That the median age in the U.S. keeps increasing is largely a function of the baby boom. But that older Americans are so much more heavily White is an important factor in understanding the effects of that aging. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/06/22/white-america-older/

California Rep. Adam Schiff becomes the 25th House member to be censured. The action, taken on a 213-209 party line vote, rebukes him for comments he made about investigations into Donald Trump’s ties to #Russia. He will be required to stand in front of the House while the resolution is read. https://apnews.com/article/318300df0f7b4f51c5b0ba5dd91edd23

Let me get this straight: Every single federal judge in every single jurisdiction in the U.S. is subject to a binding code of ethics — except Supreme Court justices. Hello?

After Ron DeSantis, an avid golfer, moved into the Florida governor’s mansion in 2019, workers installed a golf simulator worth tens of thousands of dollars in the private pool cabana so he could practice his game

But DeSantis did not pay for the simulator. Neither did the state government. Instead, it was funded by a wealthy donor and prominent businessman, Morteza Hosseini, according to four sources familiar with the matter and state government records

Nothing says the Supreme Court needs a code of ethics like a justice accepting free luxury travel from a GOP billionaire megadonor, and then failing to recuse himself when that donor had business before the Court.

It’s hard to believe but—no, actually, it’s not hard to believe. Justice Alito, palling around and accepting private junkets from billionaires with business before the Court? Another scandal rocks SCOTUS. I break it down in today’s piece. https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/scotus-has-alito-problem?sd=pf

Spoiler alert: people are not going to stop caring about the right to access #abortioncare. Anti-abortion extremists always have been and always will be on the losing side of this issue when voters have a say. Good for Dems for continuing to highlight this.

DNC to raise billboards in Times Square, across U.S. to highlight abortion rights a year after Roe v. Wade struck down -

Governor Greg Abbott just vetoed a bill that would allow disabled Texans to vote by mail

I’m guessing Abbott vetoed this from his wheelchair?

Same as Clarence Thomas looking to repeal interracial marriage, Lindsey Graham attacking same-sex marriage, and Dubya attacking education. Hate and self owns.

Rogue, my American Bully/American Pitbull Terrier mix turned one yesterday. I swear she has forgotten everything she has ever learned and turned into a demon.

I still love her like it's going out of style, but she was a handful today.

I probably forgot to mention that I got her DNA test back maybe a month ago. Breeds confirmed. Over 95% American Bully, but definitely has the terrier look.

If I were so obscenely rich I could drop half a million to take a family member on some risky trip to, say, the bottom of the ocean, I'd probably consider dropping a few thousand extra to hire someone to research whether the guy running the trip was a total clown who ignored blatant engineering and safety issues https://newrepublic.com/post/173802/missing-titanic-sub-faced-lawsuit-depths-safely-travel-oceangate

I've only known I was gay for a few years, but I really appreciate how all the friends I've spoken to about it have either been very supportive or haven't even cared at all.

However, comments like this from a YouTube rando deserve an unequivocal response:

• Yes, I support pride.
• Yes, I consider myself woke.
• Pride includes everyone; there's no LGB without the T.

I've never sworn on Twitter in the 14 years I've been there, but as this is Mastodon: this person can fuck right off.
