“The Constitution embodied not just one idea but a ‘pantheon of values,’ he said, and ‘the notion that all of constitutional law lies there in the Constitution waiting for a judge to read it’ was ‘simplistic’. Such an interpretive approach ‘diminishes us,’ he said.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/09/u...

Ed Martin, Trump's pick for D.C. U.S. District Attorney, ghostwrote online attacks against an Illinois judge with whom he was in a legal dispute. We obtained emails that show Martin bought a laptop for the woman who made the posts and coached her on how to make them look organic: propub.li/4d1aut5

It’s a pure fallacy to say that the best way to become immune is by getting infected. Even more bonkers in the case of measles is that the measles virus can wipe out ALL former immunity to other infections, meaning even if you don’t get that sick from measles you’re gonna get sick all the time after

“We’re upset with ICE but the police are okay,” is a position you can only hold if you’re not aware of how intertwined our local and federal police forces are through shared contracts, spaces, practices, and attitudes. The fusion centers launched in the GWOT are the site of the …fusion of forces.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Alt: "I bought $200 of stuff from Costco and they bought $0 from me. To resolve this deficit I will be charging myself $50 every time I go to the store.

I support the US garment industry. I don't believe in making life harder for immigrants or erecting blanket tariffs. So how can we reshore some of our US garment manufacturing without xenophobia or protectionism? Here's my view. 🧵

Let the record reflect Donald Trump did not spend the weekend in the office working to mitigate the deepening global crisis he gratuitously caused last Thursday. He spent it playing in the seniors club championship at some golf club he owns in Florida.

The American college experience—earning a degree to join the middle class while coming of age on a pastoral campus with sororities and sports—may be over. Trump's attacks on higher ed impact much more than just Columbia or scientific research. They put the whole idea of college at risk. My story:

I think this is correct. Everyone involved in aviation KNOWS FOR SURE that reckless/ rampant changes of past six weeks will, for sure, make airplane crashes more likely. But no airline exec wants to be the first to say this in public.

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.
