It's hard to imagine a purer combination of the abuse of executive power and naked corruption. In short, this is a quintessential impeachable offense.

One more day to put in J&IJ conference abstracts!!! (due May 1)

Arguably, no law in American history was a product of more public deliberation and more attention from the political branches than the Voting Rights Act. We fought a Civil War to put authorization of it in the Constitution. It then took 100 years of protest/lobbying to get the legislation passed.

The decision in Louisiana v. Callais claims, "By 2004, the racial gap in voter registration and turnout had largely disappeared.... Black voters now participate in elections at similar rates as the rest of the electorate" (26–27). This is misleading: White turnout remains much higher than non-White.

CC: @arielrwhite.bsky.social @allipatter.bsky.social & #AndrewMcCall 2/2 We have 3 formats: 1) Posters (graduate students) 2) Papers (well-developed projects) 3) Research designs (good ideas that need feedback) Past programs here: criminaljusticepolitics.wordpress.com

Just four more days to get those abstracts in!

His wife: "We believed that the United States welcomed international students, professors, and academics from around the world....We believed that freedom of speech was real. We believed that the U.S. was moving closer to its democratic ideals. But now...none of this seems to be working anymore."

New editorial from me and @keithschnak.bsky.social. “Why Washington University must not sign Trump's 'compact'”

Breaking News: Brown University became the second college to reject a White House deal offering preferential treatment for federal grants.

interesting!

This afternoon I was proud to represent our MIT @aaup.org chapter at a student-organized press conference about the proposed "compact"

Here's what I said about @MIT's decision to decline the compact, and why others should join us: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Finally, check out AAUP-Penn’s statement that clearly frames the compact as a “threat, not an invitation.” No to partisan interference in higher education! @aaup-penn.bsky.social Statement here👇

I think it's a mistake to think of the firing of Lisa Cook primarily in terms of Central Bank Independence, and its impact on the inflation rate. The most significant issue is also more basic: it's the rule of law.

Reminder: It does not matter if Lisa Cook filled out a form wrong or if the raid finds some document in a file folder in John Bolton's house. These actions are wrong no matter what because they selectively target opponents of the government. The rule of law is under attack.

NEW: The 9th Circuit permits the Trump admin to terminate TPS for Honduras, Nicaragua, and Nepal for now. This population includes 50,000 people who have been here legally since 1998 and will now have to leave the US or risk deportation. Many have no path to permanent status.
