I know the reporters generally don’t write the headlines; when they’re this bad someone should come out and own it to take the heat off the reporter. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

This is one reason the Chairman's statutory term is designed to overlap presidential terms - to avoid the appearance that the Chairman is a political appointee like any other. They are never the president's generals, they are our generals.

Great live thread on the hearing in California’s lawsuit seeking to stop Trump’s deputization of the National Guard and deployment of Marines. The judge seemed skeptical of the DOJ’s legal arguments on the National Guard and skeptical of CA’s legal arguments as to the Marines.

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”. This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

My colleagues and I went to Speaker Johnson’s and Leader Thune’s offices just now to demand an investigation into the assault of @padilla.senate.gov. Let’s be clear: Republican leadership is complicit in enabling the growing authoritarianism in this country.

Update: In the CECOT class AEA case, Chief Judge Boasberg denies as moot DOJ's request for a stay pending appeal due to the DC Circuit's "administrative stay," which I covered here (www.lawdork.com/p/dc-circuit...). He also, as I did, notes DOJ's sketchy timing.

Governor JB Pritzker said to Rep. Mary Miller: "I am not going to be lectured to by somebody who extols the virtue of Hitler." Finally, someone says it to their faces.

Again, stunts are good. They are part of politics. They shape public opinion & the National Conversation™️ Bringing impeachment articles when you don't control either chamber of Congress & know you'll lose is a stunt. The point is not to win. It's to make the other side <react> & set The Narrative™️

The point isn't that it will work. Everyone knows it won't. Presidentialism was a grave mistake (bsky.app/profile/mcop...) for this very reason & we should scrap it. The point is for Democrats to signal to voters they understand the stakes & are doing everything they can to fight the fascism.
