I'm winding down my presence here and moving off to the tumbles and the toots. Link info is in my profile.

@mattyglesias I like the idea of parliamentary government for getting things done, but... I look at what is happening in Israel with Netanyahu's court "reforms" and start to think that maybe a third co-equal branch of government isn't such a bad idea.

GOP judicial activist directed at least $25K to Ginni Thomas in the leadup to her husband casting 1 of the 5 votes to kill parts of the Voting Rights Act. "Don't mention Ginni," in the notes makes it clear that this was inappropriate.

I suspect the main reason for this article was the opportunity to use "probe" and "Uranus" in the same headline.

Ron DeSantis' ongoing disaster with Disney is getting worse for him. It turns out his own memoir repeatedly admits that he weaponized the state against Disney for criticizing "don't say gay." Disney extensively cites his book in its lawsuit against him:
