It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

That's the part that sticks with me. This isn't some Tom Clancy novel where they do war crimes because it's the only way they can get at the evil terrorist criminal mastermind or something. Even if we believe them -- and, ha ha, no! -- they murdered low level drug runners. That's it!

("The Speaker has clearly and repeatedly stated he is supportive of access to IVF when sufficient pro-life protections are in place, and he will continue to be supportive when it is done responsibly and ethically")🚨 SCOOP for @MSNOWNews: Mike Johnson has secretly been working to tank a provision to mandate IVF coverage for active duty service members from the Defense Reauthorization Bill—even as Trump has pledged to expand access.

(FWIW. Related: "On one hand, sellers say AI can meaningfully automate large swaths of white collar work, which should in theory help companies save money because they won’t need to pay as many humans. On the other hand, if companies cut jobs while embracing automation, there will be fewer white collar workers buying software subscriptions...Microsoft thinks it can keep selling seat-based subscriptions for products like Office 365—to the AI agents working inside Microsoft’s customers.")We all just lost Microsoft Office suite access at NYU; unclear how final papers are getting graded. It’s crazy out there.

Sitting on 8 points, tie game, ball in hands, chance to keep streak alive with a make or get to OT with a miss, he… made the right play.…

Just noticed a bizarre printing error on this Cheers boxset, where for some reason the name of the show is missing. Lends it a real air of menace.
