It’s no accident community college dropout Chuck Kirk usually “debated” college kids: the few times he engaged actual experts, even just ppl his own age—he usually regretted it. I’m legit insulted UCLA (illegally) fired me for posting truth about this dumb ass bigot. www.gofundme.com/f/waiting-fo...

Speculation that Eric Schmitt could be Vance’s vice presidential pick seems to have fizzled as quickly as it surfaced.

> Toucan chick just popping in to show you their favorite toy. And... those TOES. Toucans have zygodactyl feet, meaning they have two toes pointing forward and two pointing backward. This gives them an extra-strong grip for moving around in the trees. [📸 Keeper Gauge | Tanganyika Wildlife Park]
Baby toucan holding up a bright orange crochet dinosaur in their still-short beak. They're standing on a desk, which shows off the toes nicely. The young bird standing by their dinosaur and some colorful polygonal toys. Their big round eyes look very cute and innocent.

A paper sign in the foreground reads "toucan playground."

A lawyer's least favorite thing is when a client tries to second-guess them by using ChatGPT for legal research. So it should come as no surprise that Lane Kiffin almost got LSU kicked out of the SEC by doing the same thing. What an assclown.

When Mayor Mamdani was in the Democratic primary, I ranked him second (behind Brad Lander). I had moved from NYC before the general election, but I vociferously supported Mamdani over Cuomo. Many Jewish friends asked how I could “support an anti-Semite”. I responded, “I wouldn’t and I’m not”.

On another platform, @pjaicomo.bsky.social asks a good question. Anyone seen SCOTUS give one party an open-ended, one-sided opportunity to name their own "question presented"?
This seems like a very uncommon QP from the Supreme Court in today's cert. grant in DHS v. DVD.
Is anyone aware of a similarly open-ended and one-sided QP like this in another case?
CERTIORARI GRANTED
DEPT. OF HOMELAND SEC., ET AL. V. D.V.D., ET AL.
The application for stay presented to Justice Jackson and
by her referred to the Court is granted. The February 25, 2026
order and judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, case No. 1:25-cv-10676, are stayed.
The application is also treated as a petition for a writ of
certiorari, and the petition is granted. The parties are
directed to brief and argue the following questions: (1) Whether
the district court had jurisdiction over Respondents' claims.
(2) Whether the district court had authority to enter classwide
declaratory relief and APA vacatur under 8 U. S. C. §1252(f) (1).
(3) Whether the Government's Guidance on third-country removals is unlawful under 8 U. S. C. §1231(b), the Due Process Clause, or FARRA/CAT and its implementing regulations.
*(4) Such other
questions that the Government determines are appropriate for the
proper disposition of the case.* The Clerk is directed to
establish a briefing schedule that will allow the case to be
argued in the December 2026 argument session. The stay shall
terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of this Court.
Justice Sotomayor, Justice Kagan, and Justice Jackson would
deny the application
for stay.

There is a cottage industry on that other site of people in official government legal jobs affirmatively misstating or misrepresenting what rulings are about and then expressing surprise that anyone could possibly disagree. Just the latest example—from the Solicitor General of Iowa:
“Can President Trump use lawful authority granted by Congress to deport illegal aliens to third countries? The Supreme Court has stayed an order saying no twice, now stayed a permanent injunction for a third time. Oddly, 6-3 despite a similar posture to the Missouri First map”
