In fairness to Trash Patel, he is far less dangerous to the United States when he’s on a drunken boondoggle than when he’s pretending to do his job.

ICE whistleblower Ryan Schwank, a former ICE instructor and attorney, testifies that agents were trained to disregard constitutional rights.

If Forced to Choose, Our Military Leaders Should Follow the Law Not the President—Like Ulysses S. Grant The choices the Civil War general faced can inform how they ought to conduct themselves in these perilous times

Grateful that @theunpopulist.net gave me full sail on the history of Grant during the constitutional crisis:

You magnificent bastard.

I see what ya did there. Thank you.

Together? Desperate times, desperate measures!

I thought this was the best description ever:

I mean at this point might as well eat some great pasta, pick up some suits and shoes, get special access to the Last Supper and Milan Cathedral, just revel in the total impotence of congressional Republicans.

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

This is stealing. He's stealing money from the American people to go party in Italy. This is fucking public corruption and should be treated as such.

TACO Tuesday comes early in the airport security line

If you’re feeling a bit down, simply recall that the earth has been around for something like 4 1/2 billion years, & yet somehow you exist at the same time as the Margarita.

HAPPY MARGARITA DAY!

I don't feel qualified to evaluate how well an opinion mirrors authentic originalism because I think originalism is already inauthentic. It's like asking me if THESE reiki crystals are REAL reiki crystals. Skip me with that bullshit and leave it for FedSoc's Chick-Fil-A bag lunches.

Gov. Pritzker's letter to Donald Trump demanding a refund on tariffs.

Cut the check, Donald Trump.

Goodness, things might get a wee bit testy at the upcoming State of the Union.

Kristi Noem remains laser-focused on the things American taxpayers want: (1) Kidnapping innocent people off their streets; (2) Using their money for private planes with elaborate bedrooms for her fornications, and (3) bespoke garments taxpayers could never afford for civil servants.

I'm happy to share that not only is the Tulane-Siena program back for another year, this summer there is a new opportunity to join us for one week (June 8-12) for classes in provenance research and related cultural heritage law with Patty Gerstenblith and me.

Normalize arresting people who would be kings for their involvement with Jeffrey Epstein’s pedophile ring

So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.

Emmer: Now, they want judicial warrants. The administrative warrant is already the same thing.

Administrative warrants are hall passes written by the bad kids at school

Imagine having so much diarrhea between your ears that you think this is a clever point.

‪Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Welcome to the Plutocracy

The Trump administration, back turned and eyes averted from the truth about Epstein.

HELL NO, we’re not.

Invoking wealthy class solidarity to excuse sex crimes against children is sorta the Epstein Class in a nutshell

I've said it before and I'll say it again: all sports would be more entertaining if periodically the competitors had to stop, pull a rifle from their backs, do some target practice, and then continue with their sport. Not just the obvious ones like the marathon, but like curling and basketball too.
