I was rooting for Mastodon, but it looks like Bluesky is winning the race of the open-protocol microblogging systems, so I'm also Doug3.bsky.social.

Good feature/scoop on what the NYT describes as the origin of the Supreme Court’s shadow docket, the 2016 injunction against the Obama EPA’s Clean Power Plan rule.

Inside the Supreme Court’s Risky New Way of Doing Business

Secret memos obtained by The New York Times illuminate the origins of the court’s now-routine “shadow docket” rulings on presidential power.

My favorite Donald Trump fact is that in 2016, there was a leak of a conversation during an Access Hollywood interview where what he said about his treatment of women was so egregious that the interviewer lost his job. Then Donald Trump went on to be elected president. Twice.
