That is amazing. Thank you for sharing!
We are fortunate to have Jeff Jackson as our AG in North Carolina. www.linkedin.com/posts/jeff-j...
The sabbatical idea would be great! I've been preaching that too for years as well as a way to mitigate the damage Langdell did to legal education and as a way for us to keep current. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
You are absolutely right about that. We have C. C. Langdell to thank for that. I will go to the grave never understanding how his views became the norm.
What was this? It wasn't journalism.
He's too ignorant to know it's an Oscar Wilde move. If WSJ can they should counterclaim so he can't dismiss. We'll hopefully soon know about the birthday book since House has subpoenaed it.
Knew he'd be fine :)
Who will be held accountable or do Floridians even care?
Not just this. They enabled Bush and Iraq as well. They turned out their lights years ago.

HUGE FLIP: Democrat Catelin Drey wins deep-red state Senate seat in Iowa, breaking the GOP's supermajority. Drey won by 11 points in a district Donald Trump carried by 11 points last year. It's another massive overperformance. The Iowa GOP should be very worried for the midterms. Our full writeup:
Lost me for the same reason in the 90s & don't see any reason to go back. Hard to forget what they did back then.
Brilliant
His only wish. He literally said that?

How did Democrats not get this message out? It wasn't hard. "they’re going to just get their next bill & see a 200, 300% increase, & be like, ‘what is happening here?’” #News www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
Education goes forward. Some of the many current and former teachers at our wonderful Saint Francis Episcopal in Greensboro joining the students today in the blessing of their backpacks as their new school years start.
If the media bothered to ask Vance or Mike Johnson if Trump is lying about this, what do you think those two would say?
Karma 😄
Sleep isn’t rest. It’s nightly improv theater starring people I haven’t seen since middle school.
Democrats don't bother to learn such basic principles of rhetoric. I've given up they ever will.
Maybe some first rate journalists could be interviewing him live ASAP. I know it's Friday but that is their job.
Justice Jackson is basically reporting live from inside a garbage fire www.ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/nih-c...
Keep repainting it back.
Please share this gift article. So much to study here. How can voters like her remain "proud" Republicans? How can Republicans keep hiding cuts to Medicaid? How can we fix all this? www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/o...
How long will it take to repair that mess?
Yes and in the words of enslavers themselves. It's so horrifying I've never been able to make it to the end of the book.
Who paid for it and what did it cost?

The meeting needs to take place and off camera. If Putin has Intel on Trump the allies surely have it too & time to make that clear. If it's not that then figure it out and address it now. Enough already.
They need to stay until there's a sufficient response to Putin and get it in writing and moving before Trump can flip again.
He wouldn't give back the change.
Et tu Brute?
I hope it surprises us and turns up. I would really like to see and hear it too.
If you don't know it, his Treemonisha is a fantastic opera and recordings are easy to find.
There's always hope it will be found. History often surprises.
He is more Cromwell than Charles I. Of course both brought disaster.
27 years ago, two years after the introduction of effective HIV treatment, the Bay Area Reporter, San Francisco’s lesbian and gay community newspaper, ran ‘No Obits’ as its headline. It was the first edition not to report an AIDS death in almost 15 years.
Two new studies in @antiquity.ac.uk show that people with mixed ancestry lived in early medieval south England. 🏺🧪
This is worse than the US. The flu shot is here now and COVID is supposed to be available to those 65 and older & those who say they have a pre-existing condition and this can't be questioned. Not clear if insurance covers but likely this year. What's going on in Alberta?
"Republicans love their boogeymen; the grotesquely exaggerated villains they use to justify their worst policy ideas." And it works. thehill.com/opinion/heal...
I get a batch in the spring and in August. Never knew their names!
That would be a small watch. Maybe a locket with Trump's icon inside?
Absolutely agree this should not be overhyped though the media will. Instead of turning this into a self-fulling prophecy, everyone should focus instead on the 100% real horrible stuff that is getting ignored right now.
It is my bounden duty to post this as the Rector of an Episcopal parish across the street from Rice University in Houston, Texas. Go Owls! 🦉💙🩶
Don't see Charles I here. Trump skipped straight to the filthy Cromwell role (well even worse) after convincing MAGAS we had abuses we never had.
He has no shame. It's also not smart as more and more voters learn the painful truth in the marketplace.
I think we're headed that way as well. It will take some time because we've never had to do it and most don't yet know what it means.
It's also never occurred to him how he's also taking this away from himself. It's amazing how MAGAS think they are immortal and are just impacting others when they torch science and safety nets their hubris can't imagine ever needing.
We need people to believe in science and truth. Good science wants that too. I'm not sure that's a good message even as a joke.
I think Mike Johnson, Medicaid, nursing homes,and his "Christianity" plus Sen. Murk. should be next.
The people need reminding of their deep powers of public shaming and ridicule. South Park is helping with the latter. May be all we have left.

