Had the privilege of speaking to @audiecornish.bsky.social on @cnn this morning about my @lawfare article about Abrego Garcia. app.frame.io/reviews/beb4...

And many are outright geniuses, and engage in more productive activity in an hour than RFK Jr. will in his entire life.

Once you’ve agreed to crawl, he will make you keep crawling. Maybe stand up, brush off the dirt on you, and say enough is enough? Just a thought, for you supposed officers of the court.

Ed Martin’s appearances on Russian state television should end his nomination to be a U.S. attorney. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Today on the podcast, I talk with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social

Yeah who was the idiot who appointed Powell?

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro says he hasn't heard from Trump since the arson incident at the governor's mansion.

Goldman on Trump threatening to deport Americans to a gulag in El Salvador: "This is the stuff of dictators ... Republicans in Congress have completely acceded to his wishes and turned over all of their own authority to Donald Trump. There is no check and no balance from Congress."

Ben Wittes, Roger Parloff, Quinta Jurecic, & Anna Bower, I would be glad to make a “Champion” contribution toward the $15,000 match by your generous donor. Lawfare is literally indispensable in these historic times in which we live.

It has been genuinely moving — moved me to tears, actually — to see so much support for our work at @lawfaremedia.org. Since yesterday, 3 additional donors have agreed to match contributions up to 5K each — thank you @judgeluttig.bsky.social for helping us get there! givebutter.com/journalism/a...

Free link to crazy WSJ story about Musk and his “harem drama.” Can’t do it justice with the four-screenshot limit! www.wsj.com/politics/elo...

“The White House did not respond to a request for comment.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

The administration’s lies about this case are insane.

I agree. Slo-mo, ongoing, with an administration engaged in frog-boiling

Where we are as a country

They should be more concerned

Conservatives think free speech is when they can say what they want and when you can say what they want. bsky.app/profile/jonm...

Eighty-five days in, and we’ve officially entered Phase Two of the second Trump presidency. Here’s what that means, by @dgraham.bsky.social: www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

That bombshell Wall Street Journal piece on Elon Musk’s creepy “legion” of children and his bizarre procreation fetish is the strongest sign yet that the White House is trying to get rid of him.

🤣😂🤣😂

The projection is off the charts here

Folding 27 NIH institutes and centers down into *8*, which is even worse than the rumored plan for 15, is catastrophic for American biomedical research. Completely insane.

Please watch and share. It can be easy to get a little lost in the details, but the ENTIRE THING they're doing is absolutely built on a foundation of lies and flagrantly illegal.

Folks in Moorhead don’t want their public schools defunded, their heath care stripped, or our veterans left behind. I joined our partners in the legislature for a town hall today to let Minnesotans know how we’re standing up to the Trump Adminstration.

No biggie. This man is temporarily in charge of, and Trump wants to put him permanently in charge of, one of the two United States Attorney’s offices that handle the most national-security matters. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

He kept it off his Senate questionnaire. That would be a disqualifying factor, even for an otherwise qualified and respected candidate, of which he is the opposite. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Wow it’s almost as if this was an entirely predictable outcome, you fools

JUST IN: Judge Boasberg finds probable cause to hold administration in contempt of court for defying his order to turn around planes, demands new details in order for officials to “purge” their contempt. Details TK

Pam Bondi is a liar, propagandist and criminal accomplice. Kilmar Abrego Garcia never received a court hearing and due process. Pam Bondi is an eternal stain on the Justice Department and justice itself.

Karoline Leavitt is a liar, propagandist & accomplice to a criminal regime. “There is never going to be a world in which [Kilmar Abrego Garcia] is going to live a peaceful life in MD because he is a foreign terrorist & MS-13 gang member,” she said w/o evidence about a man who's committed no crime.

“We will see a thousand Flints throughout our nation if we continue these austerity-driven measures,” says Dr. Mona Hanna, pediatrician and public health researcher who helped expose the Flint lead crisis www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Most administrations have high win rates in court for actions involving federal agencies — close to 70% before Trump’s first term in office. By contrast, since Trump took office in January, the government is winning only about 30% of cases. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/b...

Second episode of the David Frum Show with guest Ontario premier Doug Ford is live. I talk in the opening about Trump's favorite expression, "who has the cards." In trade war, it's Trump who doesn't have the cards. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQ7I...

What's the evidence linking Abrego Garcia to MS-13? This exhaustive @rparloff.bsky.social review finds that the whole thing boils down to a vague, unexamined police statement that he "was confirmed to be a ranking member of the MS-13 gang by a proven and reliable source.” It's shockingly flimsy.
