lolll i didn't realize Fetterman wrote a piece for Bari Weiss's One Stop Shop for Eugenics Enthusiasts and Polite Racists

James, quick q: what do you pay for healthcare? i feel like i subsidize your sweet rate for a gold ACA package, so....

Trvthnvke for the TradCath legal community

serious, not rhetorical, q: i know mass pardons happen, but even those have to identify specific people, right? or at least a more well defined class than this?

what...what does she think the "T" stands for?

you can rightly knock Dems for caving but honestly, if your position is "it would be great if the shutdown continued for a year! that would be a win every day!" I assume you are a toddler

i mean, i guess i'm not surprised that people stumping for Nazi McOysterboy figured this was a great time to pop their bigoted little heads up

it's not too late to delete this. also real cute to call a fucking nazi skull the dude kept on his body for 18 years and laughed about it with his buddies "some tattoo"

They only love her when she conforms to their exact body type preferences, have no problem harassing and demeaning her otherwise, and won’t support her actual work. Because MAGA doesn’t go to women-led movies

Like honestly cannot stress enough that things were so, so much worse for LGBTQ+ folks in the not-at-all-distant past. Progressive fucking demigod Paul Wellstone voted to enshrine a federal same-sex marriage ban into law less than 30 years ago! What are we doing here?

hmmmmm i wonder if that has anything to do with society and the government brutally suppressing it over that exact period of time

Jesus goddamn Christ.

because typically something based on "what if we all did cocaine while our relationships were falling apart and so we wrote songs about our relationships falling apart with the people we were falling apart from?" would be an unmitigated disaster but instead it's perfect

get you someone that loves you as much as westlaw loves logging you out if you glance away for a moment

We never ask what if the child has bad vibes? Or if they’re just unpleasant to be around?

One thing I have marveled at is the way that crowds have been disciplined in capturing immigration enforcement’s lack of discipline.

Now I’m just a simple country lawyer but it seems to me that if you use a predictive text generator to send people to prison you and everyone in your supervisory chain should get disbarred. www.sacbee.com/news/local/a...

big believer in a big tent movement to fight for public health, but folks, watch out for eric feïgl ding. he has a long — and i mean long — history of spreading health misinformation + latching onto causes for clout and personal profit.

The last thing a RethugliKKKan sees before he's redistricted out of a job

Yes the Roberts majority has destroyed SCOTUS’s legitimacy, yes Trump shoulda never gone to SCOTUS asking to starve people, but in the world we live in KBJ did the best she could to control the process and let CA1 put its reasoning on the record before her colleagues disregard it without explanation

Trying to figure out what #SCOTUS just did with #SNAP, and why Justice Jackson temporarily froze the district court's ruling? Via "One First," me on what's going on—and why I think Jackson's move was savvy, notwithstanding the awful circumstances that forced it: www.stevevladeck.com/p/190-snap-wtf

Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh spoke on this very stage at this same convention exactly one day ago. Interesting that they maintain such a strong connection to a group that applauds a Trump hatchet man who boasts of going to “war” against “rogue activist judges.”

Um, @variety.com? That’s…not what that means. 😳 variety.com/2025/music/n...

PERMANENT INJUNCTION, BABY

"this is your last time to dodge a block" I intone menacingly at the broken self-checkout kiosk in the JFK Terminal 4 Camden Foods Express

YOU ARE NOT BREAKING NEWS WHEN YOU JUST POST A NEW YORK TIMES PIECE. YES, EVEN IF YOU STRIP EVERYTHING FROM YOUR SKEET SHOWING IT IS JUST A TIMES ARTICLE YOU ARE SKEETING ABOUT

Oh, this is wild. DOJ went to SCOTUS *before* we got the First Circuit's administrative stay denial. (We know this because DOJ just filed a letter at SCOTUS about the admin stay denial.) So, DOJ went to SCOTUS b/c the First Circuit did not meet its less-than-seven-hour "deadline" for a ruling.

this is the kind of low-stakes dispute i want, rather than *waves at everything.* Wouldn't it be rad to be at the bar several drinks in, yelling about fair isle knitting, a thing you know nothing about, with another person several drinks in, who also knows nothing? a better world is possible.

AND HE WAS LIKE, BUT NOT MY FACE, RIGHT? AND I WAS LIKE WELL IT'S A FACE, SO

Law Profs teaching First Amendment: I have put together a FREE, recently updated, and easy to use casebook for use in free speech classes. If you are interested in using such a casebook, send me an email or DM and I would be happy to share!

"the cusp of the liftoff" do you hear yourself man job growth is the new infrastructure week

Bernie Sanders record of surrounding himself with people who then got gigs of their own by association only to turn out to be absolute disasters at it is only matched in public life by Bill Belichick

My latest newsletter: a review of Hüsker Dü's 1985: The Miracle Year, one of my favorite reissues of the year.

I don't mean this in a doomer-y fashion, but I literally have no idea what to do when the administration openly defies court orders.

This is also Snoop Dogg's preferred OJ for gin & juice.

I would drink the ever-loving fuck out of this. I start my day full of rage anyway, so why not have some juice that reflects my feelings?

Here's a brief note from @chrisgeidner.bsky.social at Law Dork on this: substack.com/@chrisgeidne...

Twin Cities, Do you want this working popcorn machine and cart? Passing on at no charge. It’s a fun addition to gatherings. Was always a hit at funeral home community events. Would love it to a new home within the month!

BREAKING: The Sixth Circuit, in a 10-7 en banc decision, holds that an Ohio school district's anti-bullying policy that requires students to use children's preferred pronouns is likely unconstitutional on these facts. Judge Murphy, a Trump appointee, writes the court's decision.

You should subscribe to Law Dork because Chris does not seem to sleep and is therefore the person who will break news like this horrifying 6th Circuit joint. In all seriousness, Law Dork is thoughtful, nuanced, and always reflects a deep love for the rule of law even as it is under fire everywhere

This doesn't just suck because it's an authoritarian move to stamp your personal style on the People's House. It sucks way more because Trump's taste is just legendarily awful. Like, awful for the ages.

i don’t mind being courageous in the face of adversity but i would like there to be less adversity at some point

How do you properly do a post-mortem with a bunch of Minnesotans who won't just say the things so we can fix them? Maybe we need to have politics of joy and post-mortems of agony.

To me, it is bad and not good for the leader of the WNBA player's association to join a league as a part owner that is backed by Saudi Arabia.

whoever chose the colours for this graph needs to be arrested immediately

just saw that Duluth's right to repair ballot measure absolutely crushed it and hell yeah
