Lawyer, husband, and father. I talk about politics and law, with a journey down the occasional rabbit hole.
The far right used to have to launder its batshit identity/culture war/conspiracy theories through progressive layers of right-wing media before ultimately using up on Fox. Now, Laura Loomer's speculation on X - recently in the news for its foreign users posing as Americans - is reported by WaPo.
very odd that the Post would write up someone’s speciation as if it’s news. What are we doing here

“SHOULD ORDERS AND THE LAW EVER CONFLICT, OUR OFFICERS MUST OBEY THE LAW.”
This plaque is displayed at West Point. It’s the law. Not sedition.

"Sad" is an understatement. Like, I know this reference gets used a lot with him, but this is the type of shit a lonely, edgelord 13-year old would use his AI for and then not understand why nobody fuckin likes hanging out with him
Everything about this might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen

I really, really strongly encourage you to watch Aaron's clips of the Trump-Mamdani meeting, not just read his recaps.
This is a totally different Trump than we ever normally see. It's wild to see him like this—and Mamdani is the one who brought it out in him. There's a lesson here.

Q: would you feel comfortable living in NYC under a Mamdani administration ?
TRUMP: I would. I really would.

Trump feuding with Marjorie Taylor Greene but being in love with Zohran Mamdani was not on my November 2025 bingo card

This whole thing has me giggling at how utterly (and pleasantly) surprised Trump is with Mamdani. It's very telling Trump mentions - not for the first time - that the news and info being fed to him is very different than reality.
"I expect to be helping him, not hurting him. A big help" -- Trump is totally charmed by Mamdani

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.
This isn’t controversial.
A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.
He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.
Release the transcript.

2003-ish, high school: Tim wore a giant inflatable penis costume to run across the field at a soccer game, to uproarious cheers among dozens in attendance. Administrators gave chase, attempting to close the sizeable lead he already had when catastrophe struck: Tim tripped over his balls.

Do enough litigation and you realize that most people are positively moronic about what they put in their emails.
of all the atrocities these emails likely allude to, it's still amazing that 'elites' write awful things *in emails*. so above the law, so convinced of their rectitude, so conditioned to impunity.

we can chalk it up to youth and inexperience but the biggest mistake the mamdani campaign made was winning by 8.8% and not 1.5%, which is the margin needed for the media to say it’s a total mandate

Here is DHS making false allegations about @katmabu.bsky.social.
Read the affidavit and show me where it alleges that she assaulted anyone.
Spoiler: it doesn't.
The conspiracy charge / title of the statute is throwing people off / leading to a lot of bad faith attacks.
