Indeed, this is more than just a small inconvenience; as I've argued, it reflects deeper shadow docket pathologies:

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis diverted more than $35 MILLION in taxpayer dollars to defeat two ballot initiatives last year.
I’ve got the @miamiherald.com‘s blockbuster reporting on how DeSantis cheated needy Floridians and children from their already-earmarked funds.

@jeffcircle.bsky.social has produced an anthology of the best short crime fiction I have ever read all in one place. I highly recommend it, Myopic Duplicity. Found it through Bonnar's Crime Wave podcast 😎

I was embarrassed to admit I was a Christian when W. was president; now I'm outraged that they use His name to justify their nationalist bullshit,
Doesn't it strike you as strange that the people who shout long and loud that America is a Christian nation founded on Christian principles are the very people who don't want Christ's teachings of tolerance, pacifism, and generosity codified in law?

@gtconway.bsky.social @muellershewrote.com @angrystaffer.bsky.social I have a question for you, who are much closer than I am to, um, things: if Peter Thiel decides Trump is going off the rails, won't he get Vance and the spineless cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment?

I don't believe Donald Trump was involved in Epstein's sex trafficking ring... I believe Epstein was involved in Donald Trumps sex trafficking ring. Trump plays second fiddle to no one. Epstein didn't buy the Miss Teen USA pageant, Trump did. Do you actually think it was for the investment?

If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Accurate about a Pathological Liar and Convicted Felon who Incited an Insurrection, tried to Steal a Fair Election and is Covering up Sex Crimes against Children, shouldn't his Disgraceful Presidency be terminated? I say, YES!

I’ve made a copy of the 60 Minutes INSIDE CECOT segment. If Substack takes it down, I’ll put it up on my website. I know there are cleaner copies out there, but I kinda like the punk rock bootlegged version. The link is in my pinned post if you haven’t seen it yet.

I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?
