Really showing they DGAF about the rule of law.

Who thinks this ends with other countries?

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

if i had the opportunity to ask a question of anyone in the administration, given this "war in chicago" messaging, i would ask them how many americans the president intends to kill in his war

This is a sobering--and depressing statistic. Sizable layoffs in the federal government are likely contributing to the increase in unemployment among Black college graduates. www.wsj.com/economy/jobs...

Pure fucking evil. Everyone involved in this shit needs to be held accountable.

anyway I stand by this bsky.app/profile/audr...

ok this is...absurd I mean we knew that he would continue working in Trump's interest on the bench but literally continuing to work for Trump post-confirmation is ???? I know it's kinda trite at this point to acknowledge the hypocrisy but MAN can you imagine if, say, Dale Ho kept doing ACLU work?

Justice Jackson is basically reporting live from inside a garbage fire www.ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/nih-c...

Nobody spends $200M on a ball room they plan to give up the use of

cash assistance, housing first, permanent supportive housing everything about homelessness is a choice. we know what works.

If you are not a lawyer, here is a simple test to understand these cases. In fact, I think it is more useful than a lot of the analyses of constitutional lawyers. *Is SCOTUS letting Trump do what he wants to do?* The answer has been consistently yes, even when Trump's actions are clearly unlawful.

The @debtcollectionlab.bsky.social has so many excellent reports on our website. Check out the newest one by @barakrichman.bsky.social and team debtcollectionlab.org/research/ #debtcollection #lawsuits

The CFPB used to provide homebuyers a helpful tool for exploring current interest rates in their states. But under the "leadership" of Project 2025 architect Russ Vought, the agency hasn't updated the interest rate data since April... #StopVought www.consumerfinance.gov/owning-a-hom...

This is to me is about building a positive vision of AI that supports what it means to be human. AI should optimize for the needs of the user - not ask the user to believe it has needs itself. Its reward system should be built accordingly. 7/

Only one this year but it was delicious!! Passionfruit is looking good and so are guavas, just have to keep them from the squirrels!

A terrorist targeted federal workers last week. There wasn’t much reporting on it. But I’m not finished thinking about it! 🧵 An anti-vaxxer fired more than 500 gunshots into CDC Atlanta, shattering 150 “blast-proof” windows on 6 buildings. Employees were pinned down in terror.

I don't know why UCLA would even consider this, *especially* in light of yesterday's EO directing more control of federal grants by political appointees

I feel like every single day I need to post a reminder: if you ask an LLM about itself it DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ITS INNER WORKINGS and WILL NOT TELL YOU ANYTHING ACTUALLY ABOUT ITSELF. It just (as it always does) will make up some plausible sounding answer.

The Govt. Accountability Office issued a report today finding that the Trump admin has violated a law blocking presidents from withholding funding Congress has approved @mmolteni.bsky.social & I break it down: www.statnews.com/2025/08/05/g...

My contribution to this fantastic @brooklynlawschool.bsky.social symposium is here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers..... It's both too long (for the symposium) and too short (much more to say), but I think just the beginning.

UGA School of Law is hiring professors! Open rank search, 4-5 positions. Priorities: torts, contracts, property, environmental, bankruptcy, secured transactions. Other: international, banking, business, administrative, employment. Teaching in more than one listed discipline especially helpful. (1/2)

This is such a fantastic read y'all. Accessible, chock-full of data and important stories, and dare I say it, GRIPPING :) No but seriously go out and get it.

This should be viewed as a policy to reduce the number of visa holders living in the United States.

If you visit DC this summer, beware: The city manipulates traffic signs and cameras to take your money. Example: This is Massachusetts Ave. NW, which runs from Maryland into DC. Months ago, the Maryland side lowered its speed limit. It posted big orange signs to alert drivers. (1/6)

By a 6-3 vote, SCOTUS lets Trump fire the Dem members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, who are protected against removal by statute. Dissenting, Kagan says the majority is undertaking a “permanent transfer of authority” from Congress to the president. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

THIS

Another day, another shadow docket decision where SCOTUS overrules Congress, precedent and the law to allow Trump to continue to pick apart the federal government. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/when-youre...

Any deal made by DOJ with Ghislaine Maxwell is an admission that Donald Trump is guilty, and only the most blind and deluded cultists will view it any differently.

Let that sink in for a sec.

Operation "Do Anything Except Release the Epstein Files" continues apace

Which expert witnesses get paid the most, and who do they work for? Adam Callister and @agranato42.bsky.social (@yalesom.bsky.social) and Belisa Pang (@umichlaw.bsky.social) join @busscholarship.bsky.social to discuss their article "Expert Asymmetry: Evidence from Securities Litigation." 1/2

You can read all the retrospectives about Epstein running now. But to really understand the case, go right to the @jkbjournalist.bsky.social series in the @miamiherald.com that ran 7 years ago (and for completely inexplicable reasons, never won a Pulitzer). www.miamiherald.com/news/local/a...

ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

If it has ever been clearer that teachers and universities are simply an impediment to these companies seeking to make students a captive population and then making trillions off those students it’s here

It's a nightmare.

Attorney General Pam Bondi had nearly a decade to prosecute disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein during her tenure as Florida Attorney General between 2011 and 2019, but ultimately didn't, a law professor told USA Today Saturday.

There’s money for ICE There’s money for concentration camps There’s money for tax cuts for the wealthy Yet there’s no money for healthcare, housing, food assistance, social support, or public broadcasting. There’s no money to help the sick, homeless & starving Suffering is a political choice

The contempt they have for the lives of Black people on full display here.

I expect nothing less from the current FDA leadershi. This article makes sweeping claims about mRNA vaccine-associated myocarditis with cherry-picked data, over-interpretation, and a conspicuously anti-vaccine tilt masquerading as “balanced regulatory caution"🙄. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Relative to a white driver traveling the same speed, minorities are 24 -33% more likely to be stopped for speeding and to pay 23-34% more in fines. Research by Pradhi Aggarwal, Alec Brandon, Ariel Goldszmidt, Justin Holz, John A. List, Ian Muir, Gregory Sun, and Thomas Yu. ow.ly/hVgO50Qxk7t

"but defunding public media will devastate rural communities the worst." That's entirely the point. They want to eliminate any and all media that contradicts the authoritarian narrative. They want a loyal captive base that doesn't question anything and this accomplishes that.

Warren: "Powell himself said he would've lowered interest rates in February but for the fact of Trump's tariff chaos. So that means that if you have credit cards, car loans, you've been paying more for 6 months now because of one human being -- Donald Trump, and the chaos he causes."

Very sad. Emil Bove is only as close to getting a lifetime judicial appointment because the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has been slow-walking a contempt of court charge. It’s clear that Bove is behind the moving of Venezuelan men to El Salvador. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

Democrats just need to never let this go. Every single time they say his name: “Donald Trump, who was a client of Jeffrey Epstein…”

What a dumb time to be alive
