Panthers coach Paul Maurice on if there's any similarities in the way the Capitals play systematically to how the Panthers play:

Ask yourself why the US president is specifically and explicitly promising to crush law firms bringing suits against the government related to “election integrity”. The other co-equal branches of our government still have time to protect our constitutional order. They have less time every day.

You know it’s a lawyer when the crying is in tenths of an hour

I like how he implies that previously people only liked Tesla because they were programmed to

The DOJ has concerns about the rule of law, huh

There's something grimly ironic about Trump, whose criminal guilt was quite clear based on public information, managing to land in the White House rather than a prison cell thanks to dragging out Due Process, now handwaving process away and assuming the right to brand criminals by fiat.

Mission accomplished!

The bad news is that Chuck Schumer is not up for re-election until 2028. The good news is that he can resign right now—in fact, he should do that twice.

Highmore 👋 ✋ Bye more

they fired the guy who said it would be a bad idea

I did not but we all should

I know this is extremely vulgar idealism, but I do think we should try to aggressively reassert the norm that lying is bad. Not in a "Four Pinnochios" fact-checking kind of way, but in a way that frames this kind of lying as moral degeneracy that is fundamentally corrosive to the human spirit.

So Texas is collecting $40M from a Medicaid investigation but also cut 2/3 of the attorneys that investigate Medicaid fraud… wonder how this plays out over time www.beckerspayer.com/payer/molina...

This presumes anyone with the ability to change things cares about looking like an idiot, which they demonstrably do not

Can’t believe Twitter keeps crashing despite Elon hiring the best 19-year-old interns that racism has to offer

I know what you’re thinking: We should mirror the United States government based on how this website is run.

Alert for D.C. bar members. - please take note of Diane Seltzer’s candidacy. She is running against Pam Bondi’s brother Brad Bondi for President of the D.C. bar. Voting begins in April. Pls make your voice heard.

Will Smith is ~.5 points per game and was the allegedly more talented BC draft pick in 2023; Eller is barely hanging on. Both seem like optimistic bets but additional eggs were very expensive so fuck it we ball.

Try this one simple trick to stop your federal antitrust investigation

utterly fucking astounding that any Dem would look at what’s happening and think that giving this administration sweeping new authority to prosecute speech on the internet is a good idea

Damn. Not wrong. But damn.

Every time a career lawyer is pushed out, you can assume they were told to do something illegal.

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

1. Short everything 2. Announce tariffs 3. Close out short positions 4. Buy the dip 5. Call off the tariffs 6. Sell the spike 7. Repeat Is there any reason to believe Trump's entire inner circle isn't doing this?

Please just call them “bribes” and let’s be honest here

Wow can't believe there's a loss in productivity from sending every employee an email demanding they drop everything to recount what they did, with their job on the line. Totally unforeseeable, so long as you're a nepobaby who has never done a day of real work in your life.

No, this is the most ashamed you've felt as an American *so far*.

Not since Prohibition have so many Americans wanted to commit the same crime at once

People who wasted time and money on law school gotta be feeling something reading things like this

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"

Sure wish he would have remembered to cover the Canadian in the slot the other night!
