Charlie Kirk was not assassinated.
Charlie Kirk was murdered.
Charlie Kirk was not a public official covered by assassination statutes. There is no suggestion that the killer was motivated by a contract. Charlie Kirk lacked the public prominence to merit "assassination" in common usage.

#LSAT students, look at the judge’s arguments: 1) lawyer is part of firm; 2) firm takes $ from Dem committees and donors; 3) Soros is a Dem donor (or funds foundations for Dem nonprofits?); therefore lawyer took $ from Soros and is (? Biased? Unclear). See the flaw? The necessary assumption?
In an unhinged dissent in our Texas redistricting victory, a GOP appointed judge seems to believe that George Soros and I did...well, I'm not sure what...but he is very mad. Bigly.

My mind has been spinning the last few days as multiple crises of journalism converged—the Nuzzi book, Epstein’s emails revealing journalists hid information, Trump berating a reporter with no consequence—and it occurred to me they all stemmed from the same source: elite impunity.
Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field
The Nuzzi/RFK Jr. mess and the revelation of Esptein's journo pals lay bare a profound moral absence at the heart of our free press.

This segment is so so good. Truly no one out there uses his platform like John Oliver
Was thrilled to help consult for this fantastic John Oliver segment on the tragic plight of U.S. public media and why, if we hope to be a democracy, we still need public media for so many things that commercial media will never provide. Deserves a wide viewership. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yknM...

No matter where we look: Religious identity, racial and cultural resentment, attitudes towards the religious/racial/cultural pluralization of American society are dividing the country - and shaping the political conflict- much more strongly than education polarization.

I think one of the underappreciated races on “people need to run for these jobs” lists is state bar associations.
Every state should see a slate of “we are going to sanction and disbar with a VENGEANCE” candidates in the next few yrs.
(You know this is why Bondi’s bro ran for the DC Bar Assn.)

Reup: One thing EVERYONE is missing abt the two things that went down last week--Bondi bowing to Trump's demand for an investigation of Dems, and her re-ratification of the Comey indictment--is how vulnerable Bondi is, both politically and legally.

Pam Bondi's obeisance to Trump's demand she conduct a frivolous investigation into Democrats to make his own Epstein scandal go away may be a gift to Jim Comey.

If anyone needs any further context on how weird immigration law is, humanitarian visas for abused children are considered "employment-based".
This backlog is less about streamlining and more about how Congress set visa numbers in 1990, and has made effectively ZERO changes to this system in the last 35 years.
In 2000, when Congress created SIJS, they linked it to the visa system; so you can win SIJS and still wait 5 years for a visa.

And no one talks about ways to make things move along more smoothly or how to streamline immigration procedures so backlogs aren’t so crazy and people can do things easier, more efficiently and legally. They just skip that part and think they can deport people for the foreseeable future.

Hey #lawstudents! Practical hypo - can the plaintiffs get an adverse inference or presumption or testimony about what’s missing, because of this? (Think judicial discretion, civil vs criminal presumptions, hearsay exceptions, and best evidence rule…)
An interesting tidbit in the joint status report filed in the Broadview ICE facility case today:
ICE says video from inside the facility "between October 19, 2025, and October 31, 2025, has been irretrievably destroyed" and can't be produced in discovery.

Until the attorneys are sanctioned and / or disbarred, this administration will continue to abuse the judicial process, undermining any chance of justice. Unfortunately all too common for judges to give bad actors too many second chances.

a lot of these people try to spin their retrograde attitudes about gender as a form of women's empowerment by appealing to the idea that femininity has been undervalued. but they don't want to elevate the status of femininity, they just want women to be more feminine so they can undervalue them
