United States v. Bartko, No. 12–4298. | 4th Cir., Judgment, Law, casemine.com Get free access to the complete judgment in United States v. Bartko on CaseMine.

It was the same AUSA in this case where the 4th circuit called out the US attorney’s office for EDNC for their terrible discovery practices www.casemine.com/judgement/us...

LinkedIn has taken the fact that I always look at posts from DOGE as a signal to show me more of them. Confidential to the algorithm: it's hatereading! I'm not a chud!

A year ago today, some of the worst people in the world fired 18F for the unpardonable sin of serving the public. I hope those responsible never know a moment of joy. And I hope it eats at them that 18Fers went on to spread their impact across so many wonderful orgs to keep the mission alive.

β€œReaders should be able to assume that every word between quotation marks is what the speaker or writer said… The writer should, of course, omit extraneous syllables like β€˜um’ and may judiciously delete false starts.”

Deleted a post that said DOGE was ripping off Code for America LinkedIn posts but I think DOGE posted theirs first and CfA was just riffing on that. An arguably odd choice.

this is incredibly frustrating. By framing this as a policy demand Dems are aiding a disinformation campaign that is intended to confuse the public about what is constitutionally required.

The fact that anyone can say this and still be a part of public lifeβ€”much less one of the most powerful people in the worldβ€”is really beyond my ability to comprehend.

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

I'm honestly just sick. If you can stomach watching any of this footage & still let the words "more training" escape your mouth, I cannot ever forgive you. These are state-sanctioned street executions. This is the training.

It turns out if you follow the spirit of free inquiry and unburden yourself of the dead hand of conventional wisdom (read: the overwhelming weight of history, tradition, and precedent) then gee whiz the Trump admin can do whatever it wants.

That was well before my time, but I agree! I was working on taking the already good code and turning it into a web component so it would be easier for everyone to use.

This really drives home SCOTUS’s involvement in the dual state scenario. The same body’s rubber stamping fascist violence but also doing ho-hum choice-of-law stuff.

The Purged Donald Trump’s destruction of the civil service is a tragedy not just for the roughly 300,000 workers who have been discarded, but for an entire nation.

For some reason, very few people these days will stand up and say it, but: the US federal bureaucracy is one of the great wonders of the world, staffed with incredibly diligent people who do their jobs well and care deeply.

Trump's destruction of the federal apparaus was a historic crime.
