Chief Justice Roberts has been bulldozing through Supreme Court judgments on behalf of the GOP, based not on constitutionality, but entirely on his own politics.
It's nothing but a massively unethical power grab & NYT has published the receipts.

One of the reasons I am cranky about LLMs is that they take some of the joy out of casual, flamboyant bullshitting-as-a-spectator-sport
For example, the telling of "tall tales", the game commercially known as "Balderdash" (in my extended family we played it as "Fictionary" and used the OED), "slideshow karaoke", bluffing at Scrabble, and this:

The main difference with the current situation is that the fictional US President Mark Hollenbach in Fletcher Knebel's curiously prophetic novel 'Night of Camp David' (1965) is a Democrat, not a Republican. Worth reading. Warning: “too plausible for comfort” (NYT).

A recent survey by the American Jewish Committee, a nonprofit, found that
91 percent of American Jews say they feel less safe in the United States in the wake of high-profile attacks last year,
including the arson attack at the home of Pennsylvania’s governor, Josh Shapiro,
and the killing of two Israeli Embassy aides last spring outside a Jewish museum in Washington.
More than half said that they had changed their behavior out of fear.
