Was just talking with a group of scholars about all the primary sources and reports that have been disappearing along with the research and teaching losses associated already -- USAID, USIP, Wilson Center, White House transcripts and older files, speeches, reports ... with much more imperiled🗃️

This is insane. Prior to COVID emerging, avian influenza was the top pick of infectious disease specialists/epidemiologists as the pathogen most likely to emerge as the next pandemic. It's still at the top of the list. We need better flu vaccines (and better uptake of the ones we have). Insane

Here’s the often overlooked reason Trump’s attacks on Harvard and others he singles out by name — including specific law firms, charitable organizations, radio and TV networks, and individuals — are flatly unconstitutional: they violate Article I’s absolute ban on Bills of Attainder: f.io/RnNoLD5I

Not enough attention is given to how Republicans got us into this mess, we only focus on DJT. The R’s confirmed every one of these foxes to guard each henhouse. This Cabinet is Steven Miller’s wet dream.

ICE attorneys requested that immigration judges close cases of some people who had been in the U.S. for less than two years and who had shown up without a lawyer. Then, ICE officers waited outside courtrooms to arrest those people and put them into expedited proceedings that do not require a judge.

Stop the @bsky.app bashing. We’re all under a tremendous strain. We’re not perfect. I block when I need to, but ignore most foolishness. Don’t become goaded into leaving a platform that’s doing almost all the right things. To organize for 2026, we need to stay in communication w/each other.

New in PN: Law for lawlessness "In a brisk 4 paragraphs, the Court’s six GOP justices all but demolished the legal basis for the independent agencies. The decision highlights the lawlessness of the Court and is likely to further embolden a president who is very keen to place himself above the law."
