Judge Luttig chooses very carefully and importantly what he pipes up about.

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

The leader of the autocratic world is Truthin’ through it!

Smart good faith lawyers, scholars, and journalists. 95% of why I’m here.

Markets down in general, but gulag construction futures up.

Utah. Wow.

This is extremely good messaging.

You know, I don’t think too many people know more about economics than me. Very few. And I probably know more about the stock market than anybody. Ever. I really get it. But it’s been very bad to us lately. Very unfair. So, I’m thinking tariffs. On the stock market. Never been done. So we’ll see.

Beautiful.

Thank you, Dr. Fisman, @dfisman.bsky.social , for your valued guidance to me and my family during early COVID. I'm glad you're getting this entirely unsurprising but entirely disturbing story out there now. (Off topic but: I have a folder somewhere on my desktop just for your COVID-era memes).

It’s good for the rule of law ) not to mention public health) that these cases, as they wend their way to final determinations, are determined like this.

Keep sharing this because it is vital to understanding this moment. The timing of his entry into politics after this trip, the one position he’s held firm on (at odds with past presidents of both political parties) and the unraveling of the post-WW II world order. www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

The April 2 tariffs on Canadian imports will suck up a lot of oxygen, in the media and around kitchen tables, for good reason. But what I've just reposted from the U.S. is an out-of-control wildfire that is burning up the rule of law, right before our eyes. Don't let it spread to Canada.

Same language he used in the meeting with Zelenskyy. Canada is in grave danger, and everything we do has to be filtered through that reality.

For any of the 77M Americans (or those who couldn’t be bothered to vote) if you didn’t see this coming, I continue to question your overall awareness of your surroundings. This is what GOP budgets have done for 60 years, at least.

The Chinese government is his most important business partner.
