Guess Marco Rubio forgot to go to class on indictment day when he was in law school.
Marco Rubio on Maduro: "He's into the drug business. By the way, it's not me saying it. I'm not just making this up. This was an indictment that came out of the Southern District of New York back in 2020. An indictment! It was undisputed."

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Calling the ABC reporter’s question “insubordinate” explains everything about how Trump sees press freedom.
Q: Why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?
TRUMP: It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you're a terrible reporter. It's the way you ask these questions. You start off with a man who's highly respected asking him an insubordinate question

Kavanaugh Stops directly affecting public school attendance! Wow. Yes, that's right the Supreme Court of the United States and the Trump Administration are actively waging war on children just trying to get an education. I think this needs to be a headline story every night

The district is nearly one-third Hispanic, per WBTV

Nixon fought all the way to the Supreme Court to stop recordings of himself talking like this from becoming public. Aside from the substance of guilt they revealed, people really were scandalized to hear POTUS talking like that, and he was mortified. Thus the famous [expletive deleted] transcripts.

Senator Coons laid it out: Trump’s “release the Epstein files” act is a setup. He calls for an investigation into Democrats, Bondi steps in, and suddenly the files can’t be released because of an “ongoing investigation.” Classic Trump - demand transparency while blocking it.

There have been at least 154 cases in which federal district courts have issued preliminary relief against a Trump administration policy.
Those rulings have come from 121 *different* judges appointed by seven presidents (including 15 appointed by Trump) sitting in 29 district courts in 10 circuits:

193. The "War" on Judges
Deputy Attorney General Blanche's attack on lower courts is an impressive combination of light on substance; shamelessly hypocritical; and profoundly dangerous. More people should be condemning it.

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.
In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

There's a longstanding debate over the value of law professor amicus briefs at #SCOTUS.
