MISSED IT BY THAT MUCH:
The claim that 400K trans-identified people have fled their states is based on an extrapolation from a non-representative poll that found a total of ten (10) people had fled a state https://t.co/bNgxOeZcqz
— Wesley Yang (@wesyang) August 29, 2026
Tweet concludes, “As @kittypurrzog pointed out on @TheBARPod, the 400K figure was, with some faulty math, extrapolated by Erin Reed based on the NORC survey, which included just 10 trans people who said they’d fled a state. The survey did not provide a representative sample either. So this figure has been all but plucked out of the air and was not actually reached by NORC themselves. It is a figment of Erin Reed’s work with a calculator. This is not to say that trans people are not fleeing red states. But it is extremely unlikely that 400,000 of them have.”

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE:
The present carving up of the academy is a 19th-century invention, not a sacred settlement. If sociology disappeared, economics and political science would absorb most of its intellectual work. Sociology’s sister disciplines already produce much valuable scholarship on mass… https://t.co/Pnp89DrOdS

AMERICA’S ENEMIES SYNCHRONIZE THEIR MESSAGING:
U.S. Democrats and Mark Carney are synchronizing their messages.
Carney hired Maia Johnson, a staffer for Hillary Clinton, to run the trade negotiations.
Pretty clear the reason Carney ripped up a done deal was to embarrass Trump and help Democrats in the mid-terms. https://t.co/N6WUBBag86

JONATHAN TURLEY: Judge Talwani and why liberal complaints about the ‘shadow docket’ are so hollow.
As with the national injunctions that plagued the Trump administration in its first year, this tactic was all too familiar. Litigants would go to liberal judges in Washington, Boston, and other blue cities to secure injunctions that would take years to fully litigate. That approach effectively allowed individual judges to pursue their own preferred policies or to prevent a president from carrying out promises made during an election. At most, the president might have a year left after these cases slogged through the conventional appellate process. It is an administrative version of the old adage that “justice delayed is justice denied.”
What concerned the justices was that many of these injunctions directly contravened earlier precedent, exposing the cynical purpose of these orders. For a president to be able to carry out major changes, he had to run a gauntlet of hundreds of judges, any one of whom could effectively negate reforms. In response, the Supreme Court ramped up the use of the emergency docket and cracked down on national injunctions, quickly reversing the rapidly incr
With the midterm elections rapidly approaching, the odds favor challengers in either running out the clock or prevailing on the merits on the mail-in ballots. But Talwani and some other judges have reinforced suspicions of the Roberts court that some courts are willing allies of partisan groups in seeking to gum up the system.
Ironically, Roberts is one of the most likely conservative justices to be concerned with the Trump administration’s effort to force election integrity reforms on the states. Either way, it is the shadow of these judges, not the docket, that is casting the most ominous concern for many of the Supreme Court justices.

HOW IT STARTED: Just go, Rambo.
At least one Connecticut newspaper is having some fun with the dissembling of U.S. Senate candidate Richard Blumenthal about what he did during the Vietnam War.
The Republican American of Waterbury has taken to calling the brittle, strikingly thin Blumenthal “Rambo,” after the beefy fictional hero of cinematic treatments of the war.
And the newspaper has, with tongue undeniably in cheek, has taken to calling “Rambogate” the furor that has erupted over Blumenthal’s periodic false claims to have served in Vietnam.
How It’s Going:
