I am in a restaurant in Rockville, Maryland that played Daði Freyr's "10 Years" immediately followed by "Save Tonight" by Eagle-Eye Cherry. Do they just play Scandipop?

Ah, so you'd be in favor of extending § 1983 to cover acts by federal officials in addition to state officials or otherwise expanding the scope of Bivens?

Weil Gotshal has now requested another ~$50m in this case for 1Q26. The average hourly rate for lawyers has increased to $1,611.62/hr. It looks like they're billing first-year associates at $975 and billing rates go up to $2,850. Three partners and one upper-level associate billed over $1m.

I would like to know if Florida will be performing with his more famous Italian/Sammarinese duet partner Senhit. #eurovision

@lopatto.bsky.social Are y'all back in court today for the remedies (non-jury) phase of the Musk v. Altman trial? They created a live event on YouTube but haven't started streaming.

There's a minor problem—your driver's license with a REAL ID "yellow star" is insufficient because it does not "indicate that [you] are a citizen of the United States." SAVE America Act § 2(a). It indicates that you had legal presence at the time of the ID's issuance. See REAL ID Act § 202(c)(2)(B).

AAG for Antitrust Gail Slater has abruptly resigned with no reason. Just a few days ago, DAAG Mark Hamer, who led litigation and civil enforcement, resigned abruptly with no reason. The latest nominee for the FTC has no apparent qualifications for the position whatsoever. What even is antitrust law?

A conversation I had with a U.S. lawyer who is learning another country's law: Them: "Under Dillon's rule for municipalities, the state can't mess with the elections." Me: "Under Dhillon's rule, though, you're required to mess with the elections."
