The President, noting that, Pete Hegseth said the war was just beginning and he was say it complete, notes it could be both.

I now know how my students feel when I explain to my students how to write a persuasive exam answer in law school.

I never find this stuff cool because I occasionally shop at Walmart or the Dollar General and I cannot get to whole items without asking the Security Guard posted at the diaper aisle for a key.

My favorite Duke Law moment: apparently, Richard Nixon was also in the same class as the first female law student, and she noted in the Alumni Magazine, how big mad he was that she was number 1 in the class.

As a Duke Law graduate, everyday, I get up and say to myself: thank you, Non-Binary God that Stephen Miller did not go to law school at Duke Law; Richard Nixon, was enough, oh, Non-Binary God.

Don’t sleep on that Band either: they kept it moving through the entire take!

It was kind of nice when 3 people talked to each other on Bluesky.

The trucks are heading over to the Pentagon to make it the Quadrilateral as we speak.

We will now spend 500 million dollars renaming the Department of War, the Department of Short Term Excursion.

And it always had this stupid name: Homeland Security. The Boys were absolute correct to call their fascist villian: Homelander.

Totally insane to have Customs in DHs: logical place is a Department of Trade or Treasury.

And by the way, as we find ourselves in middle of the Naval War, there is no way that the valuable Coast Guard should be flying luxury deportation planes? Maybe, we should be guarding the Coast!

Why is Customs, an agency primarily there to collect taxes at the border, stuck with ICE and CPB?!

09.03.2026 20:09 β€” πŸ‘ 14    πŸ” 2    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

One of the reasons I keep saying: don’t fund ICE or CPB is the Democrats have to get out of the business of enabling the Republican’s disastrous mistakes. We have this insane agency because George W. Bush ignored a quite evident terrorist attack.

D: When I screaming to the top of my lungs at the DOGE Incursions, little did I know calling them Feral DOGE Babies would be accurate.

A: At one point, he just starts going: marginalized…Jewish…women, like he is hallucinating.
B: Under his definition of β€œinherently discriminatory” any focus on any group (including white women) that is not a white man is discriminatory.
C: Whew…

My general sense, though, in every investigation so far, is initial statements by law enforcement have proven to be wildly inaccurate at best and actively defamatory at worst.

You could be right! We don’t know because there are no authoritative investigations right now. Everything is cloaked in mystery.

3/He does think (incorrectly), DEI had has something to do with β€œmerit” (I.e., if DEI no merit), which is rich in irony b/c these grants were peer reviewed in a competitive merit process.

2/I would also note in designing interactions with A.I., how you ask it the question is determinative: so, if you feed it a question without determining a key term, it is an invalid search.

1/ I want to note the term β€œdiversity, equity and inclusion” was not actually defined in a coherent way in the E.O. on DEI (a point now now noted by multiple federal courts), and you can see here the danger of poorly written executive orders.

As I note down on the feedβ€”I could be wrong and would be happy to admit I was wrong…if it was proven in a fair and complete investigation.

You are probably not wrong about that. I am gonna lawyer, though.

I did say, misguiding at best and actively defamatory at worst, so I think we agree, no? Actively defamatory is lawyer-speak for outright lies about them and their beliefs and lies about how they were murdered.

And I want to note here: I could be wrong about the order of the shots, but we don’t know because it is not being investigated at all.

Loud and proud of the Duke Basket team (and pretty quiet about Stephen Miller). :)

You have to see Lauren Boebert’s releasing of Hillary Clinton’s photo in the same way. Look boss, I may have voted for release of the Epstein Files, but I am loyal (I am humiliating Hillary!) Everybody is performing for an audience of one.
