1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Well, it looks like Harvard’s pushback against Trump has fortified a vertebra or two within Columbia’s board of trustees. Here’s a note just sent by the acting university president to the Columbia community. She refers to “overly prescriptive requests” by the Trump gang.

Trump has diverted media attention from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to his fake "peace" process. In fact, American weakness enables Russian aggression as a new offensive looms. Useful corrective here. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

Interesting. Two of the grievances in the Declaration of Independence condemned the Crown for denying legal protection, especially imprisonment without cause. “For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury.” “For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offenses.”

A MORAL CRISIS “The rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored. If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.” Take 3 minutes. This is important.

If you wrote a story about a regime so comically evil that it literally snatches people from their citizenship interviews, you'd be accused of over-the-top imaginings.

For more than a month now Russia has rejected the US negotiated unconditional ceasefire across the frontlines that Ukraine has already agreed to. The Russians are wasting everyone's time and gleeful that Trump would be so stupid as to start a trade war against everyone in the world at the same time.

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night. So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

I’ve been reporting on health insurance denials for more than a year. Last fall, I stumbled across a lawsuit that, with interviews, revealed one insurers’ playbook of secret lists, special deals and lowball payments. 👇

New, from me: Marco Rubio used to boast that he was banned from China, calling it a totalitarian state. Now he combines a) new surveillance capabilities to monitor and punish international students, with b) little accountability or due process. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-attack...

Tired of hearing that this is a Wall Street problem, not a Main Street problem. Small businesses are panicked. Inflation is rising. Consumer confidence is tanking. Tourism is collapsing. Layoffs are next — all thanks to Trump’s tariffs. A crisis is unfolding on Main Street.

Feels like it should’ve been a bigger deal that the Arkansas voucher application program literally asked voucher users if they wanted “a different racial mix of students” Especially since it was @SarahHuckabee that came to push @GovBillLee’s scam

This is not Constitutional, not even a little bit, not by any reading of the document. But will the courts come to the rescue? Anyone who deserves to be on SCOTUS would trow this out, in any time in the last 50+ years. But can you really trust people like Brett Kavanaugh or Amy Coney Barrett?
