Comey, James, Bolton indicted. Should you care? Comey, James, Bolton indictments / Texas book-banning struck down / vanished Democratic candidate in the race

Maybe don't freak out TOO much about Trump going after all his political enemies - if only because Trump fired all the good lawyers

How the Supreme Court taught Trump to rewrite history "He who controls the present controls the past."

"So if you’re wondering where Trump learned the trick of recasting American history as uniquely belonging to him, look no further than the current Supreme Court’s manipulation of the core legal principle of stare decisis." - @matthewwollin.bsky.social

It warms my lawyerly heart to see the Trump team’s utter incompetence as lawyers stop him in his tracks every once in a while.

SHOULD YOU CARE... about Jimmy Kimmel getting suspended? Jimmy Kimmel vs FCC / Delaware and free speech / Eric Adams takes on horses

It turns out that when you jettison the idea that our politicians are actually pursuing some greater ideological goal, what is left is...well, a man in a suit doing stuff.

Jimmy Kimmel becoming the face of First Amendment rights in the US was not something that I had on my 2025 bingo card.

For whatever reason, the Supreme Court seems like it has decided that it is their job to throw chaos into the US legal system. For my money, that’s not just bad politicsβ€”it’s bad lawyering.

SHOULD YOU CARE... about RFK Jr in the Senate? RFK Jr in the senate / Harvard wins against Trump / simple games for me only

1) this was from a couple of weeks ago but still thinking about how β€œone of the key tools of despots is not only the deprivation of our legal rights, but the deprivation of our intellectual ones” 2) is it weird to quote your own writing
