So this kind of thing is genuinely extremely useful for building public support for court reform.
You just have to look up Judge Jeffrey Brown’s resume and then wonder what it must be like for him to have the Roberts Court basically go, “You fool. You idiot.”

The Government Accountability Office says it has opened an investigation into Trump's Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte.
Pulte has weaponized his office — accusing Federal Governor Lisa Cook and several prominent Democrats, including New York AG Letitia James, of mortgage fraud.

Will they actually follow the NSS? probably not, no. Is it still bad they let the turbo chuds write US national security policy? yes

Man who says you should shoot paintballs at tanks has opinion
John Spencer’s post makes several claims:
1. Criticism of the U.S. National Security Strategy is evidence of personal bias, not substantive disagreement.
He frames dissent as a psychological issue (“triggering for you”), implying emotional instability.

This case is not cert-worthy. This is a bad sign.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court agrees to take up a challenge to President Trump's January 20 birthright citizenship executive order.
The court will hear DOJ's appeal of a loss below in a class-action challenge brought in the wake of June's decision limiting universal injunctions.

I've said this before but left-of-center bullying takes the form of "we're special and you're not allowed to sit with us" while right-of-center bullying takes the form of "we're normal and you're not allowed to sit with us"
Just a corrolary but a "meanness" on BlueSky is still very fem-coded. "Look at this neoshitlib, you know all his friends are in a group text where they make fun of him."
There's "Biff Tannen Bullying" and "Regina George Bullying". Both "mean" but received differently.
