I've been getting to know Mohammed. His home was destroyed before he and his new wife had a chance to live in it. They got married in a tent. He's a teacher who knows which students died, are missing after bombings, or are mutilated. He is also helping his community. He's hungry. gofund.me/7763073d

I got asked if I want to pitch on (another) major franchise reboot at Paramount. I replied saying that I can't in good conscience work for a guy who is currently sitting down to dinner with Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Mohammed bin Salman. Maybe I'm my own worst enemy, but... fuck to the no.

Earlier this year I saw a judge issue a bench warrant for someone in the hospital because they had a LITERAL HEART ATTACK and when their attorney objected and reiterated that they were IN THE LITERAL HOSPITAL, the judge said "this is no less important. They could have gotten themselves discharged."
Judges every year in CLE courses: We don't understand why mental health and life expectancy are so poor among attorneys
A judge today: No counsel I won't reschedule [hearing date] for you to have surgery, I'm not delaying my docket for you. Figure it out.

I think it should be a bigger deal that before Trump made him a life-tenured appeals court judge, Emil Bove was at DOJ taking the position that the White House should do war crimes

Yet another reason for Senate Democrats to impeach Emil Bove the moment they take back the upper chamber.

Baselessly labeling an entire religion’s followers as a threat to the state *should* be grounds for impeachment, but this is Texas so they’ll probably throw him a parade.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said that Muslims are a “threat to our freedom” on Tuesday as he targeted the largest Muslim civil rights organization in the U.S. with a foreign terrorist organization label in an escalation of a movement of anti-Muslim hate in the state.

The Treasury Department has its own Epstein file containing thousands of bank records. My investigators reviewed a portion of those records last year. I've demanded the Secretary Bessent produce the file for further investigation. He has refused repeatedly.

Through Nuzzi’s interview and book excerpt, we are to understand that her journalistic malpractice was excusable because it was underpinned by genuine emotion. She was the victim of her emotions, and not of the way she behaved as a result of them. But how many others are afforded that privilege?

FDA is approving a new form of nalmefene for “prophylaxis” for “opioid exposure,” specifically citing fentanyl.
“Fentanyl exposure” is not a thing. Fent has to be intentionally ingested to cause OD.
