Laypeople, keep asking legal questions of ChatGPT. Don't worry that your chat logs are discoverable!

Gooooood god. I'm not familiar with the underlying defamation allegations, but if you ever get this settlement offer, you take it and run (and then maybe hide in a hole for the rest of your life). Also, lol to anyone who said Ai would make lawyers unnecessary.

Nilay might be the best podcaster in the game. One of the few who is willing to ask the same question repeatedly when he's getting BS answers. My guess is he's taken a few depositions in his day. Masterful.

He died doing what he loved.

Big news for Marcus Aurelius.

Ending the Iran war is easy: Trump just needs to withdraw, apologize, and admit that he made a mistake because he didn't fully understand the situation. Oh god.

If he just renames it the "Strait of America", boom problem solved: no more blocked Strait of Hormuz.

Have we come up with a name for the policy of transferring immigrants to places they have zero connection to, don’t speak the language, and are often active war zones? I’d vote for “concentration flights.”

A lot of people need to go to jail if we have any hope of going back to the status quo ante.

When Iran retaliates (or Venezuela or North Korea or, frankly at this point, Canada, Mexico, or the EU) against us by nuking DC, in that half second between the blinding flash and total molecular disintegration, I’m going to be SO smug.

and Nixon (Watergate)!

Feeling pretty good about my decision to put solar on my roof and get an electric car.

It’s cool that this generation gets to find out the answer to “what would you have done when we started interning the Japanese?” and “what would you have done when we invaded Vietnam?” and “what would you have done in Watergate?” all at the same time.

Let me tell you, you haven't lived until you've litigated against a pro se plaintiff who refuses to get a lawyer and only corresponds via overlong chatGPT-drafted missives which often include devastating admissions.

The president is entirely right. The Court took too long and the failure to provide a clear remedy is absurd.

I'd estimate that import businesses probably have until close of business to import as much as they possibly can before Trump imposes more illegal tariffs.

The first part is definitely true; refunds will probably be a mess. But did the US actually make any real, actually-papered and ratified trade deals? I remember a bunch of words but I don't recall anything solid.

I'm a law guy, not a politics knower, but "Trump illegally taxed/stole $175 billion from Americans" seems like good messaging.

Shorter CJR: Brett, you ignorant slut!

HUGE open questions about what happens to the billions already collected and whether Trump will try an end run around the opinion (like calling all the tariffs "licenses") or under another statute.

Well look at that, SCOTUS finally agrees that the monstrously illegal tariffs are, in fact, illegal.

This is made more complicated by the fact that this is a JAG lawyer standing in for the DOJ (because most of the AUSAs quit). He was ordered to be a SAUSA, which means saying "I won't do this anymore" is a direct refusal to obey an order, which can trigger a court-martial or other discipline.

"Replace one word of this title with [thing]" is the Cards Against Humanity of posting. (extreme pejorative)

What, they are supposed to identify a crime in the indictment EVERYTIME?

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.
