Not too many details, but certainly one for @loweringthebar.bsky.social 's collection of non-traditional-conveyance DUIs: komonews.com/news/local/m...

1/ Denmark was reportedly preparing for full-scale war with the US over Greenland in January, with military support from France, Germany, and Nordic nations. Elite troops and F-35 jets with live ammunition were sent, and runways were to be blown up to prevent an invasion. ⬇️

If Harry Reid was still Senate Minority Leader instead of Chuck Schumer, he would've looked into stripping Fetterman of his committee assignments and endorsing a Conor Lamb primary challenge by now.

No idea what could explain Fetterman’s vote for this complete imbecile.

My favorite official-religious-text story is probably the time Louisiana legislators couldn’t agree on which Bible they should make official.

This again.

on the jim crow travesty that is the SAVE act (gift link)

There's a six page appendix listing out all of the many many times these lawyers appeared to rely on hallucinated citations. YIKES.

They ought to have a press conference at which they publicly mock this letter and set it on fire. “If you give us money we’ll stop being asshole criminals”? That’s not an offer, it’s a middle finger. “We’ll stop deporting US citizens”?!

This is my favorite opening paragraph in a long time. It fills me with hope.

Reporter: “If you could say something to Trump, what would it be?” PA voter: “You're a worthless pile of shit.” Reporter: “How many times did you vote for him?” PA voter: “Three times. That was my bad. Apparently I'm an idiot.”

These cost about $33.5 billion a year. Couldn’t afford it, GOP said. But the Iran war has already cost $12 billion in just one week. And it’s illegal. And a disaster. Really makes you want to oil up the old guillotine.

Had a hearing yesterday where the judge denied DHS’s motion to terminate our client’s asylum application and ship him to Ecuador or Honduras instead. “Your Honor, let the record reflect that Donald Trump can suck it” is something I wanted to say but didn’t.

All of these are policies they're already supposed to be following. So why would anyone believe they'll start following them in exchange for DHS funding. I mean, come on. The proper response to "We won't deport U.S. citizens if you fund DHS" is, "Are you fucking kidding me?"

Marriage between first cousins is still legal in Florida after bill fails to pass

Okay but what if Trump was personally criticizing you as an official act in his capacity as president?

So extended bombing doesn’t mean there’s a war and sending in troops isn’t an invasion. Ok. Hope the casualties won’t really be dead.

Everything about this is amazing. This arose out of the attorney's representation of Christ. (Alex Christ, in his divorce from Jessica) The inciting incident was - I shit you not - a courtesy copy opposing counsel had printed double-sided instead of single-sided, to save paper costs

Hey, I'm quoted today in Minho Kim's New York Times piece on what's in the Save America Act, which is being promoted for its voter-ID and citizenship-ID requirements but contains a bunch of less-scrutinized provisions as well. /1

In addition to being demented and incoherent, Trump is simply a petty bully, and appeals only to bullies or suck-ups to bullies.

Previous coverage of book-writing murderers:

However bad your day was, you weren’t assigned to a poop stakeout

Yet again. Don’t use it, and if you do use it, don’t trust it.

*emerging from a tank I have driven through your homes* ok which one of you assholes is going to clean up this mess.

Oh my God. What an absolute fiasco

What a paragraph. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

It is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre today. I'd say that even more than most years, it's important to remember what happened. And the role Hugh Thompson, an active serviceman, played in both stopping and publicising it. Despite enormous military, political and public pressure to stay quiet.

CONAN: “For the first time since 2012 no British people are nominated for Best actor or best Actress… a British spokesperson commented, ‘Yeah, well, at least we arrest our pedophiles.’" #Oscars

Soulless.

“I broke it now you fix it.”

So we’ve already defeated them, except that we haven’t; and “many countries” will be sending ships to help re-defeat them, or at least “hopefully” they will do that; and in the meantime we’ll murder everything that moves until everybody agrees we won. Thank you for your attention to this matter

Trump defense lawyer John Lauro faced unusually testy pushback from co-panelists & DOJ alums attending ABA conference. Lauro praised Trump DOJ for being in a "better place" now that Jack Smith isn't victimizing the president. "You're a clown," someone yelled. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/

So we are dominant even if we can’t make them do what we want, and they’ve surrendered even if they’re still fighting, and if they haven’t they will, even if they don’t. The price of gas hasn’t doubled, either, so don’t say it has.

Such appalling bullshit. I guess it will give people the opportunity to deface his portrait on a daily basis, though.

Oh, it’s open season on deranged scumbags, is it, Donald?

“The woman, who has asked NBC 7 to conceal her identity because of her immigration status, was adopted from Iran at the age of 3. She has lived in the U.S. for 53 years.” www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/s...

If the government really is worried about Iranian sleeper cells, then it was probably a mistake to systematically reorient the majority of US counterterror resources toward arresting immigrant grandmothers and five-year-olds in bunny hats

When my colleague David Bier at a Senate hearing yesterday defended his statement that DHS has promoted ethnic cleansing, some conservatives reacted with anger. But Stephen Miller's deportation plan does indeed fit the description of ethnic cleansing, argues Kyle Varner at @theunpopulist.net. /1

Instead of going to war with Iran, we could cover health care for millions of Americans. And still have $20 billion left over.

Trump’s penchant for gifting Cabinet members identical shoes might sound like a joke. But when they don’t fit and get worn anyway, it becomes a telling window into how loyalty and power operate in this White House.

4th Cir., 2-1, affirms a jury finding that the operators of the Abu Ghraib Prison in 2008 are liable for conspiracy to commit torture and conspiracy to commit cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment under the Alien Tort Statute. Damages awarded: $42 million. www.ca4.uscourts.gov/opinions/251...

Big Tech and Big Media donated some $63 million to a Trump-aligned nonprofit that was set up to help finance Trump's presidential library. Now the nonprofit has disappeared and with it the money. Three guesses on where it's gone. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Did the mistakes involve using AI? They sure did.

NEWS — Trump coercing staff to wear the same black pair of shoes that he wears. “Everybody’s afraid not to wear them,” a staffer said, as some reportedly ditch their own footwear to comply with Trump’s wishes. We’re officially in the dumbest timeline.
