Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

The president's authority as "commander in chief" refers to the military only. The president cannot use executive orders to expand the definition of who is eligible for birthright citizenship under the Fourteenth Amendment. The president's aide saying these things is a virulent white nationalist.

this wouldn’t work legally because a President has no authority to remove a Supreme Court justice. however the President could instead simply drone strike them. it sounds like i’m being snarky but as a result of the immunity decision this is the actual law.

*No* system is compatible with persistent and pervasive bad faith; liberal proceduralism is no exception. Playing whack-a-mole judging each distinct misdeed on the merits can't fix the problem because it isn't the appropriate tool--impeachments and criminal prosecutions are.

I think, every so often, about how the student protesters in South Korea figured out there was a finite supply of tear gas, and then staged retreating marches that caused police to burn off most of it, before the big "bring your auntie and kids" marches that ultimately toppled the dictatorship.

If you grew up in a household with an evangelical right-wing parent, as I did, you already know that the dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education, like the reversal of Roe v. Wade, is the culmination of a 50-year project.

The media should relentlessly be explaining three facts: 1. Payroll is a very small part of govt. spending 2. It is possible to cripple govt. and save little 2. In addition to being illegal/unconstitutional, DOGE cuts are a rounding error compared to numbers in budget resolution
