The DOJ only barely managed to pull their penis out of the toaster in that hearing. Stanley Woodward had grabbed it and shoved it right back in.

TONIGHT: DOJ moves for Judge Reyes to disqualify in the East Potomac Golf Course case. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Only Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward is on the motion. Reyes ordered a response to be filed by the plaintiffs on Sunday.

Sources tell me that Paxton is looking forward to ending at the Alamo because he'll get to meet Santa!

Most of us know that Marbury v Madison "established judicial review" and stuff. But what if I told you that a lame duck President colluded with the Senate to appoint loads of judges after he left, and the Supreme Court discovered judicial review mostly to ignore that? The full story is worth it.

ACLU@aclu.org

Marbury v. Madison started off as a petty workplace drama, but led to landmark Supreme Court cases like Brown v. Board of Education and Obergefell v. Hodges. In the latest episode of our new podcast, Let the Record Show, our hosts @iammrbeat.bsky.social and Shereen give us all the juicy gossip.

Perry asks why the feds are agreeing to attorneys fees while objecting to a special prosecutor. Whalen says they're not conceding any wrongdoing on the fees question. They're just not fighting it.

Louisiana demands that the Supreme Court reinstate Prigg v Pennsylvania immediately.

Here is the states' request for SCOTUS to take this case as a trial court and consider the constitutionality of telehealth shield laws that allow clinicians to prescribe abortion pills across state lines. There are nearly 15,000 shield law abortions a month storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The DOJ more or less admits that they were being willingly blind to the fact that the final order dissolved the stay, which is all the 1st Circuit clarified.

Chris Geidner@chrisgeidner.bsky.social

Here is the application: www.documentcloud.org/documents/28... In the filing, DOJ complains that it has been "forced" to keep coming back to SCOTUS for relief—telling on itself a bit, I'd say—and about the First Circuit acting quickly—when the First Circuit was addressing DHS acting quickly.

Not me, but I have decreed that the pulsar in the Crab Nebula is officially renamed in honor of my father, Patrick.

David Shiffman, Ph.D. 🦈@whysharksmatter.bsky.social

With all this bullshit news about President Trump renaming things after himself, I’m curious- what’s something you’ve always wanted to be named after yourself? For me, it’s a parasite that gives dolphins GI distress. I’d love for those blubbery jerks to go “oh no, I’ve got the Shiffmans again!”

I have never been a supporter of Donald Trump, but if lesbian bars in towns I've never been to don't ease their mask mandates, I will have no choice but to hold my nose and for him for the fourth time in 2028.

In which the 8th Circuit just declares that they're going to ignore the Missouri Supreme Court's rulings and expect them to adopt this one instead. The absolute arrogance.

Steve Vladeck@stevevladeck.bsky.social

The Eighth Circuit has ordered the district court to reinstate Missouri’s 2025 congressional map. But before folks freak out, it also ordered that court to pause such a ruling for long enough that the challengers can (and will) seek further review from #SCOTUS: s3.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

BREAKING: Kash Patel announces an aggressive campaign against Rick Scott--

Kash Patel: "We will manhunt you to the ends of the earth if you decide to fleece the American people and our elderly and our youth of the taxpayer dollars that should be going to them to help them in their lives"

Important to remember: patient info was already protected thanks to the efforts of groups like the ACLU. These hospitals did not settle to protect anyone. They did it because they wanted to, and everyone (including state prosecutors) should treat it as such.

ACLU@aclu.org

Because of our lawsuit, no patient records from NYU or Mt. Sinai have been disclosed to the DOJ as part of these settlements — and that block remains in full effect. It’s beyond shameful that the Trump administration has strong-armed these hospitals into a deal that betrays New York families.

The 5th amendment is what protects defendants from accidentally undermining themselves in compelled testimony. But his decision to waive that protection means the jury absolutely does get to consider his description of the rapes as "a good workout." We'll see how that goes.

Clancy: "He was frustrated by all the lies. He was frustrated by all the accusations. He was frustrated by the government's questioning of him." He says Uribe gave "a horrible answer. But nothing that you can consider." "You can't consider that he said something so crass."

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred DHS from threatening to prosecute a man who harshly criticized ICE’s acting director following the fatal shootings in Minnesota. It violates his free speech, Judge Contreras ruled. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

FYI: the guy who was trying to shame trans voters for demanding better from the candidates is currently trying to argue that rocks are sentient.

Guys, this isn't hard. Yes, it is *unquestionably* better for D's to win over R's even when said D's are awful on trans rights. Simultaneously, we can *and must* demand better of said D's. DO NOT allow them to win and think their regressive stance is the new norm. That is the ask.

If you ever find yourself having to make a choice between Nazis and people you find annoying, and you even give a moment of thought to choosing the Nazis, then stop. Go look in the mirror and ask that moron why they ended up like this. Do not walk away until you have an answer.

The world needs more lesbian. It's time to contribute.

The Missouri Supreme Court and federal court have effectively banned Missouri from using *any* maps for the upcoming election. This overview won't make sense of that (honestly, nobody can say this point), but it will explain why SoS Hoskins is responsible for breaking literally everything.

Chris Geidner@chrisgeidner.bsky.social

BREAKING: Dueling rulings cause chaos over Missouri maps. By Tuesday night, Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins faced an order from the Missouri Supreme Court to show cause why he should not be held in contempt. New, at Law Dork:

An excellent example of the rhetoric used by right-wingers. These things are all technically correct, and have always been taught in schools. It's just that, well...the British Empire did *other* things too. And, uhh, those need to be taught as well.

The Hoff Crab is neither a crab nor is it David Hasselhoff. It is a Yeti Crab, which is neither a Yeti nor a Crab but a sub-group of Squat Lobsters, which are not lobsters, they're Anomurans, like Mole Crabs, which are neither moles, nor crabs.

We have a spacecraft orbiting *Jupiter* because solar panels got so good that they can work in the outer solar system. And there's a space station orbiting the planet for longer than your kids have been alive that's running entirely on solar.

I strongly recommend reading the opinion before calling this a travesty. The haircut on these damages is nothing compared to the Connecticut award, and the stuff the appeals court confirmed is actually really devastating to him.

See, *that* is an actual legal problem that warrants action. You can't go to trial and receive a jury verdict in your favor only to retroactively modify the petition to declare that it was actually a trial over this other more favorable statute. That's not how this works.

Seriously, the framing of this as a "win" is almost stretching credibility. If anything, this just sets precedent that makes it easier for future victims of discovery abuse to avoid three costly delays his antics caused here.

Temu Ernie and Dollar Tree Bert have very strong opinions. Or something.
