Teaching together in Milwaukee (June 2023) and Greensboro (October 2023). She's one of my favorite people.

My old pal Judge McNally (with whom I'll be teaching a NITA program later this month) is as nice a person as you'll ever meet, and as sharp a person as you'll ever meet, and I'm confident she'll put up with zero nonsense in her courtroom.

Or … Bondi could stop asking DOJ lawyers to do crazy unethical shit that gets them in trouble with state bars

Trump is lying.

I serve on the Intel & Armed Services Committees.

There’s no intelligence that Iran posed an imminent threat to the U.S. or the American people.

"Venezuela as a template for Iran" is some brain-soup insanity on levels that are hard to describe.

Still up on the official White House website:

A yellow star, you say?

Once again, the FCC is coming after Colbert. This time they're refusing to allow CBS to air an interview of James Talarico, a Dem Senate candidate from Texas. So we all know what to do, right?

And yet, every day, our most prominent Democratic politicians, scholars, public intellectuals, universities & university leaders, & other civil society organizations continue to use his platform as their primary social media outlet. One cannot help but notice this & draw conclusions.

SEN. KAINE: “You said American whites are victims of a cultural genocide… are they represented in the senate? House? Presidency? CEO’s?”

PLEASE SOMEONE ASK KEVIN WARSH ABOUT THIS IN HIS CONFIRMATION HEARING

Late Northwestern professor maintained relationship with Epstein Content warning: This story contains mentions of sexual misconduct with minors. Late McCormick Prof. Roger Schank maintained close contact with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and was offered a...

Northwestern's outstanding student journalists have discovered the searchable Epstein files, reminding me I'm one degree of sep from Epstein's island, via more than one intermediary. College profs with massive egos are stock, Schank was the epitome.

CNN confirms what MSNBC reported live a few hours ago: DOJ is surveilling Dem lawmakers when they go to the DOJ to search unredacted Epstein files.

She’s always been way beyond the norm bad, but even for petulant bully Trump II Cabinet members, that Bondi performance was near if not at the top for all-time worst meltdowns in a congressional hearing. She’d be out by the end of the day for that alone in any sane administration.

The @chicago.suntimes.com Operation Midway Blitz case tracker has been updated.

It reflects today's dismissal of the case against Erik Meier, as well as the deferred-prosecution agreement reached in the case of Jamie Hernandez: chicago.suntimes.com/2026/tracker...

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Q: Today, Vance posted and then deleted a tweet about the Armenian genocide. Last week, Trump's Truth Social account posted and deleted a racist video about the Obamas. Does the White House have a social media problem?

LEAVITT: No.

Only one of these is a constitutional right, you knob

Perfect

Judge Kai N. Scott went a step further and compared her and her colleagues on the bench squaring off with the Justice Department in a manner similar to Heracles’ confrontation with Hydra, the serpentlike monster that grew two heads every time one was chopped off.

Homan has changed nothing

I'm no expert on search functionality, but is this a smoking hot gun as to the corruption of the process. Why redact "don't" in ordinary sentences? And why search for any name or moniker in the files? Shouldn't they be reading the documents and considering redaction issues on each person regardless?
