@RyanRadia is an international treasure, and you all don't appreciate him enough. There, I said it.

A UNANIMOUS Supreme Court - in an opinion written by Sotomayor - agreed that NY's Superintendent of Financial Services violated the 1st A by threatening and pressuring insurers to punish the NRA. But the 2nd Cir says despite SCOTUS's unanimity she can't be held accountable…
‼️❕‼️ Attention Second and First Amendment Supporters Qualified immunity nullifies those rights too. Qualified immunity doesn't just protect cops making split-second choices. It also protects bureaucrats scheming to retaliate against advocacy. END QUALIFIED IMMUNITY ‼️❕‼️
A reminder that Kyrie was 4 years old when Kobe entered the League. A big reason many players of his generation idolize Kobe was because they were young children when he was actually playing.

Trump has signed legislation cumulatively adding $13 trillion in debt in his 4.5 years as president - dwarfing every other president in our lifetime. Give me a break.
Britt: We are $37 trillion in debt. It’s not just fiscally irresponsible, it is morally irresponsible and I'm so grateful to President Trump and his leadership for saying the buck stops with me and we’re starting to rein this in..

BIG WIN: An Indiana court granted class certification today in IJ’s challenge to the State’s abusive civil forfeiture practices. We get to argue that several hundred cash forfeitures are unconstitutional.
In case you missed it! George (@George_J_Hall) and @DavidBeckworth explain how the monetary authorities and the fiscal authorities are playing a dangerous game of chicken.
"I did look this up..." Buddy, you didn't even look up the definition of "revenue ."
They generate no revenue. That's the single problem. I did look this up, during the debate: the W has never once turned a profit. In a very real sense, it's an NBA charity project.
Last time the Lakers signed a fan-favorite Celtics point guard, they won a chip, all I'm saying. *ducks*
BREAKING: Marcus Smart has agreed to a contract buyout with the Washington Wizards and intends to sign a two-year, $11 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers after clearing waivers, sources tell ESPN. A return to a grand stage for the 2022 NBA Defensive Player of the Year.
I will literally never be too old or jaded to get absolutely stoked when my grandmas tell me they're proud of me. Best feeling in the world.
If you'd like to know more, @IJ's report Unaccountable did the most wide-ranging study of qualified immunity appeals to date. We analyzed every QI appeal over a decade, and our key findings should concern everyone:

In NRA v. Vullo, SCOTUS held that the NRA had a First Amendment claim against NY's finance czar because she coerced NRA's insurers to punish it for speech. Today, the 2d Cir. holds it doesn't matter. Why? QUALIFIED IMMUNITY. It's time for SCOTUS to end this lawless doctrine.
These days I don't like even joking about conspiracy theories, but the intentionally made up one about Finland not being real is pretty great.
What's a conspiracy theory you believe with your whole heart?
Look, Google, I appreciate the vote of confidence, but I'm not that guy.
