Hey, #LitigationDisasterTourists, who wants to read the Matt Gaetz Ethics Report with me?
As we do, let's keep in mind that this was a report the GOP fought hard to keep us from seeing - while Matty was being nominated for US Attorney General
I updated my accessible Drake meme (and a link to news story):

I have missed the #LitigationDisasterTourists threads. Thanks for this! 👍
(I also miss @questauthority.bsky.social threads b/c I'd guess how many f**k-a-ducks he'd have in them! 😂)
OK #LitigationDisasterTourists, let's talk about this filing.
First, let's talk about what it is, and what it isn't
Hey, #LitigationDisasterTourists - here's Drake's filing
iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewD...
Disaster Tour will leave the station once the kids are in bed (fair warning, Little Man stays up LATE)
I missed #LitigationDisasterTourists on the hellscape when he came here.
So glad I found him again,
Hey, #LitigationDisasterTourists: In news that should surprise nobody, the DC Circuit has unanimously rejected Trump's "Presidential Immunity" attempt
(Decision is here: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...)
Hey, #LitigationDisasterTourists:
The turducken has landed.
I repeat, the turducken has landed
Hey, #LitigationDisasterTourists
In what can only be described as a Litigation Disaster turducken, it looks like Laura Loomer is about to sue Ron Coleman for malpractice ... using Larry Klayman. (This is coming out of her doomed suit against CAIR, for which she has to pay fees)
Hey, #LitigationDisasterTourists, the Vic Mignogna lolsuit has reached its inevitable almost conclusion: The Texas Supreme Court denied his petition for review. www.txcourts.gov/supreme/orders-opinions/...
Hey, #LitigationDisasterTourists: Going to drop a little bit of content here, as a treat.
Twitter is now blocking Mastodon links - to both posts and accounts - as "harmful". Checked it myself, here's the error message that pops up. Give it a shot with any Mastodon link you want.
Akiva’s latest for all you #LitigationDisasterTourists! mastodon.sdf.org/@AkivaMCohen/10950653265...
Hey, #LitigationDisasterTourists, remember that chess lawsuit between Hans #Niemann and #Magnus Carlsen?
The defendants (other than Play Magnus, which hasn't been served) filed motions to dismiss. Tour through the Carlsen brief starts here...
Anyway, you'll still see me around as I transition over, and you'll still see "Hey, #LitigationDisasterTourists" pop up in your feed every so often. It'll just have a mastodon (or post, where I'm, creatively, @AkivaMCohen) link for you to find the rest.
Hey, #LitigationDisasterTourists ...
So, I've been a bit busy this week and this weekend. But as you all probably know, on Thurs the 11th Circuit issued its ruling overturning Judge Canon's insane order appointing a special master to review materials seized at Mar-a-Lago
Hey, #LitigationDisasterTourists ... it's rare that you get to see one of these in slow-motion development, but apparently a newly elected Teaneck town council member is threatening folks for commenting on her.
This'll definitely end well
...
Hey, new #LitigationDisasterTourists arriving for the Niemann v. Carlsen dust-up, the replies to this tweet link previous discussions "Twiqbal plausibility" - something I mentioned upthread and longtime readers know, but new folks probably won't
Hey, new #LitigationDisasterTourists arriving for the Niemann v. Carlsen dust-up, this tweet is the first in a side-thread of links to older tweets discussing "actual malice" - an important standard in US defamation law that significantly harms Niemann's chances of success
I should be working but instead I'm sitting here waiting for @AkivaMCohen's #LitigationDisasterTourists analysis of the new Trump lawsuit.
Hey, #LitigationDisasterTourists Judge Loose Cannon is at it again, apparently completely unchastened by the shellacking she received from the 8th circuit and once again handing Trump everything he asks...
Heads up, #LitigationDisasterTourists - Judge Cannon just issued an order in response to the 11th Circuit's stay, striking from her prior order the provisions dealing with classified documents
Hey, #LitigationDisasterTourists - at about 11pm last night, the US filed its 11th Circuit response on its motion to stay.
As Zuma would put it, let's dive in
(Yeah, I've got little kids, and that show's watchable. It is what it is)
Hey, #LitigationDisasterTourists, Trump has filed his 11th Circuit opposition to the government's motion to stay Judge Cannon's order with respect to the 100 documents bearing classified markings. Let's do a live read?
Hey, #LitigationDisasterTourists - the sovcits have decided that the Trump Mar-a-Lago docket is a great place to dump random filings.
Like this one, "giving notice" that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land and claiming Trump is still...
Hey, #LitigationDisasterTourists, we have 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨developments 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 in the Mar-a-Lago litigation.
Requires some background, but let's just say it looks like TFG is going to regret suggesting Judge Dearie as the Special Master
OK, #LitigationDisasterTourists, let's talk about the latest lawless decision from Judge Cannon - and I *do* mean "lawless"
OK, #LitigationDisasterTourists, let's take a look at the briefing by both sides on this attempt by #WashingtonHebrewCongregation to claim they had parents waive liability for WHC fondling their kids at daycare, a sentence I can't believe I just typed.
OK, #LitigationDisasterTourists, there's actually some stuff in the "What the special master should do" section that we need to talk about.
Like this:
OK, #LitigationDisasterTourists, let's review the DOJ's Mar-a-Lago filing. A terrific brief - well written and persuasive - it does exactly what you want to do when you're defending a motion: offer the judge multiple independent reasons to say...
