One benefit of being an occasional YouTuber is exposing a stadium-sized audience to incredible fits in 4K.
This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

That’s from their Metro section. One of the best in the paper.
THIS.
I wish my clients were given even the tiniest amount of this kind of grace and compassion.
You should be able to criticize your government anonymously online.
Full stop.
"Age verification" legislation is just a pretty name for "forced online ID checks," meaning everything you post is associated with your government name
We have to stop this.

Screenshot from New York Today newsletter by The New York Times, with a highlighted quote: “For Donald Trump and his felony convictions, what I will say is he and his case illustrate very clearly in today’s times the two tiers of justice,” she said. “The people that we serve are not able to be out typically on bail if they are facing 34 felonies” — and probably would not have been freed after they were found guilty. Trump was convicted in 2024 in Manhattan on 34 counts of falsifying records to cover up hush money paid to the porn star Stormy Daniels. “The message, I think, of Donald Trump is our clients would like to experience the same criminal legal system that he got to experience,” Carter said.
I love how public defenders talk about the president of the United States vis-à-vis the casual cruelties their clients experience every day:

Yeah, this clip will certainly be shown as evidence at the trials.
They wrote up a report and let me go. I don’t remember if they said thank you.
But I felt the devices in my pocket during argument, which thankfully didn’t go off, and showed them to other reporters sitting next to me, who were as shocked as I was.
Dear reader: I did not snap a selfie.
Way back when, when I was a beat reporter, I inadvertently snuck not one, but two electronic devices into the courtroom of the Supreme Court of the United States, in which electronic devices are banned for everyone.
I turned myself in, largely to notify security that their security may be broken.
Besides publishing the guide, have you written this up? And what rule did you break other than annoying the librarian and the reporter of decisions?
I am banned from the library of the Supreme Court of the United States.
That’s the matcha intolerance emoji.
🤢 is the original matcha face emoji, but many people, including some matcha drinkers, aren’t willing to accept it.
Sorry if this offends.
A man with the government has been at the last two hearings relating to the contempt claim. Both times, he sat in the section of the courtroom open only to parties and counsel. Although not at counsel’s table, Littman and Jean Lin, the other Justice Department lawyer present at both hearings, has repeatedly consulted with him during both hearings. After today’s hearing — and after not being able to figure out for myself who he was after the last hearing — I asked him who he was. I had my press pass visibly displayed and identified myself as a reporter. He said he didn’t want to do that. I suggested that he must be a government official or employee, sitting where he was, and, if so, I asked incredulously if he really was not going to tell a reporter at a hearing who he was. He said no. Then, the people leaving — myself included — got to the elevator. Littman, Lin, mystery man, and two other people sitting with mystery man on the government side of the courtroom during the hearing on Wednesday were getting into the elevator. Some of them were already in the elevator. When I stepped in, mystery man said he would wait for the next elevator. Everyone else then got out of the elevator. Left in the elevator alone, I looked at these five adults — all of whom I believe have to be government employees, hence, paid by the public and allegedly working for the public — and was some combination of bemused and appalled. “You are all ridiculous,” I simply said. The door closed.
And, the story of the mystery man.

Indeed, Latino white supremacist adjacency is a sin as old as … an entire continent living and suffering under colonial rule for centuries.
It would be cool to have a legislature that acted to defend its own constitutional prerogatives and, maybe as a treat, the interests of the people it represents too.
This is the same solicitor general who had his head down and looked embarrassed while the president was calling the justices names after the tariffs went down.
By now, he has only himself to blame.
Complete text of motion to withdraw motion in law firm appeals: MOTION TO WITHDRAW MOTION TO VOLUNTARILY DISMISS APPEALS Defendant-Appellants respectfully move to withdraw their motion to voluntarily dismiss these consolidated appeals. Counsel for Defendant-Appellants reached out to counsel for Plaintiff-Appellees for their position. All Plaintiff-Appellees oppose stating, “PlaintiffsAppellees oppose the government’s unexplained request to withdraw yesterday’s voluntary dismissal, to which all parties had agreed. Under no circumstances should the government’s unexplained about-face provide a basis for an extension of its brief.” Regardless of PlaintiffAppellees position, this Court has not yet granted the motion to dismiss, and it is the prerogative of Defendant-Appellants to pursue this appeal. In addition, there is no prejudice to Plaintiff-Appellees in the Court granting this motion. This Court should grant this motion to withdraw.
A clownshow of a "motion to withdraw motion":

Only the best lawyers and the best people.
No, unfortunately. It’s just doubly confusing.
Congratulations to Perkins Coie, Jenner & Block, WilmerHale, and Susman Godfrey for fighting and winning against this extortion campaign. And to all the law firms, big and small, that stuck their necks out to support them.
Do not congratulate: All the firms that folded in advance.
They will not control us; we will be victorious.
Cristian doing a headstand at a nondescript gym. He’s wearing an army green sleeveless DAD shirt, dark gray sweatpants, and white sneakers and socks.
The world upside down.
The judges in WV have seen enough.
They say that if the ICE continues detaining people in ways they have unanimously deemed illegal they will start issuing civil fines and contempt findings — including against state officials who help them carry it out.

A mirror selfie. Cristian is wearing a gray sweatshirt with the word “DAD” emblazoned on it, plus a black beanie, black sweat pants, white socks and shoes.
“You must be the Dad.”
Indeed, I am.
The attorney general of the United States has been fudging this “unprecedented” capital prosecution—now non-capital—from the start.
From me in September: www.vanityfair.com/news/story/l...
The Trump administration won’t seek an appeal of the dismissal of the so-called death-eligible counts against Luigi Mangione.
The case will proceed as a non-capital case. Huge loss/face plant for Pam Bondi, who made a big show of this capital prosecution. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
She inherited other people’s cowardice. She’s an acting president replacing an interim president replacing a failed president.
Claire Shipman is a former television journalist, and it shows.
Going live to tape and telling the world how your university was invaded and your student abducted on the same day is exactly how you fight authoritarianism.
This is localism, or cooperative federalism, in action. Good on the mayor for getting results.
Yet no one should celebrate a system where relief depends on which city or state official has a direct line to the president.
