How about the botched California bar exam implementation. Such a stressful time that literally takes a piece of your soul, feel so bad for everyone affected. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/us/california-bar-exam-test.html

2025-03-03 14:53:14 +0000 UTCBills to require citizenship to attend public school - violates Supreme Court precedent, but maybe that’s the point? https://www.chalkbeat.org/2025/02/08/republican-bills-would-block-kids-without-proof-of-citizenship-from-schools/

2025-02-28 00:03:22 +0000 UTCThis is straight up bonkers procedurally. TRO's are generally not appealable but this is a stay of an order enforcing a TRO ?!? My brain hurts

2025-02-27 14:03:53 +0000 UTCI hope you have the chance to talk about Roberts decision allow the Trump admin to freeze USAID funds. SCOTUS is a fucking disgrace. even if you don't have time to properly cover it, I would appreciate a rant of whatever the appropriate length is to vent.

2025-02-27 05:26:20 +0000 UTCHow about dealing with the mental and spiritual challenges in dealing with all of these issues coming up? It’s not an easy task. I can also add for an in depth analysis of Lawrence Britt’s article on fascism, as it applies currently. https://web.archive.org/web/20030604055112/secularhumanism.org/library/fi/britt_23_2.htm

2025-02-27 03:20:33 +0000 UTCThe regime is doing so much illegal shit. Tell us about the lawsuits that have been filed. And what illegal shit has not yet been brought into the courts. And how we can help get it into court.

2025-02-27 00:31:24 +0000 UTCCould you talk about this new trans visa travel ban? Do you expect restrictions on trans folks leaving the country to be next? Will this hold up? How close are we from trans folks needing to flee given this update? https://www.instagram.com/share/BAuEuNbVWK

2025-02-26 23:06:19 +0000 UTCAgree, I work in the govt and would love to be able to cite specific reasons to my team about why they can breathe a little... or if not and need to start planning the worst

2025-02-26 22:28:51 +0000 UTCI saw a motion had been entered on Luigi not being Marandized correctly. If we could get a quick update on that I'd appreciate it
Trimethylxanthine
2025-02-26 20:08:27 +0000 UTCAnother week, another case of private "security" companies being used as goons by right wing powermongers to obscure responsibility for their actions. I'd love any sort of legal principles we can get from Matt around how to protect people in these situations. https://newrepublic.com/article/191908/gop-town-hall-idaho-lear

2025-02-26 19:41:21 +0000 UTCWould love any insights on the cases against Federal Probationary employee firings. The main one I've been tracking is: American Federation Of Government Employees, AFL-CIO v. United States Office of Personnel Management (3:25-cv-01780) Others have been thrown out as needing to go through admin remedies first but this one is still hanging on.

2025-02-26 19:39:21 +0000 UTChttps://bsky.app/profile/joshtpm.bsky.social/post/3lixx2qhgus2m Trump regime not approving an arrest warrant for a man when DC police present the US attorney with evidence of his assaulting a woman, simply because of the (R) after his name. This will also serve to reinforce in the minds of these congressmen that if they fall in line and vote Trumpian they will be protected. I give you the Party of Law and Order and Draining the Swamp.
Colbin Erdahl
2025-02-26 19:33:31 +0000 UTCI’d love any legal take on whether global tariffs will tank the US economy, and if there is any legal recourse to prevent it. Also any update on Luigi.
