I can’t say I’m an expert on the Handmaid’s Tale. Does the plot involve a woman graduating from law school, getting high-powered clerkships, becoming a highly regarded law professor and jurist, then possibly ascending to the highest court in the land?

Congratulations to all involved. Trump made a great pick. McConnell played it shrewdly, as usual. Senate Republicans didn’t blink at the outset when pressure was most intense. And Barrett demonstrated to everyone that she is eminently qualified. Well done.

A superb speech, tough but appropriately so, gave our forefathers their due, invoked the wonders of American culture, and accurately stated the stakes of the culture war—Trump’s best since Warsaw

His point about how alleged misinformation was suppressed and, with time, emerged as the truth (or at least as entirely reasonable) is utterly unanswerable and should create a profound sense of modesty among the cancellers, if they are capable of regret or reflection

I know he won’t do this, because obviously the political narrative is important to him and people around him, but Mueller should say, “I wrote a 400-page report. That’s my testimony. Do with it what you will.”
Robert Mueller testimony update via @jeremyherb: Nadler says "it won't be next week. But we're negotiating with him, we're talking to him and the Justice Department."

President Trump will hit the campaign trail this month — despite the deadly coronavirus pandemic, which continues to impact the lives and livelihoods of households across the country.
"The rallies will be tremendous," a campaign manager said.

What a truly beautiful and deeply moving act of memory
Visited the grave of my friend’s father and witnessed a remarkable ceremony. The letters on the white crosses almost disappear in the brightness of the stone, so a soldier fills the indentations with sand from Omaha Beach to bring the name forward. It sent shivers down my spine.

The most insulting racist stereotypes are OK so long as they are traveling under the banner of progressivism
Next, the government defines "white culture" as one that focuses on the corrupt and racist values of "individuality," "meritocracy," "linearity," "progress," "objectivity," and "the written word."

We haven’t reached peak insanity, but setting an appointment to tear down an Abraham Lincoln statue known as the Emancipation Memorial in the name of racial equity has to be getting close
"Thursday at 7pm, we're tearing this motherf–ker down."
Protestors set a date and time to attempt to tear down the Emancipation Memorial in DC depicting President Abraham Lincoln standing over a freed slave.

Of course Democrats will focus their ire on Manchin, but the basic problem is that Biden wanted to pass a FDR/LBJ-type agenda without a FDR/LBJ-type mandate, and without the same congressional majorities or political skills.
He’s been undone by his own hubris and poor judgment.

Let me be clear: I will not vote to pack the courts & I will not vote to end the filibuster. The U.S. Senate is the most deliberative body in the world. It was made so that we work together in a bipartisan way. If you get rid of the filibuster, there's no reason to have a Senate.
