A lawyer in Melbourne, Australia has been referred by a federal circuit judge to the Office of the Victorian Legal Services Board and Commissioner after filing a summary of authorities that do not exist, which he prepared using Gen AI assistant Leap LawY.

Democrats’ dream of blocking a Republican governing trifecta is dwindling down to a handful of West Coast races, as California’s large cache of still-untallied ballots and its notoriously slow count now take center stage in the national political drama. The party had long seen the nation’s two blue bulwarks — New York and California — as the decisive staging ground for its quest to retake the House majority. In the Empire State, it flipped two GOP-held seats, a rare bright spot in an otherwise nightmarish election night for Democrats. But after Republicans ousted two Pennsylvania Democratic incumbents, the GOP appears...

Donald Trump is projected to win the state of Arizona, clinching a major battleground state, according to Decision Desk HQ. Arizona is one of seven swing states that held the key to whether Trump or Vice President Harris returned to the White House. The Grand Canyon State went for Trump in 2016 by 3.5 points, but the former president narrowly lost it in 2020 against President Biden by just over a quarter of a percentage point. Trump has secured the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House following a roughly 100-day campaign between him and Harris. With the...

Wow!

Pennsylvania's traditionally private Amish community registered to vote in 'unprecedented numbers' after government agents stormed a local farm early in the year. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture raided Amos Miller's farm on January 4, sparking outrage among the state's Amish population, a source familiar with the matter told The New York Post.

The raid by state officials came after reports of children falling ill from raw dairy products purchased at the farm in Bird in Hand, Pennsylvania. 'If you...

Steve Bannon told us he was feeling “empowered” after his release from prison last week. It’s quite obvious he means it. Hours after Donald Trump’s victory, the former Trump campaign official and self-described “political prisoner” went on an angry rant, during which he revealed what very well may be the first targets in Trump’s second term. “You stole the 2020 election.… This entire phony thing is getting swept out,” Bannon said. “Biden’s getting swept out. Kamala Harris is getting swept out. MSNBC is getting swept out. The Justice Department is getting swept out. The FBI is getting swept out. You...

I am a writer and poet, though not by trade. The following poem, in the comments below, is one of several I have written as a tribute to those who were never allowed to be born. It was prompted by the battle over Amendment 3 in Missouri and similar initiatives elsewhere. We lost on Amendment 3 yesterday, but I am not without hope, and I do not believe the final word on this issue has been spoken. My words are not eloquent, but I do hope they are poignant. Also, I hope I'm posting this correctly. This is a first...
