Neither of these justices are going to retire. Ever. Alito doesn't believe the Republic could possibly survive without him. Thomas knows his "dear friends" will no longer support the lifestyle for which he has become accustomed. Roberts is more likely to ever retire than Alito or Thomas.

Jay Willis@jaywillis.net

My armchair analysis of Supreme Court Retirement Watch is that I genuinely don't think Trump wanted or wants Alito or Thomas to retire, because Alito and Thomas are already the Trump administration's de facto representatives on the Court, and I'm not sure he could find anyone better

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

I had some thoughts on Katie Zacharia's brief tenure as press secretary, and the role of Fox News in pushing her off the stage.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

"Fox News hosts are professional propagandists. I think they looked at Zacharia as someone who was not capable of covering for Donald Trump when he gets in trouble, someone who wouldn’t be able to lash out at the media for daring to cover him, and they helped her off stage because of that."

If at all possible, do not trust your ballot to the US Postal Service. Drop it in any of your county's election drop boxes or deliver it to your early voting polling places, where they have tables set up to also receive mail-in ballots. The Post Office is going to cheat for the GOP...

Alt National Park Service@altnps.bsky.social

Attn: USPS changes mean your ballot may not be postmarked the same day you mail it. Don’t wait until Election Day! Deadlines vary by state. Some require ballots to ARRIVE by Election Day, not just be postmarked.

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

Democrats laying the groundwork for real opposition, with Congress asserting budget authority to stand against Trump abuses and rights violations. Will have to overcome cries that not passing Trump's budget is irresponsible. But it's the opposite. And starting now makes that hurdle easier to clear.

NEWS --> Dems are planning novel ways to wield power of the purse against Trump's corrupt prosecutions of critics like Ilhan Omar if they win House. Reps Pramila Jayapal and Jamie Raskin tell me a range of aggressive tactics will be deployed. Details in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/2171...

To all you seniors on fixed incomes who disproportionately voted for Trump thinking he’d protect your healthcare interests. I will not lie to you about your chances of surviving his negligent abandonment but, you have my sympathies.

Rightwing politics is a smash and grab operation. Crude, violent rhetoric to get attention. Grandiose promises. Chest-pounding to convey energy. Menacing the polls. Once elected, bullying and defiance of all restraint in order to hold power. People are sick of it.

New in PN: Ramaswamy discovers that voters have their limits "This is the nature of today’s right-wing bubble, whose residents are not only acculturated to a particular political style — cruel, often hateful — but become convinced it’s the only effective way to do politics, & any other way is weak"

🚨DATA CENTERS COULD COST REPUBLICANS THE FLORIDA GOVERNORSHIP. If David Jolly wins, the explosive backlash against AI data centers will be a big reason why. Floridians don’t want these power-hungry facilities built in their neighborhoods — Byron Donalds is far too cozy with the data center lobby.

Liberal democracy remains a towering achievement of humanity and it is worth fighting for.

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

Trump is straight up saying during speeches that he wants white people coming to the country but not black. I don’t know what else people need to see.

Jack: Ashley Moody’s trying to brand you as a radical… Nixon: Her views are definitely radical because she voted to end health care for over 440,000 people here in the state alone, and millions across the country. She’s also radical because she stole $10 million from sick kids…

i feel like this evan barker person does not understand the joke obama is making, which rests on being familiar with the cheesecake factory and understanding that it is nice but not opulent.

Here’s the relevant language in the DOJ lawsuit. It asks for the election not to be certified if Peltola’s margin of victory is smaller than the number of votes cast for the third-party Sullivan. (I expect this to be laughed out of court.) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?
