What are we doing here. Why are people like this

What if we never do? Shutting down Congress fulfills a lot of wishes for the administration. They can act with total impunity with zero Dem interference. They can strip funds from literally everything. They can force essential workers to work for free. It’s a dream scenario?

All Her Fault is so good

This is so tacky oh my god

Not feeding people is foul

TRIAL LAWYERS: I have a mock final trial culminating my trial advocacy class in one week. It’s my first time lawyering in front of a jury and (real) judge in a real courthouse. Any advice?

One lesson of the Sandwich Guy Case is now more than ever when you are called to jury duty you should go

People who rely on SNAP are being irreparably harmed and have lost badly needed benefits without due process

#BREAKING: Justice Jackson has issued an "administrative" stay, temporarily pausing a district court order that would've required the USDA to continue using contingency funds to pay SNAP benefits. The stay expires 48 hours after the First Circuit rules on USDA's request for a stay pending appeal.

Telling my microwave I'm going no-contact

LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR: DOJ DID ALL OF THIS TO TRY AND STOP PAYMENTS TO PEOPLE UNDER AN ANTI-HUNGER PROGRAM.

Thing is, Pam, we have this thing called federalism...and the states have a right to advocate for funds already granted that are unlawful to withhold. The purpose isn't to "seize center stage" but to feed people in their state, whose wellbeing they have a sovereign interest in and obligation toward

ryan is right. people HATE hearing this. but it is just a matter of simple incentives. if you want a more representative legislature — and if you want a legislature more resistant to corruption — then you need to jack up the salaries. serving as mayor of NYC should net you a cool 500K *at least*

Amen. 'Leadership is about leading people by convincing them of your vision. Not just feeding them what the polls say will work... 🌟 it means you need to be worth following 🌟. You need to present a vision of a world they can believe in... ' - @mmasnick.bsky.social www.techdirt.com/2025/11/06/m...

BUBBLE, PEOPLE!!! BUBBLE!!!!

Imagine saying “I’m a rational person” while wearing that jacket on television

Oh I’m fucking PISSED

I have....thoughts. At least as to Google. Past disclosures were little more than PR fluff. Example: they discuss "pay equity," but there's no analysis of pay disparities between demographic groups. Yet I know for a fact that Google has historically paid women less than men for the same work.

Yesterday, the judge ordered compliance “immediately” as of the court’s oral order, and added that no stays would be considered. And that was after admonishing the government for failing to comply with its *earlier* order. I’m not a lawyer yet but I’m pretty sure judges dislike these shenanigans

Everything Chanda said, plus their reasons for it are disgusting. They are exploiting child hunger for political gains.

Imagine making a point of going to court with the goal of starving children. That’s what everyone involved in requesting this emergency stay is doing. Ghoulish.

Trump goes to court to starve kids should be a headline everywhere today

i realize car dealership owners are his demographic but holy shit lol

“I wanna give you a layup to disavow white supremacy, so here ya go” “No thanks”

"I unequivocally reject identity politics" i scream, right before selecting my five gallon cowboy hat for my Fox Business interview.

I don't think it's even right to say the voting public doesn't care. I think the truth is a lot of voters may generally find trans identity moderately confusing but also *none of their business*. on the other hand, they find an obsession with harming trans people - say it with me - deeply weird.

Villains used to obfuscate. They looked normal on tv and said things like "Fiscal discipline." Now you have grotesque guys hissing "Empathy is weakness" like a cartoon

No human being could ever contribute enough to this world to EARN a trillion dollars But Elon Musk least of all.

Growing concerned that Boo Boo might be the world's most photogenic kitten.

This is incredibly funny but, also, I hope everyone who is pro AI or a teacher that allows AI can see clear as day that the ultimate goal is to put the thumb on the scale of all of this shit. That's why they're forcing it on us. It's a joke.

My favorite comment on the FT story

For Cornell’s Journal of Law and Public Policy, I wrote about an alternative to government censorship that gives platform users more choice - and how big tech uses legal threats to circumvent congressional intent and fight interoperability. 👇 publications.lawschool.cornell.edu/jlpp/2025/10...

Your cat when you're choking to death in your apartment

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

louder for six particular individuals

When people talk about the excesses of MeToo, they have to lie, because the reality is that there was no massive social reckoning forcing people to believe survivors or hold perpetrators accountable. In fact, there has been a significant backsliding and new punishments in rejection of MeToo

The xenophobia be popping. "civilized society" gross. You know who else has universal healthcare? Botswana. Why don't we ever talk about that?

I love discovery. It’s such a beautiful thing.

No notes

Elon Musk forced his employees to hand over their biometric data, including perpetual, royalty-free use of their voices and likenesses…and then turned them into a digital sex doll. gizmodo.com/xai-employee...

I hope Schumer is next. His embarrassing non-endorsement is just yet another example of how completely out of touch party leadership is and has been. Make way. We do not have time to wait.

We brought our equal pay lawsuit against Google more than 8 years ago and I had hundreds of men telling me to stfu because workplace inequality was no longer a thing. Anyway,

Employment lawyer here: the number of male employers who genuinely believe they should be able to sleep with their female employees and pay working mothers less than working fathers is most of them. They genuinely believe that it is an injustice against them that they might face repercussions.

Zohran has now gotten more votes, in New York City alone, than 49 members of the U.S. Senate did when they get elected; It's likely that, when the final tally is complete, he'll have gotten more votes than half of all Senators currently in office. *This* is what power and purpose looks like.

“I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life”

This is a personal attack

A thing you're not seeing if you haven't checked Twitter in the last week is all the political betting markets (Polymarket, Kalshi) are actively caping for Cuomo and spreading Zohran conspiracies on there. Usually this would be a cause for some sort of regulatory oversight but that no longer exists.
