Supremes overturn 1984 "Chevron deference" to federal agencies, forcing Congress to either give teeth to regulatory ambiguities and so pay the political consequences they otherwise avoided, or defer to judges deciding for them from now on
It's complicated, but it's a good thing because it restores accountability to the political sphere. No one elects the agencies. But that will cut both ways, seeing how politicized the judiciary has become.
It's also a BFD. The New York Times is in a panic over it.

The mother of Emily Baden, Barbara Baden, was a long time executive with PBS, thought her daughter's vulgar signs in front of her house were OK
Explains a lot.
Her mother Barbara Baden, a former PBS executive, said her daughter's "Fuck Trump" sign, placed "near where children wait for the school bus", was "made with good intent".
The daughter and her boyfriend stayed in the house with her mother during COVID.
They are proud liberals and BLM-ers and readily admit they called Mrs. Alito a cunt.

Trump's presidential immunity: Democrats want you to forget, for one, that Obama played the tyrant when he assassinated an American citizen in Yemen in 2011 by drone without due process of law
And it wasn't just Anwar al-Awlaki, born in New Mexico.
Obama assassinated three other American citizens, in the same and two other strikes.
Y'all just let that slide because you liked Obama.
. . . the Obama administration never charged al-Awlaki with a crime or even presented concrete evidence of his guilt . . . his targeted killing left American citizens with little more than the proposition that we are supposed to simply trust the president and the executive branch when they use secret intelligence to accuse an American citizen of terrorism and then claim the right to kill that individual without judicial scrutiny.
More.
The New York Times, May 2013, after Obama was safely re-elected:
In his letter to Congressional leaders, Mr. Holder confirmed that the administration had deliberately killed Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical Muslim cleric who died in a drone strike in September 2011 in Yemen. Mr. Holder also wrote that United States forces had killed three other Americans who “were not specifically targeted.” . . . Mr. Holder confirmed the government’s role in the deaths of Samir Khan, who was killed in the same strike, and Mr. Awlaki’s son, Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, who died in another strike. The letter disclosed the death of a fourth American named Jude Kenan Mohammad but gave no further details.

California is the poster child of failed democracy
The primary was yesterday.
The UK, with a population more than twice the size of California, would have had the entire vote for any race counted within hours.
But California has made no progress since this morning.
In the crucial race for US Senate, California has made almost ZERO progress after twelve hours.
This is how you create the conditions to tamper with the vote. You get people accustomed to delays like today time after time so that people tire of raising any objections. And then boom! you steal the election when you need to because it took forever last time, why not THIS time?
At 8:34am, the New York Times reported 48% of the vote counted in the US Senate race:
Tonight, at 8:53pm, they've made it up 1 point to 49% counted:

The New York Times knows that you are putty
Mr. Archer told lawmakers during the session that Hunter Biden had put his father on speakerphone to talk to his business partners about 20 times over a decade, according to both Republicans and Democrats in the room. ... But Democrats said that Mr. Archer had described the conversations in which the elder Mr. Biden participated as short and casual — about topics like the weather — and his interactions as little more than stopping by a dinner or a hotel for a brief handshake or a few pleasantries over the phone. ... It has long been known that the elder Mr. Biden at times interacted with his son’s business partners.

Donald Trump betrayed the right on immigration, and tried to on guns, twice
The New York Times, May 27, 2022, here:
Unbeknownst to the public, however, Mr. Trump again pushed inside the White House for significant new gun-control measures more than a year later, after a pair of gruesome shooting sprees that unfolded over 13 hours. Those discussions have not previously been reported. On Aug. 3, 2019, a far-right gunman killed 23 people at a Walmart store in El Paso. Early the next morning, a man shot and killed nine people outside a bar in Dayton, Ohio. Both assailants used semiautomatic rifles. At the White House the next day, Mr. Trump was so shaken by the weekend’s violence that he questioned aides about a specific potential solution and made clear he wanted to take action, according to three people present during the conversation. “What are we going to do about assault rifles?” Mr. Trump asked.
