Mike Myers!

I’ve been suggesting on TV and podcasts—without actual evidence(!)—that it may turn out that DOJ will wind up not having enough lawyers to defend all the lawsuits challenging this administration’s illegal conduct. Turns out it seems already to be true. 👉

“A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.”

Tom Friedman: "This is a total perversion of U.S. foreign policy practiced by every president since World War I. My fellow Americans, we are in completely uncharted waters, led by a president, who — well, I cannot believe he is a Russian agent, but he sure plays one on TV.​"

The eyeliner got schooled by the minister. “In our democracy, every opinion has a voice. But democracy does not mean that the vociferous minority will automatically be right and they cannot decide what truth is. Democracy must be able to defend itself against extremists that try to destroy it.”

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case. Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

“the danger with unchecked power is that autocrats may not realize their policies are failing (because subordinates and lackeys don’t tell them), and there’s nobody in a position to stop them even if they do get told.” apple.news/AOSVidi4gTOy...

“Free speech”…or something.
