My partner Kyle Farrar and I spoke to ABOTA about the benefits and challenges of live-streaming the Alex Jones trial. It was a great conversation along with David Siegel of Courtroom View Network: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSWN...

In addition to being in the process of losing his business, this man has also lost his juice.

9 months later, and I’m happy to report that Musk’s attempt to dismiss this class-action has failed. Let me give you some updates… 🧵

My dumb ass at 19 signing my first predatory loan.

I’m having trouble processing that this is real. But it is extremely real.

If anyone knows the real Cindy Steinberg, I’d be happy to talk to her about her legal options. After defaming her for the past 24 hours, Grok has now acknowledged the situation is a hoax … but it’s also still defaming her every few minutes in separate posts.

If I could define my disdain for mainstream media in one way it would be this: no one gets smarter or more informed about policy/history/procedures from watching CNN. If you forced someone to watch CNN cover a bill for a month, 99% of viewers wouldn't be able to answer basic questions about the bill

Smart move by Newsom. 1) Fox is vulnerable after the Dominion settlement and he chose the right number. 2) with Trump, Musk & the bad faith right weaponizing defamation and libel laws to attack their critics, it’s time liberals and leftists fight (legal) fire with fire. Sue ‘em.

Gavin Newsom is suing Fox News for $787 million -- the same amount Fox paid to Dominion -- for making false claims about his phone call with Trump. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/u...

Proud to announce that today my co-counsel Michael Teter and I have filed a defamation lawsuit against Fox News on behalf of Governor Gavin Newsom. www.huffpost.com/entry/gavin-...

AMERICA 2025

Alex Jones, Benny Johnson, and everyone else in their orbit don't give a shit who this guy really is, and they don't care even a whit about the people he murdered. Their job is to make dumb, fearful people even dumber and more afraid, so they buy sweatshirts and sea moss pills.

It concerns me that we're in age not just of political assassinations, but Holocaust-denial-levels of denialism by US senators

The nazi site is full of propaganda from musk on down that the MN assassin is a leftist. At times it feels like radio rwanda, absolutely disturbing

We can’t let this place become an echo chamber we need this pov represented as well

This tyrannical "liberate" horseshit is arguably as bad as what she did to Sen. Padilla.

(Banging on the window of a guy talking on the phone in his car) hey man you’re in a filter bubble. Hang on (aggressively rattling the door handle) let me get in there and show you the most racist image you have ever seen,

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

SOROS BRICKS SPOTTED

Well that’s weird. Musk refused to delete his ridiculous tweets accusing my innocent client of committing a “false flag” Nazi attack. I wonder what’s different here…

This is even funnier if you remember that shortly after Epstein was released from prison the first time for raping a minor, Elon Musk went to his house and hung out with him.

That’s $500k in “non-economic” damages. In other words, it lets you seek $500k for the emotional agony of viewing pornography. But here in my home state of Texas, if medical negligence results in the paralysis of your child, you’re limited to $250k for your anguish.

This is the shit I am on. America, at least, has moved into a widespread culture of participatory make-believe, where anyone can join into a community that enables them to actively imagine their own version of reality with the full support of social, cultural, media, and political institutions

"The Truth vs. Alex Jones," the documentary about the Sandy Hook trials, just won a Peabody Award. It features unprecedented footage from inside a U.S. courtroom, and it manages to capture both the horror and absurdity of this story. You can watch it on HBO Max. peabodyawards.com/award-profil...

During a debate titled "One Christian vs. Twenty Atheists," Jordan Peterson loses by forgetting what side he’s on

Heads up, Rob Sheridan is selling his ASCII text skull on a shirt for $13. Instant purchase.

He spends 21 hours a day replying "😂" to neo-Nazis

Regarding the Grok mess today, I see a lot of takes saying “Musk broke Grok and it still won’t say white genocide is real.” But that’s not quite what’s happening. In fact, I’d argue that something far more insidious is taking place. 🧵

Telling my kids this is Andor

i am experiencing trauma

George Lucas’ handwritten notes before starting the rough draft of Star Wars in 1974. Alt text provided. From The Making of Star Wars by JW Rinzler.

As someone who spent six years of the prime of my career fighting against the idea that you can advance your political agenda by recklessly spreading the assertion that a deadly shooting was staged to a mass audience while lacking any semblance of quality evidence, man, get the fuck outta here.

Today, my firm won a $31 million jury verdict against XPO Logistics and its subcontractors for negligently causing the death of 25-year-old Josué Calá. Corporate negligence threatens us all, and in an age of vanishing regulations, holding them accountable in court is vital to our safety.

I'm mad at my friends for saying I look like Pete Hegseth texting war plans 😩😆

This is America, you do what any good American would do. Get a lawyer and sue the fuck out of them.

During George W. Bush's presidency, they also packed the press room with toadies, one of whom, Jeff Gannon, turned out to be a D.C. area sex worker who advertised to closeted gay conservatives on a website called HotMilitaryStuds. Now we just have dweebs like Tim Pool, which is far more boring.

I talked to David Pakman about why independent creators like Steven Crowder and Tim Pool need to face liability for defamation, as in my latest lawsuit. Clip below, full interview at: youtu.be/Y_dsHPWw1NY?...

NEW SHOW: Mark Bankston, attorney who took down Alex Jones, discusses a landmark defamation case against right-wing media outlets, the real-world consequences of online misinformation, and the fight for truth in digital journalism. Available on Spotify & Apple Podcasts NOW & on YouTube at 9PM ET!

Suing far right influencers who spread conspiracy theories about private figures to audiences full of unhinged and violent trolls is good, and more people put through these horrible ringers should do it.

Have you ever messed up really bad? Just totally miscalculated to your own detriment?

I know this is extremely vulgar idealism, but I do think we should try to aggressively reassert the norm that lying is bad. Not in a "Four Pinnochios" fact-checking kind of way, but in a way that frames this kind of lying as moral degeneracy that is fundamentally corrosive to the human spirit.

we're in legit first they came for territory and a lot of people have been failing at this test they cite all the time

People are saying there needs to be Democratic primary challenges, new blood in the party. Yes, fine. But remember that got us Fetterman and Sinema, and look at what they became. On the other hand, it also got us Bush and Bowman, and look at what the party did to them. Truly bleak.

I do not like this. I do not like being ruled by sociopaths soaked in an information system divorced from reality. I do not like that my president is an aspiring tyrant who has betrayed our allies to side with Putin. I do not like waking up every day feeling a kind of dirty no shower can fix.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

We're going to look back at this period like "USA elected a moron, sabotaged decades of international stewardship, destroyed its safety net, ruined its own economy, ushered in oligarchs... all bc enough voters **really** cared about 500 trans girls on the HS girls cross country team...?!"

All of that said, there really is something mentally debilitating about Trump as a phenomenon. The ways people have been disillusioned this last decade. We did a pretty good job putting up a front of seriousness over the last half of the 20th century. To see it all come apart this way — it's tough.
