Someone tell AG Bondi it’s not a Maryland court’s (or any court’s) job to advance the president’s agenda.
The courts exist to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law — something totally foreign to Trump and his DOJ.

Trump’s AG calls out Maryland court for ‘blocking’ president’s agenda
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi name-dropped a court in Maryland last week for blocking “virtually all of President [Donald] Trump’s policies.”

Fun to see the Declaration of Independence published as an opinion essay in The Oregonian. Less fun to read every single line.

Do not ever do this under any circumstances. You will be held to the actual contract, not the AI summary, and the AI summary has no way of knowing which terms you might personally care about or have questions about. Dooooo notttttt dooooo thissssss.
I just received a contract on Docusign for review and signing, and it offered to give me an AI-generated summary that I could read instead to save time.
That's AN AI-GENERATED SUMMARY ***OF A CONTRACT***, in case you need to let that sink in.

Well, this will definitely increase attendance to sports events.
What were they actually gonna do here? Ask every brown-enough person for their papers to go to the fucking baseball game?
This is the most slam-dunk, anti-American thing I can think of. You need a passport to go to a Major League Baseball game now? Malpractice not to make a huge deal out of this.

LA DODGERS just now:
“This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.”
Right on, Dodgers!
More of this, please.

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

Those of us who study Russia are in cognitive dissonance and Groundhog Day syndrome -- simultaneously.
I saw the playbook used against the dissidents I used to work with in Russia and Belarus, and now we're witnessing it here.
The evidence grows every day; as I told the European Parliament last week, the United States is now an autocracy. 3/3
