Household wealth for those under 40 in the U.S. is up 49% from its pre-pandemic level, according to a new analysis. Young households haven't seen wealth growth like this since the Federal Reserve first started tracking this data in 1989. trib.al/46940ah

1. So what about that Ben Franklin quote that Trump's lawyer, John Sauer, read to the Supreme Court during the Supreme Court case on presidential immunity? Was it accurate? The words are fine, but Sauer's interpretation was deliberately misleading. Franklin would be horrified.
They scammed the country. Leonard Leo ally Tim Busch says that abortion isn’t a “states rights” issue after all. Nope. They plan to use the 14th Amendment to overturn state constitutional amendments protecting abortion rights. He also calls SCOTUS the “Leo court.” 1/
Trouble with this theory (if not the notion of a hard ceiling) is that Trump's floor is significantly higher than 44 by any measure. His vote share *grew* overall and virtually everywhere against a then reasonably popular Biden. Top out at 48? Sure, but that may well be enough!

Fascism isn’t a program but a “mood” created by “mobilizing passions” such as “a sense of overwhelming crisis” &“the belief that one’s group is a victim, a sentiment that justifies any action, without legal or moral limit, against its enemies” (P. 41 Paxton, Anatomy of Fascism)

Since we’re talking dogs, I once flew into the Helmand to pull a wounded EOD K-9 off the X. The moment was so surreal that I whipped out my camera and snapped this horrible photo. 14 men, went after that dog like they would any other critically wounded service member.
Reading the transcript of Bill Barr's interview on CNN last night in full really drives home the false equivalency he's attempting to draw. The idea that regular policy issues (border/clean energy regs/school curriculum) represent the same kind of threat to democracy that Trump…

Some thoughts about the supplemental bill. This is good news, but it will primarily help Ukraine defend in 2024 and into 2025. Russia will still likely make further gains this year, and it doesn't fix all of Ukraine's issues. It should be seen as one part of a long-term strategy.

Actually, it's bad that California's average property tax rate is that low. Really bad. Excessively low property taxes is a big reason why California is so unaffordable for middle-class workers, and why so many of them are moving to Texas. Let me explain.
The average property tax rate: Texas 1.60% Florida 0.91% California 0.71% Average Full Coverage Auto Insurance: Florida $3,244 per year California $2,663 per year Texas $2,205 per year Average Median Household Income: California $84,094 Texas $61,874 Florida $61,777 Turns…
The thing is that she told the story about killing her dog because she wanted right wing people to know she is willing to do violent things even if they’re unethical and I don’t think enough people realize that.

it's easy to forget now, but one of Trump's big daily talking points 4 years ago was that Obama was somehow to blame for not developing tests for a virus that literally did not exist when he was president. complete lunacy.
"We had old-fashioned tests that didn't work ... they were broken" -- this is complete nonsense from Trump. The novel coronavirus didn't exist until late 2019, so there were no tests for him to inherit.
On Thursday Amy Coney Barrett signaled an awareness that the country needs a spare ruling to get the Jan. 6th trial going. The question, as @steve_vladeck writes, is whether John Roberts sees this, too, and follows his principle of deciding no more than what needs to be decided.
At last week’s oral argument in the Trump immunity case, Justice Gorsuch defended the Court’s focus on hypotheticals by saying it’s “writing a rule … for the ages.” Today’s “One First” explains why that’s the *exact* problem with how #SCOTUS appears to be approaching this case:

12. Once again, Trump's lawyers are trying to turn a president into a king. That they pretended that Franklin meant that Presidents should not be tried for high crimes-- is somewhat shocking to this historian.

Unintentionally perfect summation of what managers really mean when they complain about "quiet quitting." The employee is doing their job, but the manager doesn't want that, they want the emotional rush of being powerful and they're not getting it.
Olive Keogh: Quiet quitters are hard to handle because they continue to complete their assigned workload to the same (often high) standard, giving their managers an uneasy feeling but nothing specific to complain about. irishtimes.com/business/work/…
20 years in Afghanistan, nearly 2,500 US troops were killed, and over 20k injured. Less than 2.5 years in Ukraine, Russia has endured almost 20X the casualties, with a higher ratio of deaths. Russia has regenerated forces, but political costs rise each time. Can't do it forever.

If Brett Kavanaugh believes Presidents are only subject to laws that say Presidents are subject to them, why was he investigating Bill Clinton for lying?
