Look at that bullshit park job. And of course he drives a huge pickup truck

New world screw worm for the private sector?

Checks out.

Bro sent this photo of a green anole that just wandered up to him, and I'm sharing with you because there isn't enough lizardposting.

This sort of grotesque, juvenile and disrespectful (and ignorant--the Germans weren't the ones storming the beaches!) analogy is precisely in character with what *everyone* knew Hegseth to be. Keep the focus here where it belongs--on the 50 Senators who knowingly approved the horror.

Hegseth aligning himself rather directly with the soldiers *defending* the beaches at Normandy, who were, and you might find this surprising, not the Americans or Canadians or British, but rather, and this is interesting, the

Scheduling a shirtless gladiator fight on your front lawn while you're losing a war is certainly a choice.

Same shitty person thinks 86 is a death threat.

Missy is demanding the password before she lets me up the stairs to go to bed. (My and the DH's bedroom is upstairs and he went to bed at like 10pm.)

A new twice-yearly HIV prevention injection could transform South Africa's fight against the epidemic — but U.S. aid cuts and limited doses threaten to slow its impact. n.pr/4e0BU37

"Republicans had used census data to draw the maps, which does not include party affiliation."

can we also dispense with this bullshit that expertise is "bad"? WTF? We want specialists and experts who know everything about a particular topic to assist our government and community leaders when dealing with that topic, and that should not somehow be a controversial statement.

And here I'd just assumed that the co-host of The Man Show had been dead for some time.

1) the way he reportedly did it would be abusive to a child as well but also 2) physically moving my six year old from outside to inside our house against her will and keeping her there is legal while doing so to my adult partner is a felony for reasons immediately obvious to basically everyone.

“Graham Platner: He has a nazi tattoo and will rape men for you but not in a gay way (no homo) but in a Deliverance way” is just the message Democrats need to win the Senate.

WOW. The New Jersey AG has charged an Essex County Prosecutor’s Office sergeant for allegedly stealing a photojournalist’s camera equipment while the journo was at a hospital being treated for injuries she suffered outside Delaney Hall. The bag had an air tag and was tracked to the cop's house.

Max is 72 lbs at 7 months. Mussy is 69 (nice).

'Bout to take the pups to the vet, so I'm going to miss SCOTUS decisions this morning. I'm sure it'll turn out fine.

Fixed it for them. idahocapitalsun.com/briefs/nearl...

I think they got sick because they drank raw milk but go ahead & investigate

They're coming to take away your hamburgers! (Gosh, wouldn't it be nice if Trump and Elon hadn't fired thousands of people from USDA last year?)

Just days after voting to defund schools with trans-friendly policies and voting in favor of forced outing laws, Congressman Eugene Vindman (D-VA) Posts "happy pride." It did not go well. Our latest, from our writer S. Baum. www.erininthemorning.com/p/rep-vindma...

Kaitlan Collins doesn’t need to smile for Trump. Nobody does.

Oh, this one is fun, thanks Rhett. Held: Superior Court abused its discretion by citing nonexistent case law (from counsel) and incorporating it into its final ruling *even after opposing counsel brought it to the court's attention.* REMANDED AND REASSIGNED TO NEW JUDGE

Oh boy. 9th Cir. sanctions two attorneys for briefs containing multiple nonexistent cases, misattributed quotations, and gross misrepresentations of real cases as a result of undisclosed AI usage who then doubled down and lied when caught. Sanctions in next. cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/op...

9th Cir. extends the reasoning from a last year's case upholding California's large-capacity magazine ban, holds that silencers are not protected by the Second Amendment because they are not "necessary to the ordinary operation of the weapon." cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/op...

"the mere fact that voters of different races vote for different parties is not relevant to proving racially polarized voting patterns."

[tapping earpiece] i'm hearing reports that elections matter

Forgive me for being tedious, but "hostile work environment" has a particular meaning in anti-discrimination law. It does not mean, as an idiot snowflake like Bari Weiss would have it, that someone questioned the boss' poor leadership and she felt bad about it.

Pictured are the two most flawed paragraphs in Callais. SCOTUS declares that *it*—and not Congress—gets to decide what legislation is "appropriate" under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. Which is how we come to today's SCOTUS majority blessing racist gerrymanders bc the VRA is "colorblind."

The conservatives aren't even bothering to explain anything. Other judges say maps are unconstitutionally racist, and they just shrug it away.

#BREAKING: Over public dissents from the three Democratic appointees, #SCOTUS grants stay of district court injunction in Alabama redistricting cases, clearing the way for Alabama to use its 2023 map.

Santos has to be the stupidest criminal in history.

5th Cir. holds that historical tradition supports disarming drug traffickers based on dangerous—even possession solely inside their own homes—so a trafficker's as applied challenge to his felon in possession conviction fails under Bruen step 2. www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...

cool, so don’t fund his agency

5th Cir. it was clearly established that it would violate the Fourth Amendment for police supervisor to order a civilian employee on leave without pay to be "put back on the clock" so officers could compel him to leave his home to take a drug test. No QI. www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...

7th Cir. sanctioned another attorney for AI hallucinations in a brief ($5,000 fine) and referred the case to the Illinois bar discipline authority. FN 5 seems like a smart practice. "To avoid memorializing errors, we have chosen not to include . . ." etc. media.ca7.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/Opin...

“If the person is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.” Justice Brett Kavanaugh www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

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...
