Makes sense: how can Trump pardon Maduro if he doesn’t get convicted first?
GS: “Sen. Warner said you can’t argue drug trafficking charges demand invasion in one case while issuing a pardon in another…”🤔
@marcorubio: “Maduro was indicted.”
GS: “Hernandez was CONVICTED.”
RUBIO: “I wasn't involved in the pardon… I've got other things going on.” 🤷🏽♂️

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Great post from my colleague Joey Fishkin @fishkin.bsky.social. The same should be said about the preexisting Title VI demands. I don’t see any kind of “deal” that doesn’t fundamentally undermine the rule of law and academic freedom.

Same guy who lied that immigrants were eating pets. Actual statistics show he's lying here, too.
Vance: “People on the left are much likelier to defend and celebrate political violence. This is not a both sides problem. If both sides have a problem, then one side has a much bigger and malignant problem and that is the truth.”
