Yeah, I was just going to say, the reason they can "end" the "settlement" so quickly essentially proves the collusive nature of the lawsuit in the first place, doesn't it?

DC Cir., 2-1, holds that Trump's ban on trans servicemembers is likely explainable only by animus towards trans people and is therefore unconstitutional. PI upheld as to currently-serving servicemembers. media.cadc.uscourts.gov/opinions/doc...

(4) Where exactly is the $1.8 billion right now?

3d Cir. holds district courts can set and enforce deadlines for notices of intent to seek the death penalty, thwarting Trump admin's attempt to go back on its promise that it wouldn't seek the death penalty in a Virgin Islands case. www2.ca3.uscourts.gov/opinarch/252...

(1) Good. (2) I assume this is to get over the current impasse in the Senate. (3) The lawyers in Trump v. IRS still need to be investigated and face sanctions.

"I have many questions," man, getting to hit someone with the Kelly Kapoor in real life must have felt incredible

5th Cir. has an interesting one about a police chief who was convicted of conspiracy to commit wire fraud involving a false car insurance claim. He argued on appeal that the evidence of agreement was circumstantial. Held: circumstantial evidence is evidence. www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...

Jared Polis, you fool.

8th Cir. holds that probable cause supported search warrant for gang member's Instagram posts and group chats in which the gang discussed several crimes, rejects argument that this defendant's mere two contributions "could mean anything." ecf.ca8.uscourts.gov/opndir/26/06...

Ya call that art? My TODDLER coulda— *grand piano crushes me on the sidewalk*

The sleepy look of a fellow who doesn't know he's scheduled for the *snip snip* later this week.

I had a band teacher from grade 8 through 12 who only ever referred to me and my brother as "the Twins" or "hey, Twin" if we were alone. Five years and she never bothered to learn to tell us apart, something that other teachers who had us as students for much less time managed to do.

Spider-Noir just gets better and better each episode. Also, Robbie Robertson is just the best character.

A great deal about our ineffective Congress would be solved by repealing the Seventeenth Amendment. Put the state legislatures back in charge of selecting senators.

Missed this one last week, but it's important to note how much they're screwing up even simple things like search warrants in their zeal to use the state against Trump's victims. reason.com/2026/05/28/r...

You could have impeached any of the people responsible for it starting over a year ago. What if at any time up to now you had said NO. Or actually put forth a firm opposition? Or not cut down at the knees any Democrat who tried to? You've let Delaney Hall BE America. The blood is on your hands.

Stephen Miller’s pathological hatred of immigrants has made stupidity and cruelty official policy across every department of the federal government. “Only American citizens and green card holders can be airport janitors” is ridiculous. This man legally worked there for almost 30 years!

I have never used unsalted butter in my cooking. If you need butter, use butter. If you need unsalted butter, that's why God invented vegetable oil.

Pedro Pascal at the Fantastic Four: First Steps premiere in Berlin was asked why he stands up for the trans community. His answer: “It’s important to stand up for those who are simply asking for the right to exist.” Powerful moment. #PedroPascal #TransRights #LGBTQIA

these are truly awful people. i wish them the worst. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/30/u...

I mean, some of them *were* "Third Rate 'Artists'" . . .

Gosh, yes. Folks, if you aren't crisping up your gnocchi, you're missing out.

This headline isn't quite right. Judge Williams has not granted the motion to reopen the case. She has ordered Plaintiffs (the Trumps) to file a response "detailing their position on the matters set forth in the Motion." It's more than I expected originally, but the case is not reopened yet.

Registering your gun with the feds: unfathomable tyranny Registering your vote with the feds: wai sayfetee

JUST IN: Judge Williams is pressing Trump's lawyers to answer for allegations that they committed a fraud on the court and filed the president's lawsuit against the IRS as a "collusive" effort to create the $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Big courtroom win for Rep. Joyce Beatty, reversing Trump's renaming of the Kennedy Center and halting Board plans to shut it down for two years, with the Court holding that the Board failed in its fiduciary duty to look out for the Center's best interests. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Ya'll, the 9th Cir. has a new website, and it's freaking me out.

Weird immigration case out of the 3d Cir. today. One judge would grant the petition for review. One judge would deny the petition for review. And one judge would dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. Held: Board order remains undisturbed w/o a majority vote. www2.ca3.uscourts.gov/opinarch/242...

Minnesota arrested an ICE agent it charged in Texas: www.startribune.com/ice-agent-ch...

A federal judge just blocked the insurrectionist slush fund … for now. Here’s the brief order: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I love the Nolan Batman films, but the dumbest idea ever was that the driver of the Batmobile has to switch from the drivers seat to lie prone to use any of the gadgets.

Martina McBride just pulled out of Trump's partisan America 250 event. 5 of 9 artists have now pulled out.

It's always the ones you most suspect.

Extremely funny to issue an indignant denial of a story that's been reported by at least three different outlets when you are also maybe the single least credible lawyer in the entire country right now

my confidence that these people are going to lose is rising and my estimate of the amount of damage they are going to do on the way out, especially as they realize they're losing, is also rising

6th Cir. revives a suit by the estate of Bernie Worrell against George Clinton for unpaid "funky dollar bills," (a copyright claim that arose bc Clinton won a state-court contracts case, oops). www.opn.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf...

2d Cir., 2-1, revives a case from a police sergeant against Sig Sauer who says his P320 inadvertently discharged during a training exercise (read: shot himself) due to defective design. Held: jury can decide without expert testimony. ww3.ca2.uscourts.gov/decisions/OP...

Beyond the obvious, ICE has no business engaging in crowd control or policing protests. They are not trained for it and this is the inevitable result.

This is an interesting read about the use of AI.

If I have no time, shrimp cocktail. If I have the slightest bit of time, a blueberry crumble with vanilla ice cream. If I have real time, chicken lumpia. (Yes, I pork is traditional, but not everyone can eat pork, so chicken for a group event.)

Shocking, totally inappropriate interference with DOJ from the White House. Add it to the long list of Trump's impeachable offenses. And impeach his DOJ appointees too, while you're at it.

The same Trump-appointee who fucked with the Broadview 6 grand jury is the one going after E. Jean Carroll.

Right, with Trump they rationalized that God had used imperfect people to do his will in the Bible, and this was no different than, say, King David. With Paxton, they're trying to pretend the crooked criminal serial adulterer who just set a pedophile free is Actually The Real Christian™

Not my area, and I'm confused as to what the "by means of false and fraudulent pretenses, representations, and promises" were involved here. What was the false or fraudulent pretense, representation, or promise?

I'm sorry, but this is just fundamentally not a serious person. How does anyone take him seriously?

Wild stuff.

Sometimes Max holds his bully stick like Triumph holds his cigar.

There's a wonky one from the 4th Cir. today about whether a "use of a firearm" sentencing enhancement can be used where D shoots V with a revolver, but the indictment only mentions shotguns, not the revolver. Held: dist. ct. failed to make necessary finding. www.ca4.uscourts.gov/opinions/234...
