Jessica is on site this week working with a court to figure out what helps people succeed when they visit a court website. She’s on tour, visiting at least two other courts this month.

Wrapped up my first site visit for my @free.law Litigant Portal project. There's no substitute for seeing the challenges pro se litigants face firsthand & learning from the incredible court staff. I've got pages of ideas to make the Litigant Portal more helpful, intuitive, and powerful!

RECAP could always use more reviews if folks are up for it! Overall, a couple of dumb reviews are dragging us down to 4.7 stars — so-so. Bah! chromewebstore.google.com/detail/recap...

RECAP - Chrome Web Store

RECAP improves the experience of using PACER, the online public access system for the U.S. federal courts.

Some recent reviews of the RECAP extension are incredibly kind — thank you! If you haven't tried RECAP and you know what PACER is, give it a shot. It takes 1 minute to install, literally, and then you'll save money while helping others. free.law/recap/

I haven’t posted much lately because I’ve been busy building. What have I been building, you ask? I have been building Nomolith. Long thread follows! 🧵

He dumped water we needed in LA to fight the Palisades wildfires into the Central Valley just to fuck us over and it wasted water they needed for the grow season. No one remembers this either. It's insane.

It's pretty infuriating that Trump is denying disaster aid to Oregon for political reasons and I have barely heard anything about it, while Biden was falsely accused of doing the exact same thing to North Carolina and millions of people believed that

I can't stress enough what a crisis this is. Trump's own intelligence agencies concluded that Iran attacked Minnesota's critical infrastructure and Trump is saying that it's Minnesota's own fault and denying it was Iran. The federal government won't defend blue states in a literal war.

U.S. Sees Iran as Likely Behind Cyberattack on Minnesota Water Systems (Gift Article)

Investigators cautioned that the assessment was preliminary. There were no indications that any water supply had been rendered unsafe to drink.

In a review of our cybersecurity evaluations, we found three incidents in which a Claude model reached the internet from within or while interacting with a third-party evaluation environment, and then gained unauthorized access to the real systems of three different organizations. (1/4)

FLP just signed a deal that will fight mass incarceration and save lives. Sadly, we're in stealth mode on this one, but we expect results in about ten months. Good things are possible, folks.

Lovely, the Trump administration has ordered National Park Service employees not to notify the public about deaths. Wouldn't want visitors knowing what dangerous circumstances to avoid! www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Internal memo orders staff not to reveal deaths in national parks

Guidance issued by the Interior Department instructs National Park Service staff not to confirm deaths, the severity of injuries or other details.

More than 30 water systems in Minnesota have been hit in what officials call a “coordinated cyberattack.” One said the hacking shared characteristics with those that federal agencies have been warning against — shortly after federal alerts about Iranian hacking. www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

Minnesota IT officials disclose 'coordinated cyberattack' at more than 30 local water systems

A "coordinated cyberattack" targeted more than 30 ‌community water systems in the U.S. state of Minnesota on July 26 and July 27, the state's IT agency said in a statement.

President Trump had (loudly) promised that he would ask #SCOTUS to grant rehearing of its June 30 decision blocking his executive order purporting to limit birthright citizenship. The deadline for such a request was yesterday—and ... crickets.

Wait. They all shake hands at the end? What are we even doing here? He's the US President suing you for $20 billion for reporting on the birthday card he sent his friend the pedophile in which he drew a naked girl & mused about secrets. And they all shake hands?

Remarkable camera angle of President Trump as he listens to Wall Street Journal reporters receiving an award for their investigation into Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein — which they pursued despite Trump’s threats and lawsuit.

jamelle@jamellebouie.net · 2w ago

interesting to me that as the administration treats democratic-voting states like conquered or occupied territories, you don’t have pundits demanding the president respect “half the country”

NEW: In a stunning admission, the Trump administration admitted in court documents that it canceled billions in energy grants to states "based solely" on politics -- and whether that state was represented by Democrats and backed Harris in 2024. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...
