No Habba job. Sad!
Breaking News: A federal court said that Alina Habba, a Trump-appointed lawyer, had been serving unlawfully as the U.S. attorney in New Jersey. She was neither confirmed by the Senate nor appointed by district trial court judges — the two traditional pathways.
Appeals Court Says Alina Habba, Former Trump Lawyer, Is Serving Unlawfully as U.S. Attorney
The judges wrote that the Trump Administration appeared to have become frustrated by legal and political barriers that have prevented its preferred U.S. attorneys from leading federal prosecutors’ offices.

From latest:
Martin Sellner, the Austrian neo-Nazi who popularized the term "remigration," showed off a screenshot to my colleagues of a Trump social media post, using the word. He said that Trump’s borrowing of the term was a “vindication” of his own political project.

Column | Trump’s embrace of ‘remigration’ echoes Europe’s far right
The term “remigration” probably entered President Donald Trump’s orbit via the politics of ascendant far-right parties in Germany and Austria.

Although we agree on many things and if I applied my normal standards I would see this point is arguable I find your disagreement with me to be upsetting and threatening and will respond with hostility and insults and a claim you are unsuited to society

This won’t be a popular opinion, but I don’t think the instructor was right here. The assignment said that the goal was for students to demonstrate they completed the readings *and* they could do so by reflecting on, among other things, their personal experiences. www.oudaily.com/news/ou-stat...

@kenwhite.bsky.social isn’t repeatedly switching between mutually exclusive stories traditionally considered prima facie evidence of knowing guilt?

"When senior leaders disparage legal oversight, sideline JAG officers, impede the ability of the press to report, or treat accountability as the enemy, they do more than risk unlawful action. They weaken the moral foundation that makes our military credible in the eyes of the American people...

Well, they can quite easily be both.
Here are US military lawyers stating clearly that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's "kill everybody" orders are either (1) war crimes or (2) murder.

Either way, expect prosecutions in the future.

This is true:
Congressional Republicans let Trump put an alcoholic rapist in charge of the Pentagon, an anti-science kook in charge of our health, and a 22 year old intern in charge of counterterrorism.

These people do not act as if they actually care about Americans or the constitution.
