Yesterday some lawyers were defending DOJ attorneys who refused to say whether any action was taken to unfreeze funds in compliance with the TRO. I wonder if people will be still be defending a brief this patently dishonest about the history of the case.

i'm gonna be honest, and i know it's sort of extreme, but I don't know how you keep working in that opinion section if you want to be treated as credible. Even subject matter aside--which is obviously ludicrous and propagandistic--you're just announcing that your work is Bezos Approved™️

They notably did not cover Dem victories on close votes like this in the Biden or Obama administrations. It was all "have Democrats signed their own death warrants by passing the hideously unpopular Obamacare?!"

There is a move that I expect the admin to make, and it’s worth anticipating. The move: Find an exception. Some statute, some prosecution, some suit somewhere that can’t be squared with the sweeping language that the Framers used. Then deny the rule. 1/2

My favorite Kurt Vonnegut quote--"you are what you pretend to be"--comes from Mother Night, a novel about an American spy who pretends to be a Nazi propagandist only to realize later in life he was just being a Nazi propagandist

Amazing lack of self-awareness from Clarence Thomas, who takes a dig at Oklahoma's attorney general for appointing a "personal friend and campaign donor" to review Glossip's case. I guess he has realized that friendships and money can influence personal judgment? www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

In the first Glossip, the conservatives were very catty that Glossip's lawyers were using gamemanship to keep their client alive. Well, that gamemanship not only saved the life of their client, it's going to get him out of prison.

HUGE: The Supreme Court sides with Richard Glossip, holding that prosecutors violated his constitutional rights by failing to correct false testimony at his trial. It directs the Oklahoma courts to vacate his conviction! www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Saw a cybertruck and my son asked why Elon Musk would think that looked good and I said "remember that drug they gave you at the hospital when you broke your arm, and you got scared and said everyone had 4 eyes? he takes that all the time"

Even accepting LLMs are capable of this task (lol, no), this is set up to fail, to create excuses for arbitrarily firing people. Nobody was told that was the query; you can't tell "mission-critical" from five bullet points; a snapshot of one week won't tell you that either; the list goes on and on.

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

Honestly, the framers weren't very explicit on a lot of things, but one thing they were explicit on was there would be no crimes of blood in the United States!

WaPo’s use of “unusual” further obscures the blunt racism of the white 3-star’s elevation. “Unusual” is a raised eyebrow; more accurately, this never happens. Until now. To replace a 4-star Black general w/ an undistinguished white 3-star ass-kisser.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Ok, we need a new James Bond AND a new Archbishop of Canterbury, and pretty soon it'll be time for another new Willy Wonka and a new Doctor Who. We need to economise. They should all be amalgamated into a single new character called Archdoctor Bondwonka.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

1. One note about Judge Ho appointing Paul Clement as amicus: When SCOTUS appoints amicus, they ask amicus to argue a particular position (one that neither party is advancing). Judge Ho's order, conversely, doesn't ask Clement to present a particular position.
