The CR to reopen the gov also contained a provision that opens the door to several Senate Republicans personally receiving $500,000 (possibly more) from the DOJ. (See page 225 of HR 5371, as amended by the Senate).

BREAKING. House Republicans seek to repeal the gun safety provisions in the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. HR 6035 (intro'd today) would relax background checks & licensing requirements + allow convicted persons of domestic violence to purchase guns

Halligan may have obtained the indictment the president wanted, but it...one thing to get a grand jury to indict. Getting a conviction is an entirely different matter. New from me for @brennancenter.org A discussion of the flawed Comey indictment. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

ICYMI. Jacob Chansley (aka QAnon Shaman) filed a $40 TRILLION lawsuit against Trump and others. The complaint is nearly impossible to find, but I found it. Here it is: drive.google.com/file/d/1v5m7...

Jimmy Kimmel's defenders called his suspension an attack on the First Amendment; one said it was the most "straightforward attack on free speech from state actors I’ve ever seen." Is it? @profunger.bsky.social explains what the 1st Amendment does/doesn't protect theconversation.com/why-jimmy-ki...

I’ve passionately disagreed w/ Kirk on almost everything. But I respect his right to say it. As an American value, we must not, we cannot, allow violence to creep into our free speech & civic dialogue. We do not shoot those who we disagree with; rather, we must engage w/ respectful civil discussion.

My comments regarding Trump's Cashless Bail Executive Order.

Balance? What balance? Conservatives have acquiesced to expansive presidential power under Trump.

Is Charlie Kirk openly encouraging bribery?

Let the people’s branch vote, Speaker Johnson.

Cancel those Paramount subscriptions.

Dems Leadership wasted an opportunity to rebrand the Big Beautiful Bill when it was under consideration by Congress. Big Barbaric Bill Big Betrayal Bill Big Bad Bill Bad Backwards Bill Blatant Bankrupt Bill Brutally Barbaric Bill Anything would have been better, but Dems were MIA.

The Big Beautiful Bill appropriated $100M to “fund accounting efficiencies in the Executive Branch.” Seems inefficient to me.

This was a fun project to be a part of!

If I recall correctly, a recent Quinnipiac poll has the approval rating for Dem leadership below 20%. I’m not surprised given how they are MIA.

The OBBB appropriated $300M for security of Trump’s properties. ICYMI.

If Epstein is the downfall of a Trump Admin, and not _______ (any of the stuff below), then woahhh. Russia election tampering, liability for sexual assault, call w/ Zelenskyy, Robert Mueller, mishandling of classified docs (w/ pics!)… 1/3

Oh, Professor Ilan Wurman. His myopic tendency blinds well establish contrary precedent. Just two weeks ago, SCOTUS "reaffirmed" the Susan B. Anthony List precedent in Mahmoud v. Taylor.

I remember sitting on a rooftop in Manhattan talking to an HBO Max marketer who was stoked about the rebrand to Max—trying to convince me how big of a deal it was. Welp. I wonder if she still works there. HBO Max is back.

The unpredictability in Trump’s Tariffs policy must be driving executives crazy. You simply cannot run your business with such unpredictability.

I wonder how many of Trump’s wealthy friends bought stocks when the market dropped off the cliff, just to hold, and then sell following his “pause” knowing what he was going to do.

False. American federalism divides power between the national and state governments. It’s the basis of our system of government. Remarkable how states rights has suddenly vanished…

On my latest episode of the Discourse podcast, we’re talking tariffs! I pull from my expertise in supply chains and the law to explain what is happening and how it is happening. Listen now re: the Trump Tariffs! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

My uncle presented a great idea tonight. All sellers of goods should post the total price of a good on the price tag (with the tariffs) AND the total price of the good *without* the tariffs imposed. Then Americans can see for themselves how much they will be paying as a result from Trump.

Nothing makes you dislike humans more than Costco on the weekend. And if you cannot relate, either you don’t have a Costco membership or you’re the problem. 🫠

Dems need a whole new slate of strategists and consultants.

A federal court’s jurisdiction does *not* stop at the water’s edge. The question is whether the *defendants* are subject to the court order, not *where* the conduct being challenged takes place. Were it otherwise, the government could act lawlessly overseas and courts would be powerless to stop it.

I wonder what disciplinary actions and sanctions DOJ lawyers will face in the cases against the Trump Admin to no fault of the attorney but to the fault of Trump and his appointees.

No one elected Elon Musk.

I’ve said it before. The “move fast and break things” Silicon Valley mentality does not translate to government because when we break things in government, we impact people’s lives. Literally.

It’s 11pm, and I just finished recording the 4th episode of my podcast titled Discourse where we try to make sense of the chaos in the world around us. Sending it to the post-production company to edit & the entire podcast (with 4 episodes) will launch soon! Stay tuned.

From a FOIA perspective, "the entire federal workforce should write down and email what they did last week" is extremely funny

It’s nearing 11pm, and I just finished recording the 2nd episode of Discourse—my new podcast that seeks to make sense of the chaos in current events. The episode is now in post-production, and it will officially hit the air soon! Stay tuned. You’ll find Discourse wherever you get your podcasts.

#AI tools are being used to create fake nude images of minors, blurring the line between real and computer-generated child sexual abuse material. Legal experts grapple with the implications: https://buff.ly/4hDaIZ6 By @profunger.bsky.social Quinnipiac University

Our latest episode is out now. This week, @igrobrien.seriousprivacy.eu, @heartofprivacy.bsky.social and @europaulb.seriousprivacy.eu speak with @profunger.bsky.social about the U.S. Constitution in light of recent events impacting data protection. #PoweredByTrustArc

“Nothing can destroy a government more quickly than its failure to observe its own laws, or worse, its disregard of the charter of its own existence.” - SCOTUS in Mapp v. Ohio (1961).

Has any plaintiff raised a principal officers claim against Elon Musk and the “Department” of Gov Efficiency?

The problem with the “move fast and break things” mentality when that mentality is applied to government is… When we break things in government, it affects people’s lives. It could be the difference between life and death, full stomachs and hunger, illness and wellness, etc.

Kendrick!
