Rode an elevator with Ed Koch. Sat at a dinner table next to Roy Scheider. Passed Ed Bradley at a fairly narrow subway stairway entrance. Then Sen Joe Biden dropped into a wedding reception I was at in DE.

It’s a small silver lining, but if SCOTUS spends more time dealing with Trump’s loser emergencies, at least the 6 horseman/woman of the apocalypse there will have less time to push the conservative agenda that they’d rather be focused on.

I’ve moved away be she used to be our Congresswoman and seemed like a good egg. Plus she is a vet with the bona fides to bust his chops.

“cancel the invitation”? What does that mean? Override LA’s invitation to the world to come for the games? I assume that’s the idea, but what a weird way to say it. IMO Trump too aware all the TV cameras that’ll be there and his being able to preside over them from some skybox to ever do this.

Boy, these poor ICE agents are going to be in so much trouble for flouting Trump’s “no masks” rule.

So you’re focusing on the part reading: “… Orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the States ….”?

I read it as him saying there are 3 ways to bring in the military. The 3rd way may be viable. It’s the parts I highlighted in blue. (Sorry if I am missing a more subtle point of yours. I was just seeing “illegal”.)

FWIW, I found this helpful on the legal questions involved. There may technically be a path for this action. www.stevevladeck.com/p/142-five-q...

Ha, surprised they filed in MDFla (Orlando) and didn’t file in SDFla (Miami), where they could get Aileen Cannon.

I read NYT article and am not clear whether this departure is just coincidence, or caused by the settlement. Lawyers move around. Maybe it’s just convenient to suggest: a) “I’m moving to a firm that fights” v. b) “they offered me way more money”. IDK. Thinking maybe press wants this to be a story.

Oy, typo. Of course, those nazis were not hiding pasta, but their monstrous pasts.

Hopefully the ppl pouring money into TSA screening at airports to defend against 9/11 style events are also figuring out how to defend against dudes in a pick-up with a FPV drone and a pipe bomb.

Surprised they didn’t go with rapid unscheduled disassembly, but maybe this one was more or less scheduled to occur.

And, suddenly, being the head of the independent, not-for-profit accrediting entity is no longer looking like a cushy 9 to 5 sounding job with occasional visits to NYC, Boston, etc to kick the tires at Ivy League schools.

Whereas TR would talk softly and carry a big stick when carrying out US foreign policy, Trump is inclined to talk loudly and the. chicken out. #TACO

Oy, it’s so bad. All the injunctions issued to date against USA wrt these Trump EOs etc were w/o security. So if USA violates these old injunctions after passage, Courts can’t find contempt. Seems like an unconstitutional stripping of power from Art III courts, but litigating that would take years.

What are the odds it gets renamed after Ashli Babbitt?

Wow. I was thinking “got to be Staten Island”, but she reps part of Queens. It’s interesting, in a bad way here, how much political diversity there in NYC. People paint it as a left wing Gomorrah, but there’s plenty of other perspectives too.

I would LOVE to see Trump take a proctored test on this “remedial math”. I say this as someone who avoided math and never even took calculus. I’m sure I’d get a zero, and I’m guessing he’d come in about the same.

Same. To me this was just some guy who played Mike Hammer on a show I never really watched, and also an actor busted for bringing coke into England.

Note how Thomas says 2A protects arms in "common use" by citizens. So as more ppl get assault rifles, the Constitution just expands to protect new kinds of weapons? Wish he’d use this logic more often, in different contexts, like, IDK, abortion maybe.

Interesting how the responding LEOs here had personal AR-15s in their patrol cars. I didn’t realize policing was was BYOG. (I don’t have a lot of exposure to this stuff. Maybe it’s normal, like having your own flashlight.)

Maybe. But nobody ever refers to the Patriot Act as HR 3162 or the Affordable Care Act (which is actually called the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act) as HR 3590. My point is just that journalists are not just blindly repeating propaganda in this particular instance. It’s THE name.

HR1 is literally called: “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”. That IS the name. Hate the bill, but got to give some credit to the marketing.

Neat how it seems to be camouflaged - its feathers make it harder to spot against the tree.

I seem to recall the US wrangling a bunch of Nazis out of Europe post WW2 to jump start the American rocket program.

This person is laughably under qualified for this job by any sane metric. He makes up for it, I presume, by unprecedented levels of obsequiousness and a tacit promise to only prosecute political foes of Trump. His confirmation hearings should be interesting.

“Senior Official Performing the Duties of Administrator”? Trump seems to prefer having only “acting” heads of depts and not actual heads. It keeps them beholden to Trump / they have even less job security.

He also wore the cap DURING the National Anthem.
¿Doesn’t the USMA have an honor code about not lying, and not tolerating those who do lie?
comment in response to

I know we are way beyond this point, but imagine for a second if Obama had worn a campaign hat to West Point, didn’t remove it during the National Anthem, and saluted the flag (like a military vet can) as opposed to putting his hand over his heart (as civilians are supposed to do)?

And for misappropriating from a charity he had created. (No wonder Trump has such fond memories.)

Levitt also known now for racist restrictive covenants and union busting. So, maybe it’s not all bad that he lost his momentum.

Might be fun to create fake law review articles etc, discretely label them as such, but fill them with cases that are just way too good to be true for certain causes and let those materials get scooped up by LLMs to entrap these lazy grifting lawyers. Basically: make AI unusable for them.

Thx. Good riddance to this past week of gray rainy and cold weather.
If only this had happened in late winter - would have been an epic snow cycle.

+ 1 of the departing attnys clerked for Alito on SCOTUS. Hard to know whether their politics aligned, but clerking for Alito does leave a question on their progressive credentials. With any law firm, though, the assets walk out the door every day. If they don’t come back tmrw, you have no firm.

I wonder if the views of the court on sanctity of life and our inability to calculate its value factor into civil wrongful death cases? Do you think they are pointing to this policy when awarding damages in a wrongful death case against a negligent hospital, doctor, or employer?
