Trump filed lawsuits over jokes, tweets, and news articles, but not once over any of the countless allegations of child rape. I feel like more people should mention that.

Bill Cassidy is a naive troglodyte, barely able to function with any sort of guile?!? You don't say.
RFK Jr had committed to Bill Cassidy, as a condition to win his vote, that he would keep website language.
Cassidy in February: “If confirmed… CDC will not remove statements on their website pointing out that vaccines do not cause autism.”

Extraordinary that the Texas government would be so corrupt that it would have to black out more than 80% of its emails with Elon Musk.
NEW: After fighting to keep emails between Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s office and billionaire Elon Musk’s companies secret, officials have released nearly 1,400 pages of documents to The Texas Newsroom.
All but about 200 pages are blacked out.

Gov. Greg Abbott Was Ordered to Release Some of His Emails With Elon Musk. Most Are Blacked Out.
Months after fighting to keep secret emails between Gov. Greg Abbott and Elon Musk, Texas officials released 1,400 pages of records. But they reveal little about the two men’s relationship or Musk’s influence over state government.

In addition to the usual topics, this edition also recommended a really great article: lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...
It was maddening, entertaining, and crystallized my issues with the NYT.

It's a loony deal that fundamentally misunderstands the value of the property.
Remember Looney Tunes? Ubiquitous, hilarious, and eventually so valuable as a property they were squirreled off out of sight, which nuked the value.
What can you expect from a bunch that sees the 🏆 as just metal

Trump’s “healthcare” plan will bankrupt and kill millions of Americans.
We can eliminate the private insurance industry, and save $650B per year with Medicare for All — which would cover everyone, save families money, and include dental, vision, hearing, prescriptions and longterm care.

Rob Manfred is the guy who goes to a casino with $100, loses $95 of it, on the last spin of the wheel wins $20, and goes home and tells his wife he won $25 at the casino.

There were some concerning elements under the hood. None of Bellinger’s 29 home runs went to the opposite field. He had a .302/.365/.544 slash and 152 wRC+ when playing at Yankee Stadium with its short porch in right field. He had a .241/.301/.414 line and 97 wRC+ on the road.

The office display is complete...for now.
I do like the symmetry: the ticket for the first game of the year and the ticket for the last game of the year.
Played around with what went where and I'm quite happy with it.

This is almost unreal incompetence.
Here's how this area of inquiry was discussed in Monday's opinion.
In short, this is the afterthought, the ~it couldn't be this, could it?~ moment in the opinion: "If this procedure did not take place, then the Court is in uncharted legal territory ..."
