I'm sick of having to refer to that wretched bill that's damaging our people and our economy by its misnomered title. Henceforth, I'll just refer to it as HR1.

Minnesotans, please vote for Sec of State Steve Simon. His GOP opponent's platform is to bring back the obsolete state flag, but somehow he hasn't yet been laughed out of the race. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/1...

Trump’s interest in Minnesota elections puts new attention on Secretary of State race
Secretary of State Steve Simon said he’ll stand up to the Trump administration to protect Minnesota’s voter rolls, while Republican challenger Tad Jude said Simon has politicized the office.

Happy first week of #scotus new term to all who celebrate! (that's me) Today's argument is ANDERSON v INTEL, an ERISA case. The question before the court is whether a claim against a retirement fund fiduciary due to fund underperformance requires a benchmark (eg, a comparable fund).

Are you ready for some SCOTUS? New term begins today. First up: SUNCOR v. BOULDER re: whether out-of-state climate change impacts can be litigated by state regulatory agency JOHNSON v. U.S. CONGRESS re: jurisdiction of VJRA; which courts hear constitutional challenges to veterans' benefits law

Disinformation regarding the Cornell rape case doesn't even make sense: Breitbart claims that the victim went to police saying all actions were consensual... If that were the case, why would she have gone to police???

Thankfully the judge has issued due dates for next steps to change the 14-day TRO to preliminary injunction: - Request due from plaintiffs 28-Sep - Defendant response due 02-Oct - Plaintiff reply (if any) due 05-Oct - Hearing date TBD

OK White House IS now reinstating press badges to comply with the TRO. They just took 3 hours, slow walking it. So, judge denied emergency hearing. Upcoming dates (re: changing TRO to prelim injunction): - Request due from CNN 28Sep - Potus response due 02Oct - CNN reply due 05Oct - Hearing TBD

Oh my: reporters still being denied access to the WH, in violation of the TRO. (I know there’s buzz that potus regularly ignores court orders, but that’s not true. This is the first time I’ve seen the admin *actually* defy an order.)

My favorite part: The administration had submitted to the court some examples of reporting they find objectionable. The judge notes that many of these articles were written by reporters who don’t hold WH passes. Doh!

Stop saying that he said he was pulled from 9/11 rubble. He didn't say that. To review: ✅ He said he was carried out of the US Steel Bldg (One Liberty Plaza) due to fears of collapse ✅ There were rumors about that bldg's safety 🛑 The rumors were untrue; bldg was safe 🛑 No one was carried out of it

Ventured to the suburbs today for a few appointments. Decided to park once and walk the few blocks between them. I’d forgotten how unwalkable suburban areas are!

Oh look, Kennedy Center signage change is delayed by 30 days. Probably because the judge threatened TRO if they didn't. (Also, DoJ argues that the building is in such poor repair that it will soon be "decrepit" without a reno. It's only 55 years old! Such obvious lies. 🙄)
Court filing from Defendents, notifying judge that their signage update to include Trump's name is now scheduled for Oct 8th. (It was previously Sept 8th)

Oof that Kennedy Center hearing today! 1. Judge told defendants to delay their desired Sept 8th signage install, or face a TRO. 2. Plaintiffs argue that defendants have mismanaged the center for a year & recent moves are a coverup. 👀

I'm getting awfully tired of this administration intentionally violating federal law. In the next congress, we need some consequences for these actions. I propose codifying that the exec branch's intentional violation of CFR is classified as a High Crime and Misdemeanor.
