I don't take tips on virtue from a man who used a pic of his stillborn child for a GoFundMe campaign for his children's burial garden named "Lincoln’s Place" when the project was never built, and Ogles repeatedly refused to disclose what happened to the tens of thousands of dollars donated.

Trump’s new AI website is kinda fun, it turns out.
Can the president use taxpayer funds to air his old campaign ads on TV?

No. Federal appropriations law has long barred using taxpayer funds for political advertising.

This truly is horrifying. Not only is he unlawfully spending OUR money on a political ad, the whole point of the ad is that roughly half of the country consists of enemies who must be conquered.

a bill which provided a strong footing for civil liability and punitive damages that attaches to Flock itself as well as the civil jurisdiction in question would do wonders for reining this kind of thing in.

Other news organizations should leave the White House. They can of course still cover the administration--almost none of their coverage depends on being there physically. But they shouldn't stay there, raising their hands dutifully in the briefing room, as if it's business as usual.

Democrats should be at the microphone right now noting that this is a Hatch Act violation that they'll be pursuing in January. I don't care that the nation's become numb to this shit. It's still illegal and if Democrats should run against it and then act to crush it.

Cunningham was a superstar in high school and cannot deal with the fact that she’s an incredibly middling role player who comes off the bench in the WNBA and simply isn’t a relevant player. The only way she can get any attention is by vocally hating trans people.

*Every* AUSA in Reno has left. Crazy! And Sigal Chattah’s insults are so offensive. My former colleagues in Reno were terrific, principled lawyers, and I am saddened (but not surprised) that they would leave rather than risking their careers, licenses, and reputations working for Chattah.

To sum up Alito: the 1A applies to the Internet, even though it did not exist; the 2A applies to semi automatic weapons, even though they didn’t exist; but the 14A *doesn’t* apply to kids of illegal immigrants, because there was *no way* the drafters could have foreseen illegal immigrants.
