Justice KBJ is a brilliant strategist. She is working the rules to compel timely review of the stay in the SNAP case by both the Circuit Court and by the Supreme Court. This is why knowing which SCOTUS justice has supervision of the Circuit you file in is essential.

Okay, so what I've seen so far isn't generally rejoicing over Kirk's death, more a refusal to grieve and widespread dread at what the Right will do with this latest trigger.

I have represented FBI informants, as well as agents. This is real easy to prove because Trump's name would be in 302 and other reports. There are document policies that apply to informants.
So, Donald, waive your privacy and RELEASE the files! Really simple.

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect.
As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

CBS Evening News goes with "a unicorn of a situation" (rather than, I dunno, "fascist authoritarianism,") to describe Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to DC.
The most infuriating part of this is that all these reporters & anchors absolutely know better.

Parts of the Constitution were erased from the Library of Congress website, including the section featuring the foreign emoluments clause.
The removal was blamed on a "coding error."
Here's a reminder of what the clause says, just in case Congress ever decides to enforce it...

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.
