@BrianReganComic my sister and I were expressing shock at Trump’s Israel-Palestine outcome and her response was an homage to your telephone company bit
@RazOlsRF I’m as big a fed fan as you but wasn’t Roger 37 at that tournament? Still played out of his mind. Still keeps me up at night.
Loved joining @BrainTrustLive to talk law (in my personal capacity)!
Have you lost track of all 91 Trump indictments + where they stand? Our resident legal expert @imsoftness is here to unpack it all! Plus, updates on the CA Senate race, both parties playing themselves on immigration, and the political chaos of Taylor Swift braintrustlive.com/blog/2024/2/4/…
Had a great time joining @BrainTrustLive (in my personal capacity) to discuss recent legal news. Have a listen!
It’s official: BTL is now a legal podcast! Okay, maybe not actually, but we promise that you won’t hear a more in-depth conversation about the latest Trump indictment. We’ve got our resident legal expert Ben Softness to take us through it! braintrustlive.com/blog/2023/8/7/…
@OrinKerr He might say he's distinguishing between a 3-judge panel's power to make circuit precedent and whether such a precedent counts as "clearly established" law for purposes of QI. But if a prior panel *held* the law to be clearly established on some point, the distinction dissolves.
What an absolute nightmare of a session at SCOTUS! We needed someone to walk us through all the wild decisions of the last few weeks, so settle in for some exciting legalese (yes, that’s a thing!) with our resident expert @imsoftness. Don't miss it! braintrustlive.com/blog/2023/7/5/…
This is a crisis as dire as any. The fundaments of American society — things like democracy & the rule of law — only exist if people believe in them. They’re norms like anything else. And belief in norms comes from learning about them — their context and history and social value.
New data out this week revealed dismal scores by eighth graders on a national U.S. history test. Experts are pointing to a devastating combination of polarization over school curriculums and pandemic disruptions. trib.al/eWlmVLl
So loved joining you two!
.@imsoftness was kind enough to join us once again to explain all the legal news of the last few weeks! Go compliment him so he agrees to come back!
Such a pleasure to join these two!
⚡️A Special Edition of BTL! We promised a mid-week legal spectacular, and boy did we deliver! Real-life legal expert @imsoftness joins us to discuss the Fox/Dominion settlement, SCOTUS decisions, the Trump indictment, and so much more! Don’t miss it! braintrustlive.com/blog/2023/4/26…
Hopefully I’m not being duped by good marketing — just bought!

@lilainchelsea Lila endorsing Sinema is a twist
What is “for you” versus “following”? It feels like I have to read twice as much. Not willing. Reading way less now.
Curious how the players featured in #BreakPointnetflix will play in the #AusOpen now that the documentary is out and they’re more famous. So far Berretini out in R1, Kyrgios hurt, FAA down two sets … @PatrickMcEnroe @darren_cahill @bgtennisnation
McDonald is playing the #Federer playbook against Nadal to perfection. Hit hard, don’t fear the forehand, own the baseline. #AusOpen @PatrickMcEnroe @darren_cahill
@cmclymer Charlotte the total tally is 216 to 212 to 4 to 2. Doesn’t that leave 3 more votes? How does that work? Just absences?
facade. Still remembering being asked to read a paragraph aloud in 9th grade English and saying "fa-kade."
hey kids who learned their vocab from reading, what word that you mispronounced still haunts you
FFS, the word is “anyway”
