Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

The president of El Salvador tweeted a sly joke about his part in a cross-border conspiracy to enable a US president to defy a US court order. Incredible to imagine the MAGA storm if Zelenskyy had done such a thing.

I strongly suspect this recent piece from Prof. David Knoll is about to be come extremely relevant and widely read. "Even a rogue marshal’s service, in other words, is not an insurmountable obstacle to courts enforcing the rule of law. If courts have the courage, the legal tools are there."

Do you know why rural and working people are listening to Walz and AOC and Bernie? Because they tell the damn truth. Because they are passionate about people. Because they are authentic. Because they care. They are the new face of the opposition.

Quinoa is grown all over now but 20 years ago it was almost unknown. USAID, working with countries in the Andean region, helped develop and popularize the nutritious grain, thereby raising living standards and reducing food insecurity. It’s just one example of what we’ve lost.

Yesterday, Trump targeted me at a speech be the Department of Justice. If he thinks it will cause me to back down he is wrong. My law firm is currently litigating 46 pro-democracy cases in 21 states, with more to come. We are not done fighting and we are not done winning.

Our system of laws depends on people — lawyers — taking adversarial positions in court, including against the government. Indeed, especially against the government! It’s central to the guarantee of freedom. The attack on law firms and lawyers at civic groups is an attack on all of our freedoms.

Some recessions start because of a financial crisis (2008). Some start because of Fed tightening (1980). Some start because of some shock in the wider world. (2020). If we get a recession in 2025, however, it will be entirely because of stupid decisions by Trump and Musk.

The GOP has been told not to host in-person town halls—what are they so afraid of? Hearing from their own constituents? Meanwhile, leaders like Tim Walz are stepping up. He’s hosting a town hall in Iowa, not even in his own district, making sure Americans’ voices are heard.
