On Thursday I wrote about the 2014 injunction Russell Brand obtained against a woman who accused him of assault.
I've now obtained the final order. It's breathtaking.
She had no lawyer. No trial. Yet she was silenced for life - even barred from speaking to the police.

Trump's arch design has prominent niches and panels for the display of statues and relief sculptures.
Yet the White House has conspicuously refused to say *what* statues and sculptures it intends to put there. That part is left blank in every proposal.
We all know why that is.

A Monument to the American Spirit.
The Military Triumphal Arch will honor the heroes who gave everything for our nation - a monumental tribute to America’s first 250 years & a symbol of the next 250.
A legacy of freedom. A future without limits.

Trump personally rejected proposals for the niches be walk-through arches, "to preserve wall surface area for sculpture." But the administration claims they don't know yet what they want to put there. As if Trump hasn't considered the question.

Trump, standing in the concrete and steel husk of his ballroom the day after 'an extinction level event for Republicans': "Now envision chandeliers and marble floors... this is the greatest event." He is smiling. "Pretty amazing, right?"

I walked the Trump rally line to listen, not make assumptions. I talked with voters, asked questions and heard what matters to them.
When I'm elected, I'll represent all 82 counties and every Mississippian, no matter who they voted for. That's what being your senator means. #MississippiMatters

This is so unbelievably vile. I think it will fail. I hope it does, and I hope the stench of it clings to him for the rest of his time on this earth.
Vance on El-Sayed: We have to understand what happens when our nation gives into these kinds of people with zero attachment to its land or to its history.
What we saw in France, the hatred, the ingratitude, the desire to destroy rather than a desire to build, that exact same ed El-Sayed.

Preemptive petition for the Roberts court to overturn democratic elections because Trump wants Republicans. Ideally the decision won’t be written by the insurrectionist.
And the efforts by Trump to stop certification of election results they don't like has begun. DOJ now seeking to block Alaska Senate results if Peltola wins and the other Dan Sullivan gets votes

Leo Wise, a hard-nosed ex federal prosecutor whose career spanned Enron to Hunter Biden makes a powerful case that the Supreme Court has made public integrity prosecutions impossible — ushering a golden age of corruption.

Expedia is a textbook case of enshittification. It is also a feature of allowing whole sectors of the economy to be rigged by online platforms, reinforced by the 2007 SCOTUS opinion in Leegin.
It should be a top priority for the new Congress to reverse Leegin and make coercive platform price restraints illegal per se.

Tragic news: Curtis Flowers, who faced an extraordinarily ordeal by being prosecuted six times for the same crime by a Mississippi DA over decades before SCOTUS sided with him in 2019, just died at 56.
Flowers' case was core to the 'In the Dark' podcast.

This is the most incredible moment you will ever see during this sort of testimony. Don't let anyone spoil it for you before you watch!
After you understand the perjury Schmitt is accusing Smith of, you can jump to 4:30. Genuinely have never seen anything like this.

I would like to give kudos to AOC for once again being the only adult leftist and avoiding Graham Platner like the plague
It's amazing how many times the rest of the left does something apocalyptically stupid and the only one who avoids having to backtrack is Cortez. Given she's a) way smarter than any other leftist political figure in America and b) a woman under 40, I suspect she took one look at Platner, thought "I would not leave my drink unattended near that guy," and stayed as far away from him as possible

Oh please. It's been obvious for the better part of a year that this is who he is. It's the least surprising development of 2026.
I’ve been very clear that sexual assault or violence against women is a red line. These allegations are very serious and credible. Graham Platner should drop out from the race. I am withdrawing my endorsement.

FIFA is doing FIFA things, but dang, this is so joyless.
Even if Americans are happy that Balogun can now play (myself included), FIFA has just set an insane precedent:
Any interpretable red card at the World Cup can now come under scrutiny in hindsight. The referees judgment isn’t final. It hints at the fact that FIFA can do as they please, even if it means disagreeing with the subjective decisions of their own referees.
Imagine how Rafael Clauss (referee) and Juan Soto (VAR) are feeling right now? FIFA just undermined their credibility.
This isn’t overruling something objective, a decision that’s based on fact. They’re rescinding a decision based on opinion. For as much as I believe Balogun didn’t deserve the red, it’s an interpretable decision.
Anything can now be questioned after the fact. And it’s up to FIFA’s “judicial body” – whoever that is, wherever they are – to call make critical decisions as they see fit.
