BREAKING: Jasmine Crockett has made it official that she's running to be the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee following Rep. Connolly's announcement that he'll be stepping down. This is Donald Trump’s worst nightmare.

Must be a painful weekend to be a litigator at Paul Weiss or the other firms that caved. "When lawyers are apprehensive about retribution for simply filing a brief adverse to the government, there is no other choice but to do so."

One of the arguments neoliberals made about "free trade" in the late 1990s, was that it would reduce military conflict. I don't think that quite bore out the way they said, but it does strike me as true that destroying the US-China trade relationship WILL make military confrontation much more likely

When Trump said he would consider deporting US citizens, he wasn’t joking. And he’s starting with American babies. If he can deport a single citizen without due process, he can do it to anyone. And if he comes for your baby, it won’t matter if you voted for him or not.

reporting on this has really got to get better about communicating the magnitude of the breach here. if you read the nyt article with minimal context, you would have no sense that this was watergate-level impeachable misconduct

Criminalizing opposition is how Putin, Erdoğan, Orbán, and so many other authoritarian strongmen ended democracy. Conservative and Liberal Americans do not want to live in a country where the President can pervert state power to crush opponents. We reject this lawless rampage.

@jacklgoldsmith.bsky.social on how the Solicitor General will be tested in the coming weeks. Will John Sauer squander the currency traditionally enjoyed by the SG’s ofc before SCOTUS to align his arguments w/the demands of Trump’s political “comms”? I say yes. open.substack.com/pub/executiv...

Chair Comer denied our request for an official trip to El Salvador to advocate for due process and the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Pretty shameful. Good thing I don’t need Comer’s permission to get on a plane.

On this 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s ride, I keep thinking of a few lines from the last stanza of Longfellow’s poem: “And so through the night went his cry of alarm… A cry of defiance and not of fear…” “In the hour of darkness and peril and need, The people will waken and listen to hear…”

I mean, seriously, look at some of the banned words this group of protesters was holding up in front of the New York Public Library! (NYPL) This is just some of the 300+ words the Trump Regime is commanding Universities to remove under threat of losing federal funding. #BannedWords
