I am even more specific than @blakeprof.bsky.social: we fund everyone except ICE and CPB. They can live off of the fat of the BBBA until 2029, and then we kill ICE.

The Jesuits have been on it. :)

What is crazy about being named Murray is that when your cousin does the 23 and Me, 30-40% of your genetic make-up ends up being Scots-Irish. So, dude, should I be proud of my “White” Identity? Sit down, stupid.

Let me introduce everyone to the 24th Amendment! C’mon down, Fighting 24th: The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election…shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax.

Speaking as an Apple News user here: (a) it is a pretty useful service; and (b) the user organizes the feed. You can deliberately select your Favorites and then it bases subsequent selections on your initial choices. You can have a feed entirely composed of “conservative choices.”

Thank you, Senate. Renee Good’s dead is not being investigated at all.

And this is why President Biden committed political malpractice by not stepping down before the Democrats could hold a primary vote: low information voters in a polarized environment need to beat over the head with new information.

What I will say that Anti-Federalist theory of political pluralism—which is also resides sovereignty in the People themselves—is looking quite prescient.

Ice out of Minnesota; ICE and CPB funding constrained; and the death of Renee Good, and all other 16 officer-involved shootings, ideally by Congress. These were my goals at the start.

The minimum is an investigation of an officer-involved shooting—whether it is a criminal or civil investigation. The Trump Admin refused to do minimum on Marimar Martinez and is refusing to do one on Renee Good. Both times it is because Kash Patel refused to contradict Pres. Trump.on his fantasies.

I am so excited to read @chup.blakereid.org’s Separation of Copyright Powers, a particularly fervid moment of this Feed, when I speculated Elon Musk was after the copyright deposits at the Copyright Office. Memories, LOL.

We were waiting for this shoe to drop is in the Infrostructure space when Billy Long quit in a blaze of glory. Who was Billy Long? A man whose only tax experience was in creating corrupt, tax shelters, but still found sharing tax information abhorrent.

I suspect the Democrats have a lurking issue in the University space, which we had pretty good universities, when we funded them and left the professors alone to create American greatness. All of this syllabus nitpicking, it seems to me, is pretty weird.

Hey, look nothing has changed in 15 days except Alex Pretti’s death is “under investigation” by DOJ.

I just wanted to note that the reason why everyone said that a very narrow popular vote plurality was an anti-majoritarian device, the Electoral College, which was imposed in the Constitution as a device to uphold enslavement.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

I point out no Democrat asked why an investigation is not even open on Renee Good’s death to repeat to everyone: an investigation is the bare minimum. And as I noted last week, the difference between how Renee’s death has been treated is simultaneously sexist and deeply misogynistic.

I am mystified by his answer here because there is NO investigation of Renee Good’s death, civil or criminal, www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/u.... If there is an active investigation, that is news to everyone.

Almost a year ago @joshtpm.bsky.social posted: “The situation at NIH and for biomedical research in the US is MUCH MUCH WORSE than you realize.” I can confirm that this remains true. It is today MUCH MUCH WORSE than the way everyone is acting in public.

Yes, DHS was so confident that the law is clear that it hid for at least six months, making agents come to a secret room, and they are so confident that instead of going through a notice and comment process, they re-issued this as a “guidance.” Total confidence.

Here the technical details of administrative law are fuzzing up the picture: Todd Lyons issued a “guidance” that administrative warrants can be used. A “guidance” is a weak form of authority in administrative law.

I am so excited about this reading!

What is really funny to me is that President Trump wasn’t watching Turning Point’s halftime show either….

You encourage Congress to try it all. Some of it will work, some of it will fail. Pres. John Quincy Adams, after his failed (?) Presidency, joined Congress and then spent from 1836 until 1844, fighting the Gag Rule, which banned anti-slavery petitions from being bought to the floor of Congress.

For everyone joining my party: if I have one belief about Congressional Power is you don’t know anything until you fail, ok? Yes, it is hard to bring a personal bills, BUT guess what, it used to be hard to bring a discharge petition as well. Democracy is exercise…..

