I was a giant nerd long before it was cool. Words, books, movies, musical theatre, all things 1st Amendment, and Oxford comma. You can find my inner child chasing fireflies. Adult me is working hard not to be defined by work.

Trump: "I don't think you can work from a home. Nobody is gonna work from home. They are gonna be going out, they're gonna play tennis, they're gonna play golf, they're gonna do a lot of things. They're not working."

Four deadly plane crashes in four weeks. Thank goodness the acronyms are no longer gender neutral. That will be such a relief to grieving families and a boon to understaffed air traffic control teams.
So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?

If JD hadn’t forgotten all his Con Law, then maybe Liz wouldn’t have to school him like a 1L.
JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

Vance and Vermeule beg the question when they say federal judges can’t block legitimate acts of state : the point of having unelected judges is so that *whether* acts of state are ‘legitimate’ “can be decided by someone other than the people who are undertaking them.”
