A “LOL, no” bill

Zoomies are now officially an Olympic sport.

Is it true Mr. Bunny is neither bad nor a bunny?

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

the Spectator accidentally recycled a subhed from a previous day’s article about Tehran

I took the Colbert Questionert! Watch the full interview here: youtu.be/HPONVyNiWsU?...

Just saw a post with George Clinton citing the Beatles as his favorite band, which reminded me of this quote he once gave me

Hegseth is threatening the Scouts for their “woke” policies.

Strongly recommend that people read this--especially lawyers and people who are interested in the government's compliance (or lack thereof) with court orders. This is a shocking demonstration of contempt of court--shocking even in light of the Trump administration. [1/2]

the Swiss mixed doubles curling team is married and when their game ended the Peacock stream just showed them playing with their Curling Baby for like 5 minutes with the Olympics music playing

I had to Repost. Then Quote Post.

turns out when Bezos suggested "democracy dies in darkness" it was a goal, not a slogan

It's only a betrayal of the source material if the new character appearance is non-white. Otherwise it's sparkling adaptation choices.

"actually his stuff was very Derivative and not Original" like, you don't have to do this. it is good for us all to sit with the cognitive dissonance that a very bad person can make very good art. it is good for us to work through the moral ramifications of that.

I’m going to suggest, gently, that while it’s good that a judge ordered the government to release a five-year-old from an inhumane prison, it’s not good that a federal judge signed off with citations to Bible verses.

A moment from the British satirical magazine PRIVATE EYE. (12/n)

The Trump Administration claims the agents who shot Alex Pretti have been put on administrative leave, notwithstanding Greg Bovino’s prior short statement that they were simply reassigned. There is no reason to credit this assertion as truthful. /1

Ilan Wurman's anti-birthright citizenship Supreme Court amicus. I won't mince words. He bastardizes the common law. It is a methodologically bankrupt approach to the history of Anglo-American constitutionalism. It is little more than preening to gain someone's favor, but certainly not a scholar's.

Department of Justice Civil Rights Division Chief Harmeet Dhillon Announces New Policy: Federal Government Will Not Obey Any Court Order Unless The Judge Went To Ivy For Undergrad And Law School. “And Not Brown!” Added Dhillon.

This is Minneapolis. Collective trauma, and neighbors helping neighbors. This is our 24/7 every day lives right now, not just a 10 second news clip.

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."

I do not just throw out praise for Senate Dem leadership, but this is good. It’s what we need now - Dems using their leverage where they’ve got it and refusing to budge. Make GOP own this lawless goon squad. No Dem votes for it. Support Dems who are fighting back now regardless of past beefs.

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect. /1

As JD Vance starts trying to play "nice Gestapo" to Steven Miller's "mean Gestapo," it's worth emphasizing that what's happening in Minnesota is a direct descendant of Vance's knowingly false racist demagoguery during the campaign. "Somalis are low-IQ thieves" is "Haitians are eating your pets." 1/

Then they will strip their sleeve and show Their frostbite scars And say "These wounds I had on Fuck Ice Day"

I just thought everyone should see this

If the Solicitor General is to be called General—when really Solicitors General are Solicitors, not Generals— I think it only appropriate that we henceforth refer to any Associate Justice as Associate.

Does stopping wars that he was the cause of count in his Nobel Peace Prize tally?

The Canadians are dunking on us, & we really deserve it. This satire has great verisimilitude, except for one thing: I’d be very surprised if Trump could name Maurice Richard.

#SCOTUS is likely to do the right thing in the Lisa Cook case. But it's worth bearing in mind that this idea that the Fed is some bespoke exception to the unitary executive theory is utterly incoherent as a matter of both law and history—and is really just proof that the UET is itself bollocks:

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." -1984

One good reason you might have had to not do the "all impeachment, all the time" strategy for the whole last year is so that, in a crucial moment, you could do a big push to impeach on a really key issue where he's unusually unpopular Like, say, threatening to invade a treaty ally with 8% support

So, the "Board of Peace" [sic] not only doesn't mention Gaza in particular; it proposes to make Donald Trump in particular (not the president of the United States) king of the world. 1/ reason.com/volokh/2026/...

Approximately 80-90% of Americans oppose using force to take Greenland, but Americans are about evenly divided on the question of whether Trump will anyway (1/3 yes, 1/3 no, 1/3 not sure). Congress needs to act now to prohibit use of military force against NATO allies. Contact your Sens. and Rep!

Me: your hair looks so nice when you brush it. You look like a princess 5yo: 😠 no I don't! Me: you don't want to be a princess? 5yo: NO! Me: What do you want to be? 5yo: a demon hunter.

Gary Larson: In my cartoon I invented Cow Tools as a cautionary tale Cows: At long last, we have created the Cow Tools from classic newspaper comic Cow Tools

Today's terrible but actually good idea: Puerto Rico and DC should offer to rename themselves after Trump in exchange for admission as states. "Trump Rico" and "State of Trump, Douglass Commonwealth"--we could get both! You know Trump would be really tempted by it, screw the consequences...

lmao jesus christ

Martin Luther King, Jr. National favorable rating via Gallup: AUGUST 1966: 33% 👍 to 63% 👎 AUGUST 2011: 94% 👍 to 4% 👎

Statutory Bivens now! (i.e., give people the ability to sue when federal agents violate their legal (including Constitutional) rights, just as they can sue state agents)

PS: Except we shouldn't just be able to sue "just as" we can sue state agents now. So get rid of qualified immunity, for both state and federal agents, and require their employers (cities, police departments, DHS) to be liable as well.

I want to talk for a moment about how wrong DHS's statement of 4th Amendment law is. (Also, I want to confirm that, as you would expect from @annabower.bsky.social, the DHS tweet is real-I checked). Stating that arrests require "reasonable suspicion" is absolutely, unambiguously wrong. [1/10]

DHS getting basic 4th Amendment law wrong on its official Twitter account. Seems like this post is bound to show up as an exhibit in one of the cases challenging ICE/Border Control enforcement actions.

I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.
