Moderation is overrated In 2024, moderate candidates for the U.S. House barely outperformed the average partisan

I put a lot of work into this. I would be so happy if you would read and share:

Despelote review: miraculous slice-of-life soccer game pulls a hat trick Despelote is an autobiographical and sumptuously rendered slice-of-life game that shoots for gold and handily gets there.

I reviewed Despelote, which is at once the smallest game and also the biggest thing in the world. It's a towering achievement and something that will live with me for the rest of my days. My rave for Digital Trends: www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/despe...

Enjoy! Just brewed some over here, myself

whats is it about georgetown having an insane number of dipshit fascists among its ranks

Department sought. Sotomayor laid out the stakes, tying it to her dissent on Monday in the 5-4 Supreme Court order over how challenges to Trump's Alien Enemies Act proclamation can proceed: The Government now requests an order from this Court permitting it to leave Abrego Garcia, a husband and father without a criminal record, in a Salvadoran prison for no reason recognized by the law. The only argument the Government offers in support of its request, that United States courts cannot grant relief once a deportee crosses the border, is plainly wrong. See Rumsfeld v. Padilla, 542 U. S. 426, 447, n. 16 (2004); cf. Boumediene v. Bush, 553 U. S. 723, 732 (2008). The Government's argument, moreover, implies that it could deport and incarcerate any person, including U. S. citizens, without legal consequence, so long as it does so before a court can intervene. See Trump V. J. G. G., 604 U.S. — - (2025) (SOTOMAYOR, J., dissenting) (slip op., at 8). That view refutes itself. For now, at least, it did.

And, from her statement in Thursday’s order: www.lawdork.com/p/breaking-s...

In a disturbing paragraph, joined by Kagan and Jackson, Sotomayor wrote: What if the Government later determines that it sent one of these detainees to CECOT in error? Or a court eventually decides that the President lacked authority under the Alien Enemies Act to declare that Tren de Aragua is perpetrating or attempting an "invasion" against the territory of the United States? The Government takes the position that, even when it makes a mistake, it cannot retrieve individuals from the Salvadoran prisons to which it has sent them. See Defendant's Memorandum of Law in Opposition in Abrego Garcia v. Noem, No. 25-cv-951 (D Md., Mar. 31, 2025), ECF Doc. 11, at 7-9. The implication of the Government's position is that not only noncitizens but also United States citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before re-moval. History is no stranger to such lawless regimes, but this Nation's system of laws is designed to prevent, not en-able, their rise.

I still think this is a mistake if it ends Liam's future opportunities at Red Bull like it did for Gasly but if I can offer Christian some familiar advice...

Chuck Schumer Should Resign to Spend More Time With His Imaginary Friends The bad news is that the Democratic Senate leader isn’t up for reelection until 2028. The good news is that he can resign right now, and should do so—twice.

The bad news is that Chuck Schumer is not up for re-election until 2028. The good news is that he can resign right now—in fact, he should do that twice.

🚨Do pro-immigration reforms trigger backlash?🚨

In our new paper, we examine how Americans reacted to high-profile immigration reforms using an unexpected-event design and all possible daily surveys. In short: no backlash to DACA—but potential backlash to Trump’s Muslim Ban.

I googled this to make a joke about how she should compare notes with this other person, and folks,

some of the wildest, most fun things i've ever worked on were collabs with kofie. as great as the finished products were, i can’t begin to describe his genius-level ability to make everything work behind the scenes. there is literally nobody else like this dude and i'm proud to have worked with him
