DOJ Un-Drops Its Appeal Against Law Firms, Files Brief That Gets The First Amendment Exactly Backwards On Wednesday of last week, I wrote a post about how the Trump administration had quietly given up defending its unconstitutional executive orders targeting law firms. The DOJ was dropping its appeals, the firms that fought had won, and the firms that capitulated—led by Paul Weiss and their nearly $1 billion in groveling pro bono commitments—were left holding a very expensive bag.

@kairyssdal.bsky.social if tariffs ultimately reduce farm exports to the global community, this will result in an increase in the domestic pumpkin supply. Is it the most economically sound thing for us as a country to all get behind the pumpkin beer?

I Met a Tuskegee Airman. He Doesn’t Want His History Erased At nearly 100 years old, General Woodhouse is still fighting to keep America’s true history alive

open.substack.com/pub/historyc... I grew up in Roxbury. I met General Woody when I was a kid. I was there 1/29/25 when the Boston City Council honored him. The other day I ran into him food shopping at the Prudential Star Market. I let everyone know a hero was there. He’s still feisty at 97.

Reminds me of this 1967 glossary of "Marxist" terminology disseminated by the "Massachusetts Friends of Rhodesia," a white Christian nationalist organization.

"Discrimination: A smear term used against people or actions which interfere with communist plans or objectives."

A political cartoon features a figure resembling former President Donald Trump sitting at a desk, writing a response to an email. The email appears to be from "Elon Musk" and is addressed to "All Federal Employees" with the subject line: "What did you do last week?" The response written in large, bold letters says, "BETRAYED AN ALLY." The cartoon is signed by the artist, Bramhall, and labeled as from the New York Daily News (NYDN). The image was shared by "The Tennessee Holler" with the caption "CARTOON OF THE DAY."

DOGE’s Only Public Ledger Is Riddled With Mistakes The figures from Elon Musk’s team of outsiders represent billions in government cuts. They are also full of accounting errors, outdated data and other miscalculations.

WATCH: “ @aoc.bsky.social is 6th from the bottom in net worth in Congress, and hasn’t traded a single stock since being in Congress.”

PSA: Anyone who won’t back a ban on congressional stock trading is unworthy of your vote, regardless of party.

Warren: "My view right now is the courts are where we are hanging on to our constitutional structure. They still have the power to hold everybody else in this country in contempt if they do not follow lawfully issued court orders."

I believe in separating the art from the artist (sneaking into their studio and stealing paintings right off the easel).

Let me say it again:

Trans people deserve to play sports.
Trans people deserve health care.
Trans people deserve access to bathrooms.
Trans people deserve to be treated like human beings.

This Congresswoman loves you and will always have your back.

Elon musk isn’t elected.

He’s a Nazi nepo baby who breaks everything he touches.

And right now he’s locked himself in a room with grandpa’s Social Security check.
