New, from me: This should be a clarifying moment about the relationship the Supreme Court's opposition to representative democracy in America.
Lets look at some graphs that make this point. 🧵

This segment is so so good. Truly no one out there uses his platform like John Oliver
We had the BEST time at #CrookedCon - the episode we recorded will be out Monday!!
@profmmurray.bsky.social @leahlitman.bsky.social @kateshaw.bsky.social @crooked.com
OPINION: Unlike previous settlements between Trump and private corporations, in this one, the president’s allies will be enriched while taxpayers will foot the bill.
Was thrilled to help consult for this fantastic John Oliver segment on the tragic plight of U.S. public media and why, if we hope to be a democracy, we still need public media for so many things that commercial media will never provide. Deserves a wide viewership. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yknM...
1/ A few thoughts about @williambaude.bsky.social’s comment in yesterday’s NYT chat that, “It’s amazing how many of our problems today could be solved by a Congress that was willing and able to legislate in response to national problems.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/o...
