Parody of America to have the president live-tweeting misinformation about a mass shooting

What a world we live in that while extracting the Nobel Peace Prize winner from a despotic Venezuela her team were legitimately concerned the US would accidentally bomb them. www.wsj.com/world/americ...

FTC's Gabe Roth has filed a complaint against CA3 Judge Emil Bove for attending last night's Trump rally in Pa., since refraining from political activity — & from the start, this was clearly a political rally — is a foundational part of judges' Code of Conduct: fixthecourt.com/wp-content/u....

Reporting goals, right here.

Amicus brief from the Cato Institute, Dale Carpenter and Eugene Volokh urges full Fifth Circuit to affirm panel ruling that president of West Texas A&M violated the First Amendment when he ordered a drag show canceled, citing the show's purportedly "objectionable message." @cato.org

huge W for heidegger and the existentialists, honestly

Quibbling over the semantics of the second tap also runs the risk of suggesting that the first tap was something other than murder.

Don’t. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.

A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.” It’s almost as if there were signs!

The cruelty is the point and they don't take a break from it even during Thanksgiving and the holidays.

This is who the Washington Post capitulated to. Khashoggi dies in darkness.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

this has really gotten buried, but the president called a reporter "piggy" for asking a question about Epstein files people.com/donald-trump...

The U.S. intelligence community concluded Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman approved the killing and dismemberment of a Post columnist, making President Trump's formal dinner for the prince on Tuesday a dramatic step in public rehabilitation. https://wapo.st/3LOwEFn

Given what we’ve seen on America’s streets, it’s worth repeating what the court says here: Needlessly pointing a firearm at someone can violate the Fourth Amendment, even if the officer never pulls the trigger.

People who make primary source documents easily accessible to the public are the best Thank you @paulgp.com

The Supreme Court had three religious freedom cases last Term. With @richschragger.bsky.social and @nelsontebbe.bsky.social, our latest comments on them, extending our analysis of religious preferentialism under the First Amendment. harvardlawreview.org/print/vol-13...

Over the last 10 months, the federal government has cracked down on political expression with a persistence and viciousness reminiscent of some of the darkest periods of U.S. history. Welcome to the Third Red Scare.

Not to be corny but i am deeply moved watching a bunch of people from all over the world, who speak different languages and live different lives, do a thing together

NCGOP spokesman appears to be threatening @propublica.org's @dougbockclark.bsky.social with retaliation by the Trump administration for reporting on a state Supreme Court justice www.propublica.org/article/paul...

After the FBI denied "children were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets" in a raid in Wilder, Idaho, the FBI said no "young" children were. The updated statement came after KIVI-TV sent FBI photo reportedly showing 14-year-old U.S. citizen in zip ties.

Please tell me a First Amendment lawyer is willing to step up here and defend this woman.

Everything about this is bonkers. The arrest, the charge, the possible sentence, the **$2 million bail.** reason.com/2025/10/10/t...

Incitement to violence is not protected free speech but the president has no authority to unilaterally decide that all or even most instances of flag burning constitute incitement. That would also be defying binding precedent, which is what it sounds like they intend to do.

"We took freedom of speech away" should be in every campaign ad moving forward.

SORTOR: I took this flag from the man that was burning it in the street TRUMP: Do you know who he is? SORTOR: Oh yeah TRUMP: So why don't you give it to Pam. Give it to the attorney general and we'll start prosecutions

New from me at The Dispatch: DHS says it's illegal to videotape ICE agents. That's not what the courts say. @thedispatchmedia.bsky.social

Got a tip recently about how Trump's tariffs are preventing libraries from sharing books, and causing their loaned books to get stuck or lost in other countries: www.404media.co/libraries-ca...

from a purely economic standpoint, thats a 46% return on investment. literally wasting money by not doing it!!!

FBI Director Kash Patel reportedly fired an agent trainee on Wednesday for displaying a pride flag on his desk while working in a field office in California last year.

🧵 In 2025, book censorship in the United States is rampant and common. Never before in the life of any living American have so many books been systematically removed from school libraries across the country.

As @genevievelakier.bsky.social notes, this scheme is squarely unconstitutional under existing cases. There's some tricky nuance in the doctrine, but the thrust is that the government may not condition receipt of federal funds on ideological agreement with the government (or on refusing to speak).

The Saudi government murdered Jamal Khashoggi seven years ago today. His editor @karenattiah.bsky.social wrote this two years ago.
