Absolute queen shit

lol she got his ass and he knows it

ran out of room

With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

the most impressive Democratic overperformance I've seen was in a special county commission election in Eaton County, Michigan, in a district that Trump won with 69% of the vote . . . and the Democrat is down just *10 votes*, 50.3-49.7%: results.enr.clarityelections.com/MI/Eaton/125...

I was struck just now by how much John Sauer sounds like a more annoying Charlie Day who desperately needs a lozenge

tacky prom decor

Democrats won Georgia’s statewide elections by landslide margins larger than any other Democratic victory for any statewide office since 1998. They even exceeded conservative Dem Zell Miller’s blowout win in the (nonpartisan) 2000 Senate race

more upsets: in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania (a 54% Trump and ancestrally Republican county), Democrats have likely won a county judicial race for the first time since at least World War II

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

Election Night bombshell. Literally no one saw this coming

THE GREAT PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF VIRGINIA HAVE VOTED FOR [TOS VIOLATION][TOS VIOLATION][TOS VIOLATION][TOS VIOLATION][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED]

A24 could never conjure a horror like this

...and less than 24 hours later Condé Nast has fired Lex and the rest of the Teen Vogue political desk, even as stories like this were bringing huge numbers of readers to the site

As a verrryyyyy late update to the August submission cycle, "Out-of-State Executives" is now forthcoming in the Wayne Law Review!

I actually love this person, low key. They force people to get clear.

had the audacity to leave a few tabs of Lexis pages up on my iPad for a few days, hoping to return to them, so naturally they can't be displayed

Looks like a good opportunity for those interested in writing about First Amendment law who are just starting out! Note the "three or fewer law-related journal articles" restriction--though the FAQ says this doesn't apply to "short pieces." reason.com/volokh/2025/...

Trump did on 60 Minutes what he does every time. He spews a blizzard of lies, exaggerations and assorted other falsehoods, and if (as usual) the reporter isn’t equipped or doesn’t bother to push back, he keeps going. Here is a detailed list, via @mehdirhasan.bsky.social zeteo.com/p/factchecki...

we are ruled by the foulest, most grotesque monsters

this sounds idiotic

you say that, but he’s proving that the Russian plan to immobilize the country by dropping large tires in grassy areas would be totally unworkable

Failure of journalism, ex. 18945. We don’t get to “and that is complete bullshit, says anyone not named Donald Trump or Karoline Leavitt” until the eighth graf.

I'll partly disagree: Johnson's term as Speaker would end the minute that the previous Congress does, so he wouldn't have any residual authority. Of course, if there were widespread challenges to the election of members, that would cause a different kind of chaos. This swearing-in context is unique.

It’s a beautiful country and I refuse to surrender it to these traitors

"wreak of anti-christian bigotry" theres that big yale brain

these people are LITERALLY ghouls; the file of exhibits for The Hague grows by the day

i’m continually struck by the joy zohran has brought to this election and the absolute venom with which it’s been met.

vile, disgusting racism from a vile, disgusting racist

ladies and gentlemen...we got him

Few people outside North Carolina have heard of Paul Newby, the chief justice of the state’s Supreme Court. But Newby has had a huge impact on America and his state. He’s done this with the goal of delivering what he’s called “biblical justice, equal justice, for all.” THREAD 👇

this is on the USDA website right now. these absolute fucking assholes.

Thanks to the invaluable @redistrictnet.bluesky.bot, @donnermaps.bsky.social has uploaded the Ohio redistricting commission’s new proposed congressional map to @davesredist.bsky.social Screenshot shaded to 2024 presidential results. davesredistricting.org/maps#viewmap...

okay so you say that you'd "love to hear your thoughts," so here are mine: this is embarrassing for you. it would be profoundly stupid for someone who has been indicted to talk about the indictment in public. any conscious lawyer would advise their client to give this kind of answer.

YES, LET'S FURTHER GREASE THE SKIDS FOR FASCISM

It's the most delicious time of the year: The Downballot's annual election prediction contest—aka the babka contest—is back! Enter to prove your prognostication prowess *and* for the chance to win amazing prizes from our sponsor, Green's Babka! Good luck, one and all!

Robert Byrd seemed to genuinely repent for his past and spent decades atoning for it, to the point where the NAACP mourned his death as the loss of a civil rights champion. People can indeed change. But there's no sign of a similar arc of sincere repentance and reckoning in Platner's case. /1

I’m sorry, if someone has a birth certificate that proves they were born here but a mobile app with face recognition software disagrees, they will side with the app? What?

I honestly don't think the NY Times has been this bad in my lifetime, it's deeply shameful.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

#SCOTUS denies a stay of execution to Alabama death-row prisoner Anthony Boyd, over *quite* a dissent from the three Democratic appointees, written by Justice Sotomayor, about the problems with nitrogen hypoxia as a method of execution: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

absolutely repulsive

Cuomo has went all in on the anti Arab and anti Muslim rhetoric and decided to laugh along to a "Mamdani would support 9/11" joke.

I find the LinkedInfluencer narratives about law, law school, and legal practice so fucking exhausting

We’ve updated our story with an additional comment provided by the United States Justice Department.

It seems *likely* that the Forward Party will be able to fill Thatcher’s seat, but Utah law is a little vague on this point. The law just refers to the “same political party as the prior representative.” But “same” as what? Their party at the time of vacancy? Their party when they were elected?
