Orban concedes defeat. The support of Trump, Vance, Putin, Lavrov, Weidel, Milei, Le Pen, Fico, Babis and many others could not overcome Hungarian anger at a stagnant, corrupt regime

Nobody who says "sorry to burst your bubble" is sincere. Not once. Not ever.

To paraphrase @bendreyfuss, I'm just a dum dum but it seems to me Iran can outlast a blockade of the strait way longer than the US can. Nevertheless, to the extent Trump feels he needs to do something, better this than ending an entire civilization.

Hungarians are in a unique position:
with just one vote, they can vote against Orbán, Putin, and Trump all at once.

@ASFleischman Cue all the people who smugly quote US officials saying the opposite, as though anyone in the Trump administration has any credibility on this issue. Doesn't mean the Iran is telling the truth, obviously, but the appropriate default assumption is that Trump sycophants are lying.

One big part of winning a war is offering massive cash bribes to get the other side to negotiate

"A senior Iranian source said on Saturday the U.S. had agreed to release Iranian frozen assets held in Qatar and other foreign banks, welcoming the move as a sign of 'seriousness' in reaching a deal with Washington in talks in Islamabad. The source, who declined to be named due to the sensitivity of the matter, told Reuters that unfreezing the assets was 'directly linked to ensuring safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz,' which is expected to be a key issue in the talks." reuters.com/business/finan…

More than 1,023 checkpoints and iron gates across the West Bank suffocate Palestinian lives, while Israeli settlers move freely with no restrictions.
This is an open-air prison.

@ASFleischman @Vibutler_ "You could tell that other lawyers and judges really respected him." Could you though? What are you basing that on? Because the judge told you that when he denied your motion, your lawyer did a really fantastic job?
English
@ASFleischman @Vibutler_ Some day, I want to publish something that explains what Google reviews can inadvertently reveal. For example, "he got me the best possible deal." According to whom? The lawyer?

While I think that Rodriguez probably forecloses the 14th amendment argument, I think that that in an ideal world private defense attorneys wouldn’t exist. Quality of counsel shouldn’t depend on your wealth

@ASFleischman Toward the end of an argument last year on probable cause in a search warrant, I butchered an analogy to the evidentiary vaue of finding a dismemberment manual in Stephen King's library. I stumbled over my point. But everyone got it, and people who watched it liked the analogy.
English
Maybe I say a name wrong, or a judge asks a multipart question and I answer only one part of the question, or someone interrupts me in the middle of a good answer.
None of that shit matters.
My job is to know the cases and the record and direct them to it.
English
To be honest after an oral argument I always feel like I pretty much nailed it.
All you have to do is listen to the questions and try your best to give the judge the information they need.
They're smart people. You don't have to say it perfectly to say it well.

As Solicitor General, I made three arguments in every case: The one I planned….logical, coherent, complete. The one I actually presented….interrupted, disjointed, disappointing. The one I thought of after going to bed that night…..utterly devastating. Robert H. Jackson, U.S. Supreme Court Justice and Chief U.S. Prosecutor at Nuremberg, born February 13, 1892. If great legal mind of the 20th century went to bed replaying his arguments, you’re not failing. You’re just a lawyer.

In a scathing ruling, a federal judge lambasted the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) for neglecting the medical needs of incarcerated people, comparing federal lock-ups to the “Soviet Gulag.”

@quirkyllama Nobody is stopping the federal government from deporting Abrego Garcia. He has agreed to be deported to Costa Rica. And Costa Rica had previously agreed. Trump wants him deported to Liberia just to punish him.
English
I don't want to defend RFK or MAGA conspiracists, but I'm genuinely surprised Matt doesn't get that there is a real complaint here.
The core hypothesis of Trump II is "Trump doesn't control the govt" Call it the deep state, call it bureaucracy, or just call it the Judiciary.
The battle over Abrego Garcia- a man who no one disputes is here illegally- yet the entire might of the Trump administration can't deport him!
The whole thesis of Trump II is "Yes, the laws say X, but the bureaucracy + judiciary don't care what the laws says".
Or the recent Federal Court ruling effectively preventing Berkeley from cleaning up tent cities. Does the GOP have a Federal Trifecta? Yes. Does a Blue City in a Blue State want to clean up homelessness? Yes. Did a Federal judge prevent them from doing so? Also Yes.
If you want to understand what's going on in Trump 2 these points are central. Republicans do not effectively control gov't even when they have a trifecta. Between bureaucrats bureaucrats and the Liberal Judiciary, it's ~impossible to change policy even when the law is clearly on GOP side.
Matthew Yglesias@mattyglesias
A signature aspect of MAGA is they refuse to take responsibility for anything — Trump has been president for a majority of the past decade but “the government” is still some entity his administration isn’t really involved with somehow.

Signal to noise: as of this morning there is no change in the Strait of Hormuz—ships pass only with Iran’s consent—and Iran is shooting missiles at UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain. Whatever is being said, this is what’s happening.

@ASFleischman It’s not over, but who is currently winning that situation?
English
@ASFleischman J steals your car. You threaten to kill J’s family if he doesn’t give it back. He says, “you can borrow your car for two weeks while we negotiate my terms, first of which is my sleeping with your wife.” You don’t agree but say “that’s a great starting point for negotiations.”
English
Here's my understanding. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Iran set harsh terms. Israel has to leave Hezbolloh in place. Iran controls the strait, and can charge fees for its use. Both of these things violate international law.
Abe Greenwald@AbeGreenwald
If the U.S. were to walk away from this war at this very instant, it would still be the greatest American victory we've seen in decades. If we go further, there's no telling the extent of our triumph. I'm merely thankful for the obvious success that's been achieved thus far. Anything else is gravy.

he was 14 when he was falsely arrested and prosecuted. 14. years. old. his trial lasted a single day. he spent 17 innocent years behind bars and the rest on state supervision. impossible to heal. and no one will be held accountable.

John Bunn, wrongfully jailed at 14 in the 1991 murder of a correction officer, weeps as he’s exonerated

Consequently, his threats are getting increasingly hysterical, but he has no clue what else to do. So while I don't think he wants to commit genocide, I do think he could talk himself into it as his only option. 2/end
English
Trump loves threats but I don't think he actually relishes the genocide he is threatening. He has two tools he relies on: threats and quitting. He has put himself in a situation where the threats aren't working and quitting -- giving the strait to Iran -- isn't viable. 1/2
