Huh, I'm no political expert but "we don't want punish child rapists because the stock market is doing well" seems like bad optics.

Holy cow. This is unheard of. I'm starting to think this might have been a meritless political prosecution.

The Seahawks want to require three points after a field goal, but Mike Vrabel says that's dead on arrival.

I would read multiple books on how the vast majority of libertarians sided with Trump. Personally, I think it's exhibit #1 in favor of the "politics became ideology" theory.

Bad Bunny reclaimed América from the United States. And made the United States just one of many in a continent where we’re all americanos. Con minúscula. “God bless América,” he goes. And then the lists all of it: Sea 🇨🇱 🇦🇷 🇺🇾 🇵🇾 🇧🇴 🇵🇪 🇪🇨 🇧🇷 🇨🇴 🇻🇪 🇬🇾 🇵🇦 🇨🇷 🇳🇮 🇭🇳 🇸🇻 🇬🇹 🇲🇽 🇨🇺 🇩🇴 🇯🇲 🇭🇹 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇵🇷 “Together we are América.”

Uhhh, ya sure. All true. But there are some, um, bigger problems with that "memo."

Yes, this is what all of my texts look like. So what.

100%. But it's so hard for courts to deal with this kind of scope. The court of appeals struck down the TRO that said "stop doing unconstitutional stuff" because it was just an order to follow the law. But similarly, it would be hard for the court to say "shut down the entire operation" because /

2026: The concentration camps don't INTEND to kill the (illegally detained) prisoners. The deaths are merely a by-product of neglect, rampant disease, inhumane conditions, refusal to provide medical care, beatings, retribution, and transfer to foreign torture prisons and third world war zones.

I don't like dealing with Civ Pro in real life. Why would you make me play The Most Stressful Part of Being A Lawyer The Game?

Ilan Wurman is the Johnathan Turley of Alan Dershowitzs.

Amazing that the guy whose career was resuscitated by saying “you’re fired” every week hasn’t fired anyone at the very moment when they all should be

I wish i'd written this tweet.

Ah come on. Back on the streets already? They at least deserve a little vacation for doing exactly what the administration wanted them to do.

The CBP agent pushes a woman onto the ground and peppers sprays her, the man is trying to protect her from them and help her up, which they respond to by pepper spraying him, tackling him, and then shooting him from behind. It’s one of the most upsetting things I’ve ever seen happen in America

Abolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

We owe it to the brave people of Minnesota to not let their sacrifices be in vain.

This was merely a Kavanaugh shooting.

Also, ICE shouldn't have firearms at all in this context! They are a civil/regulatory enforcement agency. When they are doing domestic immigration enforcement, they don't even enforce criminal law!

In a just world, the fact that *multiple agents* have their guns drawn at all in this scenario would be automatic grounds for a homicide conviction.

My take on what is clearly murder: a bunch of insufficiently-trained ICE agents dog-pile — and subdue — the victim with multiple guns drawn (why were the guns out?!). One of agents accidentally discharges his improperly-drawn gun, spooks the rest, and then they all unload in to the unarmed victim.

I really glad I have a YouTube channel because sometimes it really gives me a place to vent my rage: youtu.be/MGr-yWEu0hc

My god. The memo cites one case...which stands for the proposition that YOU DO NEED A WARRANT!

This is insane. INSANE. Without any legal basis at all, this memo says ICE doesn't need a warrant (or probable cause) to break into someone's home to arrest them. It's like a memo that says, "Actually, you DON'T have the right to remain silent."

Reminder: it would be trivially easy for a mere handful of Republicans to stop all of this.

I've heavily resisted Nazi or Hitler analogies. But Trump has recently:

 -Demanded “lebensraum” of Greenland -Blamed minorities for every problem in America -Used secret police to funnel said minorities into concentration camps*
 -Promoted white supremacy -Declared the press the enemy of the people

I feel like it’s a little bit important to be pedantic about this. Halligan didn’t step down from the US Atty position because she had never stepped up into it. She was not properly appointed. After a series of judicial decisions pointing this out, she has abandoned her charade of occupying the job.

There is a lot to hate these days. But the community response is inspiring. Shine a light; buy a bullhorn.

This is a totally reasonable thing to think! And not to pick on you, but I think it's wrong. Class actions require that it would be impractical for the victims to file individual suits, often bc the dollar amounts are so small. So if the pizza place stole $2 from everyone, better that they pay out.

Let's pump the brakes on ICE and investigate these bad apples. 😉

I'm just a lawyer, but I feel like there are some threshold jurisdictional questions here.

Always the bridesmaid and never the bride of having your president kidnapped and renditioned to stand trial in another country…

“What do you mean ‘What did we do to Venezuela?’”

No, MORE wars!

No, MORE blood for oil

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Happy New Year. In 2026, I hope everyone gets what they deserve.

Olivia Nuzzi's book is rage inducing (derogatory). Madiba's book is equally rage inducing (complimentary).

Petition to stop capitalizing the "i" in "AI" and just call it "Ai". When you capitalize it, it just looks like some guy named "AL". OpenAL. GenerativeAL. No. It ends now. There is only one Al, and it's Sgt. Al Powell.

Heeeee’s making a list, And killing them twice, ….

Techdirt and @mmasnick.bsky.social are invaluable resources in the current misinformation-disecosystem*. Definitely worth your support. If we donate enough, they might update their website! *can we make this a thing?

It's War Crimes Week here on LegalEagle.

Sounds like this Nuzzi character is a real Duzzi. I'm very sorry.

Gentlemen @michaelhobbes.bsky.social @notalawyer.bsky.social , I regret to inform you that it's abundantly clear what book must be next for @ifbookspod.bsky.social I'm very sorry. But I don't make the rules.

Chris's work is invaluable. And he's really tired. Please consider supporting him!

So I'm taking from this statement that the results of the MRI were massive corruption.

Aaaaaaaand we're back. youtu.be/hybL-GJov7M

Our video on all the crimes that Trump has committed (so far) contained so many crimes it broke YouTube!!!! (I'm just kidding. People were complaining about the transition sound we used. So we're taking that out and re-uploading. Check back in 30 min)

This is a great lesson in why you don't make every argument you can. Even if this were true (I have my doubts), juxtaposing it against a serious charge comically undermines it. "The Defendant committed murder...and also his shoes are untied!"
