A Judge Made Trump Officials Investigate Themselves. They Came Back With a Stunning Admission. The office had violated at least 56 court orders since December alone.

They confessed to lying to ONE SINGLE COURT more than 50 times in just the past TWO MONTHS. slate.trib.al/BIMQFam

The message from the DOJ is unmistakable: Justice is no longer the objective.

Retribution is.

"I've never protested before in my entire life, but, uh [chokes up, apologizes], I watched fourth and fifth grade kids run away from our own government. I never want to see that again."

A tweet from Acyn about RFK Jr. and Kid Rock promoting an HHS initiative encouraging healthy eating and exercise, comparing it to Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign. The screenshot shows a CNN segment with a graphic reading “Eat Healthy” and “Get Active.”

Gee, I wonder why they went after Michelle Obama so hard on this?

And the thing is that they NEED it to be the only technology that matters

The growth-at-all-costs model is cancer and generative AI is the purest example of it. They need to eat all the resources they can get, all the investment, just to keep it afloat. They need other technologies to be starved

It has never been cited in a law review. Imagine my delight.

Found the very first regulation of native born subjects in the UK Archives. It’s over 700 years old. And I’m going to visit her next month.

There is a venn diagram of "We need to believe that AI can develop a real consciousness," "I now adhere to a truly bizarre health routine" and "I need all the money possible and I need it just for me," and at the center of it is "I am terrified of dying and I don't know how to fix that"

I REVIEWED @tkingfisher.com's WOLF WORM. I gave it five stars. Five really, really grossed out stars.

tweet from @cliftonhowze on twitter Last night at the #DataCenters meeting in Claremore, Darren Blanchard, who has attended most of these meetings around NE Oklahoma & has some pretty impressive FOIA/ORA skills, was arrested after going over his 3 min. allotted speaking time. First arrest I've seen at one of these.

in america, if you go over your 3 minute allotment to speak, men with guns come to take you away.

Andrew released under investigation.

Today, here in Tennessee — Gino Bulso’s attack on marriage equality passed the house. Advocates warn his goal is to overturn Obergefell.

Bulso told us he would be glad to defend it in the Supreme Court, because of course he would.

Text reads: A story from the Goon show days: there was an undertaker near the studio and during a break in rehearsals Sellers and Milligan wandered in to reception. Milligan lay down on the floor and Sellers pinged the bell on the counter and called out “Shop!”

Someone with a connection to Angela Morley read my book and got in touch with this anecdote from when his dad and Angela played in the Goon Show band:

/2 Posting about this made me remember the tutorial. It was taught by as guy who was born, IIRC, near Fresno, and went to Davis and USC, but had acquired a very plummy English accent living in London. It required significant self-control not to smirk.

As someone who took a tutorial on comparative US-UK law for Hilary Term in 1990, I can speak as an expert on Prince Andrew’s arrest

Very amusing (agonisingly irritating) that the Americans keep on pointing at the UK and claiming we’ve got our shit together and have a good sense of justice.

Please read… I don’t know, anything?

BREAKING: Taylor Rehmet was just sworn in as the first rank-and-file union member to serve in the Texas Senate.

Senator Rehmet is a beacon of hope not just for Texas, but for every union member and worker in the state. This is a huge win for Texas workers!

A Houston judge told a jury that "beyond a reasonable doubt" can be as low as "60 percent." This morning the 14th Court of Appeals reversed my client's conviction because of that comment. #appellatesky

This is *so* my thing. This wouldn't be more my thing if I had designed it myself! I need to play this game right now!

What Are Heterodox Free Speech Warriors Doing About Trump's Censorship-Industrial Complex? Nada Trump is issuing subpoenas demanding social media platforms hand over data about ICE protesters but the 'Twitter Files' agitators couldn't care less

In the midst of the most aggressive and alarming federal assault on the First Amendment since the Palmer raids, the Biden-era free speech warriors have focused their outrage on . . . the injustice of releasing the Epstein files.

I keep thinking what this expression reminds me of, and I just worked it out

Still, flea-free socks for a while, eh?

Why isn’t the biggest tax increase in more than three decades a bigger story? Donald Trump’s tariff scheme is burning up the middle class, yet the news media is baffled as to why middle-class Americans are mad at the president.

32. When you understand this double standard, you can see how the news media actually created conditions during the 2024 election in which some middle-class Americans unknowingly voted for their own immiseration.

And now they’re mad.

As proposed, Trump’s tariffs are a historic tax increase Politicians and economists said President Donald Trump’s "Liberation Day" tariff rollout amounted to a historic tax incr

30. The aligned interests of the Republicans and the billionaire owners of news media corporations is also why, no matter how loudly or how strenuously Democrats accuse Trump of implementing “the largest peacetime tax hike in US history,” the allegation rarely breaks through.

25. In addition to Trump’s lies, what prevents reporters from building a narrative about the largest tax increase since the late 20th century is a kind of cognitive dissonance. The story can’t be that big since it’s the anti-tax party that’s doing it.

23. But she wasn’t taken seriously, not as seriously as Trump would've been had their roles been reversed – if Harris had proposed a tax increase that keeps increasing. In that case, there would have been saturation coverage abt the peril of raising taxes in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis.
