Question about the dissent by (the far-right) Justice Ziegler: Does this quote actually appear in Moore v. Harper? Did Moore say that state courts' role in congressional redistricting is "exceedingly limited"? I don't think it did! vhdshf2oms2wcnsvk7sdv3so.blob.core.windows.net/thearp-media...

Wisconsin friends - we are coming upon nomination paper circulation time for the April election. For the love of Pete, please double check your papers, then have someone else double check them, then check one more time. It’s easy to do right and you don’t want a challenge!!!

If you are watching any of the incredible videos of the Israeli hostages reuniting with their families - they are all saying this prayer. It is a prayer we say in so many circumstances. When we start a new year, when family comes together, or, today, when a miracle has happened.

I’m hearing rumblings that more high-powered legal talent are joining Judge Hannah Dugan’s team to challenge the gov’t’s shocking charges against her. Already representing her is Steve Biskupic, a former US Atty under George W. Bush. 1/2

This video interview with News Nation was interesting - the host thought her question about the law was a ‘gotcha.’ But, obviously, it was not. They are trying to sanitize arrest of Judge Hannah Dugan and failing at it.

Why do so many people feel like late-night ballot totals are new (when they are not)? Answer: It has everything to do with the difference between “calling” an election, and having complete totals in. A thread: 1/10

As if the entire Hegseth / Atlantic reporter debacle wasn’t bad enough, consider that Hegseth was posting about targets, weapons and attack sequencing. He wasn’t typing that with two thumbs. He was copying & pasting it from what was likely a top-secret document that was on his un-secured phone.

NEW: The Supreme Court *will not* take up casino mogul Steve Wynn's bid to overturn the landmark free press ruling in New York Times v. Sullivan. The case, Wynn v. Associated Press, No. 24-829, was denied with no noted dissents or statements. #SCOTUS

When people reject the processes & rules of government, they wind up doing stupid things like adding a reporter to a text string about ACTUAL WAR PLANS.
In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

I see some suggestions, in the reporting regarding the OMB impoundment order, that a mere delay in spending appropriated funds is legal. But that's not really true. The delay OMB has ordered specifically contradicts the Impoundment Control Act. A thread.
