Can confirm. But they didn't even admit that we're entitled, they merely "would not oppose" ... part of it.

Has anyone done the math on how much it's costing to deploy and reassign hundreds of National Guard and federal agents to DC? Got to be in the tens of millions already, right?
Has anyone figured out how much it cost to send 20 federal agents to raid the sandwich guy’s house? jw
Literally Meal Team 6.
I think Taylor releasing her new album on the Kelce bros' podcast is the "Man Walks on The Moon" moment for new media.
The Great Man [Parts] theory of history.
Thank god. We can finally incarcerate all of those dubiously parked hot dog trucks. (Though in fairness, it looks like these DEA agents already thoroughly inspected those vendors).
It's true. Crime is so out of control in Washington DC that a violent mob stormed the Capitol, tried to hang Mike Pence, and attempted to prevent the certification of the election.
👀
Man, it’s hard to be an American right now.
Ken White, First AND Second Amendment advocate.
Gonna do a video about Alex Padilla getting tackled. Expect 10 minutes of continuous screaming.
On one hand, anonymous federal agents did forcibly hogtie a Senator trying to ask questions, but on the other hand he was asking his questions kind of loudly. Who is to say who was wrong?
I haven't read the First Amendment, but I know it's a violation not to associate on Twitter.
Rigged!
A non-profit group ask me if I would be willing to tell the other lawyers in my firm to vote for Seltzer and against Bondi. I was like "ya, I made a video about it that got three quarters of a million views. They know."
Sorry not sorry, Brad Bondi.
Option 1: ...well why did you help elect him president, then? Option 2: ...well why did you make him the DOGE guy, then? Honestly, both great options! Both demonstrate terrible judgement and lack of moral clarity. Perfect.
Among my favorite parts of the Trump/Elon feud is that anything and everything negative that they say about the other person will also reflect poorly on them. Delicious.
Brad Bondi, just to spite me.
We've GOT to put that monkey's paw down when we ask for different motions panel.
For example: Above, Mike Masnick is being extremely censorious.
In terms of unintentional acts, literally the worst thing I can imagine.
Amazing and horrifying.
Does anyone have the docket entry before it was scrubbed?
No, money down!
I think they forgot a comma. It's supposed to be the "government cost, cutting team."
Benitez for pope 2025.
I'm just kidding. That's me ALL THE TIME NOW.
Me right now:
I don't know why I'm a vampire in this thumbnail.
Want to talk about something that isn't Trump? Do you love The Pitt? Have I got the video for you! nebula.tv/videos/legal...
The tariffs are "paused."
WHERE ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO FILE A HABEAS PETITION WHEN YOU'VE ALREADY BEEN RENDITIONED OUT OF THE COUNTRY?
Every American ought to be FURIOUS at this decision.

I hate that I'm more online than you are. I never wanted this burden.
What a great piss-take.
Trump has said many times that he thinks trade deficits are fiscal deficits. He sees an imbalance and thinks that country OWES US MONEY AND ISN'T PAYING. An under-reported part of his insane worldview.
Man, I really need to find my Tariffs Not Only Impose Immense Economic Costs but Also Fail to Achieve Their Primary Policy Aims and Foster Political Dysfunction Along the Way t-shirt.
I’m losing my mind on tariffs. We spent 90 years systematically dismantling protectionism (GATT, WTO, NAFTA) and a mad king exercising *extremely* dubious delegated authority just set us back a century by fiat.
In sum: an economically illiterate "conservative" institutes the biggest tax hike in history in an effort to revive the policies that led to the Great Depression. Cool.
1. Val Kilmer’s Doc Holliday . . . 99. Every portrayal by every actor ever in history until the end of time.
Come out to DC and hangout with me at the Starbucks on H street. I'll pay for the spitwads.
@legaleagle.tv unwisely asked me for thoughts.
Let's chat.
Bingo.
Ok I finally did the handle/custom domain thing. We're now @legaleagle.tv ! Wheeeeeee
This is maybe the most illegal, unconstitutional, and immoral thing the Trump Administration has done yet. I'm disgusted: nebula.tv/videos/legal...
We're all having fun dunking on Paul Weiss (deservedly so). But the lawyer in me wonders what their real obligations are. They were extorted by an illegal EO into making dubious promises with (probably) no mechanism for oversight or compliance. What if they just ... didn't do anything?
