This is has to be one of the craziest damn things a government lawyer has tried to do, right? This cannot be tolerable in a free society.

We think it's bad when lawyers representing the government hide their identity from the public.

He has committed well over 200 murders. By almost any metric, he is the most prolific serial killer in United States history.

One of the charges for his impeachment should be 200+ counts of murder. Make the public case on the war, and make him one of the fall guys for getting into a dumb war that Congress didn’t authorize. But make sure one of the charges in the articles is just “Murder”

The guy responsible for more than 200 murders wants to bring back public executions?

Fucking wild that this person is still employed/followed. "No, it's good that [insert group] children were murdered, I support that" should render you toxic to any employer or social media mutual. Don't care what group you want to insert there.

I wanted SDE III to reward me with a much smaller salary bump, and a better work life balance, and they just had no organizational ability to accommodate that. So I’m a little skeptical of this push by Bezos…

Fun fact: I left Amazon over a decade ago because I wanted my career progression to reward me more with additional vacation/PTO/work life balance instead of just more money. My manager wanted to retain me, but the company just didn’t have any way to do that

That’s why it doesn’t happen often. It’s basically two small steps away from open civil war.

Noah @ncallaway.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
But I’m operating inside that hypothetical. The reason it doesn’t happen often is… because it probably won’t work. Democrats, especially if they win a large number of seats, will likely have the real Congress, and playing this game will likely end in disaster for the Republicans

Noah @ncallaway.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Well, the scenario being proposed isn’t quite “outgoing Congress refuses to go”, but rather “Republicans attempt to compose the incoming Congress of only a portion of the members”. I think it’s a fairly unlikely scenario in a large wave election (less unlikely if it’s only a handful of seats)

Noah @ncallaway.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Basically, you would be in a situation where you have two rival Congresses dueling for legitimacy. You need the first headline to be: “democrats establish rival Congress, and impeach Trump and Vance” and not “democrats establish rival Congress and begin leadership process”

Noah @ncallaway.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
In that scenario there’s just not *time* for Democrats to search for a different leader. These are votes that need to happen within the first half-hour of the Congress sitting. Time is of *incredible* importance.

Noah @ncallaway.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Jeffries wouldn’t be my pick for Speaker in the abstract, or in a normal House process. In a situation where Democrats were refused to sit in Congress and so ran off to Philidelphia to establish a dueling Congress, and are trying to force acceptance of the real Congress?

I don’t want to hear from that fuck ever again. He should be persona non grata in the Democratic establishment. He’s a fucking joke. #1 on my shitty Democrat list, and it’s not even close. Give me Joe Manchin endorsing Susan Collins over fucking Polis, I hate him so much.

I really think a good chunk of it is that our politics are insane, and half of the political establishment promised that they would bring prices down, and the entire media ecosystem treated that like a normal, sane political promise

The reason is obvious when I get the right name: you’re clearing the line of succession of office holders between the speaker of the House and the President

The first three votes will force the GOP to respect the Democratic Senators. Force the GOP to acknowledge the real Senate, or risk that if they don’t attend the real Senate, that Trump/Vance will be convicted and Jeffries will gain de jure control of the military and national guard

Noah @ncallaway.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Nah, I think first vote: Elect Jeffries Speaker of the House. Second vote: impeach Trump Third vote: impeach Pence Expelling Johnson can be the fourth vote

It might drag Collins over the line if he dropped dead from exhaustion a week or two before the election

The secret alignment problem is that “alignment” is unsolvable as a concept, because *humans* are not aligned, so when people start talking about alignment, the first question is *who* is deciding which behaviors they should be aligning with

This is real. We did disposables for our first, and about halfway through our second’s diapers, but then she really started to get diaper rash consistently enough that we ended up permanently switching to disposables

If the value is nothing, then what’s the harm in someone saying they won’t tolerate it? If there is no value, then there is no harm in someone making a boundary of it. More importantly, making a boundary of it shows you the people that ignore the boundaries that are set

And friendly mockery from loved ones is so obviously a totally different context that online interactions with strangers, it’s a strange comparison to make

Noah @ncallaway.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Okay, both “other people tolerate X” and “X is not fatal” are not really reasonable criticisms of the boundaries someone has set.

As a Husky fan, I enjoyed watching this. But as a football fan, I can’t describe how ripshit angry I would normally be seeing these light pushes towards the sideline against a big TE

Something like restrictions on campaign finance spending might take a couple of decades to work through red enough red states, but you tee up a relatively popular amendment and let it slowly move through states on a longer cadence

Noah @ncallaway.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
An amendment that puts some kind of check and restriction on the pardon power might be easy to get through red state legislatures while there’s a D in office

I think for reforms that require a constitutional amendment, you accept that those are long term projects. But I think you could get some things done.

These statements came from the top, not line prosecutors — and defendants now cite them in vindictiveness and dismissal motions. When leadership treats the rules as optional, accountability must come from courts, bar authorities, and Congress. Full report:

Courts have noticed. Judges in the Abrego Garcia and Mangione cases found DOJ officials may have violated local rules on pretrial publicity, and one warned of sanctions. Less than two weeks later, Todd Blanche — now AG — said the administration was at “war” with “rogue activist judges.”

What we found: 👉 Then-AG Bondi calling an arraigned defendant a “monster” 👉 A decision to pursue death-penalty announced before indictment 👉 A U.S. Attorney vowing to prove guilt “beyond a reasonable doubt,” then dropping the case 👉 An official saying uncharged targets would be named and shamed

These rules aren’t technicalities. DOJ’s own regulation (28 C.F.R. § 50.2), the Justice Manual, and bar rules tell officials not to publicly opine on a defendant’s guilt, attack their character, or tout confessions. The goal: verdicts based on evidence, not on what officials say on TV.

New GLOW special report: “Trial by Press Conference.” We document dozens of public statements by six senior DOJ officials — Bondi, Blanche, Dhillon, Martin, Patel, and Pirro — that appear to violate the rules against trying cases in the press. 🧵

If the law means anything, the people that do this should be jailed for civil contempt. The judge should also immediately start whatever local process exists for bringing criminal contempt charges.

Noah @ncallaway.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Judges should haul the individual ICE agents who do this into their Court on an order to show Cause, and have them jailed in the Courthouse building until the person has been actually released.

I also think all of these people should be subject to conspiracy to commit murder charges if the subject is ever exonerated posthumously

And the judges involved in the trial, and the appellate judges that could have overturned the result (including SCOTUS justices)

I think extrapolating from the former to the latter is a mistake. I also think we should prosecute every person involved in the boat murders.
