DOJ’s attempts to charge these cases in DC and LA have been resoundingly unsuccessful. Grand juries have rejected a huge proportion of the attempts to indict. One case in LA that went to trial as a misdemeanor recently ended in acquittal

It's not just bribery. He's now using personal litigation, backed by state extortion, to extract "settlements" which he then puts into an account he created to spend on government work, all entirely outside of Congress taxing or appropriating. It's full Charles I illegal taxation and spending.

BREAKING YouTube has agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle the lawsuit brought by President Trump against the company for suspending his account. Most of the funds will go towards the fund the president setup for the White House ballroom. Full Story: on.wsj.com/46IT4P1

Yes: Directionally right, but underestimated the speed and scale of the collapse.
Main error: assuming SCOTUS would defend the law, maintain guardrails.

My thesis is that no matter how doomer you were in Nov. 2024, we're probably past your worst-case scenario for the first 9 months of this administration. It's very strange for me to realize I wasn't pessimistic enough. www.thebulwark.com/p/we-are-in-...

If it’s copyrighted material, it seems to me either you can’t use it without running afoul of copyright or you cannot. “This would be infringing except for that we give you an opt-out” is not a thing, that I know of. Your copyright *is* your reservation of rights, you don’t have to say “Even you.”

Look at what the United States Government is citing in the birthright citizenship case.
Non-expert legal scholarship and work done hastily in service of their political goals.

Trump's petition asking the Supreme Court to let him officially redefine (read: rescind) birthright citizenship is now available and I wish I did not have to worry about the Supreme Court taking seriously such obviously, egregiously unserious & racist bullshit www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25...

Rowling loves censorship by litigation, and she's an obsessive hater, but neither of those are all that unusual. What's uniquely psychotic is this attitude she owns people for life because they played a role in movies based on her books 20+ years ago. Emma Watson is not actually Hermione Granger!
The Hollywood Reporter@thr.com
Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling has hit out at Emma Watson in a lengthy statement on X, saying: “She has so little experience of real life she’s ignorant of how ignorant she is.”

I expanded the points in the thread into the short piece below. This is the VDem trajectories in rule of law and control of corruption that illustrate Sandu's successful record. She took office in 2020.

Trying hard to moderate my Maia Sandu fangirling right now, but I gotta stress she's accomplished something no EEuropean reformist ever has: brought a fugitive oligarch back to face justice AND fended off massive Ru interference to win a referendum and two re-elections (parliamentary+presidential)!

Incredible. They once again wrote a brief that simply pretends that Lynch v. Clarke, the first major case on birthright citizenship, just simply does not exist. It gets not a single mention or acknowledgment.

Future historians will understand that the key factor in the slide to authoritarianism was the total collapse of the GOP as a pro-democracy party, & the total failure of its not-actually "moderate" & "pro-democracy" rump minority to ally with Democrats & put an end to fascism. But sure, Murc's Law.

notably most people who have a lot of expertise in the AI side of this are quiet in public because they might be sued or called as witnesses in relevant cases

This is the most pointless virtue signalling I’ve seen in a hot minute. This is a law that would do absolutely nothing. It’s already well-established that provinces aren’t forced to implement treaties that fall under provincial jurisdiction. This is pure posturing. What a waste of time.

Has this person never read a poll or followed a state level election? Over 60% of Americans support abortion being legal in most cases & abortion has won every. Single. Time. Its been on the ballot in the last 5 yrs. Its MORE popular than the Dem party & has won where Dem politicians have lost races
Mia Brett@queenmab.bsky.social
Pro abortion politics are very popular. Every time a man says Dems should compromise on abortion to win votes they’re exposing their misogyny. There’s literally no other reason to suggest the compromise

Firing bullets that hit a car is a seizure of its driver, even if the driver isn't stopped, CA11 holds, extending Torres v Madrid. Torres says we look to the common law, and back then, assaulting a horse or horse-drawn carriage was an assault on its rider.

It's finally driving me nuts: Lindsey Halligan is a *tort lawyer*, who insurance companies hired to defend lawsuits. She had never been an *insurance lawyer*. She could not hack it as an insurance lawyer.
