Woodward & Armstrong’s The Brethren investigated the Court decades before Dobbs (in 1979). It was savaged by critics, pretty obviously because it threatened to take a sacrosanct liberal institution down a peg. It’s the exception that proves the rule! https://t.co/V37YGt1cDn https://t.co/3vgkjEHAM7

“The deeply polarized American moment and the Roberts court’s life-altering rulings appear to have resolved that argument in favor of making the justices’ private actions subjects for investigative reporting.”
This is classy BS for: When the Court was liberal, press left it… https://t.co/jnHYzWFXJK

Would be interested in the @FT’s article on America’s Crisis of Loneliness. And I’m an @FT subscriber! But wait: to read it I have to get past a second paywall, $340/year more to be “premium.” Enough to make you feel excluded. Maybe a bit lonely. What would @RobertDPutnam say?

Could the “other crime” be a parking ticket? Literally jaywalking? Theft of cable services? Loud leafblowers? [OK, give them that] https://t.co/ja5s81YHil

If Lou Reed knew they’d be playing VU’s “I’m Waiting for My Man” at the Beverly Hills Erewhon in 2024 while patrons eat $28 take-out smashburgers, maybe he’d have had less of a chip on his shoulder? A bigger chip?

Also amusing because both reporters and WH set out to show that Biden has a clear plan, and as story goes on it becomes obvious they don’t have a clear plan at all yet, or if they do the reporters didn’t get them to share it. https://t.co/X7NzHMr2T0

That’s the beauty of stopping Biden’s fake asylum surge, no? Fewer people seeking housing lowers rents and prices relatively quickly—without having to build anything more. https://t.co/pvRJhq7rwz

Bedwetter Caucus growing! @henryolsenEPPC doesn’t even outline a full Biden exit scenario:
1. Mistrial or acquittal in Bragg case (we’ll know soon)
2. Biden doesn’t just not win 1st debate. He loses.
3. Due to 1 & 2, he falls > twice as far behind in swing states before Aug.… https://t.co/2GH0amT2CD

I see @DLeonhardt has made this point, with more nuance–a bit too much nuance–in the @NYTimes https://t.co/UqHoa8ZzO6 Leonhardt doesn’t explain *why* Biden & his aides have dallied. Is it just fear of Dem activists and interest groups? That would be pathetic. https://t.co/IbGdkS0HKG
