I just don't understand how these firms—full of lawyers from the most prestigious law schools in the country—couldn't see that nothing they concede to the administration will ever be enough. Trump will always want more.

So I guess the firebombing and attempted murder of a Jewish governor will probably vanish from memory since the right can’t make anything of it bc they hate Shapiro and the left can’t make anything of it bc the dude was pro Palestine. Antisemitism sucks and it’s not a fun cudgel to use for politics

The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships. The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

One thing I missed that Jess draws attention to is that the court very explicitly refers to pregnancy--that is, to gestational capacity--as the measure of womanhood, in order to exclude trans women from the category. Well. What else is there to say? There you go. Now we all know what a woman is.

In a blistering ruling, a federal judge blocks a new executive order from President Trump punishing a prominent law firm that successfully sued Fox News for promoting false claims of election fraud. “The framers of our Constitution would see this as a shocking abuse of power,” the judge says.

NEW: Judge finds "probable cause" the Trump admin is in contempt over March 15 flights. In Chief Judge James Boasberg's opinion in the Alien Enemies Act case, his next steps include possible prosecution of Trump officials by a court-appointed attorney. Today’s report at Law Dork:

Judge Boasberg’s opinion in JGG v. Trump (4/16/25) is a masterpiece of judicial reasoning. He explains exactly why our legal system couldn’t survive tolerating willful defiance of clear judicial orders — even if those orders are ultimately overturned on appeal. The Supreme Court will have to agree.

I cannot emphasize enough how American companies and markets cannot function if they think exec orders are being issued solely to allow trading in POTUS's separately managed investment accounts This is the core justification for banning insider trades - corporate CEOs will manipulate announcements

Steve Kerr: "I believe in academic freedom. I think it's crucial for all of our institutions to be able to handle their own business the way they want to. And they should not be shaken down and told what to teach, what to say, by our government. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard."

Van Hollen says that he asked the VP of El Salvador why his government continues to hold Abrego Garcia even though he’s not charged with any crime and there’s no evidence that he’s MS-13. “His answer was that the Trump administration is paying the government of El Salvador to keep him at CECOT”

Can we now dispense with the ridiculous idea that Trump gives a shit about antisemitism? And that "eradicating antisemitism" is what motivates his effort to destroy US universities? He is using "antisemitism" as a cudgel to destroy the US and the American Jewish community.
