Divorce is getting hairier. Just ask the family pet. https://t.co/lMmfztFxei I once had a dog custody case. I ordered the parties to bring the dog to court to certain his preferences but also ordered the parties to each visit the animal shelter prior to the hearing.

@adamemedia1 @goldenerin Thanks to the Pope for continuing moral clarity to an unjust war.

[Kevin S. Burke @JudgeKSB]

I was privileged to speak to the Wisconsin Association of Treatment Court Professionals about procedural fairness. Courts get better outcomes when litigants are listened to, treated with respect and understand the judge’s order.

President Trump values the truth which is why he uses it so sparingly

[Adnene Nasri @TheOther_9]

ABSOLUTE CINEMA 🔥

Trump: “I met a 92-year-old Mr. Toyoda in Japan 🇯🇵. I asked him what he had to do with Toyota. He said, ‘I own it.’ Then he agreed to invest $10 billion in the U.S.”

Meanwhile, in reality:
The real owner passed away in 2023, and Toyota’s current CEO is 65 years old.

Trump telling stories again… the man just can’t stop lying

Gas prices are currently higher than they were during World War II (1941–1945), both in absolute terms and when adjusted for inflation.

Susan & I played Doonbeg before Trump bought it. It was a great course.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Q: On Doonbeg, you're building an extension to it but there's been an objection put in due to 'small snails.' Are you disappointed?

TRUMP: I have not heard that

Why Retiring Members of Congress Still Won’t Stand Up https://t.co/hUYB8e0Mpc . A pretty sad commentary but insightful perspective of why Washington DC is broke.

“Honest graft” describes the political culture of the Gilded Age, when rapid industrial growth in the United States was accompanied by widespread political corruption. https://t.co/fbMSBVjJmg

Immigration judges speeding up removal cases involving Somali people https://t.co/QXwKHhcGhN Advocating judicial independency is not a popular notion but in this case it is critical. Immigration judges should not be housed in DOJ.

[Kevin S. Burke @JudgeKSB]

Domestic abuse is a critical issue facing our state. Regrettably there are no simple solutions. We need more shelters for victims. We need a system the responds to escalation. We need a system that responds promptly.

[Michael Brodkorb @mbrodkorb]

This is horrible—an absolute nightmare.

Out of funds, Maine’s public defense agency can no longer pay contracted lawyers https://t.co/VxbYU9BoV9 Unfortunately this headline could come from a lot of states. Adequate & stable funding for public defense is a constitutional imperative.

[Kevin S. Burke @JudgeKSB]

Few things in life are as joy able as being interviewed by Chad Hartman about the issues we face.

[Chad Hartman @ChadHartmanShow]

"The judge has to set bail at some amount and it's scary."

Tremendous insight from @JudgeKSB on our bail system and how he would reform it. Plus good stuff on turmoil at our US Attorney's office an the impact it has on faith in the justice system.

[Kevin S. Burke @JudgeKSB]

Even Nancy Mace condemned this promptly. Trump claimed Congresswoman Omar may have staged this and Congressman Emmer is silent. Political violence is unacceptable.

[Chad Hartman @ChadHartmanShow]

I don’t care if you agree or disagree with Ilhan Omar.
Tonight you should respond one way, this was potentially dangerous what happened to her tonight and must be condemned.
The White House, Tom Emmer and others should speak in support of her tonight, not on policy, but on safety

If you were from Minnesota you would know that this was simply to set up pond hockey for the ICE members.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin on "acts of violence" against ICE agents in Minnesota: "Pouring water on the ground so that it would freeze the ground in front of our federal law enforcement vehicles so that they would potentially slide, crash, and potentially kill them"

@McFaul @CourtProf Why can’t President Trump just buy a Nobel Peace Prize Medal on EBay like the rest of us?

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Sad that Machado felt compelled to give her Nobel Peace Prize Medal to Trump. But she has to do whatever it takes to restore democracy in Venezuela.

As an American, I'm really embarrassed that my president actually took it.

Many of you will immediately think this article was written by the Onion or some other satirist. E.P.A. to Stop Considering Lives Saved When Setting Rules on Air Pollution https://t.co/SMOlOpr0qa via @NYTimes

[Kevin S. Burke @JudgeKSB]

Hopefully he will turn down the offers he surely will get and keep us informed on WCCO

[Kevin S. Burke @JudgeKSB]

Chad who won the Heisman Trophy (he was the highest bidder 0n EBay,) has all the credentials to be a great football NFL head coach

[Chad Hartman @ChadHartmanShow]

@SeifertESPN A little disappointed you didn't mention my interview with the Ravens, #crazyleague
