Just finalized and filed an appellate brief. Yes, it can be stressful at times, but words cannot describe how much I love being an appellate attorney. I was born to do this. The cynics on this website may laugh at me, but I don't care. #appellatetwitter

Anyone who has walked around a city has encountered people--mentally ill, drunk, stoned, violent, threatening those around them--who need to be institutionalized. It is not a humane policy to have them sleeping on the streets. This is a good thing. washingtonpost.com/health/2025/07…

Today, Joshua M. Divine was sworn in by Chief Judge Clark as the Eastern District’s seventh active U.S. District Judge. Judge Divine served in a variety of roles in the public sector, most recently as the Solicitor General for the State of Missouri. moed.uscourts.gov/news/2025/hon-…

Sen. Eric Schmitt: "The old post-war consensus is dead...the Right is no longer trying to 'conserve' an existing order. We’re fighting to topple one—and to take back control for ourselves and our posterity."

It’s now official: @vueling Airlines has confirmed that the captain of the flight during the severe antisemitic incident was Iván Chirivella, a native of the Canary Islands. In addition to his role as a captain, Chirivella also serves as a senior instructor at an independent…

Natural law moment indicator: the Senate just confirmed the first federal judge from the @JamesWilsonInst, founded by the great Hadley Arkes to advance natural law principles. Excited to see Judge Bluestone’s contributions to American jurisprudence!

As we see the late night bubble deflate with unfunny, money-losing hosts getting the chop, the same is overdue for these reporters who shed their credibility years ago. Can’t imagine the readership or viewership numbers are there anymore either.

With 50 yes votes and 48 no votes (no need for @JDVance to break the tie) cloture is invoked on the eminently qualified Emil Bove III to be a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

1/3 Breaking News: Ninth Circuit ruled in favor of Jessica Bates, the Oregon Christian mom who was denied the chance to adopt because she refused to agree to the demands of gender ideology. Congrats to Bates and @ADFLegal! ca9-showdoc.azurewebsites.us/NDA/b39f5e85-a…

This is a policy choice. We are choosing dogs over children. If we want cities that support families—rather than replacing them—we need to start acting like it. Full post on Thesis Driven: thesisdriven.com/p/on-urban-dogs

This stings, especially for anyone who grew up in the 80s. Hulk Hogan was larger than life, with charisma matched by few others. Professional wrestling would not be what it is today without him. May he rest in peace.

Right there with you, Maria! I don't know if people understand what it was like to have 99.9% of the people in media *viciously* attacking the few of us who fought their Russia collusion hoax groupthink. So glad we won. Every last one of them should leave in disgrace.

All the liars, the useful idiots and the uninformed who attacked me as I pursued truth and broke all of this in 2017 & 2018 should be ashamed of themselves I reported this first so long ago every detail but you tried so hard to attack me for pursuing truth. I knew karma wd come…

Although the strictly historical debate about the Protestant origins of America is interesting, in a certain sense it entirely misses the point. Grace does not destroy nature, but perfects and elevates it. As America becomes ever more Catholic (not necessarily as a statistical…

It is an honor to serve. We worked as a team w/HHS, DOE, GSA, & the White House for months on this deal. We took countless meetings with community leaders. We made innumerable improvements. We pioneered a new way forward in a major civil rights case. Feels good to bring it home!

Thank you to @AAGDhillon and all @TheJusticeDept attorneys who negotiated this deal!

Elite universities are not above the law. Columbia University will pay $221 million to resolve our claims of past discrimination. Thank you to @TheJusticeDept attorneys who negotiated this deal. Thank you to our partners @EdSecMcMahon and @SecKennedy. Above all, thank you to…
