My "I'm not hurting kids" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

Considering the alternatives, a Van Hollen/Ossoff ticket would be a massive win.

Anyone know why the attorney for the government on this warrant is the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri and not, you know, the US Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia?

Funny enough, I have it on good authority that we can arrest and prosecute the President of Venezuela (even if John Roberts say we can’t do that to POTUS)

As someone who loves and cares about the law deeply, I understand where Dan is coming from. But I'd ask Dan two questions: (i) Do the folks you're engaging share your first principles regarding the law? and (ii) At what point would you abandon your assumption of good faith?

If I'm the BBC, I'm hiring Noel Franscico & Jones Day to craft my very originalist/much history and tradition/"The Emoluments Clause Says We Can't Pay You" motion for summary judgement.

They didn't even get the headline they wanted. "Senate blocks..."

As a reminder, we could have have primaried this corrupt asshole but @socialists.nyc chose not to endorse @chiosse.bsky.social. Great job everybody!

Sauer was dealt a losing hand but I think the best strategy would have been to attack the MQD directly. It puts the libs in the uncomfortable position of defending it and Alito/Thomas don’t care because they have Loper Bright now.

Going to need a @fivefourpod.bsky.social on In re Neagle because the facts are wild.

Fascinating. When McConnell refused to give Garland a vote, I was told there was nothing Obama could do. Turns out that wasn’t true!

[Donald Trump digs up Millard Filmore’s corpse and displays it on the White House lawn as Halloween decorations] Jonathan Adler: “I get why people are shocked, but let’s not forget that Fillmore was a historically bad president…”

Remind me what Stephen Miller was doing from 2007 to 2016?

Did any other politicians, other than the Democratic governor of New York, get asked about this on camera?

If SCOTUS reform is the #1 priority for Dems in Federal office, police reform should be the #1 priority for Dems in state office. In both instances, Dems need to be absolutely ruthless and use every available tool at their disposal.

Would like Dems to ask her the basis for her refusal to answer. And when she doesn't give one, raise a point of order with the chair, asking if it's acceptable for witnesses to refuse to answer questions without a legal basis or if that's grounds for contempt. Also, who helped prepare this dossier?

If we’re going to ever get back to some sort of normalcy, there needs to be accountability for everyone responsible for our current nightmare ESPECIALLY anyone involved in the “Come on ride the Float” NFL ad.

It’s all palingenetic ultranationalism, with different flavors based on different national histories. GWOT was a big part of ours. The internet obviously helped spread the propaganda (like the radio in the 30s) but saying “this was due to the internet” lets a ton of propagandists off the hook.

Wasn’t the whole lesson of 2012 that Obama defined Mitt super early - before the GOP could build a myth of moderation and it helped him win in a super unfavorable landscape?

Police will lose body camera footage from 30 minutes ago if there are allegations of abuse. But when it’s need to rendition minorities like Abrego Garcia to Salvadorian torture camps, they have that 2022 traffic stop dash cam footage backed up in triplicate.

This answer needs to be understood in the context of his prior comment: “We don’t do BDAs.” His answer, truthfully, is the private assessments provided to POTUS and SECDEF at the planning stage. It’s evasive and not responsive to the intent of the questioner, specifically“WTF are you doing here?”

American reality TV viewers sniffing out inauthenticity:

They're also lying about what Selia says in order to justify this made-up exception. WHAT THEY CLAIM SELIA SAYS v. WHAT SELIA ACTUALLY SAYS

The problem with the prequels is that they were made in the late 90s. Had they been green lit just a little bit later they would have been much more informed by the War on Terror (the way Lucas was influenced by the Vietnam War when conceiving of the initial trilogy).

a good example of how bad the media is at handling Trump: he lies in a very clear, provable way and instead of focusing on it Terry Moran tries to move the interview along

I suspect if you drill down on the "things aren't moving fast enough" complaints you'd find the real issue is that folks disagree with the current approach to the balancing of hardships/irreparable harm re: the Feds. For non-lawyer brained, getting him to safety immediately is the obvious priority.

There are like a dozen separate grounds for firing this guy, but after this flop sweat performance I think you need to add that he's now compromised national security by giving the EIC of The Atlantic an unacceptable degree of leverage over him, by obvious lying about their relationship.

UPenn could do the funniest thing in retaliation: leak his transcripts

Evolution of Originalism: 1. Original Intent 2. Original Public Meaning 3. Original Maritime Meaning

“You think we sound corrupt but actually we just sound like police officers.”

Everyone’s asking “Why are these 19 year old boys running our government?” and I’m over here asking, “Why does Elon Musk know so many 19 year old boys?”

Do I have to have seen Nosferaone before watching Nosferatu?
