i spent a little while going through the AIDS quilt and picked out a few panels that stuck out to me for one reason or another. may the memories of all these beautiful, far too young souls be a blessing.

Exclusive: Vanity Fair expected to let Olivia Nuzzi’s contract lapse, insiders say Just weeks after Vanity Fair published an excerpt of Olivia Nuzzi’s book, it’s increasingly unlikely she’ll be a fixture on its print masthead.

I look fantastic in a suit, and I can actually write. Just putting that out there.

Ecuadorian family prepares to self-deport, despite having open trafficking case “To be here, to be mistreated … we’re already traumatized,” Juan David Quichimbo said.

“The question is how legally enforceable is a sticky note.”

Great reporting by @sweetadelinevt.bsky.social.

This story highlights something I’ve thought about a lot lately — how “undocumented” so often doesn’t mean what many of us think. www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...

So just a selfie of every BlueSky user?

A DHS spokesperson said workers who publicly signed the Katrina Declaration "were wrongly and without authorization reinstated by bureaucrats acting outside their authority."

As one whistleblower lawyer put it: "I've never seen a retraction on a retraction like this."

In the United States Court of Appeals For the Eleventl Circuit No. 23-12160 HM FLORIDA-ORL, LLC, Plaintiff-Appellee, GOVERNOR OF FLORIDA, et al., Defendants, SECRETARY OF THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL REGULATION, Defendant-Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida D.C. Docket No. 6:23-cv-00950-GAP-LHP USCA11 Case: 23-12160 Document: 105-1 Date Filed: 12/01/2025 Page: 2 of 2 2 Order of the Court 23-12160 Before William Pryor, Chief Judge, Jordan, Rosenbaum, Jill Pryor, Newsom, Branch, Grant, Luck, Lagoa, Brasher, Abudu, and Kidd, Circuit Judges. BY THE COURT: A petition for rehearing having been filed and a member of this Court in active service having requested a poll on whether this appeal should be reheard by the Court sitting en banc, and a majority of the judges in active service on this Court having voted in favor of granting rehearing en banc, IT IS ORDERED that this appeal will be reheard en banc. The panel's opinion is VACATED.

BREAKING: Full Eleventh Circuit will rehear the challenge to Florida’s anti-drag law, vacating an earlier 2-1 panel opinion that blocked the law.

Due to the fact that no court has stayed the district court’s order, as of now at least, the law remains blocked during the en banc rehearing.

Wait, she was D. B. Cooper?

I cannot recommend following and reading my dear friend Joshua Eaton enough. He has accolades aplenty, but it’s the substance of his work that matters. Here’s an example.

You're too kind, John-la!

I’m no expert on this. But something I’ve been wondering about a lot lately is how these boat strikes do and don’t differ from longrunning drone programs on land.

JSOC and SEAL Team 6 have spent a decade-plus orchestrating drone strikes on land, including when Bradley was the Team 6 commander overseeing Somalia/Yemen strikes—and reattacks to kill survivors, who in a land context are not as categorically hors de combat as at sea, were routine during them:

Appeals Court Says Alina Habba Is Unlawful U.S. Attorney

Sorry to be a broken record but it's nuts to me that the New York Times would write an entire article summarizing a court ruling and refuse to provide a link to said ruling. This is a disservice to readers. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/01/n...

Here's the ruling: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

As explained further below, however, your status as an inferior officer under Article II of the Constitution renders you an “at-will” employee, and your removal is beyond the purview of Title VII. Regarding your client’s claim that her employment as an Immigration Judge was terminated, this decision was a lawful exercise of the Attorney General’s authority under Article II of the Constitution. Article II of the Constitution allows the President and heads of departments exercising his power to remove inferior officers without cause, subject to only narrow exceptions that do not apply to your former position. No statute provides otherwise, and even if it did, the statute would run afoul of Article II.

DOJ says immigration judges, as "inferior officers," may be fired on the basis of sex, religion, race, or national origin. Leaving aside the law, it's *politically* remarkable they're taking this position.

This was awful, but it’s very unfair to imply it’s typical of the press pool. It was a scandal even within the pool itself for a reason.

Look on the bright side: Eventually, entropy will settle the universe somewhere around absolute zero.

Right?! Any time they try to turn one anecdote into a morality play, complete with posed photos of someone staring pensively into the middle distance.
