Robert De Niro is expressing his love and support for his daughter Airyn De Niro, after she recently shared publicly for the first time that she is transgender. cnn.it/3EY1msu

Doug Jones has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever, round 2

Good Lord. 4th Cir. (Judge Wilkinson writing): "We yet cling to the hope that it is not naïve to believe our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital to the American ethos." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Broken clock is right twice a day, pun intended

There are trans Americans right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am. We are. We will.

Everyone should read this powerful clarion call. And the entire Bar--especially major GOP-associated firms--should now step up and join Paul Clement, et al. (and Cooley and Williams & Connolly) in their powerful indictment of an unprecedented abuse of power. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Paul Clement, welcome to the Resistance?

Bravo. These kids are showing more spine and character than a lot of the people they work for.

This city is the greatest city in the world. It needs someone to lift it up and ferociously defend it, not another corrupt politician who slanders it as a menacing hellhole.

Rule of law status update: intact, barely…

man, if GOP House members think there are some pissed off people at their town halls now, wait till the first time Social Security checks don't go out on time

I prefer when America is run by Americans, not South Africans

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

In The Case for Proactive Bar Sanctions, 102 Texas L. Rev. 1135 (2024), I argue that state bar authorities must proactively initiate disciplinary proceedings against lawyers whose lies affect the administration of justice. I see no reason why the same shouldn’t apply to Alex Spiro’s conduct here

this is the obvious answer why are conservatives so concerned with the genitals of other peoples kids? why does ben shapiro think he knows more about this than the families going through it and the doctors that have spent a lifetime studying it

NEW: The board president of a small WV nonprofit says they haven't received their HHS funding since the Trump/Musk budget freeze. They had to lay off 3 of 5 employees on Friday. An 86-yr-old woman is counting on them to take her dialysis tomorrow. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Okay, let me rephrase… WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS WORLD WHERE LUKA DONCIC GETS TRADED FOR A 32YO AND ONE FIRST ROUND PICK??

TV ANCHOR: Economists agree that these tariffs are the worst trade news this centur-- *adjusts earpiece* Correction, we've just had word from Dallas

You have to swing at strikes, and the Administration is pitching a faschy perfect game

Anybody who actually knows gender nonconforming kids could tell you that they are some of the most courageous people in the world. Let’s hope the rest of us can rise to their standard.

For the Jews who think the attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion won’t impact them — make no mistake, they will. It’s not accidental that Holocaust Remembrance Day is included here.

Absolutely fucking depraved

The story of this first week is corruption. Billionaires seated on the inaugural stage in front of the cabinet, crypto pump and dump, and the illegal firing of IGs. The media is acting like this is too chaotic and bewildering to interpret, but they are just afraid of sounding shrill. It’s corrupt.

How is this not the biggest scandal in America right now? Isn’t this unprecedented?? Maybe Dems in the Senate should take a break from voting to confirm Trump nominees & condemn the guy who said he wanted Pelosi ‘hanged’ on Jan 6th, & also condemn the guy who just released him from prison! Sheesh.

This is happening to thousands of people fighting for their lives because in real life, government does a lot of good and important shit.

Courts did eventually end up sanctioning several lawyers after many years and many unnecessary, costly proceedings beforehand. State bars have the power to act far sooner to hold Big Liars to account: texaslawreview.org/the-case-for...
