Your fave former English teacher, recovering politician, current public interest attorney. Life of the party if the party has 3-5 people and preferably a dog. Parent. Queer. Tired.

How does George Soros afford so many paid protestors?

The position cited here by the White House is legitimately the most ridiculous thing that I have heard in years as an attorney. Absolutely insane.
A federal court’s jurisdiction does *not* stop at the water’s edge. The question is whether the *defendants* are subject to the court order, not *where* the conduct being challenged takes place.

Were it otherwise, the government could act lawlessly overseas and courts would be powerless to stop it.

So, uhm, four times as many French workers died as US workers building the Panama Canal, according to the govt's own resources. So, should it really belong to France? #SOTU

Wow. Nothing like attacking a trans child in the #SOTU - surely that will have no negative impact.

Child cancer has increased, and that's why we are tanking regs, destroying science, and ending vaccines! Trump, prolly. #SOTU

Trump is now repeating the already debunked lies about the Social Security database that Elon and his kiddos couldn't properly analyze. #SOTU

And he just repeated it, so there went the accident explanation...
What, exactly, will be the DOJ's response when the judge asks the govt to explain why Trump just said Elon is the head of DOGE when the DOJ has submitted that it is a random federal employee in Nashville? #SOTU
