These are terrible human beings, and they should be kept as far away from power as possible.

As a side note, this is John McEntee, Trump's Director of White House Personnel and the primary architect of Project 2025. On Tik Tok he said he gives counterfeit bills to homeless people so they will be arrested when they go to spend them.

Lmao they just changed the title of the piece from “Why I don’t vote” to “Why I won’t vote” rather than tell readers that the guy actually does vote

Gonna have to reform the curricula a bit. Conlaw is now part of American History. Soviet studies is run by the law school. Journalism is now a minor in sport studies. Computer science is run by the business school, contains no programming, and business majors are dualed with "creative fiction"

More like a counter revolution

I wrote this opinion piece for Bloomberg Law about how to help Congress respond to Loper Bright and other decisions. More staff and capacity, new procedures, etc. Regardless of specifics, just sneeringly saying, “Congress, do your job” is not the answer. And courts shouldn’t diss Congress. ⚖️

The Constitution doesn’t say whether or not Congress can pass laws granting discretion in regulatory standards to an executive agency staffed by experts. *Both* the Chevron ruling saying Congress can and the recent Loper Bright ruling saying Congress can’t were judges winging it.

Chevron famously said, "Judges are not experts in the field, and are not part of either political branch of the Government." Today, Roberts and the other chaos agents on the court say: "Judges are the only experts in any field, and can dictate policy to either political branch of the Gov't"

Good news everyone, John Roberts who called the science behind determining gerrymanders "sociological gobbledygook" just gave himself the power to rule on extremely technical matters over the expertise of people who have dedicated their lives to mastering administrative tasks.

The correct response to Chevron being overturned is for every single environmental group to start filing millions of lawsuits, right now, today, arguing that various regulatory decisions didn't go far enough. Absolutely flood the zone.

There is no law that requires the federal government to maintain and use social media accounts on any particular website. Biden won't do this, but he absolutely could and should order them to all stop using this one, from the White House on down.

So that’s the second time in less than a year that Elon Musk has *personally restored* an account posting child sexual abuse material on Twitter.

I think one of the really under-appreciated things in the US is how much SCOTUS' statutory interpretation decisions are damaging--and they are--but almost exclusively because of /Congress/ being a failed institution.

You really can't appreciate how ugly the Cybertruck is until you see it in person.

The courts have given media a freebie to start using basic words for Donald Trump and assume basic facts are in evidence. When you don't see that, you're seeing a choice.

How Not to Report on Donald Trump - Truthdigwww.truthdig.com A.G. “Dash” Sulzberger’s Silicon Valley-inflected skepticism and open-debate pieties are a recipe for dangerously irresponsible journalism by omission.
