Rob Grant

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

Hey, her time at Pepperdine Law overlapped with Ken Starr’s. Neat!

I wanna quibble a bit with the premise of question 4: 'why court expansion over alternatives' suggests an either/or, but I want a whole suite of reforms But also, court expansion is the most urgent and necessary reform bc it's the clearcut constitutional way to immediately stop the bleeding

It’s logically impossible for Ilhan Omar to have committed immigration fraud—she was 12. Melania, on the other hand…

Oh man, every word of this…

I’ve said it a thousand times but Stoicism and Ayn Rand both appeal to certain politicians and technocrats because it allows for them to feel virtuous in their narcissism. Casting themselves as ambitious heroes in a “hero’s journey” is exactly why @sentantiq.bsky.social and I wrote this takedown.

everyone knows the most important thing about a military officer is if he has a beard which is why Grant so famously was a worse general than McClellan

Maybe I'm missing something, but I still don't get this. Schmitt was saying Smith went to a Hawks game. His evidence was texts that mention "Jack" but not from Smith (and the Hawks does not have a 109 row). Yes, Smith went to a Hawkeyes game, but Schmitt did not present any evidence of that.

FBI Director Kash Patel this week has faced the worst data breach in FBI history, a deputy who quit because Patel was doing too many unconstitutional things, and partied with a suspected double agent. And it's only Tuesday. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-disgra...

In fairness, no reason the Iowa Hawkeyes would be on the radar of a senator from, um, Missouri

If you think it sounds like a bad idea I have great news for you, which is that there is currently no evidence that it is supported by more than one (1) random NY assemblymember.

Totally normal, well-functioning president we got here.

The thing about actual Roman damnationes memoriarum is that they didn't really obliterate all memory of a bad emperor. None of our sources are afraid to talk about these figures. It wasn't truly about forgetting the guy, but about abolishing his (positive) public commemoration.

That’s a catch. C’mon

Here’s another “Trump Says …” headline in the New York Times. Headlines like this translate to: “World’s Biggest Liar Says Something.” Not exactly news.

Chris Simms, I was not familiar with your game

There's really no complicated explanation for this, or any kind of grand theory. It's just Econ 101 and he flat out does not understand it because he's an idiot.

Not just whatever they’d be paid for performing, but a ton of exposure, which would translate into $$$

This @drewmagary.bsky.social story is great, but the Lance Yamamoto photo of the front of the AI-administered store with the “Caution: Automatic Door” sign is A+ comedy.

you accomplished something beautiful and impossible that no one can take away from you even as it's proven meaningless. there are no bigger lessons

Obviously this is a hilarious and obvious lie but it's instructive in that Trump knows he's supposed to care about this thing, and manifestly does not and cannot care about it, and so he has to put himself into the story just to make it something he can talk about. He almost died that day!

And they ran straight to a phone so he could call in to Channel 9 and talk about his building.

This is the way.

I did comment on this story on my show. None of you mouthbreathers noticed, because you don’t actually consume my work or care about the issues in this story you claim to care about —you just want to find reasons to shit on another woman.

This @tressiemcphd.bsky.social piece is *the best* thing I’ve read about Dolly Parton. Holy smokes, what insight. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/27/o...

I drive past the Kennedy Center at least once a month and am inside it probably every other year and calling it “decrepit, dilapidated [and] crumbling” is just a lie (on top of the legal illiteracy Jay identifies).

Buckingham Palace band playing 9 to 5 for Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton knew what it was like to struggle as she fought for working families her whole career. From providing free books to kids to giving working women our "9 to 5" anthem, she was an icon and an inspiration. Rest in power to our union sister. We will always love you.

A critical point raised in Jackson's dissent: the president cannot suffer "irreparable harm" when a court denies him the ability to do something *he has no power to do*, which is clearly the case here