On a long enough timeline, everyone pivots to video.
Any time you see a democrat reverse course and go all in on Trump (Tom Goldstein, Adams, SBF) or see an unusually insane MAGA bill (Eichorn) you can bet it's pandering for a pardon. The problem is that the average MAGA-backed policy is becoming increasingly unhinged and soon indistinguishable.
Your honor, we made 100 terrible arguments with a 1% chance of success. Therefore, we have a 100% chance of likelihood of success in aggregate!
I also love that after the judge basically says "that's not how that works, you idiot" the attorney is like "well I think my math is right, let's get someone to check the math on that."
Do youtubers count?
This is – without exaggeration – possibly the dumbest legal argument i've ever heard.
Maybe the most insulting thing about the government's argument is that they are arguing they can't provide details because of national security but THEY MADE PROPAGANDA VIDEOS ABOUT EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.
What do we think? T-shirts with "Sorry, it's what my client instructed" on them?
@timothysnyder.bsky.social May I read this piece in a video? I agree with every point wholeheartedly.
"Your honor, I know you TOLD me to do something but you didn't write it down until several minutes later" is not an argument I would want to make to the judge. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The law doesn't apply if you can run really fast.
This is nuuuuuuuuts.
Big announcement today. youtu.be/oYrKc1vIIM8
The Ides of March is my favorite holiday. Which tyrant will *you* be regiciding today in celebration?
DO NOT COMPLY IN ADVANCE. I’d call my senator, BUT I DON’T HAVE ONE BECAUSE I LIVE IN DC.
Makes you think: for every hour Twitter is down, it loses hundreds of dollars of advertising.
I'd use any mediator who promised to actually read the parties' briefs ahead of time.
Not, like, in general. But about this, yes.
LegalEagle *could* use an international airport, Mr. Gates.
Kel, buddy, if you're going to cite a 3 HOUR LONG VIDEO, you need to drop a pin cite/time code for when the quote appears or at least use the "copy video URL at current time" feature. @nationalsecuritylaw.org
Whoa whoa whoa, Mike. We would never use that kind of language to describe what they are doing. We *think* it – often – but we would never say that.
Lol. Ok I think I figured it out. If your prompt is "give an 'objective analysis of whether he twists the facts, misrepresents the law, or presents a fair legal argument'" ChatGPT is probably going to find ways to say it's biased. Good to know!
Also, I think there is a fair amount of hallucinating as well. Genuinely no idea what funds Biden supposedly withheld from Ukraine in 2023 (not that it would be analogous to what's currently happening to USAID anyway).
File under: why real lawyers' jobs are safe for the foreseeable future.
This is honestly fascinating. A commenter with an anime PFP asked ChatGPT for an "objective analysis" of my video. I'll admit, if you credulously assume everything the Trump admin says is true (fact and law) and refuse to use common sense or your lived-in experience, it does like biased!
Oh come on.
.5 - Engaged in observational review and auditory analysis of percussive instrumentation of s. drums; discussion re same.
For my notes: this was in particular reference to the shameful bilateral between Zelenskyy and Trump/Vance in the Oval Office.
I think there's a good chance that Trump heard the US was a "liberal democracy" and set out to destroy it because he's confused that "liberal" has different meanings.
New video up. Find out what DOGE is! (so you can tell me because I have no idea). youtu.be/ihvSwJT0rLU
The DOGE Administrator is the friends we fired along the way.
Why couldn’t they torch the Constitution and the rule of law in service of something nice like the Metric system?
Crap, now I need to research if you can be AG or DAG if you've been disbarred.
Better to be fired than get disbarred for signing your name to a time bomb pleading of historic corruption.
Dang, I meant Bork. Geez.
ugh, fine. Good luck or whatever.
Please excuse all typos; I am very mad.
I pay better than the public sector...
I hear ya. I'm so furious, it's hard to focus. I don't *think* I can make a video where I just yell at the screen, but I'm willing to try.
AND ANOTHER THING, I'm pissed because I don't have the capacity to tackle every issue (because it's a freaking fire hose right now). Any lawyers in the DC area want to help (on or off screen)? Crim law experience preferred by not required.
I'm so angry at these degenerate wannabe tyrants who are taking a sledgehammer to the rule of law, brick by brick. Is what's happening getting through to the average American? Do they care?
Ken.
