We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

Here's the suit that Trump ordered DOJ to file seeking non-certification of a "tainted" U.S. Senate race in Alaska: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“Hey so in the future, the Republican President’s closing argument for his midterm will be a long monologue about a candidate’s “ass.’”

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

Let me make a sort of orthogonal point: I don’t get the attacks on immigrants - that even I’ve experienced - that sound like “you came here from a bad place.” Yeah man I know. That was the whole idea of coming here. To come to a good place where you can make something of your life in freedom.

My latest work dropped this week @newrepublic.com. It's an invitation for us to start thinking and talking more consistently about this emerging community safety ecosystem. If you'll indulge me, let me say a bit more about what I mean.

The Department of War? What’s that?

The person on caption duty was on a mission.

TRUMP'S TOP 10 9/11 LIES Trump has lied incessantly about 9/11 over the years, above all glorifying himself. We shouldn't let his lies obscure the truth, or desecrate the day. And so, on Sept 10, here's a list of his top 10 9/11 lies over the years. 1/12 www.randomlengthsnews.com/archives/202...

More than 200 Georgetown Law students pledged honesty, integrity and professional conduct at this year's student attorney oath ceremony, presided over by Judge Loren AliKhan, L'06. Full ceremony recap: https://bit.ly/4xiMVVm

I was raised in the 70s by a single mother who subscribed to Ms. and dragged me to ERA and Women’s Political Caucus meetings most weekends until I was old enough to have my own activities. So I find this news gutting. Gloria Steinem was imperfect, like everyone is, but she was a hero.

How about this?

This excellent, just-filed amicus brief from @thefireorg.bsky.social defends the plaintiffs' central claims in AAUP v. Rubio--that noncitizens are protected by the First Amendment, and that deportation for political speech is flagrantly unconstitutional. knightcolumbia.org/documents/9j...

Wouldn't it be easier & far less time consuming to just report when he actually tells the truth?

GWB right after 9-11: "The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That's not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace." Nancy Mace today: Every single Muslim holding public office in America is a trojan horse, and a threat to both national security and our republic.

Very interesting

When an entire arena boos you for telling the truth, you quickly learn who has courage. Kris Kristofferson walking onto that stage and standing beside Sinéad as the insults rained down remains one of the most powerful acts of human decency I’ve ever seen. Three years resting in peace 🙌🏼🤍🙌🏼

Just walked to ACME and back wearing a Sixers shirt. 7 people either yelled "Sixers" or "LeBron" at me...including the ACME security guard who lifted up his uniform to reveal he was wearing Sixers gear underneath lol.

Reminds me of an earlier presidential administration: “The Treasury Department’s top tax policy official was forced out of his job after he warned that the White House was at risk of violating a federal law prohibiting senior officials’ involvement in IRS audits." www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Consistent with my personal policy of posting about only important things: The Sixth Circuit has joined the ranks of sensible courts of appeals that do not require certificates of service when filing is electronic. See www.ca6.uscourts.gov/sites/ca6/fi...

Thanks Matt.

Despite arguing at length about original meaning, the Justices are really constitutional pluralists, taking account of changed circumstances, as @espinsegall.bsky.social explains on the blog, using Justice Kavanaugh's separate opinion in the birthright citizenship case as illustrative. 👇

Joan Armatrading is a legend. Discovered her in '84 w/ the song Drop the Pilot. My friends next door had MTV and the video was playing regularly. We liked it. But if I had one Joan LP to pick, it would be her 1976 self-titled, produced by Glyn Johns. Her commercial breakthrough and most consistent.
