James O’Keefe on the Felony Charges for Exposing Fraud in Minnesota: This is not political. It is fundamental. It is about whether citizens still have the right to question their government. This is now a landmark First Amendment case, and every American’s right to speak truth to power has been put on the line. Weaponized lawfare does not work against me. It has always backfired on the people who come after me. Most people find criminal charges and lawsuits stressful; the process becomes a form of punishment. But I love this process because it gives me the opportunity to expose injustice at the highest levels. My foundation will be indemnifying members of the Justice League, including @camhigby for their lawful reporting. I’m calling on all Americans, and especially all journalists, to stand united on a message to the prosecutors in Minnesota: the politics of fear will not prevail in the United States of America.

My alma mater, Columbia University, quietly added this short answer question to their undergraduate application this year. Even they are starting to become wary of the strain of anti-Americanism that has infested universities across the West.

My 4 y/o son just walked in, tears in his eyes, and asked, “Dada—why did big law firm Weil Gotshal dissolve?” And when I told him it’s because the Democrats’ woke socialist policies are already scaring M&A financiers, he started crying

O’Keefe and Higby did not sign an affidavit or vote, so it seems like the crime here is merely exposing that MN allows random, totally unknown people to register and vote on Election Day. Fraud aside, what purpose would “vouch for 8 people you know live nearby who all don’t have ID” serve except to create a government for and by people with low executive function-who don’t think ahead, plan, or research, but will impulsively jump in a van if someone asks?

Commit voter fraud = slap on the wrist Expose voter fraud = 2 felonies What a joke.
A Minnesota prosecutor charges conservative influencers James O’Keefe and Cam Higby with felony counts of unlawful voting and identity theft after they misrepresented themselves at polling places using the names of registered voters. nbcnews.com/politics/2026-el…

public-inspection.federalreg… The right wing legalized crypto and peptides while the left wants to criminalize such and legalize illegal immigration.

Realizing those M&A lawyers were just in it for the money
There is something particularly repulsive about a century old institution being torn apart because the partners want to make $15 million instead of a mere $12 million.

There's a reason you don't see any young men participating in this trend And it isn't because they aren't taking the survey

Being a lawyer is realizing some people would rather spend $20,000 proving a point than settle for $5,000 and move on.

Law firm goes to the doctor, says its partners are leaving and it’s worried the firm will disintegrate. The doctor says “treatment is simple. The great restructuring firm Weil is available tonight. Go and see them for advice on your options” “But doctor…”
New color on what went down this weekend at Weil, a culmination of issues that have been plaguing the white-shoe law firm for years. Over 40 partners gone, M&A talks with Willkie over, and top brass is calling outside restructuring counsel for advice. You hate to see it.

Trump definitely didn’t hire pussy lawyers in his second term.
“If you are in this country illegally, it is virtually impossible for you to live in this country and not commit additional legal violations—working without authorization, identity theft. There’s a lot of illegality that goes on when you are breaking the law.” @DHSGenCounsel

AI chat histories becoming discoverable is tremendous news for litigators and catastrophic news for anyone who has ever typed “hypothetically” before describing exactly what they did.
TRACKED CHANGES: A federal judge cleared the Fontainebleau hotel to subpoena four AI companies for rabbi Shmuley Boteach’s chats about it in its defamation suit. The chats could show whether he meant to harm the hotel, Law360 reports.

I remember when we had to use logarithmic scales to illustrate exponential crypto price movements and now it’s just used to minimize migrant rape stats.
The Economist put the chart on a log scale. I wonder why they did that? Here it is on a normal one.

It is the most annoying trend of all time. The LinkedIn / AI style of posting. And now they’re doing it cold DMs. Sending the same message to 500 people at 4:31 AM. Replacing actual conversations with copy-paste AI slop.
