Puget Sound island dweller. Tired, sweary, lawyer. I’m telling you, it’s the entropy. It just will not stop.

Unquestionably true. I and so many others identified Trump v. United States as a dagger plunged into America’s heart the morning it was issued. When Roberts dies, I hope they bury him with that opinion stuffed into his mouth.
The only thing I’ll add to this fine statement is that vindictive prosecutions are now a feature, not a bug, of our constitutional system, thanks to Trump v. United States. Unless and until Congress adopts deep, structural measures, presidential harassment through the criminal system won’t go away.

GOOD LORD. And $77m that's totally "anonymous." But some of these companies aren't ones that you traditionally think of as "evil." But it shows just how pervasive corruption is in Washington, generally and specifically more so under Trump. It's all pay to play. newrepublic.com/post/216672/...
Ain’t it wacky how the Supreme Court has recognized that jury verdicts that depart from the instructions given by prosecutors and the court are unreviewable and can serve “as a check against arbitrary or oppressive exercises of power by the Executive Branch.”

Yes, yes, the authoritarian president is leading a hate-filled rally in which he urges his followers to physically assault protesters but do NOT call any of these people Nazis or you will make David Brooks sad.
holy shit -- a protester at the Trump rally gets physically assaulted after they interrupt the rally by a man who punches her in the face. Trump smears the protester as a "fat guy"

Nauseating. A grotesque betrayal of the US, our values and our allies. The United States has no greater enemy than Donald Trump.
Trump: "I think you heard about the oil deal with Russia. That is a big deal. That is massive amounts of oil coming into our country, and I want to thank President Putin to be honest with you."

Prayers up for my buddy Eric Schmitt! After a tough day at work he forgot to pull his pants down before taking a shit & had to waddle home as loose turds periodically fell out of his pant leg.
🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

I wish I could muster sympathy for these assholes, but I can’t. They’re getting a taste of the reality the rest of us saw ten years ago. They own this. How does it feel to be a piece “of meat,” you MAGA fucks?
I can only hope this is the kiss of death for Infantino. I’m sure UEFA and the other European stakeholders who loathe Infantino will appreciate Trump’s input.
In this particular case, it’s not a compliment to the Supreme Leader of Iran that the President of the United States is his ethical and moral inferior.
Iran’s Supreme Leader is correct. Sadly. Trump’s signature is worthless, he has zero credibility on the world stage, the entire world laughs at him, and he lies as he breathes. Someone else is gonna have to end this war because Trump is incapable of it.👇

This opinion, issued this morning — which excoriates Trump, Blanche, Woodward, and the bullshit “Plaintiffs” counsel in the slush fund case, and subjects them to sanctions and injunctive relief — does make me proud to be a lawyer. It tells *the truth.* storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

When I read District Judge Reyes’ opinion earlier this year excoriating Trump and Noem for their blatant racism in this case, I remember thinking that even the Supreme Court — even *this* Court — can’t possibly whitewash something this overt. I was unbelievably fucking wrong. There is no bottom.
Compare Alito's description of Trump's racist statements (on the left) to Justice Kagan's anthology of Trump's racist statements (on the right). These are passages from this morning's opinions in Mullin v. Doe.
