As @esotericcd.bsky.social of @nationalreview.bsky.social put it on the other site: "If the shoe were on the other foot this would no doubt constitute a threat to Trump's physical safety."

It won't be easy to increase the GOP's 30-point deficit on the generic ballot among Latino voters. But the White House is trying its best. x.com/WhiteHouse/s...

In some cultures, firing missiles at your trade vessels is a great sign of respect.

The battle for my waistline is "separate and distinct" from my eating habits

This ran 10 YEARS AGO.

I have criticized Garland plenty, but i think this is right. They had a strategy and it could have worked under different circumstances. It turned out that it didn't. Sometimes you just lose.

Hegseth lets right-wing media ask the first questions on porpoise

Knicks past two games: Knicks 140 Hawks 89 Knicks 137 76ers 98 When was the last time a team scored that many points in each of its last two games while holding its opponents to under 100?

Carlos May, a White Sox first baseman from 1968-76, was born on May 17 and never let anyone forget it

Dustin May wearing #3 and pitching on May 3rd is incredible.

It’s Sam’s birthday and he’s old enough to run for dog president!

In case you were wondering what this is about:

Some of us are old enough to remember when the Bush administration politicized DOJ — much less than this crew yet it became a huge deal! www.politico.com/blogs/politi...

You know who didn’t ask for ID? The Trojans. With that big horse. In this country, every time you walk out of a horse you have to show ID.

Frank, whose mind is still sharp, has decided to publicly show his failing body without embarrassment - and as a fact of life - just as he once announced his sexual orientation, at a time it took great courage to do so. A great American.

And it’s even stupider because Trump is accusing Obama’s AG of rigging the *2020* presidential election when Trump was president.

one thing normal people don’t realize is that the names of racehorses are based on the names of their parents. At the #KentuckyDerby, RIGHT TO PARTY has the following pedigree: Sire Name: CONSTITUTION Dam Name: HAVIN’ A PARTY #ChurchillDowns www.kentuckyderby.com/horses/right...

Trump declares the Iran war “terminated” precisely on the 23rd anniversary of Bush’s infamous “Mission Accomplished” speech. (h/t @kdbyproxy.bsky.social)

He’s declaring the end to the war like Michael Scott declaring Bankruptcy

This is fine actually, since Paul is upfront about his goals and acknowledges that it means changing the constitution. This is much better than changing the constitution via judicial interpretation.

as an avid reader of corrections, I am unlikely to recover from “sits peeing down”

Mitchell Robinson’s +/- is +29. He has played a total of 9 minutes.

37,964 games have been played in the NBA since the 1996-97 season, regular season & playoffs. Knicks/Hawks is the first game where the road team scored 100 points before the home team had 50.

Even this guy is like well maybe this is too harsh on Atlanta

The 1990s Knicks won entire games with 83 points

Knicks under arrest if Hawks go on 18-8 run

Nice

Absolutely extraordinary. The Democrats conceded *nothing* and got everything they demanded. They said no ICE/CBP funding, and that's precisely what happened. In other words, they did not cave. At all. But the GOP did—completely.

My "I don't have dementia and I was president three times" shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

So I googled for evidence of this usage of 86 and “8 miles out 6 feet down” and bizarrely I found — and this is all I found — Carrie Fisher’s brother recounting a story from Warren Beatty about Debbie Reynolds threatening to harm Beatty if he ever touched Fisher. www.news.com.au/entertainmen...

To catch up on the ballroom litigation — including but not limited to the nutty DOJ brief whose intro/close sure sounded like a certain someone’s Truth Social post — check out this dispatch from @mollyroberts.bsky.social and me for @lawfaremedia.org www.lawfaremedia.org/article/what...

Trump insists the White House needs his ballroom, especially after Saturday’s incident. His GOP allies have introduced legislation to authorize it. But the public continues to reject the ballroom by a 2:1 margin. Fresh polling via @sfcpoll.bsky.social.

In which DOJ Pardon Attorney Ed Martin tells Sen. Tillis to “go to Hell.”

So that’s why he needs that ball room

The Trump administration's argument about the importance of the White House ballroom project following the attempted shooting at the correspondents dinner will test just how far national security deference by the courts can stretch, write @ericcolumbus.bsky.social and @mollyroberts.bsky.social.

Concurring in U.S. v. Madero (2022), Thomas suggested Bolling was wrongly decided and that the Citizenship Clause may be a better (and narrower) avenue for equal protection-ish claims against the federal government. But that would not avail noncitizen Haitians. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21p...

Pirro to seek indictment

Why worry whether a case has merit when you can screw your enemies just with an indictment?
