Losing Lou Holtz isn’t just a loss—it’s a transfer of responsibility.
At some point, you stop being shaped… and start shaping others.

How can ANYONE read this story and think this is OK?

Sen. CORNYN: I don’t get how the SAVE Act disenfranchises.

Sen. DURBIN: Happy to explain. Drivers licenses don’t work. 50% of Americans don’t have passports.

Cornyn: Amend it?

Durbin: When’s the last time the Senate amended a bill?

I waited to comment on the girls' school struck in Iran because I wanted the facts to emerge first. But the situation has become absurd & needs to be condemned by every single American.

It was the WSJ and WaPo — not our own military leadership — that conducted the forensic investigations and confirmed the strike by U.S. forces. Despite the evidence, the President is still deflecting, suggesting Iran was responsible while simultaneously acknowledging the use of a Tomahawk missile — a weapon Iran doesn't even have.

Hegseth refuses to confirm the "error" even as Republicans in Congress have already begun calling it out as a tragic mistake.

The point is, we know what happened. Yet instead of an apology or a transparent briefing, Hegseth has chosen this EXACT moment to announce he is further weakening independent legal checks. Note: he already fired the top JAGs of the Army, Navy, and Air Force all at once back in Feb 2025, and many of these top roles have remained vacant ever since.

By rolling back rules of engagement and removing JAG oversight on war crimes and constitutional compliance, he is signaling that accountability is no longer a priority. The messaging truly could not be worse.

I was using ChatGPT for legal advice and it decided to completely hallucinate some preposterous nonsense about how growing wheat to use on my own farm somehow constitutes interstate commerce

If you had said 10 years ago that a college Republican group would advocate a constitutional crisis in order to uphold import taxes, they’d gave thrown you in an asylum.

[Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul]

For anyone putting loyalty to a person above loyalty to the Constitution, Justice Gorsuch’s remarks should be required reading. His words are a reminder that our highest duty is to the rule of law and the founding principles that define America.

[Robert Gorman @TheGoreMan]

@MagnaAulae @ConLawWarrior Interesting, thanks. Do you have the view that this history influenced Gorsuch’s reasoning?

[Robert Gorman @TheGoreMan]

@MagnaAulae @ConLawWarrior Is it the same Nowill? The Kirk v. Nowill case he cited is from the courts of England and Wales from 1786.

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

.@JamesTalarico: For 50 years, the religious right convinced our fellow Christians that the most important issues were abortion and gay marriage—two issues that aren't mentioned in the Bible.

Jesus tells us exactly how we're going to be judged: by feeding the hungry, by healing the sick, and by welcoming the stranger.

Don’t tell me what you believe. Show me how you treat other people, and I’ll tell you what you believe. Jesus gave us two commandments: love God and love neighbor.

There was no exception to that second commandment regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status, or religious affiliation.

Just a suggestion: the kind of person who would seek personally to profit from having an airport named after him ... is the kind of person airports should not be named after.

Santa Fe’s Archbishop Wester: “In recent days, we have witnessed Speaker of the House Mike Johnson publicly criticizing Pope Leo XIV’s position of welcoming the stranger. While every person of faith and goodwill can, and should, engage in political debate regarding immigration policy, national borders, and the treatment of migrants, it is deeply
concerning when theological language and sacred texts are used to diminish the fundamental dignity of human beings created in the image of God.”

If support for incumbent the president is now a condition of enforcing federal law, Congress should defund DOJ. DOJ should only exist if it’s nonpartisan. Too dangerous to liberty otherwise. If AG Garland’s office had posted this, MAGA & GOP would be calling for impeachment.
