@Acyn Tattoos are the epitome of superficial individual expression. Time for a new profession, Pete?

Hegseth: No more beards, long hair, superficial individual expression. We don’t have a military full of Nordic pagans.

Well stated. Henceforth to be known as the "Florio Test"... the determination of a "reasonable balance of stupid and fast" is the time-tested principle upon which the foundation of startup law is laid.

This is NOT a "buy-out" offer, contrary to headlines. It's an invitation to get seriously screwed--only question is how badly.

@JStein_WaPo @ELaserDavies I read this is as an offer to stay on but be permitted to work from home through Sept. 30. Not a buyout/severance.

BREAKING via @ELaserDavies: The White House has emailed civilian government employees offering them a way to quit w/ pay through Sept 30. Must accept offer by Feb. 6 to be eligible. Huge huge changes to federal government consistent w/ Musk goals

@umichvoter Good win today!

Beat USC Beat Michigan State Beat Ohio State in Columbus Beat Alabama Pretty good 👍

@jaredpolis RFK Jr thanks Governor Polish for his support

@chrisgeidner Bizarre. That statement had been prepared in advance --it came out 10 minutes after the announcement. So someone courted him for this endorsement, and he saw enough benefit in providing it despite having to know the extreme blowback. Seems like there's more to the story...

Unreal to see all Polis is pushing aside to go w/ this. It would seem to be that he actually believes RFK Jr.'s batshit stuff and doesn't care about the other questions raised about RFK Jr.'s behavior, b/c, if he just wants "a major shake-up" at FDA, someone else could run HHS.

@jaredpolis @RobertKennedyJr @HHSGov really?

I’m excited by the news that the President-Elect will appoint @RobertKennedyJr to @HHSGov. He helped us defeat vaccine mandates in Colorado in 2019 and will help make America healthy again by shaking up HHS and FDA. I hope he leans into personal choice on vaccines rather than bans (which I think are terrible, just like mandates) but what I’m most optimistic about is taking on big pharma and the corporate ag oligopoly to improve our health. Before you mock him or disagree, I want to share with you some quotes that if he follows through show why I’m excited: “Level the playing field for Americans internationally on drug costs…cap drug prices so that companies can’t charge Americans substantially more than Europeans pay." YES! Colorado currently has an application just SITTING at FDA for us to import low-cost prescription drugs from Canada and we just need their approval. "In some categories, there are entire departments, like the nutrition department at the FDA that are – that have to go, that are not doing their job, they're not protecting our kids," YES! The entire nutrition regime is dominated by big corporate ag rather than human health and they do more harm than good “We’ve got to get off of pesticide-intensive agriculture.” YES! We have tried unsuccessfully to better protect people and pollinators from harmful pesticides here in Colorado and we need all the help we can get to take on big chemical companies and improve human health and the environment! For our pollinators and our people! 🦋 He will face strong special interest opposition on these, but I look forward to partnering with him to truly make America healthy again and I hope that we can finally make progress on these important issues.

@LKrauss1 free speech and due process at unis? like in DeSantis's Florida?

Going to bed, reasonably resigned to Trump win at this point as it seemed to me from a distance for some time. He may be a nut, a liar, and a crook, but the bright side is a likely boost free speech and due process at unis and bump in tech sector, if we survive the rest.

@larryjones Big if true. But he never said this—fake quote.

🚨BREAKING: Jamie Raskin said, “Let folks cast their votes for Trump if that’s their choice. But mark my words, we won’t be certifying the election. He might win, but we’ll ensure he doesn’t step foot in the Oval Office.”

@rlj_law Yup. My biggest time saver to date: I uploaded 12 mo pdf bank statements and asked it for a categorized p&l. Worked like a charm. Saved at least an hour of work.

The jump in laziness that ChatGPT enables must be similar to what folks experienced when electronic calculators were introduced

@HMITCHR40 @BianchiWeather @spacewxwatch @Vincent_Ledvina Not as visible as in your shot but I caught it too down in Boulder. Went out and looked after seeing your post so thanks!

@BianchiWeather @spacewxwatch @Vincent_Ledvina Aurora popping off from the mountains near Gold Hill/Boulder CO! Insane pillars visible to naked eye!!!!

@jbarro Thus also not "illegal" under his first prong. Looks to me like he drafted this after consulting "legal status of cocaine" in Wikipedia

This is an oddly lawyerly response. Wouldn't cocaine not be "illicit" under this definition since it's Schedule II?

As

@chrislhayes Also crazy that the 33rd vote R's need to defeat filibuster is a former D that turned turned R in April after D's censored him for vote on abortion restriction nebraskaexaminer.com/2024/04/03/sta…

This is so nuts. And they’re doing it right in front of us.

@OrinKerr What were the ceramic plates for?

My view: It’s clearly past the line into attempted murder under the substantial step test that federal courts use. He set up a sniper’s nest and was lying in wait for hours for Trump to appear. That’s an attempt, not just preparation.

Crim Law professors, here is your very relevant classroom hypo for the preparation/attempt line when you cover attempt liability in a few weeks.

Springfield residents supporting one of the local Haitian restaurants after Donald Trump and JD Vance spread racist rumours about their community! ❤️

@JDVance Stop terrorizing your constituents with racist lies.

Kamala Harris and her media apparatchiks should be ashamed of themselves. Another "debunked" story that turned out to have merit.

@harrylitman Leave some low hanging fruit for the court to appease it and hopefully the rest survives.

It’s likely that the DOJ concluded the Supreme Court is going to have another swipe at the case anyway, so it was somewhat bold in including certain factual allegations, eg Pence
