So, thing that is apparently better understood inside academia than outside of it: International students pay sticker price. Most domestic students do not. International students are subsidizing the education costs for domestic students, as per student governmental funding drops.

Call for impeachment, sir. It's important to speak this into existence so people understand how dire it is.

www.nytimes.com/2026/04/03/u... So, we're just not doing that whole Article 1 thing anymore, is that it?

It would be useful if the NYT explicitly stated that the pilot, if captured, would be a POW, that there are laws governing how POWs can be treated, that respect for international law on war shapes how the enemy approaches it, and this is why the US conduct of this illegal war has been so dangerous.

Now that at least one U.S. air crew member is alive on the ground in Iran, it's worth revisiting Pete Hegseth's commitment to "no quarter, no mercy for our enemies." This is the scenario he was warned about.

We couldn’t have hoped for a better advocate than @aclu.org National Director Cecillia Wang today in the SCOTUS, arguing against Trump’s effort to end birthright citizenship. If there’s any fairness left, this wil be a big win for democracy, citizenship, & the integrity of the 14th Amendment.

In consecutive answers, Sauer told Gorsuch the 1940 and 1952 statutes don't codify Wong Kim Ark because they use the same words as 14A. Then he told Kavanaugh the 14A's *different* language from the 1866 CRA means the same thing. See if you can spot the inconsistency, kids!

I keep on saying this but the court this time last year signaled it would take this up on the merits quickly and both sides wanted it to.

Albert Podrasky, Chief Justice Roberts’ grandfather, born in the U.S. to parents who were not citizens, was an American citizen. Why not the U.S.-born child today of a migrant from Africa? Or El Salvador? Or Honduras?

“Until he’s ejected from the White House, all our rights are in danger.” trib.al/KqM2fND

In principle, endorsing this should merit not just removal from the speakership but expulsion from the House.

A very Trump 2 sequence of events here: 1. Trump creates problem 2. Senate resolves problem, exercising constitutional authority of Congress 3. House GOP rejects solution 4. Trump takes unlawful steps to "solve" problem, seizing the rightful authority of Congress with the assent of the House GOP

Here is a historical artifact for everyone

This should be an impeachable offense. I understand that we’re way past any of that, but that shouldn’t stop us from naming it.

Thread

Awful: Stephen Miller is privately urging Texas lawmakers to restrict funding for the public education of undocumented kids. This has long been a right-wing dream: They want to get SCOTUS to reverse Plyler v Doe and further chip away at 14th Amendment. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2081...

The US government collected over $1 billion in immigration fees then refused to process the applications. No denials. No refunds. Just silence. This is the largest fee fraud in the history of the American immigration system. Here's what's happening. 🧵

So so so well deserved

This story is horrifying.

SCOOP— Trump wants a 24k gold coin w/ his face on it for America 250, but an official at a late February coin advisory committee meeting called it something only done by "nations ruled by kings or dictators." After NYT reported the criticism, US Mint yanked online vid of the meeting w/o explanation.

BREAKING: Judge Royce Lamberth rules that the Trump admin impermissibly halted Voice of America and related broadcasting and impermissibly placed associated employees on administrative leave, orders return to work by March 23. Order: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This isn’t normal and we have to say that out loud.

Huh

Beautiful statement from Ayman Odeh, Palestinian MK and head of Hadash-Taal. For those who do not read Hebrew, I will translate:

Oh yes it certainly is. We'll see again next week, I expect, per @cshaplaw.bsky.social: www.scotusblog.com/2026/03/is-j...

There are more instances of United States Citizens being detained by ICE than there are of illegal immigrants voting in elections.

Me too

Very interesting thread

they didn’t do it with CA, but are now toying with the idea that the constitution means “Republicans get to gerrymander but Democrats can’t”

One thing the Supreme Court could do is issue per curiam merits rulings on regular, scheduled ruling days at 10am instead of 6pm at night without any advance notice.

This thread on Alito's outrageously misrepresentation of the facts in the NY voting rights case is so damning. Alito's account was misleading to the point of falsity. And there's nothing anybody can do about it. He gets to toss around bogus claims without any consequence.

Thread

A disturbing and hypocritical ruling on so many levels. Especially the due process holding. The court JUST said there’s no deeply rooted right for women to control their own bodies. But there is a deeply rooted right for parents to know if their kids question their gender at school? Come on.

Rick Hasen on today: “to me the headline is the Justice Alito concurrence which states that race conscious districting as required not just by the federal Voting Rights Act but also state acts and state constitutions is “unadorned” and “odious” racial discrimination.” electionlawblog.org?p=154596

This is very not good. Very very not good.

As I explain via the latest “One First,” the only theme that unites the Supreme Court’s (unrelated) grants of emergency relief Monday night in the California transgender student and New York redistricting cases is what might be called “selective judicial impatience.” And that’s *not* a good thing:

The DA in Minneapolis is investigating Bovino and others.

Seriously, it is easy to laugh now, but there was a real fear that this could collapse law firms. Clients and attorneys can leave at any time. No long-term contracts. No non-competes. Jenner, Susman, Wilmer, and Perkins deserve so much credit, as do those that stepped in to defend.

Fighting back works. Please take notes university leaders.

On the cover of The Lancet: Editorial — “Robert F Kennedy Jr: 1 year of failure” Read the latest issue: spkl.io/63327Aa31W

"In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not."

THIS.

This was a premeditated attack with no conceivable emergency: the choice to do this is Congress not President. Waging war on Iran is an obvious violation of the Constitution, no different than enacting tariffs (raising taxes) or defunding USAID (spending programs).

Morning.

The fact that there’s a secret network of doulas going around Minneapolis to help with home births for parents afraid of ICE should be front-page news. These children, born in secrecy, are American citizens.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."
