The laws of war are not mere niceties. They are lessons from centuries of blood agreed upon to keep the world more stable.
Violating them isn’t hero cop who cuts through red tape to get things done, it’s psycho cop who crosses lines in ways even the rule benders find appalling and must be stopped.

Tariffs on pasta from Italy could soon soar to more than 100%
A routine Commerce Department probe into alleged “dumping” resulted in crushing 100% tariffs on Italian pasta that leave exporters shouting “Basta!”

This is 100% true. I’m in Manhattan today for work and they made me convert to Islam before I was allowed to purchase my BEC and coffee this morning. Inshallah I’m able to get a slice of pizza tonight because the ration lines are so long.
Tuberville: “We just saw what happened in NY. We lost NY. It will be completely Muslim in 3-4 years. That’s what they want. And it’s going to spread throughout the country.”

NYT: Dems underperforming in rectilinear counties
Georgia Republicans say they’d be foolish not to heed the lessons of the PSC races, when Democrats didn’t just run up the score in liberal strongholds. They outperformed their party’s 2024 presidential vote share in all but two of Georgia’s 159 counties.

One of the slave power secessionist complaints was that Northern juries kept acquitting people who obstructed the Fugitive Slave Act. But even when the bastards had the federal government on their side, there was no way around the Sixth Amendment's requirement of not just a jury but a local one.

It's actually a credit to the strength of our civil society that we're not treating ICE officers the way they're asking to be treated on sight.
ICE grabs father by the neck—send him into violent seizure while his arms lock up around his toddler.
"He's having seizure and they're trying to rip the baby out of his hands!"
Agents then handcuff him—before putting in ambulance with his child.
Mother is detained by agents as target of arrest.

I almost can’t believe this. I spend an absurd amount of time litigating pre-enforcement standing in the 6th Circuit, which makes establishing pre-enforcement standing near impossible. *En banc,* the 6th Circuit just blessed pre-enforcement standing in a culture war case with wafer-thin analysis.

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk scored a resounding victory on Thursday as shareholders approved a pay package of as much as $878 billion over the next decade, endorsing his vision of morphing the EV maker into an AI and robotics juggernaut.

“Women don’t belong in the workplace” is a delusion of the nineteenth century, and particularly of the upper classes.
In preindustrial Europe, the home was commonly the workplace, and everyone worked. Until very recently, the workplace has always been everyone’s.

Imagine being one of the (amazing, hardworking) people behind Sierra's decades-long Beyond Coal program of political and legal work and then having to deal with this.
Trump: "You're not allowed to use the word 'coal' unless you say, in my administration, unless you use two words before it -- clean and beautiful. Biden would say 'unless you use two words before it.' He'd go, 'clean.' What happened to the other word? Remember those days?"
