This mismatch is not just a technicality. It suggests that DOJ issued the subpoena first and searched for a justification second. No legitimate investigation would demand thousands of patient records from an entity that cannot, by definition, commit the violations being investigated. DOJ’s inability to articulate why it is investigating QueerDoc specifically—beyond noting it is a “prominent” Case 2:25-mc-00042-JNW Document 27 Filed 10/27/25 Page 13 of 16 ORDER - 14 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 provider—confirms that QueerDoc was targeted for what it does (provide genderaffirming care) rather than how it does it (through any unlawful means).2

Here's an important one that slipped by on Monday.

Fed. judge quashes DOJ subpoena seeking the personal health data of trans patients as "prosecutorial coercion" and "for an improper purpose," namely, intimidating trans people and their medical providers.

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

If the President can raise his own revenues and direct his own spending without congressional approval we are squarely in the only situation the Constitution was actually drafted to avoid: English civil war territory

i keep saying this but what i hate most about the ezra kleins of the world is their insistence is that politics is about messaging and triangulating. its never about offering a compelling vision of the world, its about trying desperately to capitulate to whatever moment we are in

(final thought as i'm swiftly slain by a band of ninja assassins) kind of a crazy amount of ninjas to hire for this

We went to see the local witch, about the sheep you see, and she offered the whole crew a drink when we arrived. I said "I'll do fine without your fiendish brew magic woman", but now it seems like they were just beers. The vibe is pretty loose and fun, I keep finding myself eyeing the fridge.

Finding religion simply to know with certainty that Lee Zeldin will suffer justice proportional to his monstrous deeds

imo, if someone believes some races or ethnicities are genetically inferior to others, that person has revealed a weakness of mind and character that casts extreme if not irrefutable doubt on their other ideas. why would i expect them to use more rigor on, eg, housing than they do on human nature?

Most people aren't naturally cool so the median candidate is probably better off just having convictions and acting like it instead of trying to manufacture coolness in vain, but I don't know if they see it that way

The Expensive, Seductive Strategy That Doomed the Democratic Party During the Reagan revolution, Democrats settled on a new way to win—and it’s destroying them now.

this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it.

- Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders.

- Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

I hate our stupid government not letting us get Chinese electric cars

The town has this really fast chicken, the rule is that anybody who can catch it is the mayor for the next year. It's a great system, other than for Peter. Peter's really good at catching the chicken, but he's a real piece of work. So we keep Peter in the jail.

there isnt a worse nation on this earth right now than us. openly corrupt, brutally repressive, mindlessly violent, belligerent and addicted to vice signaling. and we do it at breathtaking scale in a massive nation with 350M people. impressive

The word silhouette is derived from the name of Étienne de Silhouette, a French finance minister who, in 1759, was forced by France's credit crisis during the Seven Years' War to impose severe economic demands upon the French people, particularly the wealthy.[3] Because of de Silhouette's austere economies, his name became synonymous with anything done or made cheaply and so with these outline portraits.[4][5] Prior to the advent of photography, silhouette profiles cut from black card were the cheapest way of recording a person's appearance.[6][7]

A female Western Gull was recorded riding 150km in a garbage truck from San Francisco to a compost facility in Central CA, probably to forage. TWICE. An innovator, an icon, a genius.

I appreciate the enthusiasm and their hearts are in the right place, but letting your invasive plant-filled lawn “go wild” without maintenance or care is not habitat restoration.
