Why is Anduril advertising in the B1G 10 men’s soccer playoffs? Well, it turns out they’re the official sponsor of Ohio State athletics. This is the defense contractor founded by Palmer Luckey, inventor of the Oculus headset and brother-in-law of Matt Gaetz www.anduril.com/article/andu...

It's not just bribery. He's now using personal litigation, backed by state extortion, to extract "settlements" which he then puts into an account he created to spend on government work, all entirely outside of Congress taxing or appropriating. It's full Charles I illegal taxation and spending.

Same as it ever was.

The US wine industry today employs more people than coal did at its peak a century ago

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

A horrifying case of censorship by @ualberta.bsky.social against a law prof commenting on Kirk's death. University failed to explain or justify why Ashley was removed from class. Explanation (& apology) needed from the uni, & protection for faculty & academic freedom. @caut.bsky.social fyi

First time this guy has ever made me laugh

Somebody send him a video that says he'll cement his legacy as the greatest president of all time if he passes a law that makes the volume stay around the same level when the show goes to commercials.

ICYMI: My SCOTUS term preview in the Guardian. It focuses on the Voting Rights Act case - and how that case illustrates the long-running campaign against Reconstruction & civil rights that appears in much of what SCOTUS & POTUS do. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Two years too long.

Side note: If you haven't seen this excellent Nina Paley video, I recommend it.

The video I filmed of an ICE agent shoving a woman to the ground at 26 Federal Plaza, a New York City immigration courthouse, went viral. Then, in a rare move, the government publicly reprimanded the officer, calling his actions “unacceptable.” By @tilleckert.com

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

A grotesquery of false equivalence. Trump officials should/will be prosecuted because of their crimes, not because Trump established the precedent of prosecuting people because of their politics. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/u...

79. American citizen.

Justice Kavanaugh: “If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”

More importantly, Trump, the leader of the most powerful country in the world who is being given more authority every day, believed this existed.

Justice Anthony Kennedy tells @npr.org's @ninatotenberg.bsky.social "very worried" about our country, and that "Democracy is not guaranteed to survive." Kennedy wrote Citizens United and was the fifth vote in the rest of the Roberts Court's anti-democratic decisions. www.npr.org/2025/09/27/n...

The best way to understand the epstein nightmare is the story of Katie Johnson and how Epstein would use and condition his victims to take care of preferred clients. Epstein kept Trump's 4x preferred girl an 18 minute walk from Trump Tower Manhattan, New York www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk5i...

No lies detected.

As in Serbia, the autocrat's goal is to bolster his failing regime by goading protestors into violence.

This endorsement gives me so much hope.

It looks like Trump's hand picked Supreme Court isn't going to stop him from rescinding money that Congress already agreed to use. How can Democrats agree to a Republican budget that lets Trump delete the parts of it he doesn't like?

War-ravaged Portland

Troops. In an American city. Using full force. Your now-regular reminder that Republican members of Congress are letting this happen.

There is no measured way to say what I am about to say. If the Supreme Court agrees with the Trump administration to end birthright citizenship, we must end this current Supreme Court. I do not say this lightly.

It’s hard to convey the insanity of a thirty-something White House staffer getting an interim US Attorney appointment and marching into the grand jury room alone four days later to indict the former Deputy Attorney General and Director of the FBI

What we might refer to as a "Kavanaugh Stop"

Truly appalling. No academic freedom for professors and no personal freedom for people to live the way they wish and define themselves as they choose.

DOJ has sued 8 states for protecting their citizens' sensitive voter registration data. My law firm has intervened to oppose DOJ's efforts in the first two states -- Maine and Oregon. Six more to go...

“This appointment is a flashing red light …. The board members who appointed this phony historian clearly care more about pushing a political agenda than teaching millions of Texas kids the truth in our public schools.”
