The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

The fear among academics and lawyers now talking on the record on just about any topic that involves the federal government or the White House is really extraordinary and worrisome, and getting worse, it seems to me, every week. Dissent by an establishment figures becoming verboten in the US

We joined The Intercept in filing an amicus brief, authored by @kendraserra.bsky.social and @sellars.bsky.social, urging the court to strike down an executive order that threatens press freedom by imposing sanctions on the Perkins Coie law firm for representing Trump’s political opponents.

This is horrible. The target is a man who helped us know what was going on during Trump 1.0. This is the very definition of a dictatorship

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

My former postdoc @jinwookim.bsky.social shows how information can change beliefs but partisan hostility can undo and even reverse those effects - a fantastic paper that helps bridge conflicting findings in the research on these questions.

"The U.S. Government has no legal authority to snatch a person who is lawfully present in the U.S. off the street and remove him from the country without due process. The Government’s contention otherwise, and its argument that the federal courts are powerless to intervene, are unconscionable."
