I am once again reminding you that “general” is the adjective in “attorney general” (and deputy attorney general). If you need help remembering that, just think of Ted Cruz begging his wife to call him “general” when he was Texas solicitor general. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

This is the "felony footlong" patch that the defense displayed in closing arguments in the sandwich guy trial, but it was never introduced in evidence, so jurors were told to disregard.

Shot my shot and asked LEGO if they had any plans for the White House LEGO set (currently retired) since the East Wing no longer exists.

LEGO, which had to hault "Pick a Brick" because of Trump's tariffs, decided not to play ball.

There’s a part of the director of the FBI’s brain that is occupied with structuring his tweets to bait the algorithm created by the guy who got his boss elected, using screenshots on the first post and then linking to the URL in the replies to evade link suppression. 2025!

Here is DHS making false allegations about @katmabu.bsky.social.

Read the affidavit and show me where it alleges that she assaulted anyone.

Spoiler: it doesn't.

The conspiracy charge / title of the statute is throwing people off / leading to a lot of bad faith attacks.

"Jack will be there."

An attorney for former Special Counsel Jack Smith says they hope the "American people can hear directly" from Smith after Trump calls him a "criminal."

A civil attorney who Trump enthusiast Lindsey Halligan brought in to prosecute the Letitia James case screwed up his initial appearance and the court had to give him step-by-step instructions about how to save a PDF.
