Just a reminder to law students—and especially 1Ls—I wrote a short and free guide for how to excel on law school exams. Download it here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…

On National Bison Day, we celebrate this majestic symbol of strength and resilience. The bison represents our rich American heritage and is one of the greatest conservation success stories of all time. 🦬

.@arthurbrooks nails it: faith, family, friends & meaningful work are 4 pillars of a happy life.
The data tell us:
✅ 0 pillars: 8% "very happy"
✅ All 4 pillars: 55% "very happy"
Marriage & work matter most. Money?
It barely registers, after you control for the pillars.
The happiest people I've met don't necessarily have the easiest lives or the most impressive accomplishments. But they tend to have four things in common:
-They take their faith or life philosophy seriously.
-They invest in their family relationships.
-They cultivate real friendships.
-They find meaning in work that creates value and serves others.
These are the four areas of life worth paying attention to if you want to live a more fulfilling life.

Who says Texas doesn't do fall colors?
Each fall, the maples in McKittrick Canyon at Guadalupe Mountains National Park turn brilliant shades of red, orange and gold, putting on a spectacular show against the rugged West Texas desert.

Harmeet Dhillon is a patriot, and conservatives owe her an enormous debt of gratitude.
She defended religious liberty when governments tried to shut down churches.
She fought for free speech and parental rights.
She took on the DEI industrial complex and racial discrimination.
She stood up against the scourge of antisemitism on college campuses.
And she fought to protect women's sports and our Second Amendment rights.
While others talked about defending our constitutional freedoms, Harmeet actually did the work.
That's principled conservatism. That's courage. That's patriotic service.
Thank you, @HarmeetKDhillon. America is better because of your service. 🇺🇸

I didn’t learn to use em dashes until law school. I’m used to doing it without spaces now, but I don’t think Elon’s suggestion is wrong. Some people do it with spaces too.

INBOX: Following her departure as Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the DOJ, @HarmeetKDhillon is returning to private practice as managing partner of Dhillon Law Group, the national litigation firm she founded in 2006.
Dhillon wasted no time outlining her next chapter, announcing two major national litigation initiatives focused on challenging unlawful DEI practices, corporate discrimination, financial institutions accused of ideological discrimination, and government censorship.
The initiatives signal an expansion of the firms litigation efforts into corporate accountability and First Amendment protections.
“I am returning to my private practice to do whatI have done my entire career, take on powerful institutions when they violate the law,” Dhillon said.
She added: “The First Amendment has been my passion for decades, and we are going to defend it aggressively.”

The personality type that showed up most frequently in our research on outlier founders wasn’t “leader” or “visionary”; it was “difficult”.
As students, most avoided the group work activities and were often the ones who didn’t raise their hand, but always had something smarter to say. When employed, they asked “why?” too many times and pissed off their bosses. In the wrong environment these people were marginalised or ignored entirely instead of being celebrated.
When they started their company, questioning everything became a huge advantage. In a big org they were annoying, but in a zero-to-one environment they cut out months of BS and wasted time.
We spend too much time looking for founders with charisma and commercial personalities, and not enough time looking for those who were kicked out of every system they tried to fit into.
The next wave of great founders probably wouldn’t be the ones you’d pick in a boardroom; they are the ones who’d refuse to show up to that meeting at all.
I wish @NathanForTexas the best as he takes on this important job.
One question he will have to answer is what steps should be taken to finally resolve the debt that is owed to the OAG whistleblowers who were wrongfully fired.
This is a tremendous honor, and a tremendous responsibility.
Texans voted for an attorney general who will represent them and the interests of our state, and who will above all uphold the rule of law. That’s what I intend to do.
I’ve got a lot of work ahead of me. But I look forward to what we will accomplish.
We prevailed in the Southern District of Texas, the Fifth Circuit (panel and en banc), Travis County, and the Texas Supreme Court. A member of Senator @NathanForTexas’s staff came to watch our court hearing in Travis County.
You have always been preparing policy ideas for bipartisan governance. Good work my friend.
Proud of the work @Texas2036 has done to prepare our state for the future. Read more below about how policymakers can turn election promises into concrete actions. And, if you don't already, give @jordannwat a follow.

I once visited the Texas State Cemetery and did not know who any of the judges from before 2008 were.
I held office for 2 years, but I still see myself as a guy at H-E-B.

New: James Sullivan of Texas Supreme Court interviewed for a federal district court bench on Oct. 14 - days before early voting started, @jacq_thomsen says.
He lost race to keep his bench.
White House now nominating Sully for bench in Austin. #txlege
