i said last year that these people were segregationists and that “merit” just meant “white and male” to these people

The New York Times really needs to get it together. This is disgraceful reporting, and they’ve been doing it for years now in this area. They’ve been breaking journalistic integrity over and over, refusing to issue corrections. (1/2) cloud.e.ama-assn.org/newsletter?u...

Don't often see DOJ attorneys so expressly throwing another agency under the bus. They say every brief was sent to and approved by ICE counsel and the error "appears to have occurred because of agency attorney error." I wouldn't be surprised if the court will want to put someone from ICE under oath

According to documents filed this morning by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY, ICE has been lying for a year — not only to the public, but to the courts and to prosecutors — about being authorized to make arrests at 26 Federal Plaza and other immigration courts. (1/2)

This is a standard tactic for them at this point.

What a headline

This is basically “what’s the biological definition of sex” but for “Election Day.”

And therefore I will support it if you give a special exemption for Alaska.

Good riddance.

can this be a solution?

Each paragraph about the replacement is more alarming than the one preceding it. 1. Rogers is a relative newcomer to government office, having previously worked in private legal practice, where she represented the National Rifle Association and other right-wing organizations..

The New York Times published an extraordinary study of the role of billionaires in politics earlier this week, that naturally got lost in everything that is going on, including in Iran. Here is a gift link to the article, and a few select quotes: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/u...

JFK’s grandson Jack Schlossberg, one of the leading primary contenders for New York’s dark blue 12th Congressional District, tweeted in December 2024 that he opposed D.C. statehood. D.C. voted 85% for statehood in a 2016 referendum. House Dems passed it unanimously in 2021 x.com/JBKSchlossbe...

At 1:30 Central/2:30 Eastern, my colleague @harperseldin.bsky.social will be in state court in Kansas asking a judge to block the new law that invalidated the driver's licenses of trans people across the state. You can tune into the hearing here

Has anyone else pointed out that Mel on the Pitt and Ted on Schitt’s Creek are basically twins—especially when they tell jokes?

This SCOVA decision allowing the districting referendum seems to forecast pretty strongly that the court will ultimately invalidate the redirecting if it passes. www.democracydocket.com/wp-content/u...

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred Gov DeSantis from designating CAIR as a terrorist organization and punish those who associate with the group. “Once again, Florida chooses political posturing over the First Amendment,” Judge Walker writes. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

1.Internal emails from Liberty University Law School, obtained by Popular Information, reveal how the Trump admin hires interns. Students were informed about "exciting" legal internships at Labor Department. “You MUST be aligned politically with President Trump… GPA is not a strong factor.”

Even putting aside the implications for the laws of war, someone who describes mass killing in this way is not well, nor is the society that empowers that person to kill.

Oof. The facts of this case. bsky.app/profile/gabr...

10th Cir.: it was clearly established law that public school district could not sex-segregate male and female fifth-graders based on outdated stereotypes. Says the school's separate-but-equal argument would put them on the wrong side of Brown v. Board. 😱 www.ca10.uscourts.gov/sites/ca10/f...

Truly pathetic.

Very stable genius strikes again.

'UNIMAGINABLE CRUELTY': Judge Gary Brown, a Trump appointeee from NY, thrashes DHS' treatment of a man who came to the US at 9 as an abuse/neglect victim, has no criminal record and became a college grad. "The laws of decency condemn such villainy." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Contrast this with Justice Alito’s dissent in AARP arguing that the habeas petitioners should have waited longer for the district court to rule on their emergency motions.

Scenes from a personalist regime

Would genuinely like to hear SCOTUS’s explanation for why parents in Mirabelli who do not have non-hypothetical kids whose gender identity is currently being concealed have standing for injunctive relief under Clapper.

Wait there’s more! The Court has had a bunch of chances to consider this exact issue “the regular way“, via a full merits case, Kagan writes. But it chooses to weigh in prematurely via the shadow docket on a subtle and super controversial question.

Kagan: “A mere decade ago, this Court would never have granted relief in this posture. (Indeed, I am confident that the plaintiffs would never have thought to ask, at this stage, for the Court’s involvement.)” www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

This is an issue the court has repeatedly declined to grant cert on and on which every court of appeals has come out the other way. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
