Trump judges:
Musk is immune from deposition because he "is" "high ranking Executive Branch personnel" -- nevermind that even Art. II Sec. 2 officials can be deposed, Musk merely held an "informal" role as a "senior advisor," and he's not in that role now.

An Ohio newspaper has a new star writer. It isn’t human. At the 184-year-old Cleveland Plain Dealer, a top editor’s push to let AI draft news articles is boosting traffic β€” and spooking staffers.

Is it too much to hope that the "$4.5m tax break for 10 jobs" is an AI hallucination?

You knew you were behaving wrongly and foolishly; and you told yourself so, though you did not listen.***But if I had spoken sooner, it would not have lessened your desire, or made it easier to resist. On the contrary! No, the burned hand teaches best. After that advice about fire goes to the heart.

It's bad enough that this 5-4 decision arose from a case alleging White USPS employees withheld mail from a Black landlord on racial grounds.

Now consider this: this decision would also permit USPS bad actors to willfully withhold delivery of ballots to select mail-in voters on partisan basis.

If anyone can direct me to any demonstrably useful AI, I'd greatly appreciate it. To date, I've only encountered AOC. (As in, artificial overconfidence. Not the witty House Rep.)

Please stop saying "untrained." More accurate words include unfit, unqualified, and un-American. "Untrained" falsely suggests they lack training, or that these Call of Duty wannabes wouldn't have itchy trigger fingers anyway had they been trained differently.

Misconduct expert says state has the right to charge ICE officer who killed RenΓ©e Good Alas, the FBI's takeover of the investigation could make it difficult.

Ross and this admin's crack legal team should soon learn that recent SCOTUS case (Barnes v. Felix) will make defending Ross's murder of Good on qualified immunity grounds somewhat shaky. Case: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Why every vestige of Trump must be torn down He's trying to create a physical legacy. The moment he's out of power, it has to be smashed to bits.

A practical and non-political benefit: demonstrating how wasteful it is to spend money and effort on raising monuments to an acting president's ego, only to tear them down promptly after he is out of office, deters future waste from becoming routine or accepted.

It is generally counterproductive to any negotiation if you tell the other party that caving to your demands would be worse for them than opposing your demands.

Rep. Max Miller wants to bring the National Guard to Cleveland U.S. House member Max Miller, who represents Ohio’s 7th district, wrote an Op-ed in the Washington Times calling for the National Guard to be deployed to Cleveland to help with crime.

Of course. The guy with a history of assault, driving drunk, and relationships ending in physical abuse allegations wants the National Guard police a city he doesn't even live in, because -he- feels unsafe from -them-. www.cleveland19.com/2025/09/16/r...

Realpolitik of gerrymandering aside, Nina's position here may be influenced by self-interest. Recall: in 2022 she lost her primary run in Ohio's then-newly-gerrymandered 11th district. Nina continues to have political ambitions, but Ohio also continues to be heavily gerrymandered in favor of GOP.

We are witnessing the modern equivalent of the destruction to the Library of Alexandria. If you rely on data, history, research, or websites hosted by the government, and have access to it, make copies so facts and truth can be restored after this administration is ash.

These historians oversee unbiased accounts of U.S. foreign policy. Trump fired them all. An advisory committee of historians helps ensure the record of America’s history remains unbiased, transparent and thorough. Trump just fired the entire panel.

The fabulist in chief "issued executive orders in March stating that he wants to shape the narrative of U.S. history in curriculum and museums to avoid 'a sense of national shame.'"

Or, he fears history will be unkind to him, so history must be purged too.

It is time that judges cease presuming good faith basis for the executive branch's actions out of misguided respect for the office itself, and instead recognize the puny man occupying that office. (But...maybe lay off the exclamation points when doing so.) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

After this admin is out, ICE needs to be leashed at least to the level of other LE agemcies. No unidentified agents in plainclothes, unless undercover. No more raids on homes or seizing of personal property without an actual court-issued (not administrative) warrant, and receipt of property seized.
