Dude does kind of have the demeanor of a slow loris that just slammed a double espresso.

Real talk: I'd accept that the Undertaker was an genuine undead creature of the night who lived in a coffin before I believed that Alina Habba or Kash Patel were good attorneys.

If you're in the media and got an invite, I'm sorry you're going to miss your nerd prom where the press and the White House comms team pretend to consummate their loveless marriage, but you need to skip it and spend the time telling everyone why you're doing so. You can still wear a tux if you want.

Honestly, you either cancel the whole thing (preferable) until another administration opens the White House and Pentagon to the press and stops threatening reporters or you use it as an opportunity to sound the alarm. There is no middle ground.

I hate the current vibe of "OK, we're going to take a ridiculously simple case and, for the most part, do what people expect, but a few of the justices are going to pepper their dissents with little breadcrumbs you can use to put together a case that will cleave a side off the foundation."

I'd go with Chinatown or The Usual Suspects.

Man, they’re putting in the work. I’m sure that story is bulletproof.

Same. I'll make my own if I need a ton of it (e.g. making lasagna for a large group) but both Classico and Rao's are really good.

Yeah, I keep thinking that Republicans are about at their ceiling, they've been abusing minorities since forever and a low turnout (or college-educated suburbanites moving like they have elsewhere) could snap that Republican majority like a twig.

AOC hasn’t jumped in yet, but she impresses me more and more every time I hear her. I hope she runs and if she does, she’ll win.

I loved his first ad as much the next guy (the whole blue collar guy speaking frankly), but that’s style, not substance.

Among everything else, the use of “retarded” as a slur (and doing so in 2026) is disqualifying in its own right and he definitely hasn’t put in enough time putting the other stuff behind him and showing real contrition to dismiss it as youthful indiscretion.

Finally, while Kash might be surrounded by a lot of people who wouldn't take a call from the Atlantic or answer their questions, I doubt there are a lot of people in the Las Vegas bureau sufficiently loyal to him to lie and open themselves up to perjury.

Also thinking that the people who would know this could be deposed without the Atlantic needing to identify their sources. (They could probably just depose whoever would be the person who makes the call on breaching equipment or the team who would do it.)

I'd imagine there are a ton of career people who both witnessed the drunkenness AND want him gone enough to have talked to the Atlantic. Also thinking there are probably a number of people who could verify objective facts directly (e.g. were they asked to provide breaching equipment and by whom?)

Guessing someone at DOJ will draw the short straw and have to write a strongly worded letter alleging defamation per se providing no specific examples that isn't worth the paper it's written on.

Also guessing they would depose whoever was asked to supply the breaching equipment and team. Sounds like it never got to the point of them actually knocking the door down, but I'd imagine they could probably narrow who would take that request down to a small number of people.

Someone who actually knew what they are doing who would get a lot of cases going at the same time, put in a full work week sober and not destroy the cases by doing a supervillain monologue about investigating people out of spite could be doing a ton of structural harm.

Yeah, I'm kind of glad that we have an incompetent drunken clout-chaser in that role compared to the kind of damage that could be inflicted by a competent director who knew not to say damaging things with other capable zealots reporting up to them.

Would also be nice to see a bunch of them come from schools other than Harvard, Yale and Stanford to get some diversity of backgrounds in there as well.

All that and staggered terms that are still fairly long, but not, say something where there's an incentive to install a thirty-something who could be there for 50 years. Also, instead of a justice for each circuit, assign the initial disposition of appeals to a randomly assigned panel of three.

Every time I see his name in print, I can only wonder:

- What kind of parent thinks it's a good idea to name a child Buckley
- What kind of environment allows a sentient boat shoe named Buckley to make it to adulthood.

(And yeah, I know Tucker also named his own son Buckley.)