Did it to us in Greensboro too. Wish Democrats had broken quorum then.
They are a scam. Someone could make a fortune bringing back analogue appliances that would again last for years. I'd try it myself if I were younger and prove my point.
Works with adult tantrums too #EmotionalIntelligence
Or better still by a Supreme Court that finds political gerrymandering unconstitutional.
The hypocrisy is astounding. James Stalarico (Rep. Texas) calls them out.
Tillis has no character. He voted against the Medicaid cuts solely because he wants to be able to continue to show his face in public back home here in NC after the cuts hit. He knows there will be hell to pay.
Guess he used the bone spurs excuse to avoid that too
So Tillis who isn't running for reelection effectively gave him the seat. Wow.
Republican 5 page talking points for August Canned lines like: "this legislation will help every voter" & "every part of this bill is a big, beautiful win for working families" Hope Democrats counter with understandable truth #News www.politico.com/f/?id=00000198-5337-d32b-a79f-d337fc500000
In addition to the evil this is a stupid political move in a purple state that is running popular Roy Cooper for Senate and has expanded Medicaid and will also be suffering those hits.
When officials no longer enforce the rules, we have public ridicule. That's what it's for. Unless we give up, it keeps hope alive, exposes truth, & holds loud account despite culprits, cowards, sycophants, & shadow dockets. @lpcprof.bsky.social @espinsegall.bsky.social thehill.com/opinion/camp...

Please keep making this point over and over again. They must be heard.
So congress going home for vacation early! Because of Epstein. Demand a town hall now, they have free time!
Applaud and pump those fists. What an awful legacy. www.politico.com/news/2025/07...
This back story on Mike Johnson is essential reading. One of the best articles about his deanship of defunct Pressler Law School that I've found. Pressler himself has since met his maker. Won't speculate on how that went. www.courthousenews.com/house-speake...
It may be too late but better late than never. I fear though they'll lack the spine and coordination as usual.
It's frightening and pathological how easily and shamelessly he lies.
Democrats have to push back. We're ground zero in NC where Republicans have had us in a vice since 2010. Because we're purple they try things out first here like recently trying to steal a state supreme court seat. They're ruthless as we've long seen here first hand.
Thank you! I'll read it!
They should counterclaim so he can't dismiss before they start discovery. Of course he has never heard of Oscar Wilde so history repeats itself.
I remember when this came out!
Does this rise to the level of a drawlng? Maybe he truly never wrote one.
Looks like Oscar Wllde
Where are the gold crosses these days? Unavailable to wear like Nosferatu now?
Professor Fallon “destroyed the terrible myth that plagues so much of modern constitutional law: that judges can persuasively decide real cases by relying on the original public meaning of constitutional text. They simply cannot.” www.dorfonlaw.org/2025/07/ther...
You're right. We are trying our best to get out of Republican gerrymander hell here in NC because everyone was asleep at the wheel. Once it becomes national they're in forever.
"Lieu: Hawley move shows ‘lie’ about GOP Medicaid cuts" A Democrat finally makes this simple point. Why aren't they doing this everywhere including ads all over Fox? thehill.com/policy/healt...

Hawley's carefully worded statement nonetheless admits "BBB" did cut necessary state Medicaid funding. There's a lot of smoke & misdirection but hopefully Democrats will explain his cut admission & use it over & over again. www.hawley.senate.gov/hawley-intro...
They gerrymandered us in purple NC before the last election and it was critical to Republicans "winning" the house. Any blue states planning to redraw in response?
Isn't the Court's reasonless majority here now more lawless and arrogant than Trump? Trump for the present at least displays an obligation to give reasons for his DOE & other major decisions (however valid or truthful such reasons may be). @espinsegall.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/07/14/u...
