Memo to vendors cold-emailing law firms: if you use the old sleazy trick of titling your solicitation “Referral,” trying to trick the lawyer into opening your spam thinking it’s a referred client, I will never in a million years do business with you.

Some notes now that I’ve seen the transcript of the hearing, thanks to @lizdye.bsky.social . First: the government dismissed the felony count in an effort to convince the judge not to make them produce full transcripts, knowing they showed serious…

This is extremely lawless and corrupt by the Trump DOJ. So, par for the course. The presumption of regularity is a joke now, and federal prosecutors won’t recover the esteem they had from federal judges for a generation. (Which, actually, is fine.) …

I’m proud of the work I did as an AUSA, and I say this with complete sincerity: if you’re an AUSA, and a decent person, who cares about your oath, get out. Get out now without destroying your reputation. A DoJ run to Trumpist specifications is corrupt and…

“What’s that?” “It’s a racist murder machine. It murders people for racist reasons. It’s powered by children’s crushed dreams.” “My God. And you approve of that?” “Well, no, I don’t feel they got the implementation right.” [contains quote post or other…

My wife has been binging La Brea and it has been getting steadily more and more ridiculous and I have stopped resisting making fun of it and she’s okay with it and is now making fun of it too and now we’re just mocking the shit out of this together.

However appalled you are by this, it’s not enough. It’s a frank statement that Trump and Trumpists are above the law and need not even plausible excuses to loot your tax dollars. It’s a total failure of our civic institutions. [contains quote post or…

The teen gunmen were merely carrying out the views and policies of the Republican party, as expressed by its proud leaders like Andy Ogles, Randy Fine, Tommy Tuberville, and of course our President and Vice-President. …

Got the craziest email I’ve ever gotten today — and believe me I get some crazy ones — and when I Googled the guy’s name I saw a 13-year-old Reddit post from someone who got an email from him, with a comment from someone who knew him in the 90s. So, great…

I feel for the Quinn Emmanuel associates who are going to be tasked to hide in the jurors’ shrubbery watching for misconduct that could form a basis to attack the verdict [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I want to know the name of the judge who presided over this. I want that judge’s name and email address public. I want people to be able to ask that judge what the fuck was wrong with him or her. /1 [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I feel pity for the folks who believe in a weak, mewling, needy Christ who requires forceful state sponsorship by the likes of Donald Trump and JD Vance and Mike Johnson to achieve His goals. What a puny god. [contains quote post or other embedded…

I mean Johnson is just leaning into the “criticism is censorship” and “dissent is silencing” narrative that the Free Speech Culture folks push. If they carry his water you can’t blame him for drinking it. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

OUR CULTURE IS BEING DESSICATED BECAUSE THAT GIRL WHO GOT HATCHED FROM A SWAN EGG IS A BLACK BUT GREEKS ARE WHITE EVEN IF THEY ARE FROM SWAN EGGS THAT’S JUST SCIENCE AND THE BATMAN GUY HATES CULTURE AND WHITES AND SCIENCE

My former USAO colleague Nathan Hochman, now the DA of LA County, is leading hard into the narrative that protests against Israel’s policies are anti-Semitic and even anti-American. That’s disgraceful and a perversion — well, a further perversion - of the…

This is a bad framing because absolutely nobody thought the gambit would work. It’s like saying Marduk dealt a massive blow to Democrats by not answering their prayers. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

There are downsides to getting older, but good things too. One of the good things is seeing cool kids, kids you’ve known their whole life, word hard and succeed really big. In that vein, Jessie Mazin opened for the Indigo Girls last night and according…
