The most important fact—that this would be a patently unconstitutional executive order—is omitted from the social copy.

"If President-elect Donald Trump follows through on his vow to impose stiff tariffs and deport undocumented workers, rebuilding could become even more fraught. Undocumented workers comprise an estimated 13% of the construction industry,"

I will never stop being mad about how the media has treated the anti-trans movement as a group of ordinary people with legitimate concerns rather than the obvious frothing bigots they are.

Why I'm quitting the Washington Post Democracy can't function without a free press

This is, or should be, a big deal -- Ann Telnaes, an absolute legend, quitting WaPo due to censorship of a cartoon criticizing billionaires

The attractiveness and the pervasiveness of the “zero-sum” philosophy. Permeates all manner of things from customer service expectations to food subsidies.

In a society that rejects any belief in the common good It's easier to destroy solidarity than to build it. If I had to define "Trumpism," it's the belief that your own worth as a person is enriched by other people's suffering.

Privileged people generally experience the system as biased against and as singling them out for abuse, because they cannot imagine that’s just how the system treats people.

Anytime you feel imposter syndrome creeping in at your job, just remember that Brett Kavanaugh, one of the most replacement-level Guys our society has ever elevated to a position of power, is an honest-to-God Supreme Court justice

It will never not blow my mind that Republicans have introduced thousands of anti-trans bills and spent half a billion on anti-trans ads and somehow it's the Democrats that are labeled as obsessed with trans people.

Worth noting the EPA's brief correctly uses "nitrogen oxide" 7 times, and the EPA submitted a declaration from an official who used it twice.

But nobody involved in the majority opinion, Justices and clerks, bothered to take the EPA's brief seriously, and so none of them noticed the error.

Which would be a silly thing to which directors would owe a duty.

I would love to know the answer to this question. Especially since stock price is not really a gauge of the health of a company, but rather a gauge of what someone else will pay for the residual right to the assets of a company that they perceive to be as healthy (or not healthy).

Both the agency and the assent questions are determined using the objective standard. Is it reasonable for a regular consumer to believe a)the chatbot is acting on behalf of the dealership and b) if so, whether the chatbot, on behalf of the dealership, was assenting to the terms of the deal?

Admittedly not a con law guy, but I feel someone should inform the Texas district court judges they can’t issue nationwide injunctions anymore

The Texas Economy Took a Hit This Summer from Record-Breaking Heat The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas calculated the economic cost of a really hot summer.

The Dallas Fed estimates that Texas’s extreme summer heat has probably shaved 1 percent (!) off its nominal GDP growth this year. heatmap.news/sparks/heat-...

The same issue applies for Supreme Court clerks. Most of the law in this country is made and interpreted inside a very closed and detached universe.
