    Good shit.

    https://www.texastribune.org/2025/11/18/texas-redistricting-ruling-lawsuit-el-paso-court-2026-midterms/

    “The public perception of this case is that it’s about politics,” U.S. Judge Jeffrey Brown, a Trump appointee, wrote in the ruling striking down the new lines. “To be sure, politics played a role in drawing the 2025 Map. But it was much more than just politics. Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map.”

    Yeah, it might not survive SCOTUS, but they'd have to rule by December 8, when candidates have to register.  And they can't just do it on the shadow docket, I don't believe.

    Really good shit.  I didn't know much of Jeff Brown when he was at the Texas Supreme Court except for running into him at social functions, and he was a nice enough guy.  Like all the judges who run for or are appointed to that high court, he seemed like a political creature as much as the next Texas Republican.  But I never got a huge MAGA vibe from him.  I'm guessing Trump, who appointed him to the federal bench, will write a scathing middle-of-the-night all-caps tweet attacking him as "the worst judge."

    Hey can you recipe this please? I get the gist, but I'd like some pointers on temperature, time, etc. Thank you.

    Here's the basics for 4 thighs (I doubled):

    Start with making a paste on a large sheetpan that includes peeled rinds from two lemons (reserving juice from the lemons), 1 tbsp. salt, 8 smashed garlic cloves, 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1.5 tbsp oregano, 1.5 tbsp coriander, and 1 tsp crushed red pepper.  Toss with chicken thighs and 1.5 lbs fingerling potatoes sliced lengthwise.  Arrange in a single layer, chicken side up, and roast on 400 for 50-60 minutes until chicken skin is crisp and golden brown.  After removing from oven, put chicken and potatoes on serving platter.  Pour reserved juice from the two lemons onto sheet pan, stirring with a spatula to scrape up the brown bits, and then pour it all over the chicken and potatoes.  Sprinkle feta and parsley on top.

    Well, my son got his first acceptance letter today to Western Carolina.  We really enjoyed our visit there and the school seems like which a really good fit for him.  What a relief.  

    I have no problems visiting Asheville to go visit him if he goes.  

    Has he also looked at Appalachian State?  I have no idea how those schools compare other than geographical setting.  But one of my best high school friends went there and loved it.

    They didn’t care when he sent her to minimum security. 

    It didn't really move the needle for the MAGA base.  It may have been just a tester from Trump to see what reaction the move might provoke, as he considers giving her a pardon.

    Even if they tried to scrub the files we all know they would fuck it up and they would miss shit.

    Kash will probably forget to destroy the infamous blowjob documents and include them in a batch of releases files, and be all like . . . .

    I’ve updated my odds for if the Epstein files will result in Trumps demise to 0%.

    I'm still optimistically thinking that the odds are greater than 0% because those currently charged with the security of the Epstein files also have an interest in self-preservation.
