Wine-drinking, food-eating, breath-taking MAVERICK defies Washington's RULES by threatening to allow the Senate to obstruct popular legislation for the first time in history Image
Opposing legislation because your wealthy donors tell you to may not be how things are done in Washington D.C., but a breath of fresh air is here to SHAKE THINGS UP
See, there's your problem. If the BBBA focused on material issues like child care and Medicare benefits rather than mandatory daily diversity training they'd have a better chance of getting Sinema's vote Image
A poll of 10 Axios writers asking what they think "woke" means would be grimly fascinating
Axios: LOL at the WOKE Democrat Party
Also Axios: "This obstructionist conservative senator beholden to wealthy special interests is something totally new and refreshing because she's a bisexual who dresses unconventionally" lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2021/10/when-y…

Too bad APSA is mostly online given the opportunity to watch Shohei Ohtani and DE FACTO PLAYOFF BASEBALL

"These people are so pompous and thin-skinned. A guy like Alito wouldn’t survive for thirty seconds in a debate between equals, which is why being a federal judge is the ideal job for him, assuming Pope or Emperor isn’t currently available"

Alito's whiny aggrievement reminds me of the Intellectual Horse Paste Web guy who thought his resignation should be a national news story lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2021/09/i-came…
On top of this there's some serious Lawyer Brain going on -- he seems to really think that people won't notice that a medical procedure that is the end result of one in five pregnancies isn't available if the Court doesn't say explicitly that Roe has been overruled

🚨🚨🚨Pete Wells surgical takedown of massively overpriced restaurant alert 🚨🚨🚨
Christmas in September
One reason Wells is a great critic is that the perfect one-liners are generally building up to a serious argument -- in this case, that 11MP's decision to go vegan seems an awful lot like cynical profit-taking rather than a principled commitment

LOL of the "dozens" of MA state troopers who "submitted resignation paperwork" a total of one (1) has actually resigned. Mandates work! Call their bluff! lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2021/09/give-m…
And it is utterly unsurprising that very few people are willing to give up well-compensated civil service jobs on the basis of a bullshit ad hoc "principle" that was invented in spring 2021 lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2021/08/the-po…
"So I'll just type up my resignation from my well-compensated job because banal requirements to be vaccinated have been extended to another safe and effective vaccine right now"

Apart from that, Mr. DeSantis lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2021/09/apart-…
You may not like it, but this is what peak gubernatorial performance looks like. In my new blog for Politico I will
Even aside from trivializing soaring death rates that are a direct result of DeSantis's negligence, the premise of is farcical. Leading the non-Trump alternatives in the 2024 primary field is about as impressive and meaningful as being the second-best team in the 2007 AFC East

If you search nytimes dot com for mentions of "John Eastman" over the last 30 days these are the only results ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2021/09/if-a-c…
WaPo has published several excellent opinion/analysis pieces but doesn't seem to consider the Eastman memo hard news, which is instructive in itself washingtonpost.com/search?query=j…
I guess for "Trump's lawyer laid out point-by-point plan to steal election the Vice President seriously considered" to be considered news Eastman would had to have forwarded it to John Podesta
