In a world of Jake Tappers, be a Scott Pelley. Two journalists. One stood up for freedoms at his own personal expense. The other is seeking to profit off making Trump happy. My new article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/in-a-world...

Academia in 2025: For weeks I’ve been working through botched copy-edits of my monograph, outsourced by the publisher to a company I’d never heard of, until it finally dawned on me the terrible job might be AI. A quick search confirmed the company recently launched new AI software, which now means..

Phang: It’s time for federal judges to acknowledge that they have lifetime appointments—and that should give them the courage to uphold the rule of law, but also to put some damn teeth into the court orders they’re issuing. it’s time that we start seeing action from the judiciary. Grow some balls

Hidden deep in 1,000+ pages of Medicaid & SNAP cuts, House Republicans included a tiny paragraph in their budget bill that has horrific consequences. If passed into law, this ONE paragraph would RESTRICT a court's ability to hold the admin in contempt if they don't follow its rulings. ⬇️

Few lawyers are willing to speak publicly about President Trump’s actions against law firms. Fear is rippling through Washington. But, despite being a target, Marc Elias is still talking. Scott Pelley sits down with him tonight on 60 Minutes.

I can't believe *this* is the smug little dipshit who just walked into several federal agencies and was immediately given access to whatever he wanted despite having no actual authority to do anything. This guy intimidated people? Seriously?

RFK Jr. ordered the NIH’s Integrated Research Facility in Frederick to stop all research on serious infectious diseases yesterday at 5:00 PM. They study pathogens like Ebola there. You may be familiar with it from The Hot Zone. www.wired.com/story/hhs-ni...

Vaccines do not contain any fetal tissue or cells, nor do they contain any cells derived from fetal materials.

I went to the Senate floor to tell a story about Trump’s first 100 days - a story of daily, norm shattering corruption. I laid out 40 different corrupt acts - each one alone could have taken down previous presidents. 1/ A 🧵 of my speech. People need to know this story.
