The beautiful thing is, you can boo and vote at the same time.

Derek Muller, not one for hyperbole, on DOJ's frivolous Alaska lawsuit, whose legal argument he calls "one of the worst I've ever seen." electionlawblog.org/2026/citing-...

The time to determine whether Dan J. Sullivan Jr. could appear on the Alaska ballot for U.S. Senate was months ago, and Alaska courts did so. What's additionally batshit about this is that the candidates' names are printed on the ballot in a way which makes abundantly clear who's who.

Not a single word of this is hyperbolic in the slightest. Buy your friends in cybersecurity the drink or chocolate of their choice right now. We are not doing well

Even if this statement were accurate (he in fact works for the Department of Justice), the fact that your employer can fire you for not doing their bidding does not make it your job to do their bidding.

Most modern First Amendment violations would have mystified the Constitution's framers. Not this one. Federal functionaries threatening the licenses of journalists who publish news of the president's unpopularity is as core to the amendment's prohibitions as one can get.

I’ve got a piece in the @nytimes.com this morning about why Supreme Court reform has to be at the top of any agenda for democratic repair www.nytimes.com/2026/10/13/o...

I said this in a thread last night and in a thousand threads before it, but you really are doing the work of those who would destroy democracy and the rule of law when you are a doomer. You can be aware of — and vigorously oppose — the lawlessness of this administration without insisting on doom.

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

A reminder that the "presumption of regularity" (a) should not always be afforded and (b) can, in any event, be overcome.

Has there ever been a more deserved tie game?

🧵🧵🧵 I was going to write a simple sentence about the madness of the moment, but I got distracted by the U.S. president’s complaint that he was screwed out of the Nobel Peace Prize after bombing multiple countries, and then he bolstered his case with a plan to execute a guy in a wheelchair and ...

Jaw, meet floor.

Read Keri. I don't think Americans realize how improvisational & sketchy these lethal injections are. Even for cocktails w/ some history of efficacy, the drugs are of uncertain compounding provenance or could be expired. & that's before we get to issues with effectively administering the drugs.

We can’t just move past what SCOTUS has permitted this Administration to do to people who have lived and worked in the U.S. for years and even decades.

Trump v. US does indeed share a methodological kinship with Douglas's much-mocked Griswold opinion, but the latter involves a far more defensible structural inference.

If you're in these states, *TODAY* is deadline to register to vote. Arizona, Arkansas Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas. Even if you think you've registered: doesn't hurt to check! And there's a lot happening across them. A thread with stakes on each. ⬇️

One of the challenges of this app in these times is lack of charity. If you read the (free, linked) post, you'll see he's talking about people you "respect" and "admire," not fascists, flat-earthers, ethnic cleansers, etc. This is good advice!

Well-deserved accolades for my brilliant colleague Kate Redburn.

This is cruelty. Undocumented immigrants are spending months in detention facilities awaiting resolution of deportation cases. Before Trump 2, they could get a bond hearing to show they aren’t a danger or flight risk. (1/2) www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Reposting this with alt text: Near as I can tell, you can't see a home Atlanta Hawks game from section 109 row 1 - the rows in section 109 are lettered not numbered. Not the case for the DC-area UMD Terps, who Catlin Clark put 38 on during the Feb 3 game. Their 109 has numbered rows.

When, in time, a differently constituted Board forcefully renounces this episode and pulls down the curtain, the Center will be raising money in its sleep.

Cabining this to the first show being Jan. 1, 2000 rather than limiting evaluation to the portion of the series occurring in the 21st century feels odd to me (though of course the whole construct is arbitrary, I get it). The Sopranos, e.g., is clearly a 21st Century TV series in spirit.

Baude on Claude as Baude. Another data point in the AI-generated scholarship discourse.

There's a lot to say about this, and other folks are saying most of it. I just want to focus on one thing: the claim about the relationship between universities and "the real world."

The Secret Service is explicitly subject to the TRO in case anyone is wondering.

It feels pretty jarring to say "Well, at least we have the Knicks," but here we are.

The implication that this incredibly diverse array of nominees didn't exhibit "intellectual independence" suggests a world divided into "white" and "not white."

This is incredibly difficult and valuable reporting. You should read it and support independent journalism.
