An honor to meet Catherine. We should honor public servants like her, not vilify them like Trump and Musk have.

NEW: Trump’s first 100 days back in office have been filled with attacks on democracy and the rule of law. But we must not lose sight of the fact that it is the Republican Congress enabling his authoritarianism, @marcelias.bsky.social writes.

The NYT has been doing phenomenal reporting on the blatant corruption of the Trump memecoin/crypto policy. Genuinely the most flagrant, bald-faced thing I’ve ever seen short of a politician getting sacks of cash.

No attorney general should ever speak like this. She's Trump's advocate, not the people's lawyer, which is what the AG's job is. Whatever state she is barred in should start disciplinary proceedings immediately. This isn't subtle or arguable, it's wrong.

So, that new give Putin all he wants "peace" plan Rubio floated this week? It appears to be illegal under a 2022 American law Rubio himself helped pass. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Okay, then, so is it absurd for _me_ to say it? As an American citizen, author, lawyer, and historian who wrote a national bestseller this decade on the relationship between Mr. Trump, Russia, and Ukraine? Because I have no hesitation in saying that Trump and Vance are on the side of the Russians.

This analysis is accurate but tiptoes around the underlying realities of the president’s psychopathologies and other defects that drive the chaos. His ignorance, greed, narcissism and being a sociopath are shaping this moment in world history and threatening the well being of all of us.

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants. So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House. The hypocrisy is outrageous.

Published an op-ed for @cnn.com: “Nobel laureate: I owe America my success. Today, its scientific future is in danger.” A personal reflection on what’s at stake as science funding gets slashed. I’d be grateful if you could amplify both in and beyond the science world. www.cnn.com/2025/04/09/h...

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

“These are normal, everyday people who are saying I’ve had enough. I’ve seen institutions fall. I’ve seen universities, I’ve seen businesses, I’ve seen law firms not stand up, not support our liberal democracy. So what am I going to do as an individual?” “That’s what tomorrow is about.” - Ezra

Elon Musk is flying in paid canvassers from Texas to knock on doors in Wisconsin for Brad Schimel. Susan Crawford's supporters are knocking on doors in their own neighborhoods—like the terrific folks of the Teal Team on Madison's West Side. Let's keep knocking till the polls close on April 1!

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...
