We win again! TRO granted in our VOA case -TN

BREAKING: We, @aclu.org and CLEAR are joining Rümeysa Öztürk’s legal team after ICE unlawfully arrested and detained her in retaliation for her political speech. Speaking out against a war, a policy, or a government is not a crime. The government must immediately release Ms. Öztürk.

Yup. *Everyone* in the military knows this. It is why Hegseth (at a minimum) must go. fallows.substack.com/p/simple-q-a...

This is important. More than 700 Harvard faculty, with diverse views, have now signed a letter urging the university administration to "publicly condemn attacks on universities," "legally contest and refuse to comply with unlawful demands that threaten academic freedom" and +

A few years ago I visited the National Museum of African American History & Culture with my grandparents. When we stepped out of the building my grandmother kept repeating the words “I lived it. I lived it. I lived it.” She’s still here. That history is still in her bones. You can never erase that.

“There is no reason why they’re being held,” the judge said. “If this was a criminal case. … I’d throw you out of my chambers.” www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Jenner & Block, truly one of the preeminent law firms in America today, sued the Department of Justice and essentially the entire Federal Government this morning in a devastating 64-page complaint,

Read Jenner & Block's lawsuit challenging Trump's unconstitutional assault on their firm.👇 Very glad to see Jenner fighting back. They're represented by Cooley, which is taking a risk here too. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Goldman's Q1 estimates in recent weeks have gone from 1.8% .. .. to 1.6% .. to 1.3% .. to 1.0% .. to 0.6%.

The Smithsonian is not overseen by the executive branch. Settled law. He doesn’t even appoint people. More lawsuits will follow.

I think there is going to be a Red Rural Recession and soon if all the cuts continue as is All the firings, cancelling of grants and contracts with companies , the closing of offices, disproportionately impact small towns, cities and states. Their finances will be turned upside

“sell your product at a loss, or else” was probably not what the business people were expecting from President Business

It took a lot of stupid to alienate Canada but we did it

Trump's executive order tonight has illegally cancelled union contracts for 67% of the federal workforce & 75% of unionized federal employees — roughly 700,000 union workers This may be the single biggest attack on the labor movement in American history

The Senate voted Thursday to strike down a rule capping most bank overdraft fees at $5, a measure adopted late last year by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that had been expected to save Americans billions of dollars per year.

Canadian travel to the US is absolutely cratering.

YouGov poll: 74% Americans — including 60% of Republicans — say the Trump admin's use of the Signal chat to discuss military strikes is a serious problem.

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

The situation at the NIH and for all biomedical and cancer cure research in the United States is MUCH MUCH WORSE than you realize.

We’re in the middle of spring tornado season

This is how it's done. A strong and principled response by WilmerHale to the illegal Executive Order attack - a form of attempted government intimidation declared unconstitutional by a federal judge. This is how to guard the rule of law.

Judge Susan Crawford to the packed room here in Appleton, Wisconsin: "Let me tell you about my opponent. Elon Musk."

“This is an Administration that does not have to slip on a Signal banana peel to reveal its deepest-held prejudices and its painful incapacities.” David Remnick writes about Signalgate—and the threat of autocracy that hides in plain sight.

This is a beautiful paragraph, and essay, from David Remnick in @newyorker.com www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Yesterday I broke the story of a young DOGE staffer’s past providing digital infrastructure to cybercriminals. Here’s a bit on how I ran the story down and how threat intel services like @domaintools.bsky.social and any.run can help. 🧵

This is painful, and saddening, and embarrassing. I feel like we're losing a member of the family - and for no good reason other than that some Americans wanted another season of the worst reality TV show in history.
