I often retweet items and threads that intrigue me, whether I agree with them or not. Almost every night I quote tweet rolled up threads from authors I follow on the

This is a very, very bad decision from one of the two Reagan judges left on the Fifth Circuit, joined by one of the two most extreme Trump appointees on the court.

And, it is about the issue I walked through at Law Dork earlier this week, in the context of Minnesota: www.lawdork.com/i/186796727/...

I think the Olympic ideal of peace and harmony is best captured by a room full of people, all from different countries from across the globe, booing JD Vance together.

May he be greeted by such vocal harmony every day.

Good Shabbos

#shabbatshalom
The image depicts a cozy dining table setting, likely prepared for a special meal or celebration. In the foreground, there are two beautifully braided loaves of shiny, golden-brown bread, which appear freshly baked. Surrounding the bread are several glasses filled with a dark red beverage, possibly red wine or grape juice. In the middle of the table, there are two lit candles in decorative holders, each featuring a design with birds and foliage, adding a warm and inviting ambiance. Behind the candles, a bottle of white wine and a clear glass pitcher filled with water are visible. There are also some white flowers arranged in a vase, contributing to the elegant and homely atmosphere. In the background, a bookshelf filled with books and a window with stained glass art can be seen, suggesting the setting is in a comfortable, lived-in home. The overall scene conveys a sense of warmth, tradition, and togetherness, possibly hinting at a festive or family gathering.

Trump says he won't apologize for racist post depicting the Obamas as apes
The White House initially defended Trump's post, saying it was "from an internet meme video." But after backlash — including from Republicans — it was removed.
