Good grief lemme grab a cig and a martini b/c the news is about to go crazy
Aaron RuparI'm leaving this morning for our annual mid-summer ⚾️ roadtrip. Posts will be sporadic until Monday. Here's to a smooth journey on America's highways, and I hope you have a great weekend too ✌️
Truly like there comes a point where b/c of SCOTUS bs the entire federal judiciary needs to be put in rice overnight and we have been quite a bit past it for some time.
jamelleneed to start thinking now about a full package of judicial reforms: new justices, new circuits, new district courts, ethics reforms, docket reforms, and transparency reforms.
I could’ve run through a concrete wall after this moment. VOTE MARKEY!!
PaulEd Markey tears into Seth Moulton: "Massachusetts deserves better than a senator who scapegoats trans kids." The crowd goes fucking wild.
I’d regularly get “spoken to” by professors and peers in law school for saying that conservative/Republican-appointed judges were overwhelmingly people with completely unserious views and weirdly mad about the South losing the Civil War and lo and behold the Robert’s Court regularly proves me right
Lawrence HurleyNEW: Chief Justice John Roberts bemoans that Americans don't understand how the Supreme Court operates and see justices as "political actors". The court at times simply has to make "unpopular" decisions, he adds: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...
Ok Rahm Emanuel didn't run for DNC chair but I don't like that he's in the same sentence as the words "President" and "2028" and "nominee" so I'm re-upping this to say that if Rahm Emanuel runs for President I will publish my missive on his brother being embarrassingly terrible at golf
John FerraroIf @thedemocrats.bsky.social elect Rahm Emanuel as DNC chair I promise on my life I am going to publish a long missive on every time his brother missed golf swings at the country club I worked at as a young lad, Rahm if you read for the sake of Ari's pride I STG don't even put a hat in the ring
Girl honestly on behalf the entire frozen solid Northeast fuck you and your entire three-suburbs-in-a-trench-coat-pretending-to-be-a-city with your “dramatic heat wave”
Los Angeles TimesL.A. simmers under 'dramatic' winter heat wave. How long will it last?
The words that express the proper level of disdain and contempt due to Bari Weiss defy all written and spoken language.
Ron FilipkowskiWhy did CBS delete this promo and cancel this from airing in full?
At some point, there really needs to be a serious conversation in every state/jurisdiction/federal district about the need for a lot of the lawyers enabling this to face some very serious discipline, and that is up to and including disbarment.
Aaron Reichlin-MelnickJust saw this today. This is a transparent attempt to KILL DUE PROCESS by lying about the job of immigration judge and stacking the deck through hiring only bloodthirsty lawyers who want to deport people. This comes after they pushed out over 100 judges deemed too likely to grant relief.
Oh so these are 100% the people who are livid about Mamdani being elected in a city/state none of them even live in and so now they need to punish the whole country. Cool cool, I see what's going on.

Olga NesterovaNew sign outside the Oval Office..
Oh I might need to head back over to that other site for the evening just to watch the crash out in real time……. 👀
Molly WhiteUpdate #2: Ackman is still convinced Cuomo is going to win, and has proposed Cuomo adopt the slogan "MNYGA"
Without a doubt, @jimaloisi.bsky.social is one of the best #bospoli #mapoli voices on here. I remember seeing this post he made a while back, and thinking he was probably right a 30 point margin was overly optimistic. Jim, with all due respect, I am tickled that you (and me!) were proven wrong.
Jim AloisiTwo quick thoughts about the Boston #mapoli mayor's race: (1) Kraft can't win - his negative messaging isn't compelling, limited to White Stadium & bike lanes; (2) Wu will win the primary but unrealistic expectations that she will win by a 30 point margin need to be managed by her campaign.
Devastating news for me and my fellow Modern Pastry girlies
Gintautas DumciusTAKE THE CANNOLI: The mayoral race has hit the cannoli shops in Boston's North End Mayor Wu recently taped a video with the folks at Mike's Pastry... ...while Modern Pastry has Josh Kraft signs in its windows
Not at all surprised at this data. And, also unsurprisingly, Steve goes 4/4 on terrific endorsements for at-large!
The Fort PointerInteresting stats + comments on the At-Large race. Kraft-aligned candidate is receiving nearly 50% of support from outside of Boston. Surprised? My POV: Impressed by many. Voting for Alexandra Valdez in addition to incumbents Louijeune, Santana, Mejia. www.reddit.com/r/boston/com...
