@kateshaw.bsky.social was spectacular when addressing Senator Haul-@$$'s absolutely intolerable BS. That she kept her cool in the face of that is astounding. I second @leahlitman.bsky.social 's regard. This episode is absolutely worth a listen. castbox.fm/vb/817201930

Surreal day in Oklahoma City. Mere months after AG Gentner Drummond won big at SCOTUS—persuading the justices to vacate Richard Glossip’s conviction due to the lies of the state’s star witness—the AG now seeks a 3rd murder trial (despite having no new evidence). w/ @jordansmith.bsky.social

@lilianasegura.bsky.social and I were in court today where the OK AG's office made clear it is going to retry Richard Glossip for murder -- even though the AG has already said Glossip didn't murder anyone. Our latest here: theintercept.com/2025/06/09/r...

Trump has federalized at least 2,000 National Guard forces and reportedly plans to deploy troops to Los Angeles over Governor Newsom’s objections. If that happens, it will be the first time since 1965 that a president has sent troops into a state without a state request. 1/19

Don't miss that the President of the United States is saying he thinks the situation in LA is now under control with existing forces.⬇️ That means there's no legal or policy basis to actually federalize (read: politicize) the National Guard.

"We’re very clearly entering a moment of grave danger. My main thought about this is to remember – as we’ve said in other contexts – that the fight to preserve the American republic remains fundamentally one over public opinion."

With SCOTUS allowing DOGE access to sensitive social security information (while shielding DOGE from having to turn over its info), I'm ... feeling pretty good about some of the stuff I said on @thedailyshow.com (ca. 9:05): www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBFE... & for more: bookshop.org/p/books/lawl...
