Thanks for posting these. An IP lawyer’s fever dream. Have an extra Sora invite code to share?

Not a popular guy! Companies considering cowering should bear that in mind and act accordingly

These findings in the new Washington Post poll jump off the page: Trump is underwater by 19 points on his handling of the economy (40/59) and underwater by 30 points on his handling of tariffs.

By contrast, the same poll found him at +14 net approval on the economy in Oct. 2020.

It happens, and may be happening more frequently. Judge Cannon dismissed Newmax’s recent suit against Fox News on procedural grounds about 48 hours after filing.

Or maybe it’s a Florida thing. (Newsmax refiled in Wisconsin)

On top of everything else about the pretextual censorship of Jimmy Kimmel, it speaks very poorly of how Disney/ABC will stick up for their talent in the face of bad faith attacks. The town should and will take notice.

Some context for thinking about crime:

Since the start of 2023, the murder rate in traditionally Republican states has been about 50% higher than in other states, even when you include D.C.

I’ve helped raise money for my law alma mater for years, but as I just emailed them, I will stop doing so if a UCLA capitulation happens in any shape or form

The billion dollars is the least of it. It’s universities’ autonomy, independence, and integrity that Trump is really after. www.cnn.com/2025/08/08/p...

Harry Enten: "I think we can say Donald Trump has lost the political battle when it comes to what has happened in Los Angeles. Trump's net approval rating on LA - way, way underwater at -15 points... this is happening on what should be on Donald Trump's best issue ... he's losing on his core issue"

Shame this wasn't filed on Halloween. Lawsuit over gravestone design just begs for judge to write, "Because the design lacks sufficient originality, this copyright claim is... dead."
