When two AIs argue against each other, the legal system loses.

JUST IN: Judge Mary McElroy (Trump/RI) refers DOJ attorneys to the court discipline committee over handling of fight over trans medical care subpoenas to RI Hospital. Earlier she agreed that presumption of regularity for govt 'no longer holds.' storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

just open contempt for the united states as a pluralist and secular democracy. and a reminder that the function of the fiction that the united states was founded as a fundamentalist christian nation is to establish a hierarchy of human worth with white christians at the top

yeah man, we’re all just dummies who don’t understand that you’re just judicial monks operating in a sphere of pure law [puts finger to ear] what’s this, clarence thomas gave another speech blaming progressives for hitler?

trump and hegseth are presiding over one of the great Ls in american military history.

If America is so racist, then how come a wealthy white man has been lavishing me with gifts ever since his company started having cases before the Supreme Court, on which I sit? by Clarence Thomas

Reupping my unpopular opinion that we need to completely revamp the teaching of 🇺🇸 history in K-12 education, such that every course begins with the failure of Reconstruction & works forwards & backwards from there to explain everything else.

This is not the time for wild speculation about what happened. It’s time to bet on Kalshi about what happened

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia— AOC: Wah wah wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

The President calls every black person he doesn’t like “low IQ” and the media believes it absolutely critical we draw no conclusions from that

the funny thing about sending jd vance out to do sensitive diplomatic negotiations is he has literally no experience. like, none whatsoever. he doesn't even have related experience in lawmaking or some executive role.

25th amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. We cannot leave this man in charge of America’s nuclear weapons as he threatens to end an entire civilization. And Congress must not fund this reckless administration.

I think the odds that Iran becomes a true domestic political crisis are seriously underrated. It’s a trap with no road out, we’re going to see massive compounding economic damage as it drags on, and the admin’s only tools involve committing spectacular crimes and/or feeding soldiers into a blender

This isn’t journalism. This is creative writing by fascist sycophants.

Orwellian ass govt

you don’t have to know much world history to look at this map and immediately see why the entire western hemisphere has birthright citizenship

It’s not a joke. It’s a clear and frequently reinforced signal to the armed services that if you break regulations or laws you will be exonerated as long as your actions show fealty to Trump/MAGA.

adam says it much more succintly. the american right will happily impoverish the united states and make it an oversized backwater if it means they can dominate women and minorities and play act as a master class

That's right

I know I’m a broken record on this but: A handful of law profs are engaging in an effort to convince the Supreme Court to accept a reactionary administration’s effort to redefine American citizenship and render countless children stateless.

This should be an impeachable offense. I understand that we’re way past any of that, but that shouldn’t stop us from naming it.

Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

1. Yesterday, the NYT dropped a bombshell: Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) has been aggressively lobbying Trump not to end the fighting and pushing him to launch a ground operation. Why would Trump listen? Follow the money.

So they are not, in fact, really good people

The Supreme Court summarily has summarily reversed the Second Circuit in a Fourth Amendment excessive force case, Zorn v. Linton, with the three liberal Justices dissenting. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

What a remarkable time in legal history.

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese says torture 'has effectively become state policy' in Israel https://aje.news/ggypil

"What kind of TSA PreCheck Member are you"

Trump: I’m going to put ICE in the airports, where they will target and arrest all the illegals, especially Somalis, because I hate the Democrats Headlines: Trump puts ICE officers in airports to ease long lines, provide relief for weary travelers

This is an excellent summary of the US War on Iran current situation. I’m an existentialist and borderline absurdist and even I struggle with the current moment. This summary is just fantastic.

you are loved, and we will win

This is wild.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

I'm telling you, boring old lawyers are now going to ABA panels to applaud hostile retorts to MAGA panelists and yell "you're a clown" at them. A whole lot of people who merely furrowed their brows at Trump I are now seething with rage, and the Dem consultant class needs to wake up to that.

I'm bad a social media and late on the newsletter. Hope to see you at a show.

Bier: "Over the last 30 years, we looked at all the government budgets -- federal, state, and local combined. Immigrants reduce deficits by $14.5 trillion."

he is a pedophile who has dementia. none of this should be even slightly surprising and it's depressing that it is

In other words Trump-Netanyahu have effectively carried out massive uncontained poison gas attacks on Tehran and its people.

Pam Bondi could protect her staff by not making them do unethical shit that might get them disbarred. But that would make Trump mad, so instead she's planning to take over the state bars. www.lawandchaospod.com/p/bondi-says...

Kristi Noem has overseen a lawless DHS — good riddance. My full statement on Trump firing her:

This is what weak and insecure people think confidence looks like: buffoonish bluster and swagger, like a 12-year-old bully. It doesn‘t inspire trust or security. It inspires grave concern for the lives of the people serving our nation whose fate is in the hands of these overcompensating oafs.

As Rep. Jayapal says, our reporting has found that these aren’t isolated incidents. Last October, we tallied more than 170 cases of U.S. citizens detained by immigration agents. Here’s that investigation she’s referring to:

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000 miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

At the risk of having this skeet blopped on my head in a couple of months, the birthright citizenship case is an incredibly easy case decided by straightforward text, and that’s part of why these amicus briefs are all such dunks.
