Stephen Miller’s wife says he eats “nothing but mayonnaise.”
Miller puts the devil in deviled eggs.
I met him in 1996 when I was a summer associate at a patent firm and tagged along with a couple of partners on an unsuccessful pitch to Sensable. I got to play Pong on a Phantom and eat pizza with him and his mom.
Congratulations!

79% of nails used in the U.S. are imported. #tariffs
Two-panel cartoon. Left panel: Chinese people melting household metal objects during Great Leap Forward. Right panel: Crowd of people with MAGA hats led by Trump burning money in a barrel marked "Tariffs."
It's literally the logic of the Cultural Revolution. Ag production correlates with toolmaking correlates with steel production, so melt down your toasters. Manufacturing correlates with trade balance correlates with #tariffs, so raise sneaker prices until U.S. manufacturing hits government targets.
Seriously, here's how they calculated:
1. What's our trade deficit with Country X?
2. Part of this might be due to their #tariffs & part might be because we demand more of their stuff, but let's impute it all to their tariffs (linear model-cuz math's hard).
3. Divide this by 2 and tariff them back.
Russia is now officially our Most Favored Nation.
They're not even pretending that they're going to discontinue use of #Signal. It's too essential for document destruction. #hegseth

Hope this is just a joint exercise we apparently have to do with Russia every 50 years.

This is a perilous moment for lawyers in federal service.
Stories of resistance from within can help.
This book tells of lawyers who helped run the Japanese American camps of WWII.
We can learn from their struggles to reconcile job with conscience.

I was thinking exactly this. Expecting those who accept the offer just find themselves immediatelt fired.
@lapaul.bsky.social Have you been watching Severance? Would love your thoughts.
“Think of all the hapless sinners wondering where their soul’s destination lies. For what? To gain the answer to a simple question. Where will my spirit awake? What life am I given after this life? … Now, you, you lucky boy, you have the answer…” — Windom Earle (Twin Peaks (1991), ep. 26)

The mapmakers went to extremes, drawing an almost impossibly biased plan, which foreordained an 11-3 delegation even if Dems won 51.3% of statewide vote. None of 80,000 random maps would have resulted in 11-3 split. (h/t Jonathan Mattingly)
Dems lost their last check on Trump in NC's 2022 judicial elections, despite stopping predicted national red wave. Right after the GOP gained a majority of NC SCt in the 2022 elections, the court reversed itself and gave Republican state legislators carte blanche to draw districts in their favor.
Total #GOP control of U.S. government is now official with House 220-215. Commentators are highlighting that NC's court-sanctioned congressional #gerrymandering made the difference. The map was so severely biased that it foreordained a 11-3 outcome even if Dems had won 51.3% of the statewide vote.
