Now do Trump.

I like to joke, but this is actually a very helpful thread, especially if you are new to law firm or office life. 🧵

Look, as the resident fifth circuit guy here, it is not surprising that Judge Smith wrote a … vigorous …. dissent — after all, he wrote the “good ship fifth circuit is afire” dissent (where he was right) — but this is another level.

I don’t know Judge Brown, but I know he is both respected and conservative. This is nuts.

This dissent is an embarrassment.

So here’s what apparently happened: they tried to indict Comey on the last day of the statute with a three-count indictment. The grand jury rejected one. Rather than cross it out or indicate on the indictment that only two of the three counts were voted upon, Halligan creates…/1

NEW: After fighting to keep emails between Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s office and billionaire Elon Musk’s companies secret, officials have released nearly 1,400 pages of documents to The Texas Newsroom. All but about 200 pages are blacked out.

Good to see Time paying tribute to the two major religions in America

For no reason, ranking the songs on Billy Joel's An Innocent Man Decent: 10. This Night 9. Christie Lee 8. Easy Money 7. Careless Talk Great: 6. The Longest Time 5. Leave a Tender Moment Alone 4. Tell Her About It 3. An Innocent Man Absolutely Iconic: 2. Uptown Girl 1. Keeping the Faith

Only 7% of Republicans. It’s a personality cult now.

Donald Trump and Greg Abbott played with fire, got burned — and democracy won. This ruling is a win for Texas and for every American who fights for free and fair elections.

If Trump had the slightest interest in disclosure, he would have told AG Pam Bondi to release them immediately. Today, he covered for himself. Tomorrow, the focus will turn to the Senate. We are still a long way from seeing those secreted files, but today was a big step forward.

The way almost every Republican flipped their vote on the Epstein files once Trump said it was ok is so pathetic.

Spoiler alert: SCOTUS will bail out Trump.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

Just imagine if Joe or Kamala or . . . Oh forget it, it doesn’t matter.

Let’s check in on how Fox News is reporting on Trump’s reversal on the Epstein files.

We can encourage the spat between Trump and MTG without supporting her. It’s not hard.

Trump’s steep tariff taxes are spiking costs for American families on everything from groceries to baby supplies.

Uh . . . ok.

Our press is just not equipped to deal with these people brazenly lying to their faces, when everybody knows they’re lying. There’s an old clip of Barbara Walters interviewing Trump where he tells some obvious fabrication and she just immediately jumps in with “no you didn’t.” We need more of that.

The difference between the sociopathic and non-sociopathic takes is really quite stark

<record scratch> You may be wondering how I got here. It all started with the first black president.

Cool to see Simon and Garfunkel together after all these years

My 16yo's debate team is at our house tonight, cracking debate jokes. It's getting pretty rowdy.

If you have to get permission to teach in your area of expertise from people who are definitionally not qualified to adjudicate your expertise then you are no longer working at a university. You’re working at a state propaganda factory.

Typical Monday at my alma mater

BigLaw has too long focused on client service over profits. Time for that to change.

Discovering your mom was young and cool once (honestly, she was always cool)

For all who celebrate

Meanwhile on Fox News.

Tonight we remember our dear friend and bandleader Cleto 💙

Any Democrat saying these things today is going to be labeled a socialist.

I need one, right?

Short version: Trump: I'm dismantling the Constitution, building a paramilitary fascist army loyal only to me, blowing up the US economy for my billionaire cronies, and destroying the planet. Schumer: Okay, but you have to extend subsidies for corporate health care Trump: No Schumer: Okay

America doesn’t have an affordability problem so much as it has an inequality problem. Higher income people like me are doing just fine. The bottom half are really struggling.

Thank you, veterans. #VeteransDay

Finally some good news.

Wait do I have it correct that Joyce Carol Oates said Musk was a shell of a man with no joy in his life and he totally saw it and said "No I'm not" and now he's searching the titles of different movies he likes and replying "great movie"

The "centrist" pundits are constantly preaching that Democrats need to focus on "kitchen table" issues and stay away from "woke" identity politics etc. Then the centrist Democrats sell out the base on their most basic "bread and butter" issue, healthcare. Time for an intra-party revolt.
