I wonder who was the source of this article describing Todd blanche’s behind-the-scenes efforts to push back on the craziest elements within trump’s DOJ, a laughable proposition for which he deserves no credit

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 2d

Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general and former head of President Trump’s criminal defense team, has helped usher in his retribution campaign. But he faces anger on the right for resisting some of the most extreme measures.

Lmao Yamamoto gave up a lead off homer on the first pitch then went for nine innings, two hits, and no runs.

Astead Herndon spent five months reporting this profile on Zohran Mamdani so he wouldn’t have to answer any questions about why he stopped reporting on candidate age after Biden dropped out.

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 2d

In the lead up to Election Day, Zohran Mamdani has engaged in a second primary of sorts, meeting quietly with New York City power brokers to consolidate support and box out his main rivals. Here’s the inside story of his rise. nyti.ms/3WCHy37

Tariffs have rapidly increased the price of coffee—a drink with almost no nutritional value and lots of functional substitutes. Yet coffee may also be the one thing Americans can’t live without, @elcush.bsky.social writes:

The Drink That Americans Won’t Give Up Without a Fight

Coffee has almost no nutritional value and lots of substitutes. It’s also, apparently, too important to lose.

The acting U.S. attorney who rightly resigned rather than be a party to trump’s corrupt effort to drop the criminal charges against Eric Adams is now a fellow at the Manhattan institute who has written an oped criticizing nyu law for cancelling an fedsoc event with Ilya Shapiro lmao

“Security concerns, real or fabricated, arise when a speaker promises to buck campus orthodoxy,” writes Danielle Sassoon. “That is precisely when universities need to stand up for debate.”

A principle is hollow if it’s not defended under pressure.

Guy who hates Netanyahu and got him sign the cease fire by being mean to him 👇

Adam Schwarz @adamjschwarz.bsky.social · 3d

Trump calls on the Israeli President to pardon Benjamin Netanyahu:

"Cigars and champagne - who the hell cares about it?"

Netanyahu is currently on trial for bribery, fraud, and breach of trust, including allegedly accepting 700,000 shekels (approx. $210,000) worth of luxury goods in bribes.

This is making me revise my rule that if you’re joining in the majority judgment, you should always write a concurrence to create the possibility that your doctrinal approach/pet theory becomes the law down the line: write a concurrence only if the majority issues a written opinion.

Malala’s Nobel didn’t result in long-term gender equality in Pakistan and Lech Walesa’s win may or may not have contributed to the fall of communism. Also, Aung San Suu Kyi facilitated a genocide. Lots of criticism to go around.
