A great thread that may help explain why the three liberals didn't join with Gorsuch and Thomas. This case was NOT litigated by the tribe itself, but by the Becket Fund—a conservative group that regularly argues for Christian supremacy and clearly saw this dispute as a vehicle for its broader aims.

Recent leaks have undermined the kinds of lies that the drafters of the Constitution intended journalists to expose when they wrote the First Amendment’s press clause. That’s exactly why journalist-source confidentiality needs protecting.

Around D.C., the new going rate is well-known: $5 million for a one-on-one dinner with Trump, but gov-affairs execs have “no clue where the money is eventually going,” one said. Another told me it’s “outer-borough Mafia sh*t.” My new piece is out @newyorker.com www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

“Most of that grant money is appropriated by Congress for the National Institutes of Health to disburse to fund biomedical research after a lengthy application process by individual scientists, work that is not typically done at trade schools…” www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

The House GOP snuck a provision into the budget bill that would strip away any consequences for officials who defy a judge’s ruling. It’s yet another attack on what @judgeluttig.bsky.social says is “the last obstacle to a president with designs on tyrannical rule.” Luttig joins @ 11aET #Velshi

Anyone collating a book of his gaffs? Will be a bestseller!

NEW @npr.org: A lawsuit filed Thursday says the USDA's demand for sensitive data about millions of SNAP recipients violates federal privacy laws. Meanwhile, some states are preparing to comply with the unprecedented request. With @jjoffeblock.bsky.social

"This is really not that functionally different than if those guests showed up with satchels of cash or briefcases with stacks of bill and then just dumped it all into a big bucket physically held by the President of the United States," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on Trump's crypto dinner.

This, by @jvl.bsky.social is very very good open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts. Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

If a major American airport had basically stopped functioning when Joe Biden was president, every elected Republican would be blanketing cable news screaming for Pete Buttigieg’s resignation. Where is the outrage for Trump & Duffy?

Amen
