I stand with Rep. LaMonica McIver! Trump’s Justice Department is completely out of control and abusing its power—trying to go after Members of Congress. We will not stand for it!
Today’s decision is disappointing. I am not in this fight only for myself, and I’m concerned that this decision will simply embolden the administration.
This case is not over. I am committed to protecting my community, our people, and our country.

a whole interview of him not realizing that he's identifying his own failures
There are probably things I’d less rather read, like a Larry Summers / Jed Rubenfeld / Alan Dershowitz coauthored piece on why it’s important for due process that the low-IQ girls not be able to take down important men, but this has to be pretty close to the bottom.

The “approved” content is completely subjective and this will be weaponized to attack professors and instructors who teach about ideas that go against the prevailing statewide political winds.

I think the core point is that trump had a honeymoon in which capital/media/political opposition all decided he was the one true voice of america. he did a lot of horrible things with that (including murdering 100s of thousands), but didn't consolidate power...

By the mid-1970s, only 200 American crocodiles remained, their habitat largely gobbled up by sunseekers. But hope lurked in the shadows of a nuclear power plant—the same facility built to air-condition the homes that had led to the reptiles’ demise. Read more about this unlikely partnership:

How does one refer to outputs of a body not compatible with rule of law standards acc to ECtHR itself?
ECtHR has always struggled as it is not used to be dealing with fake courts composed of "illegal judges". In this judgment it rightly refers to "issuing body" yet wrongly speaks of "judgment"
