Diverse interests - not saying too much for now, I'm mainly going to quietly watch and learn and get a feel for this place. I like what I see so far.

Harvard has far superior values and frankly a hell of a lot more spine than Musk, Zuck, Besos and Thiel could cobble together between them.

Would men need to provide a marriage certificate to vote? No? Just women? Got it.

Market manipulation is a CRIME. It's securities fraud. It undermines the integrity of financial markets. Call it pump-and-dump, insider trading, whatever you like. His immunity does NOT APPLY to criminal activity. And anyone in Congress that traded, can and should be prosecuted.

If Kristi Noem can go down to El Salvador and take concentration camp selfies, then DOJ can figure out where Abrego Garcia is. Just start jailing people for contempt of court until they find out.

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

Spotted at Columbia

In a firmly paywalled subscribers-only article, CNN reports Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, voted in Hawaii last year after signing a sworn declaration of Texas residency and claiming a homestead exemption in that state. www.cnn.com/2025/04/09/p...

"What the U.S. is doing now is not reform. It is rejecting the very system it created." - Singapore's Prime Minister Lawrence Wong (April 8, 2025)

What a duo of tweets.

THIS IS BULLSHIT! THROW THESE FASCIST BASTARDS IN PRISON NOW!

This is what they're doing to Dr. Badar Khan Suri. This is not my America, and the world is aghast.

Do clients really want to hire a law firm known for how quickly it rolls over? Yet, now this is Paul Weiss's well deserved reputation.

NEW: Yesterday, the Justice Department sent armed marshals to warn former U.S. pardon attorney Liz Oyer not to disclose internal DOJ information during her Senate testimony. Today, Oyer is speaking out to condemn the DOJ’s actions and defend the rule of law.

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie. America, people. Freedom and stuff.

NEW: The Supreme Court took 6 months to decide immunity, but just 6 days to effectively strip the rest of us of due process. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-corrup...

Just a legal historian here reminding everyone that “high crimes and misdemeanors” do not need to be felonies. They can include political abuses and stupidity, like, hypothetically, destroying the economy and wiping out people’s savings in 3 days.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

Well this seems like a fantastic plan. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/h...

This fucking guy wants to focus on topics he is actually an expert on after soiling himself with all manner of nonsensical tantrum posts about areas about which he’s ignorant only because his self interest is now threatened.

All I’m saying is that President Harris wouldn’t have us looking at the futures market on a Sunday night.

CLEVELAND TODAY. Where Republicans held their 2016 convention, when Trump (with Manafort) got his 1st win for Putin: a change to the Republican platform, weakening support for Ukraine. For most, it seemed a small & irrelevant change, but it was a pivotal early step that progressed to Putin invading.

The president’s son Eric Trump posted this. Chilling. He deleted it - but here it is

Hey, remember 2 months ago when the USA had the best economy in the world?

Their enemies will be reading Sun Tzu while they'll be looking at comic books.

Everyone who voted for him, who voted 3rd party or who didn't vote at all helped this happen. I'm squinting hard at White Women. Trump is such a threat that the French government is sending out a 20-page instruction manual to help every French household be prepared in the event of war breaking out.

It took less than ten weeks youtu.be/iYI2cgkdSFk

It’s a fire sale…

Very accurate...

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss: 1. 1929 (the Great Depression) 2. 1987 (Black Monday) 3. 2008 (the Great Recession) 4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.

There are 32m small businesses in the USA

Kudos to the law firm Arnold & Porter. It is the largest law firm that is not either itself target by Trump or representing a firm targeted by Trump to sign the amicus brief in support of Perkins Coie. Put another way, A&P has no direct financial interest in the outcome of the case and yet signed.

A true heater 48 hours for The Onion, in my unbiased opinion.

Don't let up on Signalgate. The Mueller report cited rampant use of Signal as a means of obstruction of justice. The entire discussion is fait accompli. Also guarantee it is how everyone inside this thug WH communicates. Which means the law is being knowingly & deliberately violated every day.

Welcome

Morning America. Today’s front pages. So much winning.

Kamala's warnings were spot on, as were Hillary Clinton's warnings. Poorly educated people, nasty racists & misogynists, & greedy rich people are all slow learners, it seems. Apparently all the bad stuff will only be damaging to other people, while they skate on past getting richer by the minute.

These aren't tariffs. They are a horse's head in the bed of (almost) every world government and business leader.
