Remember last year, when only Russia said stuff like this?

Sorry, they scheduled birthright citizenship oral arguments for April 1st?

The lawyers forgot how to lawyer but it is ICE’s fault.

Super weird that everybody but Congress knows what “the war” refers to.

Anyone else hear Ukraine updates on NPR from Joanna Kakissis (@joannakakissis.bsky.social) and immediately start singing 🎶 ka- ka- ka- kiss me thru the phone 🎶?

I have thought about this article once a month for 13 years.

When you start writing an introduction and then just ... give up.

This lawsuit was filed in 2018, and we now know the legal standard.

We should make a cabinet position dedicated to diplomacy and stuff. Can't believe nobody thought of that before.

Gonna chime in here because it's an interesting convo but also because I have to call bullshit. I'm not readjusting my instincts in WOTC. Instead, the BPD depicted and extant in the years of The Wire had in fact imploded. Perhaps the best analogy to the fictional world of The Wire is this....

It's all fun and good government until John Roberts decides that having your employees bet on wars is part of the Executive Power.

If the company line was going to be “we didn't impersonate you,” then they should have canceled the interview. Nilay makes Mehotra look spectacularly foolish, especially with the previous question that caused Mehotra to visibly transition to reading a prepared statement.

Incredible to see the Senate grind to a halt on a widely supported bill because unanimous consent is unavailable. youtube.com/watch?v=L36Y...

Making the Strait of Hormuz safe for energy shipments would be a remarkable accomplishment, one that the world has never seen since the beginning of the month.

Nobody is asking whether we *can* do it, Senator. We *can* end life on this planet in nuclear winter. The debate is over whether we *should*.

The battle for Iwo Jima resulted in over 26,000 US casualties, making it one of the bloodiest Marine actions in history.

If I have this right, it's a short military expedition that never required a declaration of war and yet our $1 trillion military ran out of money?

I am HOWLING!

This happened at least three times in quick succession — a white man telling a qualified woman of color that she does not understand basic economics.

my god it is real

My son Gralexander went to Geno’s Steaks and ordered a grilled cheese.

I did not expect to live in the golden age of political cartoons.

I wish that the United States pursued literally any worthwhile goal with the diligence and zeal that it has been trying to depot Abrego Garcia to somewhere other than Costa Rica.

Again I ask: At what point does an ICE arrest just statistically lack *probable* cause?

I wrote a lot about Bob Mueller across a lot of chapters of his career. I wanted to share two @wired.com pieces that I wrote about his defining life experiences—both a picture of an era of public service all but lost today: 1) His brave *voluntary* service in Vietnam: www.wired.com/story/robert...

Gonna soothe my intermittent antisocial loneliness by reminding myself that I've never set records for unpopularity.

A fun turn from impliedly threatening us with ICE to explicitly threatening us with ICE.

LET HIM GO TO COSTA RICA, YOU ANIMALS

Pete Hegseth would not know divine purpose if it appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Hegseth Invokes Divine Purpose to Justify Military Might www.nytimes.com/2026/03/20/u...

It is not every day that somebody files a tort claim squarely rejected by the Restatement of Torts.

In many ways, we already won. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03...

This is a system failing at justice and succeeding at racial violence.

I propose a fact witness:

Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Windows Key + L

This counts as a SPAC story, @annmlipton.bsky.social @chancethelawyer.bsky.social .

100 years without Bari Weiss; 5 months with her.

DOCTOR ON CLOSING GAPING WOUND: AT A CERTAIN POINT IT'LL CLOSE ITSELF

CFPB: 0%

Citizenship is a status that the government assigns to people, not a nutrient passed through the placenta. He invented “transmission,” as though it were a law of nature, to justify rendering innocent babies stateless. That was his choice.

I have watched this happen way too many times this year: a judge directs a DHS agency to bring in somebody to answer questions; DOJ brings somebody who does not know the answers; and lawyers are reduced to pulling teeth from an empty mouth.

Great news for liberty, rough news for “nor.”

I keep telling my wife this, and yet I still wind up shoveling the driveway.

I have an insurance coverage joke, but it's excess above all these other jokes.

Royer Perez-Jimenez, 19, is believed to be the youngest person who has died in ICE custody during the second Trump administration: people.com/19-year-old-...

Just a tiny thing apropos of the Afroman trial: Lawyers have no power to direct the court reporter to strike something they said. If you asked the wrong question, say so. It is not effective to say "strike that."

This absolutely rules, and the people trying to take it away from me are wrong.

I'm a pretty savvy consumer of legal and military news, and I do not know what our clear objectives are.

44% want fewer people to vote; 45% want more people to vote; and 11% are undecided. All respondents happily participated in the poll even though Berkeley did not require I.D. to respond.
