I was thinking about the Anthropic, SpaceX, and OpenAI IPOs. What this might be a harbinger of is the end of public markets as a mechanism for growing wealth. Wealth inequality is so extreme that VCs, PE funds, and wealth investors no longer need a public market for growth, just exit liquidity.

Former Republican Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert died this morning. For 16 years, while he was a coach and government teacher at Yorkville High School in Yorkville, Illinois, Hastert sexually abused at least four boys (and likely more). (thread)

It would be really nice if we got some polls in Minnesota that were from good pollsters. So far virtually all of them have been from pollsters with less than sterling reputations. Given where things are I think Tafoya will pull in the low 40s, but that's probably her ceiling in this state.

There are GOP politicians who are not pedophiles or personally massively corrupt, but all of them are in submissive thrall to a president who *is* a corrupt pedophile, and who has, by virtue of his position, made the party into his own image. It now protects and valorizes immorality and corruption.

The Vikings are the third team in NFL history to start 4-0 despite multiple games with no touchdowns, joining the 1922 (and 1923) Chicago Cardinals.

Vikings are third team start 4-0 while not scoring a TD in multiple games
The Vikings have essentially co-opted the slogan of the team that beat Minnesota in its most recent Super Bowl appearance, 50 years ago.

Brazil also warns us that the entire Trump family needs to be locked up. All of them. No compromises, you cannot let such corruption fester. None of them can EVER be allowed to have a position of trust or power in government again. If that means we put them in ADX Florence for eternity, we do it.

This is why we need a Nuremberg 2.0. We cannot risk being where we are again, and if that means we treat MAGA like we did the Nazis, then we have to do it. I honestly think that to restore democracy we are going to make some very hard choices in the very near future.

Brazil is strongly indicating that just beating the fascists at the ballot box is not enough. You have to ensure that the cancer of fascism does not return again. Hungary’s model may be better - put them *all* in jail and rip out their support structures root and branch.

Something to keep in mind is Lula actually did do some of the things people on here are very confident in like prosecuting Jair Bolsonaro and restricting social media to try and staunch the far-right propaganda. It appears to have mattered little

I cannot stress enough how fucking illegal this is. “Donald Trump is a criminal who keeps committing crimes, and now he wants to bribe voters to keep Republicans in office so he can—you guessed it—commit more crimes.” If you can’t message around that, no one can help you.

We’re not talking another January 6th Commission. We are talking on Day 1 hour 1 every MAGA official gets an arrest warrant, all their assets and accounts seized, their passports canceled, and we start drumhead trials the next day. Trump leaves the Oval in handcuffs, not as a dignitary.

We have already crossed the Rubicon in this country. To restore regular Constitutional order means removing MAGAs corruption. Every MAGA judge impeached, every MAGA employee fired, every ICE agent fired and ICE eliminated. We have to treat this regime like a cancer and rip it out wholesale.

It was this month, October, in 1959 when Robert Zimmerman started using the stage name Bob Dillon at the Ten o’clock Scholar in Minneapolis. He’d just arrived from Hibbing for his first year at the University of Minnesota and was trying to make a (new) name for himself at the folk clubs of Dinkytown
A view out the window of the Scholar cafe in Dinkytown A dark black and white photo in the minneapolis star
tues., dec. 16, 1975
caption; 
John Koerner and Bob Dylan jam at the Scholar, circa 1960 Lee remembers Bob as a "cleancut kid," very intense and deter-mined.
"Do you mind if I play?" Bob asked when he wandered into The Scholar sometime in October. "I want to be a folk singer."
Lee chatted with him briefly, learned that Bob had some experience, and told him it was all right to play. "I'm not going to pay you," …

For a very clear comparison, emulating Magyar would be removing all the MAGA justices and judges from Federal Courts in the first 100 days. That is the scale of democratic chemotherapy we are discussing.

The US Democrats need to look at their next Presidency as an endless sprint to obliterate MAGA, every day for years. Until the cancer is gone then there should be no time wasted on MAGA tears or conciliation. Only endless justice and rebuilding the democracy. Govern like every day is the last day.

Honestly, I think we are in such a constitutional crisis where we just say “to hell with it, we are just not honoring the pardon process here.” We need to formally declare the Trump regime to be outside the constitutional order under the Insurrection Clause of the 14th Amendment.

Agreed, it’s a necessary first step. That is a process that will take generations. No country can trust us if 70k people in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania can turn this country into a fascist state. We won’t be trusted for decades, and never will be if MAGA is not fully repudiated.

Will is 100% right. Has happened to multiple clients of mine. One judge (not my case) has said that this isn't really release and ordered the person *actually* released. But it's forcing us habeas attorneys to win our cases twice (or more)
On September 9, 2026, Respondents permitted Pablo F. to exit the building where 
he was detained, but he was immediately swarmed by four ICE officers and handcuffed as 
soon as he stepped outside. (Doc. No. 25-3 at 4:48:45–4:49:26.)3
 The officers drove him
to the back of the Whipple building and returned him to a holding cell. (Doc. No. 21 ¶¶ 8–
9; Doc. No. 25 ¶ 5.) During this encounter, officers dislocated Pablo F.’s shoulder. (Doc. 
No. 21 ¶ 7.)4
 Pablo F. now bringsthis Motion seeking to enforce the Court’s Order granting 
the Petition.Again, Respondents make no attempt whatsoever to support their assertion that 
Pablo F. was released. Absent any such argument, the Court cannot agree that a reasonable 
person would have felt free to leave when exiting the detention facility and immediately 
being stopped by ICE officers. Likewise, absent some argument, the Court necessarily 
concludes that Pablo F. was subject to restraints not shared by the public generally when 
he took one step outside of the detention facility and was immediately stopped by ICE 
officers who forcibly returned him to a detention cell. Because Respondents do not make 
any legal argument that Pablo F. was ever meaningfully released from custody, the Court 
grants the motion and orders Pablo F.’s release.6
6 To be clear, Pablo F. is not arguing, and the Court is not concluding, that an order of 
release in a habeas matter renders unlawful any future arrests. Rather, the Court reaches 
the narrow conclusion that because Respondents advance no legal argument in this case to 
support their assertion that Pablo F. was released from custody, and because the 
uncontested facts show that ICE officers immediately swarmed Pablo F. as soon as he 
stepped out of the building, Pablo F. was not released from custody.
