Not to diminish law review articles & law school committee work, but right now law professors should be working collectively on an intellectual & service project of immense, existential importance: building consensus around a revolutionary constitutional framework-of a Reconstruction 2.0 magnitude.

"alleged drug vessel"

Call it a boat. A vessel. Anything that you can actually prove. There is exactly zero reason now, at the eighth instance, to use the administration's preferred language, without any evidence.

Even if true, this is wildly illegal & violates all the laws. That is the headline. We're so far past stenography in October 2025. Whatever world in which this worked as a way to cover 🇺🇸 politics is gone, over, & totally done with now.
The White House said on Tuesday it will submit plans for President Donald Trump's $250 million White House ballroom project to a body that oversees federal building construction, even though demolition work began earlier this week reut.rs/4ndTcfL

Again, what KImmel said was NOT that Robinson might have been MAGA, but that the MAGA gang was desperately trying to say he was not and to score political points from it. Where is the deep offense to civility there, not to mention from a late night comedian?

For instance, when people wonder why most Democratic leaders don’t have the spine to stand up to Trump, they forget where and with whom they spend most of their time—with funders and business people who for the most part are just fine with what's going on.

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

Be fully prepared for the Supreme Court to get rid of district judges’ ability to issue nationwide injunctions. They just have to chalk up another one in the win column for Daddy Trump before they go on their billionaire-funded vacations for the summer.

Must-read. @gregsargent.bsky.social is all over it.
If you strip away the egos and shitposting, the Trump-Musk feud is really an argument over how comprehensively to screw over poor and working people—over how best to make our society a meaner, crueler, less equal, more savage place.

New piece from me:

The Real Reason for the Trump-Musk Feud is Uglier than You Think
Strip away the ego contest, and what you really see here is a competition about how screw over poor and working people more effectively.

It's as if he's on drugs.
I'm sorry, as much as I am enjoying this spat, how can you take seriously someone who spent 100s of millions of dollars electing Trump, then went to work for Trump, left government just days ago praising Trump, and is now calling for Trump's impeachment.

Just unserious people.

By my count, SCOTUS has thirty-five (35) cases in which to issue a decision… in the next 28 days. And I don’t think that includes any of the emergency applications. Don’t they need to like, get to work on releasing some of those? Or am I buggin’?

The felon-in-chief suspended habeas corpus the day the first planes took off and headed for El Salvador. It’s been months and they’ve faced zero actual repercussions.

Blanket presidential immunity made this possible.

Pentagon announces that it has formally accepted the "palace in the sky" jet from Qatar. Plain and simple violation of the Emoluments Clause without congressional approval. Don't think this is over.

This is a no-brainer for Democrats who want to show they have some fight in them. For pardoning violent criminals who killed police officers, he should be impeached. Of course, it won't pass, but Dems need to start making the case. Today.

A graphic depiction helps make clear that Trump has no “mandate.” One of the narrowest popular vote wins in history.

Ok, but how do I find people that I know on here? No import contacts or anything like that? Maybe I’m missing something obvious someone can point me towards?
