So, liberal parents who can ground their beliefs in religion (many do) can opt out of: - abstinence only education - Baby Olivia videos - reading Ayn Rand - any class that talks about Donald Trump or this Supreme Court This is going to be fun. (And by "fun" I mean "utter and complete nonsense").

“No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates.” –Justice Sonia Sotomayor. One of the most chilling sentences I have ever read.

This! ⬇️ 1000 times this!

Maybe we shouldn’t be nominating people to be federal judges if there are still outstanding criminal contempt proceedings about their conduct? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/u...

This is horrible and I sorta feel for the guy. But the fact that he could say that so easily makes me wonder how he talks to his female staff.

He can't even answer the question. This is fucking scary. Thank you @slotkin.senate.gov for raising this. I hope your colleagues do something about this.

Adriana Smith did not give birth to a baby. She was used as an incubator, cut open, and a baby was taken out of her lifeless body. A Black woman was used as a science experiment.

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine. If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

BREAKING: The American Bar Association has sued the Trump administration on behalf of its members to put an end to Donald Trump's law firm intimidation project, calling Trump's efforts "unprecedented and uniquely dangerous to the rule of law." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is what you voted for @slotkin.senate.gov ! You damn well knew who she was and her intentions and YOU voted for her. Not the first time during this regime you've brought great disgrace to my wonderful State of Michigan. Stand up NOW & DEMAND her immediate resignation!

URGENT: Call your Congressperson. Ask them to vote NO on the rescissions package that would claw back already approved public media funding. The vote is likely to take place today. Public media is a vital resource to our nation and local communities. Check out this resource for tips for the call.

Counterpoint: Robert E. Lee was a treasonous loser who gladly slaughtered his fellow Americans in defense of slavery while being a mildly above average military tactician. He should’ve been hanged in Lexington.

Impeachment articles on this alone should be submitted overnight. California should refuse cooperating with the federal government on anything. The legislature should pass a broad anti-commandeering law. And every governor worth their salt should fly to California and pledge mutual assistance.

If you work at a public university, your emails are likely FOIA-able. If you mix your personal & work email accounts, it may make your personal email FOIA-able.

Your regular reminder that the entire global economy is subject to the whipsaw whims of a person who doesn’t understand how the global economy works

Y’all may want to check to see if you are following Jake Tapper @jaketapper.bsky.social here on Bluesky and if you are then unfollow him. He has 291,000 too many followers. Then pass it on.

I am currently reporting on/looking to talk with: * Anyone left in DOJ Civil Rights who wants to talk with me * LOC/Copyright/CRS employees on how this week has been/where it's ending * GAO employees (asap on this one) * CBO employees Please reach out via Signal from a non-work phone: crg.32

I need this on a t-shirt. @strictscrutiny.bsky.social

😳‼️⚠️ WTAF!

This is so important, and so hard for some students. I say it a lot, but often the ones who need help the most are the least likely to ask for it.

The Suspension Clause: 1) Doesn't allow the President to unilaterally suspend habeas, especially when Congress is in session; 2) Applies only to cases of invasion or rebellion (this is quite clearly neither); and 3) *Even then,* applies only "when the public safety may require it." (It doesn't.)

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes. We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Randy Barnett, Ilan Wurman, and Kurt Lash are doing the work to give courts cover to allow this. Shame on them.

These charges are so stupid. There was an ICE agent **in the elevator** with the defendant after he left the courtroom. But oh yeah, the state judge somehow obstructed ICE because she let the defendant leave the courtroom through a side entrance. The Trump DOJ is run by morons and thugs.

States need to return the favor. Arrest ICE agents for kidnapping under state law. It’s time to run the northern abolitionist playbook.

History is a real field with real practices and real skill. There's a reason people spend years and years in grad school learning how to do it well. Law profs with no formal training, publishing in journals without peer review, should be ESPECIALLY cautious. Yet so often we see the opposite.

I have spent the week with someone who has dementia and let me tell you it is an ironclad argument for the power of music, especially popular song. Go listen to your favorite songs. Learn the words. Sing along. They will keep you company to the very end.

My god. He’s gone after the Civil Rights Act!!!! www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

OMG! This would be so bad.

If you know what is going on with Sam Alito’s dissent or what happened at SCOTUS last night, please reach out to me from a non-work phone on Signal: crg.32

Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the *official* account of the *White House* - is it being run by a six year old?

You guys Elon Musk appointed the head of the IRS and President Trump didn’t even know about it.

This is horrifying.

I am of the firm belief that law professors should not publish op eps on important legal issues until AFTER they’ve done the hard work required to produce a publishable article on a topic. The op ed is only getting published because the status of the prof is an implicit claim to expertise.

"I will no longer be able to continue teaching." Hyeongseon Jeon, an assistant professor at the University of Houston, said he had his foreign visa unexpectedly terminated and now must return to Korea immediately. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

Every American should know that the Chamber of Commerce and American Bankers Association literally teamed up with the Trump administration on Monday to end the CFPB rule limiting big credit card providers to an $8 late fee. Today, in light of the agreement, the rule was vacated.

The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

Deported is not the proper term. It would be nice if the media, when talking about the illegal sh*t that this president is doing, would describe it correctly.

Never Forget…..

RELEASE HER!

This!💯⬇️

BREAKING: Harvard AAUP & the nat'l AAUP have jointly filed a lawsuit & TRO to block the Trump admin from demanding that Harvard restrict speech & undermine academic freedom or else lose $8.7 billion in federal funds. This action challenges the Trump admin's misuse of funds for coercion. Stay tuned.

BREAKING: Last night, the Harvard faculty chapter of the AAUP and the national AAUP filed a lawsuit & TRO to block the Trump administration from illegally demanding that we keep quiet and change how we teach and research at the point of a financial gun. actionnetwork.org/user_files/u...

Constitutionally, impeachment is easier than overriding a veto. Just pointing that out.

Not sure who needs to hear this but one cannot “deport” a citizen. Thank you.

Leavitt confirmed that the WH is working on deporting US citizens to El Salvador

#BREAKING: 5-4 Court, with Barrett joining the three Dem. appointees in dissent *vacates* Chief Judge Boasberg’s temporary restraining orders in the Alien Enemy Act cases. Judicial review must be available, Court holds, but has to come through habeas petitions: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
