Armed vigilantes, denaturalization proceedings, and the use of state power to promote herrenvolk democracy have all happened before in American history. But there is something novel and frankly un-American in the way this government is recombining and deploying them now.

Congressman @danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co as one of your constituents I’m extremely disappointed by your statement. I’m a Jewish New Yorker. I do not feel unsafe in the city, nor do most of the Jewish New Yorkers I know, contrary to the premise of your statement. You are fear mongering. (1/4)

I was literally making both of these arguments — much less eloquently! — to a friend at lunch just a couple hours ago. Totally agree with everything @sbagen.bsky.social says below. One additional issue, flagged by @david.noll.org: there is a suggestion that this rule doesn’t apply to SCOTUS. (1/2)

As someone who has been on the business end of nationwide injunctions that I thought were improper, I find the question of what rules we should adopt for them to be genuinely hard. But yesterday's decision deserves massive criticism, for at least two reasons. (Thread.)

(1) Does this mean that any state with an island is now exempt? (2) Not that we needed more evidence that the US is moving away from a rule of law culture, but this BS is an insult to the generality of the law, which is a safeguard of republican liberty.

Honestly, this is my #1 objection to yesterday’s decision. SCOTUS had many, many opportunities to curb universal injunctions against the Biden administration. For four years, it refused. Then, almost as soon as Trump returned to office, it changed the rules to take away universal injunctions. Why?

Ryan’s shameful ouster is on all of them, for sure, but don’t sleep on AG Jason Miyares. UVA’s GC works for him, not the President; our GC is technically a “Senior AAG.” It’s tough for UVA to fight Trump with two hands tied behind our back. (Something to consider this Nov. if you vote in VA.)

SG Prelogar also teed up the constitutionality of universal injunctions when NDTX was enjoining Biden left and right, and SCOTUS passed.

Near the end of the Biden years, Elizabeth Prelogar asked the Supreme Court to rein in nationwide injunctions in a low-stakes case where a Republican judge/Fifth Circuit blocked an act of Congress from applying to anyone anywhere. They declined and took up Trump’s patently illegal order instead.

Shame on the Trump Administration. Shame on the UVA trustees. And shame on the GOP. This is a horrible precedent to establish. It will haunt us all — classical liberals and true champions of free speech most of all.

The Trump administration just established a precedent that they can pick and choose who leads higher Ed institutions. An authoritarian government deepens its reach into higher education. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/u...

Apparently Trump’s US Attorney for NDNY doesn’t live in the district, in violation of the law, lied about it, and consorts with a convicted fraudster. And the @timesunion.com remains the best in the business of the New York print dailies. www.timesunion.com/capitol/arti...

A South African colleague argued that the US is in “state capture” by the GOP. Reading today’s SCOTUS opinions, that feels right. These rulings illustrate and advance the capture of government by and for a fundamentally illiberal project. They can be undone, but not without ending capture first.

Super-quick take while reading the ruling: This is going to be a much bigger deal for challenges to other Trump policies than to birthright citizenship (where it's likely that lower courts will still be able to block the policy on a nationwide basis even after this ruling). That's the import.

If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until now to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

It’s telling how the Christian right’s role in getting Skrmetti to SCOTUS is being erased—and by those seemingly desperate to blame trans people for asking for “too much.” So I spoke with legal historian @kredburn.bsky.social and ACLU attorney @chasestrangio.bsky.social, who argued the case:

Most of the ideas mentioned in this article—higher minimum wage, free tuition at public colleges, higher taxes on the rich—are not only popular now but were realities in the past, including in NYC, during the booming postwar years, when America was “great.”/1 www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/u...

I’m kidding honestly I love tourists and anyone who wants to come to the United States so badly they are willing to risk being disappeared at the border by our mad King is halfway a patriot. Just remember that in New York we make eye contact at the coffee shop but not on the street or subway.

No, no, not Fox News explaining to people that Zohran is dangerous because he wants the government to make parenting affordable and the billionaires rallying to Adams to stop him. Yes you heard me the billionaires don’t like him so they’re backing Adams. That’s right. How terrible!

Credit for Zohran’s win has to go to him and his volunteers. But kudos too to Tish James and Brad Lander. James showed real political courage in backing ZM. And Brad did something almost unheard of: pivoted to partner and booster. Just a model of political virtue. It’s a bright dawn in NYC.

James: His critics said that he should wait his turn. His critics said that he did not have the experience. His critics said they did not have the right name. Well, now all of them know his god damn name.
