Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

The defense of the United States is a serious business. Breaches of national security are especially dangerous. But the Trump team's excuses - especially those from Pete Hegseth - are laughable.

The Trump Team’s Denials Are Laughable
The president’s officials must know that what they did in the Signal group chat was wrong—and dangerous.

Or really I should say, I am the pissed off parent of a UMich grad student.

My son is there to learn, to be challenged, to be confronted with complexity, and to grow.

Just heard from a friend who has a VERY reliable source that US residents who are not citizens - even legal permanent residents and green card holders - should stay away from airports.

Customs is pulling aside non-citizens, even for DOMESTIC flights.

I don't have any more details. Be safe.

The fact that the "Houthi PC Small Group" chat was so specifically named implies that there is or was a Houthi PC Large Group chat, as well as chats for other topics.
Jeffrey Goldberg, who is at the center of the furor over the Signal chain, has a book titled On Heroism that Preet Bharara & I interviewed him about last fall. It's a great book. My reflection on what stuck with me & why it matters in this moment: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-houthi...
