@MartyBent Last week I watched a man walk over to a wheelchair, plop down, put his legs up and then proceed to quickly wheel himself directly into oncoming traffic. Sentiment is extremely high for Pratt, but let’s see how the legions of zombies vote. This is why I rarely venture out of OC

Need some LA boots on the ground perspective. Are we getting Mayor Pratt?

It took me a full year following my dad’s passing to finally listen to his old voicemails. I’m glad I did, it’s like being transported to the before time. It also demonstrates the future value of capturing and creating digital “memories in a bottle,” for those you care about.

@MorosKostas The biggest problem with the 5th Circuit is I don’t live within its jurisdiction, so my state laws endure regardless.

@prestonjbyrne It must feel great

When I saw Peter Kyle MP pontificating about how the Online Safety Act gave him the power to shut down any platform, I became very determined to prove him wrong. With any luck, my bit of work helped accelerate the American federal response. x.com/ChaseTheTruth/…

Explaining the significance for London: The official legislative response of the United States to foreign censorship laws like DSA/OSA has started. Today. My sense is that this is the beginning of the American legislative response and not the end of it.

@lulumeservey Ah, yes. List four impossibly vague items as a “single purpose.” Live. Love. Laugh, etc...

@prestonjbyrne Congrats! Way to tirelessly continue bulldozing…

@TheDavidPiv @ericfosterius Marxists captured a self-regulated profession that also happens to be the basis for an entire branch of government and you could argue, all three.

@ericfosterius It's probably similar but the ABA is also vested with the exclusive power to determine whether a nominee for a federal judgeship is "qualified" or not.

I don't think non-lawyers can truly grasp what it means for the DOJ to be doing this.

@MrJoshuaYoder @MorosKostas Yeah, but none pertaining to California’s egregious gun laws. Love the nationwide injunctions re federal law and administrative policies. It was a joke about swapping them with the 9th circuit…

@ChaseTheTruth @MorosKostas There have been many nationwide permanent injunctions out of the 5th.

Here is a quick thread from me on the VERY interesting en banc denial opinions in a Fifth Circuit machine gun case today. Tl;Dr - the Fifth Circuit majority is telegraphing it will strike down the federal machine gun ban. It only didn't grant en banc in this case because a few judges who agree the ban is unconstitutional felt this case was not the right vehicle to decide the issue. Good. If the Supreme Court is going to continue to be too chickenshit to grant cert in a hardware case, then the Fifth Circuit should ram a machine gun case down their throats. We'll have our hardware ruling one way or another.

@antoniogm Unsolicited advice, but local counsel is less relevant for structuring, depending on client needs. For example, if utilizing a South Dakota trust as the basis for an asset umbrella, just go with the best counsel you can find, regardless of locality.

Anyone know a good SF-based will and estate lawyer?

@antoniogm @MINHxDYNASTY This is the perfect answer. Adjustable at any time, but correct…

@paulg @nfergus @Caltech Wokeness is an oppressor/oppressed/marxist-fueled ideology, which is inherently violent…

@nfergus @Caltech That's intellectually dishonest. Wokeness in itself doesn't turn people into assassins any more than right-wing extremism does. They also have to be crazy.

For those wondering how on earth a @Caltech graduate becomes a would-be assassin, this is your reminder that the Great Awokening was especially demented in California, and that there is no pendulum magically swinging back to sanity in the established universities.

NYT frames this as if USAID employees had a quasi-property right to high-paying, taxpayer-funded jobs. In reality, this tells a darker story—we spent half-a-century debt-financing a managerial class of Leftists whose only qualifications were ideological.

The Constitution & 2nd Amendment protect the lawful ownership of semi-automatic rifles such as the AR-15. @TheJusticeDept will aggressively defend this right, & the @CivilRights Division will sue if states refuse to comply.

@hopes_revenge The stuff we give the cat before seeing the vet?

@pmarca There’s no end to existential crisis-seeking, as it’s always* the foundation justification of Marxists to circumvent the rule of law and seize power through hysterical means. It’s simply a fill in the blank form: Insert [threat] [existential crisis] -> seize control of [blank]

We live in an era of admiration of hysteria, neuroticism, and narcissism. Endless waves of panic, perpetual emotional incontinence. You know the answer…
