Who could have guessed that the former leader of the Proud Boys—convicted of sedition because of January 6th—would, after Trump pardoned him, start to harass the hero cops of January 6th? Who could ever have guessed it? (This went down at the Principles First conference in D.C.)

hey @mattyglesias.bsky.social, the piece that you link to here — my piece — does not say that “all DEI critics want to reimpose segregation” and i would appreciate it if you didn’t lie to your audience about what my work says.

The Trump administration is now bringing the postwar era to an end. No one should be surprised: this is what they said they would do. America's European and Asian allies need to adjust, quickly. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Jeffries: "They have no interest in improving the quality of life of hard-working American taxpayers. Instead, what they're trying to do, while they distract people, is to jam the GOP tax scam down the throats of people ... it's a toxic bait and switch."

The bad faith from Barnett & Wurman (in denying birthright citizenship) is revealed again by how they casually toss out distractions like admiralty law without grappling with the substance therein. They know the details don't support them, but they hope it's enough smoke to look like a fire.

A few of us are cooking something about the birthright citizenship mess, so I will keep my powder mostly dry until then. I know there are a lot of folks in my mentions who want law professors to push back, so I think y'all should know we're writing!

Anytime a storm is brewing, your local forecasters are getting the latest data from NOAA. As the agency faces an uncertain future, one thing's for sure: for-profit companies would struggle to replicate NOAA's weather-forecasting prowess.

Holy Shit. They're burning through people pretty fast now. After Sassoon refused/resigned, the next two people - heads of Public Integrity Section (DC) and the Criminal Division also refused/resigned. This all JUST happened. And these are all 'actings', so they're people the Trump crew chose.

Just to underscore the tension at DOJ at the moment, here's what one federal law enforcement official told me about the acting deputy attorney general: "I, along with other career FBI and DOJ personnel that I’ve spoken with, really have one message for him and that is, “go fuck yourself, traitor.'"

1st Circuit Court of appeals just denied the MAGA regime’s emergency motion to block a lower court order that ordered unfreezing of federal funds. Another Judge ordered HHS, CDC and the FDA to restore deleted webpages with health information. Two defeats for the orange felon.

Once again, I am here from Poland to tell you that predicating your response to a rule of law crisis on fear of how your opponents will frame your resistance is as ineffectual as it is solipsistic.

This whole thread - but also, and despite my own deep cynicism, I have still been surprised by all the powerful institutions complying in advance. My uni is striking all mentions of diversity. The last 18mos has shown admins are generally unwilling to stand for academic freedom with their faculty.

Judges, I am begging you to understand before it's too late: they will not obey judicial orders. Order them to appear in court and arrest them when they lie to you, or else they are gonna wipe their ass with your orders.

NEW — I spoke to a staffer at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) about DOJ's threat to pull funding if the org didn't comply with Trump's DEI executive order, and how org leadership rolled over. "Rather than fight back, we chose to sacrifice trans children," they said.