And while everyone is feeling good about Benito giving a Grammy to someone who is not Liam Ramos: Congress can pass a personal bill to grant citizenship to Liam Ramos, his family and Kilmer Abrego Garcia.

Greg Grandin must be losing his mind! The Americas!!!! Benito!!!

Whew. I was defensively explaining to my students the other day that I started a Human Relations Committee in the high school and I wondered to myself, why was this impulse so bad?

I feel like a fan at an Historically Black College right now: I am very excited about the Halftime Show.

My impatience with the Democratic Demands is that they listed something like 11 goals. People don’t understand 11 goals. Three goals: (1) ICE out of Minnesota; (2) ICE funding constrained; (3) independent and honest investigations BY CONGRESS of the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

Literally, as the President was putting a racist image on his feed, this was happening in NYC.

I am not sure why again, the failure to investigate Renee Good’s death from a civil or criminal perspective is not a national scandal. The FBI did not want to investigate because it undermine President Trump’s claim that Renee had run over the ICE officer.

After the DOGE Predations, including the closure of USAID, I said to myself: old administrative order is dead, what is the new one going to look like?

I have mentioned that I love an elderly Black grandmother, L. Louise Lucas, is the best politician villain in the Democratic Party. She will wear that hat: she broke Glenn Youngkin.

If I—say—was challenging the National Park Service’s attempt to remove only history related to Black History, I might just start my brief or my complaint with that tweet. And I would start by noting it stayed up 12 hours before anyone thought to take it down.

USA! USA! Erin Jackson carries the Flag at Milan.

I am so excited to present @create-glasgow.bsky.social, at the kind invitation of @drelenacooper.bsky.social on my ongoing project of examining trademark law’s relationship to enslavement. This is part of my larger project of examining categories of Despostic information in intellectual property.

I keep on saying having wildly racist social media accounts is not the flex the Trump Adminstration thinks it is. You might be subversive or edgy or what not, but this social media provides direct evidence of racial animus in free speech, administrative law, or other cases.

Again, a nice easy way for Congress to register disapproval of these retaliatory attacks is to grant citizenship to Liam Ramos and Kilmer Abrego Garcia through a personal bill.

Since I wrote this at 3:10 AM, because I was so enraged by the treatment of Liam Ramos and his family, and then went back to sleep, I just re-up the following: Congress can pass private bills of immigration, www.congress.gov/crs-product/....

Congress can personally grant citizenship through to Liam and his family and while they are doing to Kilmer Abrego Garcia. Enough with this insanity.

You have to understand that these are fundamentally bad people with hatred in their hearts.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside. What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there? I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

I would be fine with segregate ICE from other DHS funding; then writing appropriations of ICE down to zero in this annual appropriations bill, because if the Democrats win Congress they could continue appropriated ICE to 0 going forward. ICE can live off the BBBA funds until 2029 and then die.

So, when does only taking out historical material related to Black history become viewpoint discrimination by the National Park Service? Bryon De LA Beckwith ran the Liberty Libby, which stated that only 74,000 Jews died in Auschwitz. He was against vaccines and fluoridated water kill babies.

I’m still waiting on an APA lawsuit to enjoin this guidance. It’s low hanging fruit.

At a moment when we need the Criminal Section of the Civil Rights Division more than ever to hold officers accountable for violating the Constitution, Trump is taking a bulldozer to the place. That is not a coincidence, of course.

And I have to say as an international trade person, can we get customs out of ICE? Like, I want to the ICE website to show my students customs enforcement, and it was like crazy mugshots and racist memes. I just need to show my students what valuation of objects looks like?

1/What has been appalling to me is the refusal to criminally investigate Renee Good’s death, or to afford her a civil rights investigation, and everyone’s meek compliance. A straight line from the Epstein Files to this willful refusal: a decision that Renee Good falls into an irrelevant category.

Government Defamation: I have to say requiring the Government to turn over and make public all material related to the investigation is a powerful remedy. Marimar Martinez has not gotten her due, but her testimony to Congress was fantastic, and this brief should be read.
