Adam Serwer (@adamserwer.bsky.social) is *so* gifted at distilling key political themes. Trump 1.0 was "The Cruelty Is The Point"; this piece explains how the admin is now pursuing "The Great Resegregation." It captures *so much* of what's happening. READ IT! www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Was one of the highlights of the year to appear on Strict Scrutiny to talk about my new book. Gave me some real street cred with my students too.

@leahlitman.bsky.social Discovered Strict Scrutiny a year ago. Y’all have taught me a great deal about SCOTUS and also made me laugh until I cried. Thank you for your unapologetic defense of civil rights. My only child is trans and we live in Texas. It’s been scary but you’ve helped. Thank you.

Once more: With Trump DOJ saying independent administrative law judges are unconstitutional, gonna reup my new article "The New Substantive Due Process"-which suggested where SCOTUS's new freewheeling, liberty-based SOP doctrine might go next (& flagged ALJs).... texaslawreview.org/wp-content/u...

Historians Council Member Jonathan Gienapp chatted with Strict Scrutiny about the historical problems with originalism. Check it out! +follow @jgienapp.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s... @kateshaw.bsky.social @profmmurray.bsky.social @leahlitman.bsky.social @brennancenter.bsky.social

Professor Murray’s insistence on calling Pam Bondi by her full name is sending me. 😂 @strictscrutiny.bsky.social

If you have a bit of extra time over #coffee, here's the latest from the gals at @strictscrutiny.bsky.social. #politics #US #SCOTUS youtu.be/nk8b9u27cBo?...

At the point where I’m the sole person family members are sending the statements made by judges challenging Trump’s policies… @strictscrutiny.bsky.social prepared me for this moment, and also loved Judge Ana Reyes calling the policy “unadulterated animus”!

@profmmurray.bsky.social said yesterday on @strictscrutiny.bsky.social we’re barely four weeks into a four year sentence and god I feel that. But also trying to channel some Edmond Dantes energy.

Just called @chrislhayes.bsky.social @kateshaw.bsky.social’s husband to his face. Think I did good tonight.

Courage is contagious ❤️

Great live episode of leading Con Law professors shaking up Fordham Law “Like Charlie XCX at the Grammys” And like Prof. Murray said: “Do not let them gaslight you” @profmmurray.bsky.social @leahlitman.bsky.social @kateshaw.bsky.social @strictscrutiny.bsky.social youtu.be/nk8b9u27cBo?...

Midway through last week’s wave of DOJ resignations over l’affaire Adams, we recorded @strictscrutiny.bsky.social live at Fordham Law School & both @leahlitman.bsky.social & @profmmurray.bsky.social were truly on 🔥🔥🔥

Pamela Jo Bondi?! What in the Florida hell is that name??? @strictscrutiny.bsky.social

Watch. Listen. Learn. @strictscrutiny.bsky.social youtu.be/nk8b9u27cBo?...

Oh, and there's a bear carcass too....

New episode from Professor @leahlitman.bsky.social and co-hosts

@strictscrutiny.bsky.social Live from Fordham Law, Leah, Melissa, and Kate stay on the Trump 2.0 chaos beat... ransacking of the fed gov by the new admin, lawlessness at the DOJ, and the gutting of the CFPB. Finally, they take some time to consider just how much this new administration hates women.

New episode of @strictscrutiny.bsky.social! «Yes, we’re in a constitutional crisis» youtu.be/nk8b9u27cBo?...

We definitely MILKED it for all it's worth!

Go Rams!

@strictscrutiny.bsky.social muskrats! That’s the one.

A Strict Scrutiny @strictscrutiny.bsky.social made this, and I just love it so much!

NEW: We are LIVE from Fordham Law School! Covering ... the Trump 2.0 beat -- the ransacking of the federal government, the lawlessness of DOJ, & the public corruption of ... their public corruption (non)-prosecutions. Oh, and the misogyny too. crooked.com/podcast/yes-...

In a truly on-brand move for me, I started listening to @strictscrutiny.bsky.social with their holiday gift guide episode. Related, their recs have dominated my “want to read”. Up next is James by Percival Everett.

I’m kinda obsessed with the women of @strictscrutiny.bsky.social 👌🏽

GET IT WHILE YOU CAN!

GET IT WHILE YOU CAN!!!

Lawyer peeps - lookin’ at you @strictscrutiny.bsky.social - what does this mean for Powell and the Fed?

Mash-up of my two must listen pods today with @gregsargent.bsky.social of The Daily Blast and @leahlitman.bsky.social of @strictscrutiny.bsky.social - keeping hope alive.

This is another fantastic episode of @strictscrutiny.bsky.social. Check it out!

10/10 recommend Ukrainian coffee as pre-workout (stay mad, Mad Heads) & listening to @strictscrutiny.bsky.social in the gym to let the rage fuel you to PRs 💪

I think part of the reason the NYT (et al.) don't yet see this as a crisis is its wildly erroneous belief that "nearly all intragovernmental government disputes eventually wind up" in federal courts. (1/3) "https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/opinion/trump-constitutional-crisis.html?smid=url-share

Trump DOJ confirms they will ask SCOTUS to overrule Humphrey’s Executor rather than defend independent agencies / multi member commissions like the FTC, etc. (So they’re arguing Trump can fire the boards and commissioners that lead these agencies)

Terrific conversation on @strictscrutiny.bsky.social with historian Jonathan Gienapp on why originalism is not rooted in history.

Hearing Leah Litman say Big Balls on @strictscrutiny.bsky.social feels like watching Anna Gesteyer on Delicious Dish 😂 Is this really our reality?

Great "Strict Scrutiny" conversation with Jonathan Gienapp - a *real* historian - on his book "Against Constitutional Originalism" 1/5

ICYMI - our episode on DOGE cannibalizing the federal government. And speaking of cannibalizing federal law: We also talk originalism too!

Thanks @podsaveamerica.crooked.com @crooked.com for having me on to discuss the constitutional crisis (one part of which is the threat to defy court orders that hold the executive branch to the law - statutes passed by Congress). crooked.com/podcast/will...

“Who needs the deep state when you have the sheep state” Brilliant! @profmmurray.bsky.social on the @strictscrutiny.bsky.social podcast.
