More university leaders need to be doing exactly what Michael Roth of Wesleyan just did—going on national media outlets, defending higher ed, and pushing back against the administration’s attacks

Where can I sports bet on “first American national to face an ICC arrest warrant”? Rubio is probably the odds on favorite right now

Which ICC State Party is going to refer the situation in El Salvador (a State Party where the Court’s territorial jurisdiction applies)?

If liberal democracy survives here or in other places in the world, the pic of the GOP rep doing a thumbs up at the Salvadoran concentration camp is gonna end up being in lots of textbooks on mass atrocities

A university in a non-transphobic blue state or other Anglophone country could probably hire an entire interdisciplinary faculty of trans scholars for whom living in red states or TERF island is no longer safe or feasible

Taking the L on my prediction that Rubio would be the least worst Trump Cabinet appointee, he might be the actual worst

This is a start but, to be clear, still nowhere close to maximum obstruction. No UC, on anything. No unrecorded votes, on anything. No waiving rules, on anything. Fight even on adjournments. Quorum calls every time you can. Make every dilatory motion in the books and new ones you just made up.

Yep. Biden, wanting to Uphold the Norms, agreed to keep on a Trump-appointed prosecutor who was probing his son. Created a special counsel to probe his own post-VP document retention. Kept on Durham so he could finish a Trump-ordered probe of 2016. What did he get? Nothing. So here he goes.
