Everything being said about prohibitions on personal glorification and political campaigns is correct, but also note that 31 USC 1301 prohibits spending any appropriated funds for any purpose not specified in the appropriation. Doing so therefore violates the Anti-Deficiency Act and is a crime.

Moed Tov! Суккот муборак! Today I joined Rabbi Shlomo Nisanov in Kew Gardens to distribute free food to New Yorkers in honor of Sukkot. Thank you to Rabbi Nisanov for the reminder that community and service deepen our most joyful holidays.

Interesting instance of confirmation of the @mattyglesias.bsky.social theory* that talking about immigration helps Trump *or is it an axiom?

Mullin can’t speak honestly about Delaney Hall if he’s never walked through its doors. People are suffering. I’ve seen it firsthand, I’ve heard from detainees. It’s brutal. So because Mullin can’t show up for his job, I made sure he heard the truth from me.

BREAKING: An Iowa state court dismisses President Donald Trump’s frivolous lawsuit against veteran pollster J. Ann Selzer (represented by @thefireorg.bsky.social) and the Des Moines Register newspaper, a victory for First Amendment rights. Opinion here: www.fire.org/research-lea...

This case sets a President, a member of Congress, and a former state senator against a pollster and a newspaper, and it arises out of an election. A case of that kind invites the reader to look for a political result. The Court’s role is narrower. It is to sit as an impartial arbiter, to apply the law without passion or prejudice, and to rule without regard to the politics of the day. As such, the only question before the Court is whether the Petition states a claim the law recognizes. At its core, the Plaintiffs’ Petition seeks to stretch both Iowa statutory and common law beyond their current bounds, turning speech that enjoys the highest category of First Amendment protection into a liability. After considering the parties’ arguments, the Court must conclude that the protection is too great and the reach is too far. The case must therefore be dismissed.

My dad wasn't exactly a universal role model for parents, but I will never be able to thank him enough for coming to my baseball games and watching me - admittedly an average talent who tried hard - without saying a critical word. He loathed parents like this guy, and with good reason.

If executive branch creates a system so that people under government control can be located and then just stops listing some people in that system — despite their still being under government control — that should be a five-alarm fire for the other branches, the states, and the public.

I truly don’t understand this “transplant” nonsense. The whole THING about NYC is that ppl come here from other places to mutate into New Yorkers! TO SEE IF THEY CAN BE KING OF THE HILL, TOP OF THE HEAP! Imho a rando who moved here a year ago is the MOST NY person. Welcome Ohio rando, have a bagel

And if no one “raised the salience” of Trump’s horrible immigration policies, &public opinion didn’t move against them, would “we” actually change those policies when we could ? Or would “we” argue that bc those policies poll least-bad for republicans that means dems shouldn’t “raise their salience”

A tempest in a teapot in California, where the UCLA chancellor attacked professors for holding a symposium on 25 years after 9/11 and inviting a federal lawyer who represents Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Here's a good statement from the organizers.
