Unlike Lindsay Halligan, I’m an experienced and ethical lawyer so, unlike her, I know both that nothing you say to a journalist is off the record unless they explicitly tell you it is, and also that signing your name to a pleading certifies that there is a colorable legal and factual basis for it.
You are a journalist. Lindsey Halligan is not, however, a prosecutor.
Bar counsel needs to start disciplining these people who are knowingly acting in violation of legal authority. Halligan must be smart enough to know her own appointment was invalid. So is Habba. They should be disbarred for purporting to act under an illegitimate “authority.” (Also for the lying.)

No kings. No nazis.

This should be the message of every single Democrat from here out.
EXCLUSIVE: Embattled Trump nominee Paul Ingrassia told Republicans that the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday should be “tossed into the seventh circle of hell” and that he has “a Nazi streak,” according to a group chat viewed by POLITICO.
Trump nominee says he has a ‘Nazi streak,’ bashes MLK Jr. Day, according to texts

The longer the govt is shut down the more people get their renewals, and the more people who aren't already convinced will realize that the Republicans are lying that it's about Healthcare for undocumented immigrants.

Also this bill is impossible
Just receieved this today from Florida Blue. This is for a Bronze plan. Our monthly premiums are going from $333 (2025) to $2300 in 2026.

"The evil Jew is funding the entire US left" is a piece of rank, obvious antisemitism that we have just collectively decided to accept in public, because IOKYR.
Ernst: "I think it is extremely important that we look at who is funding these protests. We have to get to the bottom of this. It could be the usual suspect -- George Soros."

It already seems surreal that people were fired for accurately quoting Charlie Kirk. Like, that really happened?

Conservatives don’t know what satire is, it’s a word Rush Limbaugh taught them to say whenever they can’t justify or defend something bsky.app/profile/atru...
Q: What does it say that president released a video of him pooping on the American people?

MIKE JOHNSON: You can argue he's probably the most effective person who has ever used social media. He's using satire to make a point. He's not calling for the murder of his political opponents.

The entire "free speech on campus" moral panic was manufactured to blackmail us into making space in intellectual life for bigots and charlatans who couldn't get there on their own merits. Its a DEI scheme for fascism. Congratulations to everyone who took it at face value.
“Following his lecture, Yarvin will debate the legendary British historian David Starkey on history and the future of conservatism.” Everything about this is so cursed. Masks off at the University of Oxford.

If the administration had a good story to tell on the law and the facts, they would be telling it.
Now that Trump has illegally bombed a seventh boat in the Caribbean, please note this: Rep Adam Smith, ranking Dem on Armed Services, tells me that *at no point* have officials given lawmakers even the most basic information about these extrajudicial murders:

How is it possible we still don't know the identity of the white nationalist running the DHS social media account? Constant neo-Nazi memes, now tweeting "RETVRN" memes from a US gov account.

Shouldn't this person be furloughed? How are they anonymous? They're a public employee.

For the gazillionth time, our election systems accurately count all votes cast. The problems come before that—gerrymandering, registration barriers, voter id laws that serve no legit purpose, etc. Once a vote is cast, it will be accurately tallied. Want to see for yourself? Serve as a poll worker.

i think people sometimes overstate the likelihood of america’s credibility being lost forever; forever is a very long time. but i think the next dem AG will need to commit effort and resources to investigating the full truth of the second admin and prosecuting them accordingly, starting with rubio.
This story is extraordinary even by 2025 standards. Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, made a deal with Bukele and agreed to renege on informant agreements in a years-long DOJ investigation into MS-13, totally undercutting credibility of such agreements.

Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal
To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

Obama sharing a video of himself wearing a crown and flying a King Obama jet that dumped shit all over Americans would have been the only thing the news networks talked about for weeks.

Meanwhile, Trump doing that very thing couldn't even warrant a discussion on the Sunday shows today.

I’m sorry it’s so fucking funny to burn Donald Trump by telling him read One Hundred Years of Solitude

Just block the bad accounts. Do it right away. Don't share or dunk or comment or argue. That's what they all want. Just nuke them and move on.
