@P_Wannemacher If I were running for mayor I’d do this once a week

[Jeff Garland @PieroDelecto]

@MBTA @unwveringclarty Still no shuttle buses at Harvard Square almost an hour later

[Jeff Garland @PieroDelecto]

@JessicaBRiedl @APompliano This is actually apparently how a lot of people feel when Narcanned - they wake up in withdrawal and angry with whoever just revived them

[Jeff Garland @PieroDelecto]

Dukakis looked kinda silly in that tank but at least he never pointed a gun at anyone’s head.

[Special Envoy Kristi Noem @EnvoyNoem]

Human traffickers. Drug Smugglers. 18th Street Gang members. Spent the morning in Phoenix with our brave @ICEgov and Arizona law enforcement arresting these dirtbags and getting them off of our streets.

[Jeff Garland @PieroDelecto]

@NickPinkerton 100% would watch Welfare in IMAX but might also have to be the last movie I ever watch

[Jeff Garland @PieroDelecto]

Seriously, though, what bothers me most about the Paul Weiss capitulation is this: if one of the worlds most powerful *law firms* doesn’t trust the legal system to protect it against an obviously illegal extortion attempt, that’s a really bad sign for us all

[Jeff Garland @PieroDelecto]

I assume traditional litigation clients will want lawyers who don’t fold in less than a week, but Paul Weiss’s “negotiating surrender on your enemies’ terms” practice could really take off this year

[Jeff Garland @PieroDelecto]

@tedcruz Someone should start a Make-a-Wish style charity for senators who apparently have never gotten to see something cool before

@myitalianhell “In another life, I really would have liked not being identified as being in this time and place with you”

[Attorney General Pamela Bondi @AGPamBondi]

I’d like to extend my condolences to the good people of Boston. Mayor Wu’s actions are callous and an insult to law enforcement across America.

As a result of the Mayor's decision to side with public safety threats over law-abiding citizens, DOJ will have no choice but to increase efforts in the city of Boston. Criminals will be prosecuted, illegal aliens will be arrested, and justice will be served.

See also his view of cities as Bernard-Goetz-era hellscapes and not artisanal cupcake shops etc.

[Jeff Garland @PieroDelecto]

My theory is that Trump’s worldview is stuck in the 80s and he views Russia as a much more powerful country than it actually is (and therefore, because he believes might makes right, entitled to do whatever it wants in its sphere of influence)

[Yasheng Huang 黄亚生 @YashengHuang]

I am genuinely curious. How does Russia, with a GDP comparable to that of Texas and Guangdong, manage to cast such an oversized influence over America and China, respectively the largest and second largest GDP in the world? What is the magic? What is it that I can teach my students so that they can acquire this hard power in reverse? Again I am genuinely curious and I really want to know.

[Jeff Garland @PieroDelecto]

If you’re the Taiwanese government, you 100% have to be developing nuclear weapons now, right?

[Jeff Garland @PieroDelecto]

@segalmr @bdlatt “Rex v. _____” seems what they’re going for

[Jeff Garland @PieroDelecto]

@segalmr Yeah seems like the move is to demand to hear from Bove himself, ask about the contours of the quid pro quo (what would Adams have to do to get reindicted?) and then force the choice to dismiss with prejudice or not at all.

[The Boston Globe @BostonGlobe]

In dramatic overhaul, Cambridge becomes one of the first cities in Mass. to eliminate single-family zoning https://t.co/ILRyesCvqD

[Jeff Garland @PieroDelecto]

The first Trump administration did plenty of terrible things but none so bad as the Iraq War, so in my rankings it was still a few points above GWB. The second Trump administration is already doing Iraq-War levels of terrible in just its first few weeks.

[Sean Burns @SeanMBurns]

At WBUR this week I wrote about the best films of 2024. https://t.co/r4tQWNiSnd

[Jeff Garland @PieroDelecto]

@ScottGreenfield Maybe the first time in my career copying and pasting from one of those pro se sovereign citizen types

[Jeff Garland @PieroDelecto]

@ScottGreenfield If they get their wish on birthright citizenship it’s gonna make for some fun motions to dismiss in criminal cases
