John Roberts likes to stress that the Supreme Court is fundamentally nonpartisan—but many Americans believe that he has presided over the Court’s rightward march. Read a new profile of the Chief Justice. https://t.co/FgsfA2Rokv
@SopanDeb It’s apples to oranges. Every team has its own unique set of financial challenges under this new draconian CBA. It gives Stevens a lot more financial flexibility than with a non-extended Jaylen. Stevens has done enough to earn my trust - he knows what he’s doing.
Rubio’s refugee resettlement: “Last month, the United States accepted just 2,528 people into the refugee program. Everyone one of them was a white person from South Africa. So far this fiscal year, 99.96 precent of the refugees the administration has taken have been white people from South Africa. The others — three in total — were from Afghanistan. And Trump later revoked their status.”

@shannonrwatts It’s worth it. e-scooters connect well with public transit and get lots of cars off the road - just be sure to wear a helmet. It’s that mindset that we abandon something perceived to be unsafe that led to the explosion of SUVs + trucks that are now putting all of us in peril.
Thanks for acknowledging that Iranians are also being killed in this stupid, illegal war. I’m sickened by the willful ignorance of so many Americans who only talk publicly about our own losses of life.
Here is my problem with their worries about the midterms and I say this as a Democrat running for Congress, our sons and daughters are getting killed now. Iranians are being killed. The economy is collapsing. Yes, they are in trouble in the midterms but the moral abyss it takes to boil this down to a political problem is the true failure of the Republican Party. It’s not the death and suffering…it’s the loss of power. @WellmanForMO
@GlennThrush It is amazing but it’s also pretty telling that the Feds are going after a low-level LatinX White House employee cashing in to the tune of $100k when there are so many more egregious instances of corruption occurring at a higher level. They always are happy to punch down.
@JamesSurowiecki@SopanDeb All good points. Bucket-getters alone are not worth the supermax. Anfernee Simons is a high volume scorer who just got a two-year $12.3m contract, for instance.
Outside of Spencer Pratt being stupid, completely unfit and unqualified to be mayor, I think it’s strange how media is covering him as some success like LA has never seen. His numbers aren’t surprising. Rick Caruso got 35% of the vote before the runoff.
@MacFarlaneNews I don’t think the re-routing of the fund is the only controversy here, Scott. While it’s absurd, of course, the idea of a president settling his frivolous lawsuits with his “own” DOJ is just as scary a concept.
🚨The GAP between the stock market and consumer sentiment has NEVER been this LARGE:
The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index sits at its lowest level EVER, while the S&P 500 is at its all-time high.
By comparison, during the 1970s Great Inflation and the 2008 Financial Crisis, both stocks and consumer sentiment declined together.
This comes as the financial system is benefiting asset owners more than ever, while the average American faces persistent inflation, stagnant real wages, elevated housing costs, and a weakening job market.
The gap between Wall Street and Main Street has never been wider.
This is INSANE.
