All respect to the legend but it was just okay!

[Josh Chafetz @joshchafetz]

Amazing lecture by the inimitable Guido Calabresi this afternoon @GeorgetownLaw

I've seen enough: Brandon Johnson defeats Paul Vallas in the Chicago mayoral runoff.

[Judy Heumann Legacy @judithheumann]

Thank you to everyone who has followed and supported Judy throughout her lifetime of advocacy. May her memory be for a blessing.

🚨🚨On today’s front page, @mariasacchetti and I tell the story of 1 of the 102 teens found cleaning slaughterhouses in a recent Labor Dept investigation.

She was only 13.

Child labor cases in the US have nearly quadrupled since 2015.

We have simply evolved beyond the need for “Chapo but for law dweebs” to exist.

Inbox: Nurses at George Washington University hospital are unionizing to improve patient care and nurse retention.

[Ben Stiller @BenStiller]

What is the deal with the flag football @espn #KNICKS

[The Recount @therecount]

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) defends the state blocking an AP African American Studies course from being taught at schools:

“This course on Black history, what’s one of the lessons about? Queer theory. Now, who would say that an important part of Black history is queer theory?”

Amazing moment in the Fifth Circuit this morning. In argument of a Title VII case, James Ho asks, incredulously, whether Mike Pence refusing to have lunch with any female employee would be discriminatory. Let’s be honest, Yale grads collectively dodged a bullet

@gallahadion Arguing against ICWA pro bono……………gotta respect the hustle. HOF-level bigotry

[Nate Morris 🥥🌴 @_natemorris]

While we were all busy watching Kevin McCarthy fall apart, we missed VP Kamala Harris doing an impression of Sen. Bennet’s deep voice during his swearing in and it’s hilarious.

[SAUCE GARDNER @iamSauceGardner]

Are you seriously talking about when the football game should be postponed? Damar Hamlin’s health is ALL that matters at the moment! Nothing else!!!

[Law & Political Economy at Georgetown @LPEgulc]

Michigan is down because Jim Barbough is anti-abortion

[Law & Political Economy at Georgetown @LPEgulc]

@thatsjusttarble Unfortunately we’ve seen in DC as well

[Law & Political Economy at Georgetown @LPEgulc]

Looks like NY Dems saw republican gains in the state as a signal that voters want a more conservative agenda. Have they considered that Cuomo, an unpopular/unelected gov, and congressional delegation infighting and midterm fundamentals just hurt them??

[Taniel @Taniel]

Dems talked a big game in 2022 about winning state elections to protect labor and abortion rights and a lot else from federal judges.

But now, the 1st big nomination to a blue state court since the midterms has unions & progressive groups super alarmed. https://t.co/hHc2RLLMep

Thank god we pulled out of the US rankings because takes like these would knock us right out of the T14. Justice for the tan suit!

[Law & Political Economy at Georgetown @LPEgulc]

Congress would call a special session to pass the MARLEY (Measures Against Reactionary Labor Yapping) and ME Act and squash collective canine bargaining power. A golden doodle Union ALONE could bring Washington to its knees

[Law & Political Economy at Georgetown @LPEgulc]

Gronk no!!!! You’re going to get railed by the Niners in the first round!!! Don’t do it! Gronk!!!

[Rob Gronkowski @RobGronkowski]

I’m kinda bored 😐…

[Law & Political Economy at Georgetown @LPEgulc]

@corinneblalock Lol I was joking you bet on the bears to beat the eagles (the televised Fox game on the east coast)

[Law & Political Economy at Georgetown @LPEgulc]

You also have the Bears moneyline?
