The rise of app-based sports gambling was the result of a Supreme Court opinion written by Sam Alito applying a doctrine invented by Antonin Scalia. Also sports gambling is not legal in Minnesota

JUST IN: Four demonstrators who still face conspiracy charges tied to ICE protests in Broadview seek records relating to "any improper influence exerted upon the U.S. Attorney's office." The motion includes a pic of President Trump's image on the front entryway of the Justice Department:
An image of President Donald Trump's face at the entryway to the Justice Department, followed by the words: 

"The public record is replete with public admissions regarding the weaponization of the Department of Justice and federal courts to retaliate against perceived political enemies and those that oppose its agendas, as reflected in federal court dockets, from administration officials’ own mouths.1 Since Watergate, there had been a strong norm that the White House would not and did not direct specific targets, investigations or criminal cases. There is prima facie evidence that the Trump White House has repeatedly crossed that line and that it did so in this case in going after its “enemies.”
For example, the record readily shows how the Trump Administration and its allies have expressly targeted Ms. Abughazaleh on numerous occasions in response to her public criticisms of it and its aggressive immigration enforcement tactics. On September 19, 2025 -- widely-spread video captured a CBP officer grabbing Ms. Abughazaleh by the chest and violently slamming her"

@sky.skymarchini.net If the Trump trajectory takes the most darkly funny path, he’s gonna die (of natural causes) just as all the fires he starts turn into a massive inferno. Watching Vance piss himself in a crisis he can’t BS his way out might dull the edge of such a panic inducing nightmare.

For everything else about Trump, it's remarkable how similar his natsec process is to George W. Bush. It's seemingly almost entirely driven by an insular and small group of people with pathological fixations on working informally to steer all American policy toward their decades-long grievances.
