Given today's dual rulings by judges in Massachusetts and Rhode Island on SNAP benefits, it seems appropriate to re-up my examination this month of how New England's federal courts have become key litigation venues for opponents of Trump's policies. bsky.app/profile/nate...

Based on what I’ve seen of him lately, Mitch McConnell probably doesn’t know what time it is (or day or year, etc). But still, broken clocks and blind squirrels and all the rest.

I renovated the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House. It was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era. I did it in black and white polished Statuary marble. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!

By a vote of 51-47, the #Senate invoked cloture on the nomination of Joshua D. Dunlap to be US Circuit Judge for the First Circuit.

This was a party line vote with Senators Schmitt and Wicker did not vote.

If I were Susan Collins' press secretary, I'd fit her with a shock collar set to go off if she ever uttered the word "concerned".

Yes, the whole court (16D to 13R) vote on whether to grant rehearing, but some random 11-judge subset will actually rehear the case.

BREAKING: The full Ninth Circuit vacates last week’s 2-1 order granting DOJ a stay of the district court’s TRO in the case over Trump’s National Guard effort in Oregon. The court will rehear DOJ’s stay request w an 11-judge panel.

Today’s order means Judge Immergut’s TRO remains in effect for now.
