Not long ago, the idea of polling judges and asking them to cast votes, but not offer reasons, would have seemed reductive. "That's not what judges do." On the emergency docket today, this is all the Supreme Court does. Red and blue dots are perfect. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

Under the bill, the process of getting removed from Medicaid takes about three months. But when unemployment gets above 7 percent, most people need more than three months to find their next job. So if they're just looking for work, they'll lose their Medicaid.

Wonky thread on Linda McMahon’s cancellation of reimbursement for billions in K-12 spending. It's bad news for kids. It's also an example of how the Administration talks devolving power to states, but actually turns states into supplicants.

Proud companion to this happy warrior @teslatakedown.com today in Arlington. Also saw a former boss’s husband, a college friend, and my kid’s old music teacher. Rock on. #teslatakedown

Skadden Fellows (I was one) receive funding to do legal services work, polishing the firm's reputation and their own. The fellowship's founder is magical. Skadden has now ransomed the program to a new boss. The fellowship--and more importantly, the firm--are forever tarnished.

Super energy at #Teslatakedown Arlington VA. Huge respect for the small-d democrats organizing these.

Yesterday's #TeslaTakedown in Arlington, VA was fun and fortifying. Honking cars never sounded so good.

WH spox: “The Biden executive order to create a police accountability database contained concepts we dislike. Therefore, we deleted the database. We first proposed it in the first place? Nevermind www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
