Trump says moving Space Command to Alabama is about saving money. But wait a damn minute, the Pentagon already warned this would hurt readiness and weaken security. Trump is playing politics, and he’s doing it in DC too, using soldiers like props. America deserves better! #waitadamnminute
"Bowser issued an executive order that requires local coordination with federal law enforcement “to the maximum extent allowable by law within the District.” The order gives no expiration date." I, for one, would like a new mayor (and statehood) www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
BREAKING: On a 2-1 vote, D.C. Circuit denies the Trump administration's request to let Trump fire a Federal Trade commissioner during appeals. Citing Humphrey's Executor, about the FTC: "To grant a stay would be to defy the Supreme Court's decisions that bind our judgments. That we will not do."
It’s time for Illinois to let out-of-state troops know they are not protected from prosecution under state law.
Been thinking a lot about Fort Sheridan, north of Chicago. It was built on land donated by Chicago's wealthy elite to have a nearby army base so troops would be around to break strikes and respond to labor unrest. Sheridan Road existed in large part to transport troops to Chicago's south side.
Maybe @govpritzker.illinois.gov and Illinois prosecutors should inform any out-of-state national guard members that they will receive no shield under state law.
If Chicago is a hellhole, why would I pay this much money to rent a hotel room on such short notice?
Dear @cnn.com and @erinburnett.bsky.social — Stop playing “both sides” — Shermichael Singleton makes us want to turn off CNN and listen to authoritarian extremists. It would be the same as playing audio of the mayor of Warsaw welcoming Germany into their city in 1939.
The sale of these prominent hotels requires court approval following the previous owner’s decision to give up the properties and stop paying the mortgage.

Good luck!
Good luck to Eric!
His ego won’t let him drop out of the Mayor’s race.

I miss the days when members of the cabinet had courage.
$20 says Stephen Miller — not Melania — is the one with POA to pull the plug.
Steven Colbert and his wife appeared in the crowd at the Alcaraz match, and the arena went wild when his face hit the screen. People clearly adore him—and honestly, seeing that joy gave me a surge of hope.
You need more lawsuits in Ohio. Our legislature and Secretary of State have earned them.
About time.
On this date in 1960 in Ted Williams final season he Homers off Senators Pitcher Don Lee, in a Red Sox 5-1 victory at Fenway Park. In 1939 as a Rookie, he also went deep off Lee’s dad Thornton. That season at the age of 41, in 113 Games, Williams hit .316, with 29 HR’s and a 1.096 OPS.

Thank you on this labor day!!
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com In America’s vaunted system of checks and balances, “We, the people, have always been the real check, the most important balance,” Frank Bruni writes. “But we must recognize what’s happening, sit with the alarm of it and rouse ourselves to push back.”
Where does this hatred and ignorance come from?

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
I just saw an article that said a CEO that stole a hat from a kid at a tennis event was the most hated man in America. I feel like that's forgeting someone.
Ummmmmmm ……
6:45 EDT or what? Did this just happen a few minutes ago?

BREAKING: Deaths from a 6.0 magnitude earthquake in eastern Afghanistan rise to at least 610, and more than 1,300 people injured, a spokesman for the Taliban says.
"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on." "When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?" "All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."

NEW: Credit reporting giant TransUnion has confirmed a data breach involving more than 4.4 million customers' personal information. TransUnion claims "no credit information was accessed" in the late-July breach, which it said involves its U.S. consumer support operations.
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

It's high time for us to consider that we Americans owe our Constitution and democratic heritage far more than our fortunes and sacred honor.
I kinda feel like signing his posts with "President DJT," something he has never done in the past, is a bit on-the-nose that it's some sort of assistant typing these out.
Not where I practice.
He has no legal authority to do so. He thinks he’s a king when he’s really a joker.
Opinion: If the U.S. president chooses to continue giving Russia the benefit of the doubt, Canada will need to find some distance. www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...
Oh
Looks awesome
Very cool
The snowflakes in the Governor’s Office can’t stand for any non-state-approved speech.
Congratulations to her!
19 years is still less than the 24 years between Donald and Melania.
Aren’t there 24 years difference between Donald and Melania?
The actions of ICE and other federal agencies under Trump are a sad reminder that the early 2020s were a huge missed opportunity to improve policing. No narrowing of QI. No extending §1983 to federal officers. Scarce improvements in federal search-and-seizure jurisprudence. Now look.
To show no hard feelings after the Ohio State-Texas game, we came and fed some longhorns.
But what a great game!!!! I get the feeling they’ll be seeing each other in the playoffs!

I hate to ever disagree with you, but you’re wrong ….
Nope.
Great job! Keep it up!
You know who can nominate ppl for the Nobel Peace Prize? Me. A random, terminally on-line law prof. All law profs can make nominations. Being nominated is no big deal, since the committee doesn’t even do the noms—these ppl have no idea how this process even works.

Well know it’s true when Melania is blaring “Goodbye Earl” from The Chicks.
My concern is that the public doesn’t understand the concept of “pro bono” work. I regularly have people calling me to take their case(s) “pro bono” — when all it really is that they want me to do it for free. I always tell them I only do pro bono for certain 501(C)(3) organizations.
Trump’s next “Secretary of Sports.”
Townsend has "no class' and "no education," 5) when her racism is pointed out, doubles down on social media with "I am not a racist" post, 6) ducks the press based on supposed "medical" issues. Impressive! 🙄
Jelena Ostapenko is on the white woman speed run. 1) loses to a black opponent, Taylor Townsend, 2) demands an apology over a "net cord" earlier in the match based on "etiquette" she feels entitled to, 3) despite call to etiquette, raises her voice and points her finger in Townsend's face, 4) says
“Hold the Mao” 💀
