I've been dealing with #SCOTUS this afternoon, so just seeing this.
This is irrelevant.
I wrote about this back in September. msnbc.com/opinion/califo…
Really hard to see how the system changes if even the governor of California can't apply his state's parole law appropriately here. msnbc.com/opinion/califo… Image

BREAKING: Supreme Court blocks enforcement of Biden administration OSHA workplace vaccine-or-test mandate and allows enforcement of HHS health care worker vaccine mandate.
The #SCOTUS ruling was 6-3 on blocking the OSHA workplace vaccine-or-test mandate, with the three Democratic appointees dissenting.
The ruling was 5-4 on allowing the HHS Medicaid/Medicare vaccine mandate, with Roberts & Kavanaugh joining Breyer, Sotomayor & Kagan to stay lower-court injunctions, allowing the rule to go into effect. Thomas & Alito both wrote dissents, joined by Gorsuch & Barrett.

Some personal news … I have joined the team at @gridnews to bring my legal reporting to a new, collaborative newsroom! I am the deputy editor for legal affairs, and I’m already back at it! (It’s been tough keeping quiet!) We launch today! nytimes.com/2022/01/12/bus…
I spent a lot of time figuring out what I wanted to do next, & I’m grateful to @lkmcgann & @MarkBaumanDC for giving me the opportunity to take this as my next step. Sources & others doing interesting things: Get ready to be hearing from me, and reach out with your story ideas!
In this new job, I’ll be doing the sort of expansive, deeply reported work and (I hope) smart and helpful analysis that I’ve always loved doing. I am also working with other reporters and editors across @gridnews to help include legal perspectives in all of our work. Here we go!

RIP.
Reid was the Senate majority leader when I moved back to DC in 2009, and I covered some of his last years in office, first at Metro Weekly and then at BuzzFeed. He was a force, who understood politics at every level — and knew he needed to get things done to stay leader.
When the Senate was readying its vote on ENDA in 2013, Reid sat down with some of the reporters who had been covering the LGBT anti-discrimination bill most closely. Here was my report from then: buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg…

Well! I found my first three Sondheim playbills. Thank you, Youngstown, Ohio, for some early Sondheim in my life. (Although I’m apparently missing one Assassins playbill from Youngstown in 1996, if my brain is still working. And I guess I saw the second ITW in 1996 on a break?)
Then, some collegiate Sondheim — from American, Georgetown, and Youngstown State — from ’96 to ’01.
And, finally, that amazing Sondheim Celebration performance of Sweeney at the Kennedy Center in 2002.

The Senate voted for Rahm after 1 in the morning on a Saturday. Only three Democrats — Merkley, Markey, and Warren — voted against Rahm, who covered up the police killing of Laquan McDonald.
I mean, technically speaking, some Dems forced some Republicans to support his nomination to get him confirmed, but, yeah, a whole lotta Dems out there — @SenBooker? — who were big on police reform last year nonetheless just voted to confirm Rahm to end this year.
I highlight Booker because he was literally the lead sponsor of the Justice in Policing Act of 2020: congress.gov/bill/116th-con…
