    SCOTUS Term 25-26

    Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, and the Florida legislators who are trying to pass this. It's explicit. Are you daft?

    SCOTUS Term 25-26

    They've explicitly said they're doing this to get more Republican seats.

    SCOTUS Term 25-26

    You'd know the quality of the judges far better than I, to be sure. I think "Florida has a crap Supreme Court" also wouldn't play super great. We need national reforms, I'm so tired of this game. It's just the most shameless anti-democratic thing we do in this country (at least that comes...

    SCOTUS Term 25-26

    I think people are really going to struggle stomaching the "this was usually legal but you didn't time it right so no" for Virginia and "this is very clearly (at best) a perversion of the state constitution, so go forth with our blessing". I will, at least. Do you have any knowledge of why the...

    SCOTUS Term 25-26

    It's also worth keeping in mind they were trying to do all of this well before the Callais decision came down as well. I am not saying the Florida Supreme Court won't allow this. But I am saying that if they do it'll be a clear violation of their constitution and further evidence that the...

    SCOTUS Term 25-26

    Article III, Sections 20 and 21. It's incredibly cut and dry. SECTION 20. Standards for establishing congressional district boundaries.—In establishing congressional district boundaries: (a) No apportionment plan or individual district shall be drawn with the intent to favor or disfavor a...

    SCOTUS Term 25-26

    Except Florida and Ohio are simply ignoring their constitutions.

    How should the next Democrat president institute re-education camps for Trump supporters?

    More like see them completely debase themselves on live TV after they're forced to confront what a small person they really are.

    NPR trims jobs in newsroom overhaul as it confronts era without public funding

    I'm not aware of any other radio broadcasters that are at least attempting to be non partisan. But I only listen to NPR so I don't know.

    NPR trims jobs in newsroom overhaul as it confronts era without public funding

    Yes, there is something that we get from it being publicly funded - that we own it and it's not subject to the same profit whims as every other news organization. Not every public expenditure is bad just because we're running a deficit. I personally think that an informed populace is...

    SCOTUS Term 25-26

    If the Florida redistricting is allowed to proceed after Virginia (reasonably) wasn't, it's going to be virtual proof that Democrats and Republicans are playing by a completely different set of rules (ie the Republicans don't have any).

    The Boys

    I cannot understand your take at all. The show had been on a steady downward spiral from the moment the showrunners had to start creating their own ideas. Do you really think Bran being in charge of everything was well written? You think The Long Night was a well executed conclusion to the...

    How should the next Democrat president institute re-education camps for Trump supporters?

    I partially unironically think that The Boys covered how to break the spell with Trump in its finale.

    NPR trims jobs in newsroom overhaul as it confronts era without public funding

    You seem to be missing some of the point of Public radio. EDIT: But also no, I'm not aware of anyone else who provides quality radio reporting the way they do (happy to learn, though).
