genuine question - if this is permitted, can texas now send its troops to illinois to arrest, say, legislators who refuse to form a quorum? what about women seeking abortions?
I’m not a big Newsom fan but his post about the location of Space Force is funny. “"EVERYONE KNOWS SAN FRANCISCO IS THE FUTURE HOME OF "STAR FLEET ACADEMY" ("LIVE LONG AND PROSPER")."
i attended a naturalization ceremony with a friend once. it was kind of incredible. also i think i bodily hauled her to the voter registration table afterwards
Here's a key clarification: the new policy applies to so-called administrative naturalization ceremonies, in which CIS officials are present. Another phrasing indicates that nonpartisan groups will be barred from "CIS facilities." Looks as if ceremonies held elsewhere are still open to LWV & co. /5
This is one of the most unamerican things I’ve heard of
Nongovernmental groups like the League of Women Voters are now barred from registering new voters at naturalization ceremonies, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has announced. n.pr/4g7YKqg
I apologize for not approaching the situation with sufficient gravity.
It's a very thin sweater so I might make inquiries but I don't think that'll save it.
found a hole in a sweater i like. in earlier times, that would have been the end. in the internet age, it is destined for a new life as a zoom appearance sweater
To be fair part of that is knowing judge young (his writing not personally) he is entirely out of fucks
to put it another way, he did in his own way what the dc circuit just did. "Show. Me. The. Reasoning."
yes and i'm sure there were actual tears
i believe he said it with sincerity. it wasn't an apology. it was a middle finger. i don't blame you for the straightforward reporting, but this was a legal middle finger.
well texas has decided it controls corporate law for the nation so i suppose this is the natural next step
"Young said he never meant to run afoul of Supreme Court precedent, ... he 'simply did not understand that orders on the emergency docket were precedent,...[T]his court will absolutely obey and generously adhere to the precedential decisions of the Supreme Court,'" that's ... not an apology
shorter dc cir: "opinion or it doesn't count"
i keep saying imagine what happens in DC if the Democrat wins in 2028
gotta address that to the OP
this situation sucks for the jews, and the adl has functionally abandoned the actual interests of actual american jews

“if people get the sense that . . . change is an every-year thing and there’s not as much stability and I can’t underwrite [an investment], they go into sportier geographies”. i'm loving the phrase "sportier geographies." i don't know what it means, exactly, but it's a great phrase.
Some were “asking for euro accounts as opposed to [using] the US dollar, for the obvious tariff/trade war type of tail-risk considerations”, and even asking for depository accounts with non-US banks in case “it all goes crazy”.
hah see other comment. No predictions here except if you twist my arm I can't see the second vote being the basis of a reversal.
Oh I refuse to make any predictions - no idea what they'll do (except I can't see the second vote being the basis of a reversal). But I think SB 21 gave them the perfect out: they can affirm and have it not apply to future cases.
pretty sure he's not going to do anything to upset tech (airbnb) or private equity
but they've never asked for some lower number - they've always said nothing, or nominal damages. Do you think the Del SCt will still come up with a different number?
The Tesla Master Plan IV is also not on its Investor Relations page currently. ir.tesla.com (Maybe the co. doesn’t think changing its mission again is a matter that’s material to its business….🤷🏻♀️?)

I love that one too. Warred also over Man on the Moon
Without saying Losing My Religion, fav R.E.M. Song?
Tatiana Maslany’s performance is staggering. I keep having to remind myself that these eight (?) different characters are being performed by the same actor. And often one character ends having to pretend to be another character and it still tracks. You’re never confused.

the fatal flaw with the Bluesky is dying proposition is that it ignores the broader truth that I am also dying, as are you, and everybody you know. By dying Bluesky lets us know that it’s one of us, that it shares in our beauty and our pain. Grow or die? No, there is no “or.” Bluesky understands
oh for sure. $100/wk felt like a king's ransom in high school. off the books, of course, so neither of us paid taxes
Operating the lighting board for a small theater in Manhattan. $100/week for 3 weeks. Used it to buy a leather motorcycle jacket that I still wear today. (A couple of yrs ago, someone asked me where I got it - had to tell them it was St. Mark's Place, 1990)

The show never suggests they're victims or anything - they made their choices - but we really do see a wide range of responses. Garak and Gul Dukat, for example, respond very differently. Anyway, for some reason, that seems relevant right now.
So one of the things that makes DS9 so good is its very serious exploration of the psychological toll that oppression takes on the oppressors. The Cardassians are vaguely Nazi analogs, and now, post-war, we see how they are psychologically affected by their awareness of their own monstrousness.
Happy Labor Day 🙂

I hope you understand that if you show up at a hospital with an infection no one has ever seen before that the US had somewhere you could call. That place would answer, offer testing you can’t get anywhere else and come visit you to solve if necessary.

VA is a disaster right now. I generally don't trust the private sector with my healthcare, yet had wrist surgery three weeks ago at Baylor Scott & White in Dallas because VA couldn't handle it. First time I've had a major procedure or serious condition treated outside the military or VA since 1996.

elon musk violated the equivalent of a securities law speeding ticket, but it's a straightforward statute and most defendants settle for like 6 figures. instead of doing that, he's arguing that the sec and the federal securities laws are unconstitutional
