- ngl, I would absolutely try this. i would regret it later and kick myself for falling for it... but i would totally try this.

- Good times, it seemed like we should.

- He plays his music in the suuuuuuuuuun.
- It would look like a populist fighting big corporations and big insurance and you know, those ‘conservative’ voters actually hate a lot of the same stuff Bernie Sanders and AOC do. Just absolutely false that what either of those two are fighting for is leftist.

- I’m firmly convinced we somehow shifted timelines and were on our way to the evil Star Trek universe
- By this logic, the President could declare any gang, anywhere in the world to be controlled by a foreign government and treat its alleged members as alien enemies subject to summary deportation. And judges would have to rubber-stamp that.
- JUST IN: A federal judge in Pennsylvania became the first to back President Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act, saying Trump's description of Tren de Aragua's "incursion" into the United States satisfies the AEA's definition. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

- Yet, this is basically what rational basis review is when it comes to Congress. The judiciary abdicating its responsibility to look under the hood and check if the facts match the law’s requirements l.

- Not to mention judicial fact-finding in Supreme Court decisions against the actual findings made in the district courts in those same cases, e.g. Kennedy v Bremington…
- Been a while since I posted something that flooded my mentions with really bad takes that required blocking. But the people coming out of the woodwork to suggest that *talking to the feds* is somehow good & righteous, as opposed to shutting the fuck up, is really trying my patience.

- Drew Ensign couldn’t even be bothered to spell check…

- You could tell he was so mad when he wrote Gonzales v. Raich because he hated Wickard v Filburn but he hated weed more.
- I want everybody to have healthcare….but not like that. I want things to be better….but not too much. Passionately held beliefs inspire people more than wishy washy moderation. And remember, the barely attached people who voted for Trump were inspired by a belief he would change things.
- Every Republican administration in my lifetime has been associated with a white collar crime spree but usually it’s not this blatant.
- From @reuters.com: The FBI ordered agents on Monday to step up the amount of time they devote to immigration enforcement and to scale back investigating white-collar crime. Some offices will spend a third of their time doing immigration work, a huge shift. www.reuters.com/world/us/fbi...

- Every leftist has a story about someone discussing Marxism during sex. It’s a right of passage.
- Lots of people talking about this, but, uh... not enough people are talking about his willingness to talk without a lawyer present.
- “The reason they’re doing [this] is to try to create an environment of fear, to try to get people like myself... to shut the fuck up,” Piker said on a stream recounting the details of the incident. www.usermag.co/p/hasan-pike...

- If not for the CRB, I’d doubt the removability of the Librarian. I can’t think of any other executive function of the LoC. Copyright registration is essentially ministerial. The original legislation creating the library had presidential appointment without Senate confirmation.
- Which means the founding generation did not consider the position to be a principal officer.
- Of course, neither were a bunch of other places DOGE thought they could show up to.

- They aren’t? Noms.
- I hadn't heard of the SIFT toolbox before. It's a prompt you can load into a GenAI model that will allow it to be used for fact checking. Highly recommend reading this and then looking at the prompt.

- I’m so so sorry. Losing a beloved pet is difficult.
- The level of corruption here is off the scale. Presidential gifts literally become the property of the United States. Virtually never do any pass to the President. And that’s not even the security or other aspects why this is crazy.
- Listening to Paul Clement speaking at a dinner at the Supreme Court. Living in DC is pretty cool at times…
- Highlight: Clement spoke about this moment in time and about the importance of an independent bar who can speak truth to power. There are a lot of people in positions of great power who understand the job ahead of us.

- I’ve been meaning to run this down to see if it’s real or not. If so, might not have to.
- This is wonderful. I knew many parts of this but seeing the cohesive whole was eye opening.
- If Democrats regain power, they had better amend 42 USC 1983 to include federal officials in its scope. Government officials should feel consequences for lawlessness.

- Zero to date suggests anything immigration related is operating in good faith.
- The works are the faith. It’s putting into action the words and works of Jesus Christ. It’s understanding that actions speak louder than words.

- I’m now determined to go find the children’s section.
- The suspension clause is Article I and that is one power no single person should ever have.
- This wouldn’t be the first time conservatives took an idea and completely reversed it to serve their own purposes.
- It would be pretty nice if the Supreme Court would rule in the MSPB and NLRB cases at some point before the government is completely dismantled.
- Fuck. Yeah.
