A dramatic digital illustration of a fiery horse galloping dynamically across a dark black background, its entire body composed of vivid orange and red flames with trails of fire, smoke, and sparks extending from the mane, tail, and legs, creating a sense of intense motion and energy. The horse is in mid-stride with one front leg extended forward and the other raised, reflected symmetrically in a subtle glossy surface below.

Unfortunately, the outcome of our race cannot be understood without also taking into account the massive flood of dark money that AIPAC spent on dishonest ads, which falsely accused me of supporting Trump’s immigration crackdown, during the last three weeks. I wanted so much to be able to tell you today that this effort, which was meant to intimidate Democrats across the country, failed in NJ-11. But the huge difference between the early vote, which we were winning comfortably, and the Election Day vote, suggests that it had a major effect. I met several voters in the final days of the campaign who had seen the ads and asked me, sincerely: “Are you MAGA? Are you for ICE?” I come away from this experience believing even more strongly that unlimited dark money poses a threat to our democracy — whether it’s being spent by AIPAC or by special interests like the cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence lobbies. These groups demand that members of Congress pledge 100% fealty to their unpopular positions or risk being destroyed by a massively funded deluge of personal attacks. Our Democratic Party must have the courage to stand up to these groups. We must remember that they need us — so that they can pretend to be bipartisan — much more than we need them. The American people will be with us if we do.

A person stands on a city sidewalk wearing a striking costume: their head is covered by a large, detailed, and realistic-looking papier-mâché eyeball mask with a blue iris and red veins, surrounded by red streamers. They are dressed in a velvet maroon jacket with ornate gold embroidery, a patterned vest, a white shirt, jeans, and black shoes. The background features a metal bench, a street with parked cars, and a red-brick building with several windows, along with autumn trees displaying yellow leaves.

SpongeBob SquarePants meme featuring Squidward and a blue fish in what appears to be the Krusty Krab restaurant. In the first panel, the fish asks, "what virtue is your pursuit;" Squidward looks tired and unimpressed. In the second panel, the fish confidently answers, "Hope." In the third panel, Squidward, looking downcast, asks, "When your plans crumble and death awaits, what good is hope then?" The fish, resolute, responds in the fourth panel, "It is everything. The only loss is giving up, all else is a draw with life." In the fifth panel, Squidward questions, "And for those who have? Those who are lost and without a path back?" In the sixth panel, the fish reassures, "There is always a path back, if only you hope."

A prospective convert asked Hillel to teach him the entire Torah while standing on to one foot. Hillel replied, "What is hateful to yourself, do not do to your fellow man. That is the whole of Torah and the remainder is but commentary. Go and study it." (Hillel: Shab. 31; emphasis added) Zigong Fasked: "Is there a single word that can serve as a guide to conduct throughout one's life?" Confucius said: "Perhaps the word 'shu', 'reciprocity': Do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you'." (Analecds. 15.24; see also Analects. 12 and Zhongyong. 13.3; emphasis added)

With respect to the training copies and the print-to-digital converted copies, this order hasdrawn all ambiguities and inferences in favor of the opposing side, namely Authors. Withrespect to the pirated copies, this order has also accepted the Authors’ version of the facts.Authors did not move for summary judgment but if they had, then we would have beenobligated to accept all reasonable views given the evidence in defendant’s favor instead.This order grants summary judgment for Anthropic that the training use was a fair use.And, it grants that the print-to-digital format change was a fair use for a different reason. But itdenies summary judgment for Anthropic that the pirated library copies must be treated astraining copies.We will have a trial on the pirated copies used to create Anthropic’s central library andthe resulting damages, actual or statutory (including for willfulness).

The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired labor. The freedmen are advised to remain quietly at their present homes and work for wages. They are informed that they will not be allowed to collect at military posts and that they will not be supported in idleness either there or elsewhere. By order of Major General Granger F.W. Emery, Major, A.A. Genera
This case presents an easy question: whether SB1's ban on certain medications, applicable only if used in a manner "inconsistent with ... sex," contains a sex classification. Because sex determines access to the covered medications, it clearly does. Yet the majority refuses to call a spade a spade. Instead, it obfuscates a sex classification that is plain on the face of this statute, all to avoid the mere possi- bility that a different court could strike down SB1, or cate- gorical healthcare bans like it. The Court's willingness to do so here does irrevocable damage to the Equal Protection Clause and invites legislatures to engage in discrimination by hiding blatant sex classifications in plain sight. It also authorizes, without second thought, untold harm to transgender children and the parents and families who love them. Because there is no constitutional justification for that result, I dissent.
The weapons of law enforcement today are so powerful that the citizen can hardly hope to escape arrest-an attempt usually leads to injury, and the citizen almost always gets the worse of it.
