Wow that’s broad. Incredibly broad. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they *knew* was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president

@msnbc.com reporter at the 1:15 mark. “The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.” #nokings

Terry Moran deserves to be fucking promoted

Republicans: we’re the party of small government. Also republicans: pwease ICE agents kitted out with tactical gear and tanks to assault my local Italian restaurant.🤗🤗🤗

Haven’t posted lately; felt pretty terrible, but the feud between Trump and Elon is extremely heartening

Asked about a Dem response to a Rep. Nadler aide being handcuffed by DHS agents inside his congressional office — @RepJeffries: “We will respond in a time, place, and manner of our choosing… it will be continuous and it will meet the moment.” BASH: “What does that mean?”

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

How bad will it be? Catastrophic. Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come. But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget. Speak up now before it is too late. (inflation adjusted $-s below)

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

President Stephen Miller

Pritzker calls for mass protests and disruption - “Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,” he says, swaying their portraits will one day be put in museums “reserved for tyrants and traitors”

Bukele is not behaving like he expects that the executive branch *could* change hands in the next 3 years or so.

Is Trump a mercantilist

One of the most shocking things I have read for a while: t.co/lg46ijHLDF

The Trump admin has just detained Mohsen Mahdawi, who: –has green card –was Columbia Buddhist club president –saw his best friend shot & killed by Israeli soldier –said "we are against antisemitism because antisemitism is a form of injustice, and injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

A reminder: the statute Rubio is relying on is a constitutional abomination from decades before relevant speech and due process norms developed. It might actually violate the nondelegation doctrine on the frankly generous assumption that Congress *has* power to unilaterally remove lawful residents.

…what happened in Germany?

In the past year, I’ve used public transit—trains—in NYC, New Jersey, Boston, and Chicago. I never felt unsafe.

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

Good news for China fans.

Jacky Robinson is an American Hero who represents the best of this country. He’s a fucking HOF’er who was full of grit and who, despite the odds stacked against him, never lost his humanity. This is bullshit.

In this post, I explain why Chief Justice Roberts was right to condemn Trump's calls to impeach judges who rule against him, and also respond to some dubious "whataboutism" on the subject, by my co-blogger and former student Josh Blackman: reason.com/volokh/2025/...

Lmao

This is really completely insane

No money for Senate Dems until @schumer.senate.gov resigns and new leadership is confirmed. New leadership cannot be any of the Dems that voted yes on cloture.

@espinsegall.bsky.social what happened to Supreme Myths? I’d love to see some new episodes drop!

The psychology of Marco Rubio will be studied for years. Absolutely humiliated, battered, and belittled by Trump to a point that became a subservient little toady. Like Theon Greyjoy’s conversion to Reek in Game of Thrones, Rubio’s psyche broke—forcing his total supplication to Trump.

@schumer.senate.gov Hey, look on the bright side, even if you’re now a pariah in your own party and loathed by constituents, you’ve found at least one person that likes you.

MANDATE PANTS "The idea that somehow Democrats have the responsibility to pass a CR where we don’t have any input is ridiculous. You run around bragging about this big mandate. Put on your mandate pants & pass whatever you want to do." (ppl sharing this w/o alt text - pls start using alt text!)

Persecution is at the heart of evangelical Christianity. I went to a private, evangelical school for most of my childhood. Here’s an image that was shared by a speaker during chapel when I was in elementary school:

Donald Trump put Nurgle in charge of HHS.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.
