Rufo called me a groomer and sent his audience after my family because I said I was fine with my daughter going to therapy. CPS got called. It took months to get rid of them. My former colleagues thought it was hilarious and did nothing.

There’s not a word in this story about the corrupt nature of this dismissal. Not a concern voiced, not a question raised, not even an acknowledgment that he’s the president’s biggest donor and he’s acting as an unelected, unconfirmed tyro wielding unchecked power over spending and the civil service.

About 19,000 people are sentenced to federal prison for drug trafficking each year. Many, many more are charged and convicted in state courts. For this math to hold up, the U.S. would be losing tens of millions of people per year to drugs. Overdose deaths are high, but not even close to that.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Look if they're willing to pay for eggs to do this they deserve to have their fun.

Did not know Seila Law stood for the proposition that Paul Clement must be appointed as court-appointed amicus any time the government sides with the party opposite.

Giggling right now

The fact that this needs to be said by a state's high court (New Mexico) in 2025 is alarming.

NEW: One of Sean Combs’s lawyers filed a motion to withdraw as counsel overnight, raising attorney-client privilege and asserting in an affidavit that “under no circumstances can I continue to effectively serve as counsel for Sean Combs, consistent with the ABA Standards for Criminal Justice.”

NEW: San Francisco AIDS Foundation leads a group of nonprofits suing Trump and others over anti-trans, anti-diversity EOs. @lambdalegal.bsky.social is representing the groups, who are seeking to have the orders and efforts to implement them declared "unlawful and unconstitutional."

give them no peace. shout at the ratfuckers every time they dare to show their slimy little faces. make them hide in their bunkers and plot their twisted schemes in the darkness and with never a breath of fresh air except when they're willing to confront the American People, who they are robbing.

Y’all are going to lose your audience before you lose your funding.

LITERALLY EVERY FBI DIRECTOR HAS BEEN A REPUBLICAN. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

Well it’s not typical for the President to impound Congressionally appropriated funds, so…

i think it is cool that de facto first consul of the united states is a drug-addled maniac and deadbeat dad with a breeding fetish

Judge Ali now (and, below, me earlier this afternoon):

My stomach tries to kill me if I eat foods that have food in them.

*stares in historian*

Calling yourself a king doesn’t make you a king. Being the heir of Isildur, and being crowned in the Pelennor Fields outside the Othram of Minas Tirith, thereby reuniting the Kingdoms of Gondor and Arnor, makes you a king.

gravedigger of american democracy. a more malign influence than john c calhoun.

Extraordinary story the Wall Street Journal. X is threatening advertisers that if they don’t spend more, Elon Musk will use his influence in government to block company mergers. That’s extortion.

Did I win? I feel like I won.

Being an economist doesn't save you from being an know-nothing ideologue and, frankly, an idiot.

An Originalism problem: I often think about Naomi Wolf. Wolf, quite notoriously, misunderstood that “death recorded” in British law meant a convict was executed. She erroneously took this to believe sodomy convictions ended in death, but it was a pro forma label. Now, imagine I’m a T20 law prof…

“I am a king and my will is law” isn’t a clever distraction from what he’s doing, it’s the central underlying justification for everything he’s doing.

“That would kill a Victorian child” Victorian children were taking opium mixed with alcohol for a sore throat, I think they’d survive Doritos.

Oh yes, Homer’s famous “Tes Thdpssssps.” 👍🏻

I … cannot deal with this one tonight, but y’all should see it. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Breaking: The Federalist Society quickly reboots as the Royalist Society.

He’s calling himself “the king” because he’s hoping we believe him. Don’t believe him.

And his name is Mattxiv

Fuck yes

1-2 The Chairman of Denmark's Defence Committee, Rasmus Jarlov: "America has taken no casualties in Ukraine. They have paid 4% of the US defence budget for one year and that was too much for them. So now they will surrender to Russia."

ATTN: Since the White House only posted the Fact Sheet of his ~only the president and AG can say what the law is~ EO, I moved the email of the actual EO, which was sent to the press list from the Office of Communications, into a PDF and posted it.

I *truly* wonder if this would have come out the same in D.C., under Ed Martin. (Note: This is in Knoxville, Tennessee.)
