What is a Robertsism? It’s a term I like to use to describe memorable quotes from Chief Justice John Roberts that infuriate the right and leave one wondering whether Roberts really believes what he is saying. For example, during Trump’s first term, Roberts famously rebuked the president for calling out "Obama judges" as political actors.

The Indianapolis 500 qualifying process is a little different than any other race.It isn’t one lap. It isn’t two laps. It isn’t three laps.It’s four laps — 10 miles — around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. And the cars are trimmed out with additional boost for incredible speeds.With only 33 cars entered for the race, there will be no bumping (where the slowest cars do not qualify for the race) and all cars make the field. Alex Palou will attempt to repeat at the Indy 500 in 2026. But there certainly is prestige in where a driver starts, especially the closer…

When immigration agents pulled U.S. citizen Leonardo Garcia Venegas from his car this month and shackled him, he wasn’t surprised. He wasn’t scared.  He was tired. As ProPublica detailed last fall, he had already been detained twice before. A year ago, Garcia Venegas was filming his brother’s arrest during a raid on their coastal Alabama construction site when he was tackled by agents, who ignored his pleas that he was a citizen. A few weeks later, an officer entered the home Garcia Venegas was building and refused to trust the now-26-year-old’s Alabama REAL ID, which only citizens and legal residents…

Dear gentle readers: Apologies for a somewhat ragged Coffee Break today.  Traveling in Scotland and time has been taken up with details (all good) along with a few unexpected disconnects (as in stuff happens).
