good to see, since society must discourage baldfaced lying (especially by authorities) to keep functioning. some other consequences to go along with this would be even better

A tweet from Frank Luntz reporting that a baby in Kentucky died of whooping cough, the third such death from pertussis in a year. He says the Kentucky Department of Public Health confirmed none of the infants or their mothers were vaccinated. Below is a photo of an empty medical exam room with a paper-covered exam table and medical instruments on the wall.

In the end, it didn’t cut government spending, and there was no promised “savings.” In the end, DOGE destroyed countless lives, ravaged American soft power, killed hundreds of thousands of people around the world (soon millions), & stole your data. Elon Musk should be on trial.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone. Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work. Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

No place is President Trump's crusade against free speech more evident than in public schools and universities. This new McCarthyism endangers our right to learn and speak free from government censorship, but President Trump can't rewrite the First Amendment no matter how hard he tries.
insidehighered.com
Amid Trump’s Assault on Free Speech, Advocates Stay Busy
Three nonprofit legal organizations say their caseload has ramped up significantly since Trump took office. But so has public support for their work. Jameel Jaffer, a civil rights litigator for more than 25 years, said there is no question that President Donald Trump’s assault on free speech is unprecedented in his lifetime. And while he noted there may be some rough comparisons to be made with the McCarthy era, it almost certainly has no parallel in the last 100 years.

The 10 judges are drawn from the pool of all non-recused active judges and any senior judges who were on the panel and wish to be eligible (so, Judge Graber would presumably be in the pool here). Among other things, that means the "en banc" court could easily skew to either side of the split.

Just a reminder that "en banc" review in the Ninth Circuit is ... unique. The full court (29 active judges, currently with a 16-13 D-R split) votes on whether or not to rehear a case en banc. If so, then *10* judges are randomly drawn to sit with Chief Judge Murguia as the "en banc" court.

When Trump says he’s cutting “democratic programs”, he’s referring to the ACA, SNAP, Medicare, Medicaid, social security… His pitch to the base is, “I’m taking things you depend on because they were championed by people you don’t like…and giving you nothing from the people you do like.” Winning.
