Such judgmentalism. Who among us hasn’t done this from time to time? Hmm? Hmmm? Thought so.

I thought I was the only person who noticed this. Glad it’s not just me.

I want you guys to understand something. There aren't 65 million immigrants in this country, but there are 65 million Latinos.

They're using the same language and tactics they once used against Black people and Indigenous people.

This is ethnic cleansing.

I’d probably explain the functioning of a shower head to you, but it would probably just go over your head.

I wouldn’t tell anyone that I inherited a lozenge factory, but there would be whispers.

In case anyone is struggling with what happened last week, like I am, I’ve written ten ways we can take care of ourselves.

#1. Exercise. At a time like this when we can’t help but let our thoughts get carried away with themselves, we have to do what we can to get out of our own heads.

Serious questions for my friends who are partners at these firms:

- would you now take on a matter (paid or pro bono) that required you to be adverse to Trump?

- if Trump now demands you take a matter for him that was blatantly unconstitutional (say, defending no-process renditions), would you?

Alright, I think people knew of the tariff pause and traded it beforehand.

You can see before Trump posted "buy" on Truth Social, traders opened $QQQ $TQQQ and $SPY calls

RIGHT BEFORE THE NEWS, someone opened $SPY 509 calls, expiring TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those calls are up 2100% in one hour.

I lament that the Court appears to have embarked on a
new era of procedural variability, and that it has done so in
such a casual, inequitable, and, in my view, inappropriate
manner. See Department of Education v. California, 604
U. S. ___ , ___ (2025) (JACKSON, J., dissenting) (slip op., at
1–2). At least when the Court went off base in the past, it
left a record so posterity could see how it went wrong. See,
e.g., Korematsu v. United States, 323 U. S. 214 (1944). With
more and more of our most significant rulings taking place
in the shadows of our emergency docket, today’s Court
leaves less and less of a trace. But make no mistake: We
are just as wrong now as we have been in the past, with
similarly devastating consequences. It just seems we are
now less willing to face it.

An extraordinary separate dissent from Justice Jackson accuses the majority of trying to pass off its dirty work under the cover of the shadow docket and explicitly invokes Korematsu, the Japanese internment case. Wow. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Cybertruck, literally sunk: Musk in shock at what happened in California A Tesla Cybertruck, with its rather sleek look and heavy-duty features, somehow managed to wound up in at the bottom of water at the harbor.

A horcrux has fallen.

Arresting someone without charge, explanation, or due process to silence dissent is unconstitutional. This type of thing happens in dictatorships, not America.

You don’t have to agree with Mahmoud Khalil to defend his rightsβ€”if his freedoms can be taken by the Trump administration, so can yours.

Choose your (horrific) adventure: (1) the WH accidentally let an unapproved visitor from [checks notes] Russian state media into Oval near the President and the President of the sovereign nation that it had invaded; or (2) the WH intentionally let this rep from Russia State media & then lied.

It Was an Ambush Today marked one of the grimmest days in the history of American diplomacy.

Tom Nichols in The Atlantic: "The president of the United States ambushed a loyal ally, presumably so that he can soon make a deal with the dictator of Russia to sell out a European nation fighting for its very existence."

I logged onto LinkedIn today expecting to see my feed filled with outrage from the lawyer connections I have – most of whom are former federal government attorneys who now work outside the federal government in private practice or in the private sector. Per a Tuesday Executive Order, /1
