If you think the Supreme Court is out of control now, imagine if Trump appoints two, three, or four more justices.

@rbreich Biden needs to open up. Can't keep shut as Supreme court keeps undoing everything 1 ruling at a time.

Let me get this straight…

The author which Trump totally "never met", could tell so many details about the encounter, a jury was fully convinced, Trump raped her.

And the porn star, whom Trump absolutely did not have sex with, while Melania was taking care of their newborn child, knows the inside of his toiletry bag, and the color of his boxer shorts.

And now the playboy model, whom Trump certainly did not have sex with, is about to testify.

And the race for presidency is still a tie?!

Wow.

@randahl Do you see any headlines that say anything more than "hush money"? There is your answer.

Iranian foreign minister says it will not escalate conflict and mocks Israeli weapons as ‘toys that our children play with’.. refused to acknowledge was behind the attack.

's foreign minister refused to acknowledge that Israel was behind the recent attack on his country and described the weapons that were used as more like children's toys.

"What happened last night was not a strike. They were more like toys that our children play with – not drones."

Via Ryan Reilly:

You’d expect your average American not to know the outcomes of these cases, but quite something for a justice to just say something factually wrong on the bench when it’s about incidents that happened in their own workplace.

Lawrence Hurley:

During argument today, Justice Alito said people who have disrupted Supreme Court proceedings have not faced jail time. That's not correct.

Amazon and Space X are fighting in court to have the NLRB declared unconstitutional.

This means the two richest men on earth want to dismantle the agency that holds them accountable for union busting.

Weekend reading: I wrote about the blind spots of the “Biden too old” discourse. What do those who describe Biden as manifestly unfit have to offer in terms of substantive arguments?

A thread, based on the piece below – and some thoughts on the latest intervention by Ezra Klein:

@tzimmer_history Ezra 's argument assumes voters know what the Biden presidency has achieved. Has any of the Biden old coverage in MSM offered evidence to the contrary? Journalism doesn't do those things. Voters have little to no knowledge of actual work done by the President.
Also, how long are we going to keep arguing about Biden's age? All the way till election day? It reeks of bad faith no matter how soft or hard the argument against Biden is.

@GottaLaff @DrGeraintLLannfrancheta I hope he just wanted to get the age thing out of the way. Long way to go, and John is an important voice.

One thing I found odd was his contradicting message on responsibility. At one point, he said it is the candidate's job to convince the voters. Later on, he says it is not just Nov 5 that is important, but every day before and after that we should pay attention to. The former message, while it has some truth instills laziness and entitlement.

The price of Huggies diapers went up 6% between April- June 2023.

Inflation, right? Wrong.

Kimberly-Clark, the maker of Huggies, reported that the cost to make its products fell by $75 million.They took the money and ran, banking $168 million in operating profits in Q3 2023.

Now, new research shows that corporate profits drove 53% of inflation during the 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2023. During the 40 years prior to the pandemic, profits drove just 11% of price growth.

You may disagree fervently with Pres. Biden's Israel policies, and that's fine. But if you come into my feed calling him "Genocide Joe" or any variation on that theme, you're blocked.

I've already had to block a few accounts for this.

Pres. Biden is not "for genocide." I will not argue with you on this topic, nor do I discuss the Israel/Hamas war here.

But I will not tolerate accusations of "genocide" by Pres. Biden. He's not "pro genocide."

If that's a prob, it's on you.

    @philip_cardella How many people know there are hundreds in Congress that voted against certifying the election results? It is so hard to communicate these because the does diddly squat except give a megaphone to crazies. That is why Republicans did well enough to get control of , and hold onto these many seats.
