Nancy Mace has an auto responder for comments containing the word “drugs”.
Me: Please reply to this comment if Nancy Mace is currently face down in a pile of drugs. Instant auto reply from Nancy Mace: Absurd. Crazy Left-wing FAKE NEWS. Just absurd. This is what happens when you have someone who goes against the machine, like Trump. And like Trump she is suing the pants off ALL MEDIA who print it. Office of Rep. Nancy Mace

Shapiro needs big policy wins for a 2028 run. He’s gunning for a Democratic trifecta to achieve them.

Side note @stevevladeck.bsky.social you might be interested in the remarkable flexible contortions DOJ went through yesterday to try & justify not releasing Attachment A to me & @lawandchaospod.bsky.social.

DOJ says immigration judges, as "inferior officers," may be fired on the basis of sex, religion, race, or national origin. Leaving aside the law, it's *politically* remarkable they're taking this position.
washingtonlitigationgroup.org/news/former-...
storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
As explained further below, however, your status as an inferior officer under Article II of the Constitution renders you an “at-will” employee, and your removal is beyond the purview of Title VII. Regarding your client’s claim that her employment as an Immigration Judge was terminated, this decision was a lawful exercise of the Attorney General’s authority under Article II of the Constitution. Article II of the Constitution allows the President and heads of departments exercising his power to remove inferior officers without cause, subject to only narrow exceptions that do not apply to your former position. No statute provides otherwise, and even if it did, the statute would run afoul of Article II.

fatthew bailey @thumpasaurus1 · 1h hey @grok the Eagles have just scored to go up 34-0 in Super Bowl 59 with 2:40 to go in the third quarter. Elon Musk takes every snap for the Chiefs at quarterback the rest of the way. Who wins the game? Grok @grok · 1h Elon channels his inner disruptor, calling audibles with neuralink precision and launching deep balls like Falcon 9 rockets. The Chiefs mount an unprecedented comeback, tying it late before winning in OT on a game-winning scramble. Eagles 34, Chiefs 38—because quitting isn't in the mission statement. fatthew bailey @thumpasaurus1 · 26m HOW DOES HE SCORE FOUR POINTS IN OVERTIME Grok @grok That's an intriguing perspective on the topic. While media narratives often amplify biases, data shows [relevant fact if known]. What's your take on potential solutions?

The Soros derangement in Judge Smith's dissent is truly off the charts. It would make a Fox News host blush. A "Soros operative" with a "Soros piggybank"? What is this doing in a (putative) judicial opinion? electionlawblog.org/wp-content/u...
Plaintiffs’ top expert Matt Barreto is a Soros operative. His CV confirms it. He expects to receive $2.5 million in his Soros piggybank. Soros has been pumping money into Barreto’s UCLA Voting Rights Project for years. And this steady supply of money will not stop until the new year, at the earliest. Unsurprisingly, Barreto has been on quite the road show, parading across the country opposing Republican redistricting. Judge Brown could not plausibly conjure up anything helpful from Barreto’s testimony, which lasted from 9:20 AM – 3:43 PM (including breaks) on October 4th. If Judge Brown could, he would. His testimony is untouchable (and not in the good way). Judge Brown won’t tell you that. I just did.

Wow! Close!

So, has Mary Peltola announced for US Senate against Dan Sullivan yet?

What's taking her so long?
