Well gosh, were there any people aboard the destroyed speedboat?

I know of three people who have been investigated or charged with mortgage fraud based on claiming a second home is their primary residence. They are all women of color. I do not think women of color are disproportionate primary-residence affidavit forgers.

Very funny to me that they're charging Tyler Robinson wth obstruction of justice because he hid the gun he used to commit the murder. Like, I guess, maybe, but come on. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Murders will continue until fishing improves.

When we do bad things, the news cannot call us bad. Being mean to us is not free speech.

6-3: That's a gratuity.

Justice Kavanaugh’s Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo had the title for 12 days.

“It makes no more sense to try to bomb our way to victory in the War on Drugs than it does to do drone strikes on McDonalds to fight cardiovascular disease.” theworld.org/segments/202...

To recap, conservatives built an entire category of legal theory dedicated to the grammar-derived reading of precise text, only to take power and abandon written law altogether.

10/10, no notes

Hey, ooOOOOoo, is this illegal? Hey, ooOOOOoo, it feels illegal. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Anyone know if John Roberts thinks murder is a core Article II power?

We gave the power to take people's money to Congress, not to the President. Congress has not imposed this fee, and it has not empowered the President to do so. The E.O. is illegal.

Being mean to me is not free speech. You have to be at least 50% nice to me to get the First Amendment.

Murdering people is illegal with or without a letter from your C.O.

I would call this “consciousness of guilt” in an eventual domestic trial or international war crimes tribunal.

Draft Bill Would Authorize Trump to Continue Murdering People on Boats www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/u...

Look, I hate what is happening, but it would be undeniably hilarious if Brendan Carr posted a video of girls jumping on trampolines to his social media.

I thought we took that statue down on April 9, 2003.

I like the new D.C. Metro train cars, but how do I know when it's my stop?

Of course it was unconstitutional. The only interesting question is whether any court will ever be in a position to say so (cause of action, immunity, &c.). Just like with partisan gerrymandering, we should understand that public officials are violating their oaths even if a judge never says so.

Is there anyone near the Georgetown Law campus I can come say hi to after lunch before I roll out?

Wait, was it the government that made moderation decisions at Twitter?

DOJ lied in court so that Sec. Noem could dump plane-loads of children in another country.

Jeffries is a bad leader, but my least favorite part might be his constant use of “so-called.”

I spent my ’05 to ’09 debate career arguing mostly that the word “terrorism” is, at bottom, a tool the U.S. government uses to justify violently and often illegally killing people. That seems more true this week than ever before.

Starting at 8:30 EST, @immcouncil.org’s own @naynagupta.bsky.social will be testifying at a shadow hearing held by Congressional Democrats on the impact of Trump’s mass deportation policies. Check it out! www.youtube.com/live/m47GZMk...

I hope @qjurecic.bsky.social was tuned into NPR at 8 a.m. to hear @steveinskeep.bsky.social mark the anniversary of the effective date of the National Security Act of 1947.

issuing correction on a previous post of mine, regarding the political strategist Karl Rove.

Me lawyering: • “among other things” • “even assuming” • “claim preclusion” • “the thing speaks for itself” Me cooking: • “nappe” • “beurre monté” • “chiffonade” • “sauté”

I too have jokes about murdering people this week, but I have kept them to myself.

I think A.I. is enterprise-ready. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMJdPcwf/

My theory on the first nom. is: Too much money. In earlier contests, there was less money going around that could keep marginal candidates in the race, so the establishment would have unified behind someone much earlier. But five days before the network debates, there were still TWELVE people.

These jerks intentionally avoided infringing my designs!

I just stumbled into a TikTok account rebroadcasting old @katiebarlow.bsky.social videos, annotated as though the Supreme Court is handing down opinions in September. And like ... WHY?

Oh, I see what happened. It says “oath” to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,” but we heard “oaf.”

Excited for Jonathan Turley’s testimony that murder is not one of the “high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

Excited to learn whether this is vacuously true.

The thing about arrest quotas is that the important arrests — folks committing or organizing crimes — don't tell you where they are. So if you want to hit your numbers, you need lots of basically law-abiding people you can punish.

It is truly the golden age of legal creativity (derogatory).

I cannot overstate how much our president loathes the basic premises of the First Amendment. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTM1kFCwn/

Somewhat unbelievably, the investigation into the January 5, 2021 DNC pipe bomb investigation *does* remain ongoing. The FBI posted new video footage only 8 months ago (www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8xx...), and there is still a $500,000 reward for helpful information. www.fbi.gov/wanted/seeki...

A great jurist applying our bad laws to Trump’s heinous acts. No more exiles. Repeal 8 U.S.C. § 1231(b)(2)(E)(vii).

What makes the alleged misrepresentations "apparent"?

I am struggling to count the ways this is incoherent, let alone reprehensible. What does it mean to recognize an identity? Why is that clause in the passive voice?

Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Baba O'Riley was shot? TRUMP: I’m not familiar. The Who? Q: Yes.

“History informs us all to well that when threats to power become intense so does the grip of control. In such a climate, dissenters can be readily demonized[.] [T]he American Empire has constructed a new enemy: ... terrorism. Its practitioners are evil, the threat is global.” Oliverio (1997).

“IDK, dude. Just throw some legal jargon in there and let Sauer sort it out later.”

Either I am confused what a “cause of action” is or Comey’s attorneys are. There might be a judicially reviewable claim in here, but it is in a haystack.
