Important context: Last November, the Office of Refugee Resettlement stopped paying the legal groups that had been representing these children because those groups would not give confidential information to the government. One imagines the new law firm will be happy to comply.

Man who took oath to support and defend a constitution that details the alternative to taking a nominee only at his word: "We have no alternative but to take his word."
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayCornyn: "As to the idea it could be revived in the future, I think it's highly unlikely that could happen without the cooperation of the DOJ. And I think Mr Blanche gave us the assurances that it was dead and would not be revived and in this case we have no alternative but to take his word" 🙃

Trump Moves to Cut Off Student Loans for Tons of Degrees
Under a new rule, if your degree doesn’t make enough money, you won’t be able to get a student loan.

As I have been saying since ~2015: When in his life has Donald Trump left something—other than his bank account—in better shape than he found it?
Guys, it's right there in the Constitution. If you zoom in on the comma after "The Congress shall have Power...To declare War," it says "but only after there have been significant casualties." #originalism
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdaySen. Rand Paul: "I've had the debate with this administration ... they told me this isn't a war. I said, why isn't it a war? They said, 'Well, a constitutional war has to have significant casualties' ... initiation or declaration of war is *before* the casualties."

The common thread connecting these stories is that 3 of the lawyers involved were among those decamping from Wachtell to Gibson Dunn. Could be a coincidence...or vicious revenge.

Robert Post, former YLS Dean, on why Yale may be negotiating with the DOJ.
Jeremy Stahl@jeremystahl.bsky.social · 6d agoThe Trump administration sued Yale for its admissions policies (alleging too much diversity). Yale is negotiating with DOJ, whereas Harvard fought Trump. The former dean of Yale Law School thinks he knows the real reason why. slate.com/news-and-pol...
It seems at least possible that the last act of Mitch McConnell’s professional career—if not his life—will be a nakedly partisan attempt to preserve party advantage. In that respect, this otherwise pitiable episode is altogether fitting.

🎉🥳 Thrilled to announce that after a week of reading new literature and falling down footnote-induced rabbit holes, I can confidently write a footnote of my own saying, “That literature you might be tempted to think is relevant to my argument is not, in fact, relevant to my argument.” #blessed
I just know I'm gonna get yelled at about this, but since it is squarely within my area of expertise ... Fauci is probably right that Paul has an "unhinged obsession with" him. Nevertheless, that doesn't excuse Fauci from the obligation of testifying truthfully before a Senate committee.
Just awful. For nearly 2 decades, Hansard has been—as he was for so many others—a constant musical presence. Grateful he left such a rich body of work.

Hansard, who was 56, won the best song Oscar for the 2007 low-budget musical film Once.

409 days (median) from submission to publication if you're lucky enough to be among the ~6% of accepted manuscripts.
When deciding which journal to submit a manuscript to, I have to consider a myriad of important questions. Perhaps most importantly: which journal's word limit is high enough?
Trump obscures military casualty numbers. Manipulating perception of US war dead has a long history. FDR did the opposite of Trump: lessening censorship of casualty photos to keep Americans engaged during WWII. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/26/u...
Makes sense. Repeatedly doing the same thing, even despite negative consequences, is a common symptom of dementia.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 2w agoThe Trump administration announced it will set tariffs on over 80 countries on Friday, a new effort to uphold a policy that courts have repeatedly invalidated. More duties are likely to be on the way in the coming weeks.
