Alito wasn’t bluffing: He believes the Supreme Court is above the law
No part of the Constitution gives the Supreme Court the power of judicial review either. The court created that power out of nothing. If you wanna get pissy, Alito.

Christie to pro-Trump crowd in Florida: ‘Your anger against the truth is reprehensible’
Well, Mr Christie, Trump is a symptom of the kind of party you've been a part of for decades. These people and their anger against the truth are the culmination of everything your party stands for.

AI-generated content and other unfavorable practices have put longtime staple CNET on Wikipedia's blacklisted sources
With whom did CNET maintain a top tier reputation until 2020? It's been a shell of itself for well over a decade at this point. That they've gone to full throated AI content seems to me the corpse standing up and shuffling around as a zombie.

DRAM And NAND Chip Makers Are Determined To Drive Up DDR5 And SSD Prices
And then in 5 years they'll all settle for a few million dollars in a class action for price fixing. Rinse, repeat.

Israel formally declares war against Hamas as it battles to push militants off its soil
Okay "Bibi"? Where are they supposed to go? Are you going to let Palestinian civilians enter Israeli territory? Is the border crossing with Egypt open? Will Egypt let them in? Or do you just want to say this so the thousands of dead civilians get blamed for not leaving?

Elon Musk’s Brain Implant Startup Is Ready to Start Surgery
After what happened to all those monkeys I still can't believe he got permission to move to human trials. You'd have to be stupid or insane to volunteer for this.

McDonald's order is carried into Manhattan court during Donald Trump's $250 million fraud trial
His favorite meal is a Big Mac, Filet-O-Fish, fries and a vanilla shake.
Friendly reminder that when he was booked in Atlanta they listed his weight at 215lbs.

Hunter Biden convicted of three felony counts in federal gun trial
I know multiple people, several of them fine upstanding Republicans that have violated this same law by lying on this same form. Hell, one of them has done it repeatedly in order to straw purchase firearms for his son, a convicted felon.

A Supreme Court dispute over a $15,000 IRS bill may be aimed at a never-enacted tax on billionaires
Cool, I've never received a distribution, dividend, or other payment just from owning my house. Are my property taxes unconstitutional too?

I'm leaning more on nobody using it. Didn't help that they partnered with Amazon for it.

NYC pro-Palestine rally splits Democrats over Israel
Reply in thread
That would be like some county asking the US to deescalate the day after the 9/11 attacks.
Yeah and our escalation really improved things, didn't it?
What Israel is going to do is mount a full scale invasion of Gaza and they're going to be even more heavy handed than usual. Tens of thousands of innocent people are going to die, that don't have to die.

Bloodbath at RNC: Trump team slashes staff at committee
Reply in thread
Hopefully they funnel every dollar the RNC has at his legal bills instead of any election campaigning and hamstrings the party down-ballot.

Bernie Sander to the Mainstream media: "go to Gaza, and take your camera show us the emaciated children who are dying from malnutrition because of Netanyahu's policies."

I'm pretty sure they actually can't at all. Israel bars foreign journalists from entering Gaza.

Ohanion was also a fucking prick, shitting up the company while he was there. All the Ellen Pao stuff and the r/IAMA clusterfuck that led to the first big Reddit shutdown? Yeah that was all Ohanion's doing. Then he let Pao take all the heat for his decisions and get ousted.

Supreme Court rejects bid to restrict access to abortion pill
I think a lot of people are surprised by this, but I think it's mostly 9-0 because it wasn't really settled on any merits -- these people just did not have standing to sue.
I'm pretty sure this came out of the 5th Circuit and I'd expect to see more rulings like this smacking the 5th Circuit down because it specifically has gone off the rails and started making insane rulings unsupported by any law or precedent.
While SCOTUS has made some questionable rulings in the last several years, they're still going to punt in obvious situations where they can.

Yeah and a bunch of extra kids surely won't increase costs of Medicaid.

Nikki Haley dogged by Civil War controversy: ‘I had Black friends growing up’
She went to Orangeburg Preparatory School, a private school that was formed by the merger of two private schools that were segregation academies. Ask her how many black classmates she had. If the answer isn't zero it was in the low single digits in a county that's 60% black.

Rudy Giuliani hit with $148M verdict for defaming two Georgia election workers
Reply in thread
Rudy took a private plane to turn himself in in Georgia this summer. An article I read mentioned he has an apartment in Manhattan listed on the market for $6.1M. Now, I doubt he's got $148M, but he's not dead fucking broke like he's trying to claim. At least not yet.

'Jubilant' Giuliani was mocking prosecutors seconds before they found him at party
I'm not a lawyer, but wouldn't pretty much every jurisdiction consider you properly served if you were posting publicly demonstrating knowledge of the case and especially that you were dodging service?
