A couple of good wins this month for @HamLincLaw @annastjohn @FrankBednarz in the Seventh and Second Circuits—and a personal accomplishment of mildly historic nature. Links in next tweet.

Trump’s plan is working perfectly. The libs will now boycott Disney, cutting them off from Andor and depriving them of any knowledge of how to resist fascism.

Waiting for the language in the Executive Order, but the administration appears to want a company to pay $100,000 per year to the government for each H-1B worker it employs. The theory: firms will hire U.S. workers instead. The reality: firms will just move jobs overseas where

Do any of the "Hamas can play NO PART" people understand that Hamas and the PA have a politically binding agreement to play a part in any future State of Palestine? Always read @DanLinnaeus's analysis:
But the Palestinian Authority promised to integrate Hamas and Islamic Jihad into post-war governance within a year in Beijing last year. Even if the NY Declaration says no Hamas involvement in post-conflict Gaza, the Beijing Declaration is ‘politically binding’ on the PLO and

Keep in mind, though, that I’m a literal Frankenstein’s monster built by surgeons from pieces and scraps to defeat death, so consider short-term liquidity issues in your tax planning.

Not really surprising to any track fan, and underscores why even though it seems weird to a lot of outsiders and human rights lawyers, World Athletics had to fight the Caster Semenya fight.
Story from here in Tokyo. Sex tests brought in after data showed 50-60 DSD athletes in global and regional finals between 2000 and 2023, World Athletics says. https://t.co/F8tAQO6pvP

Cert petition: Does the 9th Circuit's ruling conflict with a ruling from the court it reversed? I think the bar exam is terrible in many ways, but stuff like this makes me think it needs to be far more difficult.

Sarah (Sairey) Gamp in Charles Dickens’ Martin Chuzzlewit was a fat woman with a husky voice. Her face and nose were somewhat red and swollen, and it was difficult to enjoy her society without becoming conscious of a smell of spirits. Her bottle, she insisted, was always

9/ Those numbers were already inflation adjusted! Note the word "real". We are literally 8x richer today than in 1950. Boomers were born into an EXCEEDINGLY poor country! https://t.co/SZEF5ldAmY

@MorlockP We have significantly more conveniences, but paradoxically, $90k today buys less than $9.5k did then.

Ignorant people like me begin to wonder whether there might be a relationship here worth exploring, one that one of our parties is not allowed by its activists to even admit exists.

The asymmetry of the federal judiciary and jury pool in Washington DC is a significant longterm structural risk for conservative governance.

ICYMI, after Sinclair Broadcast Group purchased the local NBC affiliate here, Harry Reid and his COS communicated w/the CEO of Sinclair and asked him to take my show off the air. Awaiting fed approval of the purchase, he did so. Yes, I have the receipts. https://t.co/bzEivtqzUR

One of the most effective arguments against censorship, procedural norm breaking, etc. is “imagine if the other side did this to you.” This argument breaks down when people respond “They already did.”
You are a liberal. You're concerned that the government has stifled a man's speech over misinformation. Tomorrow you will wake up and buy your morning coffee, but your card gets declined. Bank of America says that you violated terms and conditions. There's a grainy photograph of

That first paragraph gives me an excuse to roll out William Faulkner: "in writing you must kill all your darlings." (Yes, pedants, the quote is attributed to lots of people. I like Faulkner.)
A reminder that winning at SCOTUS does not mean you win the case. The plaintiff in Barnes v Felix, who was shot by the police, and won in the Supreme Court a few months ago, loses his case on summary judgment. https://t.co/RrF9GUSXcK

I give permission to any of my relatives to view me as a tax avoidance vessel the next time I'm dying. Indeed, I would view it as the moral thing to do, because even my most profligate relative would spend the money better than the government.
@money_cruncher @90daysliquidity Also, viewing your dying grandmother as a tax avoidance vessel is morally questionable
