So our late night flight to Omaha that we rebooked onto after our delays in Baltimore has also been delayed a couple of times. Currently estimated for 10:45 departure.

We got to Baltimore about 10:30/9:30 eastern. Will be landing in Omaha sometime after midnigh.
Things I have done on the run-up for this trip include:
-putting money in wrong account
-booking ride for PM instead of AM
-leaving debit card on my desk in Maryland
I have been sleeping poorly and irregularly since my mother died and it is showing in my ability to focus.

(Please do not reply to this tweet.)
When I get home from this trip I might just make re-establishing a routine my main job for a few days. Get up, shower, breakfast, pills. Have a day. Go to bed. Repea.
I haven't had this much brain fog since my mid 20s.
Celebrating a major milestone: it is now 12 hours since I took a naproxen at BWI this morning.
Sorry to be so bleh on here today. It's been a time.

I could be wrong, but it feels like Acosta had one of the shortest turnarounds from the point where it seems like there's a critical mass to the moment when he actually resigns.

Suggests real fear of where the Epstein story leads.
It should be understood that at this level, there's almost no distinction between "resigned" and "was fired". Technically if someone really does retire to spend more time with their family, they still resign the post, but it gets reported differently.
When someone at the "serve at the leisure of the president" level hands in their resignation in response to a scandal, it will almost always be with the boss's approval, and more often than not, at the boss's direction.

Good: Consequences exist. This is the Land of Some Things Still Matter.

But watch for Trump's next move. If he stays true to form, he will milk the "acting secretary" interim for as much as possible, as long as possible.
This is not to say that it's a mistake to have pushed for this, or that doing so "plays into Trump's hands". He's a pretty undiscerning opportunist. He doesn't want to have his allies picked off for their misdeeds (bad precedent for him!) but he'll use it when it happens.
Yes! And the longer this goes on, the worse and worse the people who are still willing to become a part of it at the highest levels must be. No one is joining the cabinet with any illusion of "I can restrain him for the good of America." anymore.

I am, at last, on a plane.
Update: We have been informed that this plane is fully outfitted with everything needed to get us to Omaha, except pilots.
Oh, pilots have been located.

late night thread about why doe/tomcat as terms for bi wlw are problematic & why that list of "terms for bi ppl" is a mess and makes no sense
before i begin, i wanna note:
if you use doe/tomcat, that's perfectly fine & valid but there are a lot of reasons why these terms are problematic

okay. let's begin
about doe & tomcat-
1) doe & tomcat reinforce both negative stereotypes about the nature & roles of femme/butch people and also reinforces negative stereotypes about femme&butch relationships.

primarily, it's that the terms are literally /prey/ and /predator/.

Jimin’s pretty sure he’s been flirting with the hot barista from his favorite coffee shop in the university. He’s also pretty sure the guy’s flirting back. Now if only the guy stops mistaking him for a student. He’s a professor for christ’s sake.

It was surreal for Jimin to be accepted right after graduating. Granted, it was his own university that offered the job, but he’s happy nonetheless.

Still, with how young and fresh out of school he is, it was inevitable for people to be surprised that oh? you’re the teacher?
It’s mostly students that react that way, already expecting the professor Jimin has replaced for some of the classes. Kindly enough, they listen when he instructs them, and they don’t question his authority. Most of the misunderstandings usually stay as first time impressions.

1/ Late night tinfoil:

I think Ed could be onto something here.

There’s far more reckless ways Elon could go into chapter 11. Today’s slide deck was basically a startup pitch.

I’m just trying to imagine what Elon was thinking today.
2/ And the more I let it marinate, the more this comes to mind. He won’t be able to raise off of this. If he realized that a meaningful cap raise was out, then this could be the next logical* step to reframe the narrative. He has to be aware of the

*Elon logic
3/ demand cliff, rapidly shrinking margins, and (small) cash runway. So, dump the auto biz debt, DIP, and come back as a car maker focused on the ride-share/taxi biz. I’m not saying it’s a good idea or makes sense in any traditional way. But perhaps in the mind of Musk...

Late-night thread because I have some obsessive tendencies and I started this project hours ago but was determined to continue until I was done 😂

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A listing of Law People to follow on here 😱👨🏻‍⚖️👩🏻‍⚖️
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
For some background, I was asked by @misterfine a couple weeks ago for recommendations re Defense Bar Twitter

That request had a few problems – particularly that I'd never actually thought to compile a list of them, and hence any suggestions would miss many / most of the defense bar as well as other non-defense attorneys worth following

1/ Some background on Juncker's #SOTEU speech - focussing on the immigration law aspects

Here's the list of proposals, etc due to be made in the speech
2/ There's a plan for soft law on legal migration and migration relations with Africa, but the binding legislation to be proposed concerns the EU asylum agency, the border control agency Frontex, and the law on control of irregular migrants (the Return Directive).
3/ Lazy hot take alert: please don't buy into (or write!) that "this is when the EU finally listened to populist objections to migration". There have been a string of EU measures agreed or proposed since autumn 2015 on migration control, esp asylum, Frontex, and use of databases.
