Not a single international cargo ship at the Port of Seattle. The port is dead. The last ship from China will dock at a West coast port on the 29th, and the last Chinese ship will dock on the East coast around May 10th. After that, there will be no more shipments arriving from China. We’re screwed.

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach. Trump would sneer at this as woke and DEI and smash it if he could.

Exactly. And if he had committed a thousand crimes, it wouldn’t be a heavy lift to prove just one. But DHS and the White House offer nothing but conclusory bullshit.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Subpoenas must be issued immediately! If this takes more than a few hours or a day, this "breach of trust" will remain a nothingburger. IS ANYONE GOING TO DO SOMETHING TO STOP THIS WHOLESALE SELF PROSTITUTION FOR THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR? The longer the wait, the greater permission given!

No, you're not seeing double. We just filed YET ANOTHER Supreme Court brief in a second case that threatens our nation's secular public schools. With the Christian Nationalist movement hell-bent on destroying public education, it's up to all of us to save our schools. And we won't stop fighting.

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

Just finished reading "Patriot" the other day, the posthumously published memoir of Aleksei Navalny, the opposition leader killed in Putin's prison. Such a powerful account in the long tradition of gulag literature and a reminder of what Putin's Russia has become. Worth reading.

It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.

Just as Hitler rose from the ashes and grievances of World War I, it looks like Trump’s dream is to reduce the United States to rubble so that he can turn what’s left of our once great country into his base of aggressively expansionist operations in alliance with Vladimir Putin and a few oligarchs.

Ruth Marcus is the gold standard. She was one of the finest students I taught in 50 years at Harvard, a brilliant writer, a magnificent editor, and a good friend. I can barely imagine how painful this was for her. Jeff Bezos and Will Lewis are 100% to blame. A big middle finger to those 2 cowards.
