NEW — Iran had already presented a 10-point plan.
Then Trump wakes up today and threatens to blow up Iran's "whole civilization" if they don't bend.
And then, just an hour before his deadline, he announces a ceasefire, citing Iran's "workable" 10-point plan.

But seriously folks. We cannot continue to live like this.
TACO!!!!
I guess we're just waiting around to see if this demented psychopath kills everyone: defector.com/i-guess-were...
Future generations reading social media for "original source" context will not understand why Evil '20s Americans hoped World War 3 could be avoided with a TACO.
I just told my editors "Sorry, I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought."
"They will be greeted as liberators" but for real.

Do you know how EXTREMELY FUCKED UP SHIT HAS TO BE for me to be reposting Tucker Carlson positively???
I feel like I have nothing to write. "Genocide is illegal and Trump must be tried for war crimes" feels, somehow, *under*whelming in this moment.
For the first time since the inception of the US News Law School rankings, Yale isn't #1.

They were lying? No. This is my shocked face.
Remember all this nonsense about the supposed inferiority of “third world” immigration? They really believed that and applied their theory to international relations and it failed. Racism makes you stupid.
Constitutional lawyer here. I don't think it would violate the Constitution for the VP/Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, but the intended constitutional remedy for this behavior is impeachment & removal. The fact that that remedy is politically impossible is a scandal and a crisis.

Wife: You saw about the PlayStation?
Me: Yep. The price of the brick is going up.
10yo: What’s “the brick”?
Me: A brick is an amount of dr..aaaahhhh, ummm, it’s a… uhh
Wife: The console. The brick is the console.
10yo: Oh, that makes sense.
Me: Thank you, honey. :)

I'm telling you, one of the best arguments that Republicans are planning to steal the election is that they're actively trying to lose it.
So much this. Also, the tech bro mafia doesn't really like reading. They don't *appreciate* reading. So just because *they* can't spot the difference between good writing and bad writing, they think most people can't either.
A month ago, Brad Lander put a great video calling for the expansion of the Supreme Court. I (impertinently) responded “This but 29.”
Today at 1:00, I’m hoping on Lander’s substack live to talk about court expansion, 13, 29, and all the reforms in between. Should be fun.
Some people use Rocket Mortgage to manage their unwanted subscriptions.
I let my credit card expire every five years and wait a month to see which payments I’ve missed that I wish I hadn’t.
At the risk of being naïve. At the risk of getting egg on my face come June... I think Trump got shredded in the birthright citizenship case. And I think the Court only took the case TO shred him, and look reasonable by comparison.
