A good reminder that because I'm not a conservative commentator, no one will pay me $150m. No major network is making me the editor in chief.
I am just a lawyer who fights for democracy and built Democracy Docket from scratch. For $10 a month you can help it do its vital work. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Steve Bannon ripped off his own followers with his ‘build the wall’ scam. Trump pardons him. Then photos come out showing him hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein AFTER he was charged with child trafficking, and yet he somehow has an audience because really MAGA stands for nothing.

Update: DOJ haw now sued 18 states.
My law firm has already filed to intervene to defend voters in 13 of the first 14 cases. We are working on the remains 5.
This is an insane effort by DOJ and we are a small firm. But we are committed to protecting free and fair elections in 2026.
More soon.

Even for me, this is pretty in the weeds, but the shift in tone in SCOTUSblog's coverage since Sarah Isgur and The Dispatch took over—more deferential to the Court, more reverential of the justices as celebrities, more credulous and stenographic across the board—has been...notable
Maybe this new blog can respond, in one of its first posts, to the argument that the term “interim docket” is a deliberately misleading attempt to minimize the (very permanent) doctrinal and real-world consequences of #SCOTUS’s rulings on emergency applications?

Trump’s DOJ is using secret memos to justify lethal boat strikes, mirroring the Bush-era "torture memos." By redefining drug cartels as military foes, MAGA lawyers are creating a legal shield for extrajudicial killings and bypassing congressional oversight. #NoForeverWars
