The New York Times just launched a new "newsletter about the law and the courts." They are calling it "The Docket."

The Times may not care that Democracy Docket has been publishing "On the Docket" and "Daily Docket" for years, but I believe our 400,000 subscribers might.

More on this tomorrow.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

1) Trade away the QB that had been papering over your awful OL
2) Trade away your ridiculously athletic X receiver then cut your aging but wiley Y
3) Sign the QB whose 2 most recent games were being bludgeoned behind a slightly better OL

Funny how the “immigration crisis” seems to show up exactly where the political grudges live.

This looks personal.

Steve Bannon, Trump’s confidante & henchman, had an intimate relationship w/Epstein. So why hasn’t he been hauled before Congress to answer questions?

My latest: Bannon’s communications w/Epstein, legal efforts to hide them, & Bannon’s hours of Epstein video he's hiding.

People arguing about Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl are behind the curve. Culture already moved.

The NFL didn’t experiment; it aligned with gravity. That’s how power actually changes.

Quietly, then all at once. 💥

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

This should have been the case long before they killed two Americans.

Border patrol agents should never have been sent in masks and camo to wreak havoc and aimlessly run around a state 1,500 miles from the Southern border.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities

This is exactly the opposite.

Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.
