If you come across somebody taking cheer in a favorable swing state polling result, I am 100% certain that person does not be told to vote.

Iowa fans commonly abbreviate the team name to "Hawks," by the way. I'm guessing whatever text messages Schmitt has (no doubt from the prosecution's government phones) used that abbreviation in referring to the game Smith attended. Best scandal in Hawkeyes history.

Trump Wouldn’t Promise Cash If He’d Rigged the Midterms

He doesn’t have a plan.

Somebody should ask Mike Rogers if that ad was the first time he's ever been to a Publix. Yes or no, the answer is a win.

Join trump as a responsible third party and cross claim against him for damages. Have DC, blue states, and victims and families intervene and sue the plaintiff and trump. Similarly, find members of Congress to intervene. In short, tie it up and fuck them up.

Brilliant bit of Fair Use, but I bet a takedown notice will still be arriving within hours. Either that, or the campaign coughed up enough money to HBO/David Ellison to actually license it, which I would guess to be prohibitive.

There are no 56 year old tradwife influencers. Which kind of gives the game away, because if there was any wisdom to impart from squirting out a shitton of white babies and fussing up Spaghetti-O's on Instagram, you'd think the tradwife grandmas would be on it.

Has anybody pointed out that "the U.S. Government" isn't an actual entity capable of paying for these ads? "The U.S. Government" doesn't have a bank account!

How dare you support a Dem candidate who is 100% in alignment with the clinical standard of care and the least-transphobic standard of kids' sports fairness?

My autoblock on Never Dem lefties now includes anyone whining about James Talarico supposedly being anti-trans. He's not.

I was raised Methodist, and I am still sympathetic to its version of Christianity. But "LARGEST METHODIST CHURCH IN THE COUNTRY" is absolutely antithema to me.

Powerful and wealthy assholes have been osessed for millenia with living beyond their natural lifetimes. Hi, Elon, Valya.and Peter. You're all gonna die, just like the rest of us, and your money piles will go into the ether instead of propping up your fake immortality. Ozymandias, bitches.

For 75 years, the Russian people were taught that capitalism was theft. Then they woke up one morning and they were all capitalists. This is a great thread.

This might be the most effective Dem election ad in history.

He actually thinks they're ugly *and* stupid enough to send him to Congress.

Per the 25th Amendment, Congress can pass a law providing for an independent body to assess the president's ability to discharge the powers and duties of his office. We've had several presidents for which that would have been useful. And it would provide a public window into each occupant's health.

This is a very frustrating read because it doesn' start by giving you any kind of thesis, but the evidence just keeps piling up and piling up that yes, there's literally a sex cult behind all this.

Prospective Client: Hey these assholes are firing me and they owe me a lot of money for my stock. Me: Okay, I can look at the docs and tell you what you're owed. Me: You're owed what they say they owe you, except what are all these unauthorized deductions? Client: Hey that lawsuit is bogus.

Natalie Harp's deposition in the White House media ban case should be fun, as will the subpoena for her "human printer" materials.

The DOJ lawyer arguing the TRO hearing against the banned media reporters is a Hitler fanboi.

Swearing under penalty of perjury that you're a citizen is, in fact and in law, proof of citizenship.

The Trump Kennedy Center. Ford's Theater Presented by Trump. The Trump Schoolbook Depository. Let's put him on all the things associated with murdered presidents. It can't hurt.

The reason that every accusation is actually a confession is that Republicans lack the ability to consider the perspectives of anyone other than themselves.

This is a smart piece on how Congress -- either chamber, or both -- can fuck up trump's shit in court. And if SCOTUS rides in to save him, all the more reason for fucking up SCOTUS in 2029.

The Epstein files should obviously be released in full, but there's not going to be anything remotely resembling a game-changer in there. Epstein kept his underage victims almost exclusively (possibly entirely) for himself. And Ghislaine, of course. Anyway, lefty QAnon is also bad and dumb.

I am personally wasting lots of my time and client money trying to confirm or refute the authenticity of legal filings. And I have zero reason to believe that anyone on the other side of one of my cases is doing it back.

I feel like United Healthcare completely missed the point that the Beach Boys' "Wouldn't It Be Nice" is a song about underage children yearning to fuck.

txlawyer @txlawyer.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Is it newsworthy to report, without consent, that a public figure was possibly an underage sex crime victim? I am skeptical of that proposition, and doubly skeptical of releasing that person's name decades after it obviously would have been withheld back in the day.

Yeah, I've got slaveholders in my line. Big apologies for the 18th-19th Centuries, 20th too. But there are no takebacks. Anyway, that's just the last five generations or so of my own family. It's a fucking miracle any of us are here. Let's try not to murder ourselves, okay? (fin)

True story: I once spent all fucking night writing a brief *for Ted Fucking Cruz* before he decided a few hours later that the case was too small for him to sign his name to it. He got paid about $250k for being the stunt lawyer who chickened out of doing any stunts.

Like all the other proposed schemes to subvert a Dem win, I do not believe this would succeed either. That said, I don't see obvious failure points, which means this shit needs to be called out, loudly, in advance.

If anyone told me in 1994 that, after having been afflicted with Ace of Base's terrible hit "I Saw the Sign" 1000s of times over the course of a single year, that it would go on to afflict me three decades later with TV ads for anti-fart supplements, I'd have said that sounds right.
