This article is so good. And so overdue.

wake up babe the white house is a six flags

Time to call Lord John Marbury.

Being a mom is weird. I made cupcakes for an imaginary friend’s birthday (as instructed) and I didn’t get the right color icing so now said imaginary friend says I’m in “time out.” 🤣

Secretary of State, Marco Rubio cosplaying as Press Secretary is giving a sinister version of “the President has a secret plan to fight inflation.” If you know, you know.

“The Justice Department is entering a hyperaggressive new era, cutting legal corners in service of getting President Trump the headlines—and revenge—he wants,” @qjurecic.bsky.social argues:

“We could sure use some butter on this wind.” Might be my favorite new saying since “water pockets” (cup holders).

This won't kill this technology, it just makes pharma a sector dominated by European, Chinese and Indian corporations

Holiday figures were on our minds this car ride… “Mom, why doesn’t anyone give Santa a present?” When I suggested that the cookies offered to Santa were a present, that offering was deemed insufficient. We are now buying Santa a present this year. I’m very curious what it will be.

“Mom is the Easter Bunny a ninja?” How would you answer this?

This OLC opinion declaring the Presidential Records Act invalid makes a number of astonishing claims, including that retention of presidential records serves no valid legislative purpose. . . . www.justice.gov/olc/media/14...

There is a certain sad kismetic irony to birthright citizenship being heard in the Supreme Court on April Fools' Day, because if you had told me if ever in my lifetime we would be litigating birth right citizenship, I would have thought you were joking.

Good afternoon! The hearing for a preliminary injunction in Anthropic v. Department of War (that's the name of the case, don't blame me!) starts on the half hour. You can follow my live coverage here.

Thrilled to publish my latest article BAN COOKIE BANNERS: A CASE STUDY IN TECH REGULATION with the Harv. J. of Law & Tech! A cri de cœur to end this worse-than-useless regulatory compliance regime and let something that actually protects users take its place. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... 1/

My littles and I read “Big Bad Wolf Is Good” at the library. 🚨 Spoiler Alert 🚨 Deciding he is now good, BBW struggles to get his fairytale neighbors to believe him. It is only after he performs a good deed that friendships grow and trust blossoms. TLDR: true contrition requires action.

Holy cow, Ukraine offered to help the US prepare to counter Iranian drones, but the Trump regime turned them down, too focused on pushing the narrative that Ukraine “has no cards” and should surrender to Russia. But now the US is back, asking for help after attacking Iran and getting fire back.

The President of the United States is actively attempting to eliminate professional oversight of the Department of Justice to prevent accountability. Wow.

First US fatalities in Trump's illegal war on Iran.

OpenAI posted the terms of the deal. Reveals that it absolutely does allow for domestic surveillance. EO 12333 is how the NSA hides its domestic surveillance by capturing communications by tapping into lines *outside the US* even if it contains info from/on US persons. openai.com/index/our-ag...

The cruelty and inhumanity of this Administration’s policies have left another person dead—as CBP dropped off Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind refugee living in Buffalo NY, alone on a cold winter night miles from his home. This cruelty must end.

Now this is a headline.

The contrast is clear between the SOTU and Governor Spanberger's rebuttal; callous corruption vs. capable clarity.

Abigail Spanberger is less than three minutes into the rebuttal and has already delivered a more substantive speech than the entirety of the SOTU.

The whining has ended.

“I’m not allowed to give it to myself.” Oh. My. Goodness.

Considering all the chatbots available, this speech is even more embarrassing.

Very low energy, he really only ever perks up when recounting the violent acts punctuating his whining.

We’re lost in the wilderness of gibberish.

“Nobody wants to go fishing anymore.” Wtf?!

Just a deluge of words.

What’s the spread on Marco Rubio getting another job assignment by the end of the state of the union?

Almost all the women he’s mentioning in his speech are the victims of some violence and all are being used as props for his angry sales pitch.

He’s still going, more whining.

When you compare his hand color to his facial complexion it’s unnerving.

This volume of whining is borderline impressive.

State of DeLulu continues.

We’ve transitioned from QVC host to culty televangelist.

His delivery is getting increasingly erratic.

The slurring is getting worse.

Fraudsters investigating fraud.

A little rich that the walking violation of the emoluments clause is trying to lecture Congress about fraud and insider trading.

The state of our union is unaffordable.

Lots of negotiating but none of these negotiations seem to bear fruit.

‪Watching a doddering QVC host trying to sell his fanfiction to the American public.

Takeaway from the SOTU so far: it’s all about stolen valor and a pallid attempt at legacy framing.

The men’s hockey team should be careful. He may ask to see one of their medals and then keep it. Ol’ sticky fingers loves prizes. All the preciouses.

So, I agree the goalie was great. But you can really tell that Trump doesn’t know anything about hockey or sports generally.

Now he’s just pretending to be a WWE announcer.

State of deLuLu.

No one told me that the state of the union was a historical fanfiction contest.
