This is a case the US Government cited favourably in 2025.

Kind of thought refusing to release innocent people while simultaneously continuing to pardon guilty people might cause a bigger stir in the press.

I’m no economist, but we’re orders of magnitude more productive than in pre-industrial society, and yet we’re told we can’t afford to look after one another any more. I just want someone to explain to me how that adds up.

Buried lede: government is getting rid of requirements on Treasury to consider wellbeing.

The house has passed a ban on coverage of gender care for all ages under Medicaid, CHIP and ACA plans. I don't know what to say to anyone this morning other than that the hundreds of thousands of people who are about to lose access to the care they need to stay alive deserve better than silence.

I keep getting asked if it’s legal to spend our campaign funds on food drives or our high school public service grants and the answer is YES. It is. Politicians and Democratic organizations need to use their coffers to help people NOW and fill in the gaps that Trump has created.

It feels wilfully obtuse to pretend there aren’t malign forces trying to stop governments from doing good things. It’s hardly a conspiracy theory when they barely hide it.

The presumption of innocence includes the presumption that the cop is probably lying.

@lawdorknews.bsky.social Hi, could I please appeal this block from your other account? This was intended to be a humorous copypasta of Matt’s assessment of himself. I appreciate that wasn’t obvious from context. I would greatly miss the ability to read your skeets on current cases.

Talk to the HAND. And by HAND, I mean Have A Nice Day.

I was watching this comedy video and just started crying. It’s so garbage that YouTube is literally incentivising more AI slop. Stop the train, I want to get off. youtu.be/dGA6sVaGveU?...
