I’m still reading Don Quixote at night and still really enjoying it

I don’t think I’ll ever get over how funny Sancho Panza is

Heraty Law @heratylaw.bsky.social · Aug 16

Sancho Panza is somehow a one-man greek chorus? And also wise (relative to Quixote) but also gullible? Incredible character.

Who can forget him being bounced on a blanket by the townfolk after he and Quixote dined-and-dashed? Not him, that’s for sure.

I’m reading Don Quixote (the Edith Grossman translation) and it’s so funny and self-reflexive and clever, nobody told me how funny it was!

Trump attorney Eric Hamilton confirms that Texas troops are on the way, but they are not expected to begin performing their duties "until tomorrow at the earliest."

wasn’t the point of this hearing a TRO to maintain the status quo?

Heraty Law @heratylaw.bsky.social · 1d

a TRO is meant to maintain the status quo before a hearing, and the status quo would’ve been not having Texas troops on the streets in Illinois, right?

But the judge declined a TRO.

Perry: "If I were the government, I might strongly consider taking a pause on this until Thursday, so that we are not in a position where we are doing a full-fledged hearing with whatever has happened."

Mitch SmithReporting from Chicago

In an emergency hearing, a federal judge declined to immediately block President Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to Chicago, as state and local officials had requested in a lawsuit filed this morning. She set a hearing for the issue on Thursday. Troops from Texas are on their way, according to a military official.
