Great framing of one the major challenges confronting the Left's broader reconstruction effort. The way I've been thinking about bridging the gap is by focusing on the problem of power disparities. I applied this framework to the issue of regulatory public participation. fas.org/publication/...

Compare and contrast with how the Times covered Trump's latest rape allegations

Flavor Flav is encouraging fans to play hooky so they can watch Game 6 of the WNBA Finals between the Golden State Valkyries and Atlanta Dream.

The sponsors of the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act say it will improve energy infrastructure development. The truth is that it will fast-track environmental destruction. therevelator.org/baaja/ via @therevelator.org

FWIW, the Federal Register still calls it the Department of Defense www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

🎯🧵The media's ignoring the House Judiciary Dems' report on the Epstein files evidence re Trump's rapes. But despite that, "the report is a kind of preview. This is what we can expect from a House controlled by the Democrats in the two years leading up to the next presidential election."

I expect this kind of reactionary Mad Libs from the Heritage Foundation newsletter, but this strikes me as beneath even the modest standard of dignity of the Wall Street Journal op-ed page. A troubling marker of where so-called "mainstream" conservativism is currently at.

Anyway, a career in public interest/nonprofit shares a lot of similarities with entering the priesthood or becoming a nun. I suspect many who do it reach a point where they question or even lose "the faith." That's where I'm at now.

Here’s a new Substack on the threat of getting “UET pilled” as a legal scholar. The first in a series on the new article out with Columbia.

How to accelerate climate change We knew this was coming - it's exactly what the industry has been asking for - but the irreversible damage is going to hit hard.

But Talarico is gay for eating a vegetarian breakfast burrito

Does unitary executive theory apply even when dude is technically not part of the the executive?

Jeremy Lewin killed hundreds of thousands without a signed employment agreement.

Young ‘uns: this stuff happened once a week during Obama’s presidency. Dijon mustard. Moving a bust of Churchill. Inviting a rapper to the White House. Putting his feet up on his desk. They’d scream and cry for days about how effete and snobby and Black he was and how misinderstood they were.

Detroiter Nicole Williams when asked if Abdul El-Sayed is ‘a bit too left wing to win in Michigan’: “At this point what do we have to worry about? Anything but what we have. We're on our way to hell, so at this point: socialist, socialize, social, dont matter to me, lower my cost of living!”

Wait. I thought Trump was ridding the US of so-called criminal illegal immigrants?

That means a lot of people in the Republican Party establishment have been protecting him for a long time. They're not just a threat to democracy; they're common criminals, too.

Thursday is a paid holiday. Because Flavor Flav said so.

Speaking of scandals, did you hear the elitist shit Obama said about Cheesecake Factory?

Will Trump attempt a coup to nullify a Dem victory? Are you kidding? It's already underway MAGA moves against Rep. Omar, to nullify a potential Senate loss in Alaska, or to falsely claim noncitizens are voting are unprecedented... ...but also weak My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

I guess I don't feel so bad about the Cubs finishing second to the Brewers this year

Have Republicans ever been guilty of forcing state ballot initiatives that are written in a deliberately misleading way? I forget.

Let me know if anybody is interested in a panel on reconstruction, constitutional politics, or LPE + history! 🙂

A protester yelled "Shove that ballroom up your fat ass" to Trump at his rally in Mississippi on Monday night. This clip contains two versions of the moment. The first is how it aired on a livestream. In the second I increased the audio for that moment.

691 words about Cheesecake. 434 words about rape.
