In the coming weeks, we will be launching semantic search both on CourtListener itself and as an API. We expect this to be hugely useful to legal research. As we build things like this, we like to share our work, and today we're sharing a few things… 1/5

Ruh roh, Elon

Yo @durbin.senate.gov, no one is picking up your Senate phone and you don’t even have a voicemail. Vote no on cloture and the spending bill or I will do whatever it takes to make sure the next Senator from Illinois has basic constituent services set up during business hours.

Indeed.

I would die.

Are we great again yet or?

DOCUMENT DESTRUCTION: My reporter Brett Murphy obtained a remarkable directive to folks at USAID: Empty the safes with the classified and personnel records and then, "Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break."

Your wallet shrinks, your 401(k) tanks, but Trump's first thought is to help Elon.

Stupidity has its consequences...

Cops are great

Wild story. A Sacramento County deputy smoked meth in Sheriff’s station bathroom, only for it to contain fentanyl and he ODed. https://ktla.com/news/california/a-horrible-embarrassment-california-deputy-oded-on-seized-drugs-in-station-bathroom-investigation-finds/

Oooh! Oooh! I know! Mar-a-Lago.

The idea that Democrats need to "move to the center on policing" is ridiculous. They are basically on the right on this ALREADY. Have you paid attention??????

Yup.

As someone who has a degree in Russian studies, this is spot on.

I can't believe Big Balls, the Douche and Tommy Tuna could make a mistake like this, given their combined year of work experience.

One thing I'm fucken sick of hearing is that people on the poverty line "don't want handouts." Well, the rich take hand outs. Maybe they're rich bc they were offered handouts. Maybe they're rich bc they take them. This "shame in receiving free money" for the poor but not the rich makes me SO MAD

Why does every interaction you have with a service need to be followed up with a survey? After I'm done, I just want to be left alone.

Yes, my economic plan will cause short term pain. But after that you won't feel the pain anymore because you'll be dead

The average daily wage for people who work in prison is 86 cents. Seven states, all in the South, pay no wages for prison labor. boltsmag.org/the-past-and...

Alina Habbard posted: NOTHING CAN STOP THIS MAN FROM FIGHTING FOR HIS COUNTRY. David Simon had a succinct 2-word response: “Bone spurs.”

This is a reminder that 30% of California’s firefighters are inmates who are working in dangerous conditions for ~$2 per hour; many of which are not eligible for a job with the dept upon release despite having training & knowledge.

The gentleman who had to run from his home as it caught fire was beyond distraught but then firefighters rescued his cherished feline & carried his unscathed kitty to him & he collapsed on the sidewalk cradling his cat. That is love ❤️ beyond words.🥹

Yes. ❤️

Terry Pratchett's "Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socio-economic unfairness". The best quote I've ever read about why being poor can be so expensive.

All the anti-government MAGAs now screaming for the government to save them is revealing…👀

When you realize they're still predators under the thin veneer of civilization.

#CaliforniaFires Pray 🙏 for California 💔😖

Remember that California voted to keep legalized slavery for incarcerated people. Many of those fighting these fires are effectively modern day enslaved people. They're forced to risk their lives for their freedom.

PSA to my friends in California near the fires: breathing in wildfire smoke is really bad for you (even if it’s not super thick where you are) but if you have face masks (N95, KN95, etc) those can help a lot
