Staunch Reconstructionist. Radical Republican.

A rogue executive going after the citizenship and thus eligibility of a duly elected member of Congress, an attempt to usurp the House's fundamental constitutional power to decide who its own members are, is dangerous in a way that exceeds even the possibility of bogus trumped up criminal charges.

Having the whole thing blow up in their faces like this is worth more to Talarico than bothering with a lawsuit would be. He'd have a genuinely hard time showing damages for one thing, but more generally, defamation litigation is a massive pain in the ass and very rarely worth your time and effort.

of course they never cared about Pride, but the world in which they pretend to care is vastly better than the one in which they don't pretend and we are seeing it in real time we want the money to think there's more profit in being performatively woke than performatively bigoted

I mean no disrespect but I can't believe we're still pretending "corporations never cared about Pride" is an interesting thing to say. even during peak corp Pride I think you had to be exceptionally dim to not get what was going on lol like yeah I think I know Chipotle would kill me for a nickel

That would mean acknowledging Biden did very good and praiseworthy things as president which, per Intercept editorial policy, is cringe and lame, which is what's driving Segura here.
