This is not about A.G. James, who sure seems to be innocent of what they're trying to say she did.

But as a general matter, under this DOJ, ham sandwiches have never been safer.

And then it turns off your old "categories," which are often helpful.

Their bullying of us through their system is take-it-or-leave-it and it's awful.

Just for record, AG, you could never actually disappoint me except in an over-the-top comical way. πŸ––

Another great episode; thank you, you and Andy. (Even if he thinks I'm a "she." It's all good.)

Please tell Ms. McCord that there is no such thing as a bad "doggie podcast audio bomb"and at least this regular listener will always enjoy them. However, you will need to introduce Gigi as your *other* wonderful co-host.

I'm changing careers and studying for a new career as a Big Cat veterinarian.

All those leopards eating all those faces can lead to obesity, and I want to help.

This is awesome.

My dad took me to my first game, at the Forum, in 1970. I was six. Hooked for life. The Kings beat Montreal. Rogie was in goal. For the Habs.

I cherish the memory of the games with him.

This was awesome.

And that's still true even after the "Secretary of Education" started promoting steak sauce. Hegseth is *still* worse.

Teslas still more expensive than eggs, but they break much more easily.

Watch for the government's next argument: "it's not 5pm yet in El Salvador, and since he's totally *their* prisoner and not ours..."

I'm trying to help a client with a copyright violation claim against a Twitter user who posted a stolen video...unlike yours, this really *is* a copyright violation...crickets. Zero help. They're totally useless now.

Skiing makes sense, though. His poll numbers are also going downhill very fast.

@weissmann11.bsky.social From this week's episode of "Main Justice," I think you and Ms. McCord may want to see this old cartoon, which somehow I had in the recesses of my memory and went and found online...

I have learned a lot from you, and I will continue to learn a lot from you wherever you choose to land.

It's a privilege to be able to follow you--wherever you go from here. (And not just because you once promised on That Other Website to wave hello to Silliman for me on a visit to New Haven.). Yours is an important voice.

He's going to go full, arrogant, "you can't touch me" Roy Cohn, isn't he?

Why does "Canada" even have a team in this NHL international tournament? I thought they are now our 51st State.

(I'm kidding. Trump is a putz.)

Does eating ice cream count?

I mean...it's cold., so I feel less heat, right?

I say eating ice cream counts. I'm on it.

If I could find a way to get them to you all the way there, I would do it yesterday. But I have a sense that you would not get the correct experience (or anything resembling structural integrity)...

I am 100% certain that you deserve celestial peace.

And those local tacos near me here, as promised, someday. But for now...the celestial peace.

This is one small step from "if you have any black employees, we're done with you. And there had better not be any women executives, either."

And in my case it's now Gibson, who has become a raging racist and antisemite (I suppose he always was, it's just that until a few years ago he was quieter about it.)

But I had to spend two years telling people I'm not related to Sidney Powell, too.

Conscience and backbone. You get a separate little ticket for each, not that any of them has ever come back to reclaim either.

This time it won't be a metaphor.
