I am awaiting the start of the U.H.A. v. Bondi preliminary injunction hearing. Credentialed media have remote access, but Law Dork's request for a public-access line was denied by the magistrate judge yesterday. Background:

You heard Mierin. We need beetle cookies right away! (Narrator: The gai'shain puts on his tailor-made beetle-mushing shoes and runs in the direction he thought he saw the beetles going which, of course, is as wrong as possible.)

@ezralevin.bsky.social @leahgreenberg.bsky.social @drjljohnson.bsky.social Would really be good on your weekly stand up. He's running for Governor of South Carolina. Speaking of necessary trouble.

Today I learned that "Non-responsive" is Judge-ese for Bullshit.

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.

Special Needs teachers can be the absolute highlight of a kids day. They made my son's trip through the school system bearable for him. He would have been ruined if this had been his teacher.

1. The president is burning up the American middle class with the largest tax increase since the early 1990s, which itself is snowballing the price of everything from coffee to clothes to carpets to car parts. Yet this isn’t a major, ongoing, attention-grabbing story.

I've been seeing a lot of people disparaging democracy as a failure. It has not failed us. We however as a nation have been failing it. For it to succeed, it needs an engaged and informed populace. Which is why those who want power but not responsibility, attack Free speech and public education

Appreciate @stephaniemiller.bsky.social having me on. We got into the stuff that actually matters here in Northwest Georgia — focusing on people, not political fandom, and bringing real opportunities home for families who deserve better.

A third candidate said, "that if it wasn't for #RankedChoiceVoting he would have been reluctant to enter the race." #RCV allows all candidates to run without vote splitting or spoilers. Watch for more real-world views on Easthampton's use of #InstantRunoffVoting: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7AJ...

Rather than turn former Honduran President Hernández over to immigration officials when he was released from prison just four years into a 45-year sentence for allowing traffickers to export more than 400 tons of cocaine to the U.S, the Trump administration paid to transport him to a posh NYC hotel.

#GrumpyPolitics I remember when Project 2025 hit the airwaves big, suddenly Trump had nothing to do with it. In spite of keynoting the opening session to write it. In spite of most of the writers having served with him in his first term. In spite of Heritage bragging about it. 1/

I was privileged to sit beside dear Jesse Jackson during the breakfast prior to him giving this speech. He wasn't well then but we did our best to have a conversation. Our eyes and smiles did the talking for us when it was difficult for him to find the words. June 22, 2019 was a special day. RIP sir

"Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes." -Anne Frank, 1/13/43

Headed into DOJ now to review the unredacted Epstein Files. After yesterday’s disgraceful performance by Pam Bondi, it’s more important than ever that we double down. We’re going to see the documents ourselves and keep fighting for justice for Epstein’s victims.

Reminder to all: Among the list of "first things" we have to do is to pass an amendment saying this kind of gerrymandering cannot ever be done again. IMO, it's the biggest driver of extremism.
