The Trump regime is breaking the law by not releasing all the Epstein files today and by sticking Trump's name on the Kennedy Center and by continuing to murder people on boats near Venezuela. The White House is in the hands of criminals, and they'll keep committing crimes until we stop them.

Interesting to consider that if you were to go and deface the Kennedy center by removing Trump’s name, you’d be arrested and charged with a crime, but your act would be no more unlawful than what they’re doing right now.

Greene on Supreme Court Expansion
Jamal Greene (Columbia University - Law School) has posted The Nonpartisan Case for Supreme Court Expansion (Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, forthcoming) on SSRN. Here is the abstract: It should be a shared premise across the ideological spectrum that individual Supreme Court justices hold too much power. The only other public officials in the world with a justice’s degree of power and influence over the affairs of their country for as long as justices exercise it are dictators and monarchs.

The Kennedy Center, the Department of Defense & the US Institute of Peace can only be renamed by acts of Congress. Their names have NOT been changed. Trump's playing a sad sad but ultimately meaningless game. Erasing his shallow imprint on DC at the end of his term will be celebrated in the streets.

I'm not sure I agree. The Rob Reiner thing really broke through with a lot of people. And if thought things were fine, he wouldn't have gone on national TV and melted down like this.

Once the next administration is in place, anything less than a complete reversal of everything this guy has done will be a profound betrayal of the American people. From the WH ballroom to the war on science, reverse it all, no exceptions.

It’s a great idea except for the requirements for power, cooling, data bandwidth, and service. Probably some other small things to worry about. I’m not a genius like those guys.
