In jr high, I had a friend who got his bell rung while we played backyard football. Everyone asked questions like "what day is it," & "who is the president," etc. (the '80's concussion protocol). The only question he got consistently right was "what is Tony's Pena's number?"

@IAMMGraham People got so used to a nearly half century of constant and steady provocation that they can’t even recognize it anymore.

I gotta ask: do the people calling military action against Iran “unprovoked” NOT know about Hamas? Hezbollah? The Houthis? The IEDs used against US troops in Iraq? The terror attacks on Jews around the world? The assassination plans targeting American leaders?

Forcing senators to talk during the filibuster is literally how the filibuster is supposed to work. Republicans either don’t want to sit through another 25 hour speech by Cory Booker or are being paid off by lobbyists. Either way, they’re betraying us for personal gain or comfort
Eric Daugherty@EricLDaugh

🚨 BREAKING: At least 4 REPUBLICAN SENATORS are NO or leaning NO on a talking filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act with 50+1 votes, per Punchbowl Sen. Thom Tillis is currently NO unless he sees a "clear plan" to pass the bill without nuking the filibuster Sen. John Curtis warned that if this process upended up a Democrat amendment spree, he wouldn't vote to table their amendments if it means "changing the Senate's rules" Other problematic senators: Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski That brings our 53 GOP majority to 49 votes. You need 50 the WHOLE WAY through to get this done. Sen. John Thune has said discussions are ongoing and that the GOP must have a guaranteed unified front to win a talking filibuster WE NEED TO GET THEM ON BOARD! This is an 85-15 issue. 🇺🇸

@seanmdav I understand the rule of judicial interpretation by which the court should not assume the legislature intended an illogical result, but I also am not a fan of legislatures abdicating their duty by lazily writing bad laws that invite courts to decide later what they mean.

@seanmdav Counterpoint: the question is not what is logical, but what is legal. If Congress wrote IEEPA with a clear but illogical structure, is that not what POTUS is bound to implement?

The Supreme Court’s decision against Trump’s emergency tariffs is a complete mess, both as a matter of logic and construction, as the opinion has different majorities in different sections. The justices themselves couldn’t even consistently agree on the ruling. As Kavanaugh notes in his dissent, the decision effectively means Trump may unilaterally ban all foreign imports (an infinite tariff for all intents and purposes) on an emergency basis, but may not levy a $0.01 tariff on any good. You don’t have to be a lawyer to see how stupid and illogical that is. But given his Obamacare decision, Roberts has made clear that stupid and illogical is the defining characteristic of Roberts’ tenure as chief justice.

Folks. If I told you what I was working on, you wouldn't believe me. MAJOR STORY announcement coming TONIGHT. Honestly, it may be the most important story I've done in my 15 years of working on Penn State Football.

@BridgetPhetasy In some odd way, I am at least a _little_ bit heartened by the fact that she seems to struggle to answer the questions. As if even the advocate for this 🐴💩knows how utterly ridiculous and asinine this is.

Riddle me this. Four major Big Law firms are counted on the side that thinks men have a legal right to play in women's sports. There are zero major firms on the other side. Some good boutiques, no doubt, but oddly these small firms are even representing multiple amici in the case filing separate briefs (a weird thing before SCOTUS). Not a single Big Law firm to be found to represent these amici seeking to weigh in on an issue that is 80/20 in the normal world. Think about that.

@ChrisLongKSTP I did not have a rooting interest in the game last night. Had reasons to root for or against either team, but he was pretty much the single biggest reason I was rooting for Miami to be done - bc of things like this. I kept hoping for Ray Isom to swoop in and take him out. ;)

His has his own videographer, steps in front of a credentialed photog trying to shoot the game-winning touchdown in a national semifinal, then steps in front of a referee signaling the touchdown, THEN walks onto the field of play. Sure. Let anybody run around wherever they want.

@schadjoe Couldn't be more wrong. Now, in early November there are DOZENS of teams still in contention for the championship. It used to be there might be 4 or so still playing for it by then. So many games in late October or November are MORE compelling now. Not less.

The expansive playoff has weakened the college football regular season
Graham Coffey@GrahamCoffeyDC

College football once had the best regular season in sports. Any week could eliminate a top contender Last year, Ohio St lost to a 6-5 archrival and won a title Now, Miami lost to 8-4 Louisville & 8-4 SMU and gets to play for a title in its own stadium I hope not, but I am afraid another round of CFP expansion and five more years of this will make a lot of people view this as a one-month sport like basketball

A story that has the potential to be one of the biggest events of the 21st century so far, and it does not appear to be getting anywhere near the level of attention it deserves
OSINTdefender@sentdefender

Crowds of demonstrators tonight in the Iranian capital of Tehran are said to number upwards of twenty-five thousand, with major police action taking place throughout the city as rumors swirls concerning the possible deployment of the Basij Resistance Force and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

On this day in 1789, the first presidential electors are selected. Just a few weeks later, the Electoral College would elect George Washington as the nation’s first President. /1 of X #storytime 🧵👇

“It’ll be called college football. The games will be primarily on Saturdays, so the sport can be properly observed when most people are off work that day and the next.” “Even the semifinals and championship, sir?” “Of course not! The semifinals will be Thursday and Friday, while the championship will be on a Monday.”

Legendary clip… "To those who say that the United States is only interested in our oil, I ask those people: What do you think the Russians and the Chinese wanted… The recipe for Arepas?"
