“Some of the spending is almost comical if it weren’t real taxpayer dollars. The Pentagon (Hegseth) spent $6.9M on lobster tail $2M on Alaskan king crab $15.1 M on ribeye steak $ 1 M on salmon (just Sept) $139.224 doughnuts $124K ice cream machines $ 12K fruit basket stands $98K a grand piano

Elon Musk is now worth $845 billion. Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025. Meanwhile, nearly a quarter of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high. See the problem here?

Today is essentially my Saturday/ day off this week. I worked until 4 am, came home and slept, went to the office for an hour to get my pretrial docs filed, and came home and slept a solid 4 hours. I learned early in my career to enjoy the "day off" that came after a sleep. Lol

Of course no one else understands MAGA cult like the founder and leader. Why is that a surprise?

This is so true.

A Thai-flagged cargo vessel, Mayuree Naree Bangkok, was attacked near the Strait of Hormuz on March 11, leaving 3 of its 23 crew missing. The ship had departed Dubai and was heading to India when struck near its stern. #Iran

[10/x] The SAVE America Act is deliberately designed to make it difficulty to impossible for anyone who has had their name changed—for whatever reason—to get the documents they would need to vote. It is designed not to root out fraud, but to keep us, especially us women, from voting.

I’m aggressively anti-AI for so, so many reasons… but I also just realized that it will almost certainly result in people sending EVEN MORE emails, and I can’t even express my horror. I already hope your emails do not find me. Please leave me alone.

I hate the new rule in no small part because on Monday last week defense firms started filing MSJs en masse because now the response deadline is triggered by filing and not setting it for hearing. So I’m writing like 5 responses at the same time and they’re all due before the month is over. Funnnnnn

Wait, are Senate Republicans denying these things are true about Jesus Christ, the savior??

The troubles

Sen. Rick Scott in 2022: “The buck stops with one person. Joe Biden made your gas prices go up. He did it. He actually did it.” Scott today, 14 months after Trump took over: "Unfortunately, [gasoline] prices are gonna be up for a while."

I think Trump knows exactly what he's doing with the shoes, it's another humiliation thing. If it wasn't, they'd just rebuy the exact same Florsheim shoe in the right size and wear that. But they know he'd notice those aren't the clown shoes he gave them, so they can't do it.

Who could possibly have foreseen that war on Iran would (a) make Iran retaliate by closing the strait of Hormuz, which (b) could disrupt world oil markets, enriching Russia and penalizing most everyone else? Who, indeed, except EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER THOUGHT FOR ONE MINUTE about the situation.

I followed this person just because of this meme.

The shoe thing is low on the "important global matters" scale, but HIGH on the "I'll take things a deranged Roman emperor would do for $500, Alex" chart.

You really need to watch this whole clip. It's amazing.

Dumbest news of the week so far, and that’s saying something

What, TACO tman isn't consistent?!

👀 ICE deported two U.S. citizen children with their mother to Guatemala, even though she had apparently elected to leave them with their grandmother in Florida. The govt is now arranging their return under court order: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“Tolerance for civilian harm” INDEED!

It should make everyone that person does anything with questions their veracity.

This should be a campaign ad.

Saved all of my work so in case my office gets hit with a tornado tonight it won't be wasted. Also moved the car under the biggest tree to save it from hail.

I wish my post judgment collections were this fun.

Bc of hail and possible tornadoes tomorrow night and my noon Wednesday deadline for all of my pretrial docs, I'm going to have to work later tonight than I wanted. Sigh, am so tired. Time change sucks.

What. The. Fuck. DOJ settled this case on Friday, while testimony was actively being taken, and did not tell the judge, the jury, opposing counsel, OR DOJ’s LEAD PROSECUTOR UNTIL TODAY. How is it even possible to settle a case without involving or even notifying your own lead prosecutor?!?!!

Time change absolutely sucks. I didn't get any less sleep or more, but I'm so tired I could lay down and nap in my office. But I have too much to do!

He convinced me that I cannot trust my government while he is in the WH. That RACISM is alive and well in the US. Further, that GOP senators are spineless & unserious people. Also, that every one of us needs to WORK every day to protect Democracy.

*stares tiredly into the camera with eyes as empty as her soul*

New favorite song which i found to add to my F U list last week when two of my opposing counsel annoyed me. GAYLE - abcdefu youtu.be/NaFd8ucHLuo?...

He has also deported dozens of dissidents back to Iran, where they were likely executed.

I bought these great leopard print jeans and they fit me perfectly without hemming. Thats because they are sold as crop pants. Hahaha 5'3" makes it hard to avoid tailoring cloths. a.co/d/055K6hOZ

For some reason I have this Simpsons quote in my head: "I move for a bad court thingy."

So MSNow is reporting that there are secret detention centers in Colorado where people have been keeping people prisoner for months without beds. These prisoners include children. They are also reporting that they are taking their property and keeping it. Sound familiar? Think back to pre-WW2.

Republicans: medicare for all is SOCIALISM Also Republicans: now supporting price controls on gasoline by executive order because woke

Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei • More hardline than father • He’s the IRGC candidate • Relatively young: 56 • Avoids public • Trusted by father, clerics • Was in military during Iraq-Iran war • His wife, Zahra, killed in Israeli airstrike w his father

A dude in Texas who makes bomb shelters for nuclear war has seen his business skyrocket this week. Recent clients include 2 Trump admin members, and the rest were almost all “Christian, conservative CEOs,” which included “several of the wealthiest men on the planet." www.rawstory.com/iran-war/

Ugh. The brand-new Coast Guard jet Kristi Noem was using before she got fired flew down to Florida late Friday -- presumably for the "Shield of the Americas" announcement -- and then returned to Watertown, SD, late Saturday. So she's still using it!!

Mojtaba Khamenei is widely considered to be more hardline, ideological, and violent than his father. Donald is smart that way.

chat is it good when the oil lines go vertical chat come back here chat stop screaming

maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living

DC folks actually sort of need to demand that heads roll over this. It’s a real problem if law enforcement in the capital is so pathetic, weak, and supine that their instinct is to act as stormtroopers for illicit federal power grabs.

Last year, this guy (left) from DOGE used ChatGPT to find NEH grants that were too “DEI” for Trump, and canceled them, including mine, as shown by the letter I received last April (right). Huge new NYT article on the back story link below

BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers. This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight. (🎥 Vahid Online)

I would just like to tell DST to get f'ed. Time change sucks. Wish outr governments, federal or state, would finally kick it to the curb.

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song. But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

I took Contemporary Iran as a senior capstone course and learning about this FLOORED me

Why is there so much traffic outside my office after midnight on Saturday?

Our government is covering up untold numbers of murders. Worse, they’re incentivizing them. This broken fucking country.
