Two and a half years ago we recorded an episode about the rise and fall of a Scalia clerk, and at the end of it we did ten minutes on this other guy who was connected to him. We later found out from counsel that it’s always the secondary target who sues. https://t.co/u5oxSjDOMw
The inventors of the legal podcast return, once again totally reinventing the art form. No longer content to merely report on the stories, ALAB dares to *become* the story. Monumental.

@ALABSeries The steady realization of how insane this is marks this as one of the greatest executions of the podcast form that I’ve never heard. At first you think it’s a joke, then you realise “oh my God this is for real”, THEN you realize “this is real AND it’s an incredible joke.”
The Fed reported that the $800 billion PPP program gave 72% of its benefits to the richest 20% & "cost taxpayers $4 for every $1 of wages & benefits received by workers" https://t.co/bEM5gPnmSU
Student debt relief is $300 billion & provides most of its benefits to the bottom 60%

Gaza: 44 killed including 15 children. 360 injured. Hundreds of homes damaged.
Israel: Milk production reduced.
Democrats are like, “we’re gonna do something about climate change! Just as long as it’s written by our two most corrupt members, also reduces the deficit, lowers inflation, gets a pass from private equity, does not benefit China, and locks in fossil fuel extraction for decades.”
I wrote about Alabama's plan to use $400 million in Covid relief funds to construct three new prisons, which should violate Treasury guidelines on how Covid funds may be spent.
But the Treasury also said it won't necessarily enforce those guidelines.
