I don't ask for help, but I really need it. I put a lot of love into the world, and I'm hoping I can get some back for my baby. He just turned 1 and he broke his damned jaw. It's super expensive and I'm on social security. I can't bear to put him down. Please donate and share. gofund.me/f21012280

Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.

There lurks, perhaps, a hitherto unheeded meaning here.

Well, I am not sure what my analysis here is worth, but here is my 7,500 word primal scream of a military historian's take on the War in Iran. My best summary: this war is dumb as hell. acoup.blog/2026/03/25/m...

Feels like the obvious way to make sense of Trump's statements and actions is that he's trying to buy as much time as possible in oil markets and the stock market until a ground invasion.

“In his book On Strategy, U.S. Army Col. Harry Summers Jr. recounts a statement he made to North Vietnamese Col. Tu in 1975. “You know,” Summers said, “you never defeated us on the battlefield.” Tu replied, “That may be so, but it is also irrelevant.” @markhertling.bsky.social

Um is he playing coy about nuclear weapons next to *checks notes* the Prime Minister if Japan?

I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.

Judge Goodwin: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct. A regime of secret policing has no place in our society."

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Ted Cruz in 2016, "We're liable to wake up one morning and Donald Trump if he was President would have nuked Denmark" "That's not the temperament of a leader to keep this country safe"

I had no idea until today that Andy Dick is a leading light of the fascist right

ICE shot and killed a woman on camera today. We all saw the video. The Trump administration is lying.

Todd Blanche’s appearance on Meet the Press was disgraceful but clarifying. The “Department of Justice” is Donald Trump’s defense team. There can be no presumption they’re acting in good faith. One has to approach them as one approached a Soviet “Department of Justice”—as propaganda, not justice.

Trump's secret police vandalize houses and cars, assault citizens, fire potential lethal weapons for the hell of it, and assault children, often as sexual predators... and claim impunity for all of this. CATO proposes the fix. In the meantime it's essential to document all these crimes rigorously.

New paper from me offering a holistic assessment of #SCOTUS's behavior on Trump-related emergency applications thus far: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... TL;DR: The ultimate theme of the decisions is a majority bent on preserving *their* supremacy, as such—which is likely to only be self-defeating.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

Happy 9th Birthday to Sweet Eddie! Given his status as a Certified Good Boy, he got to wear this hat today and he enjoyed a cheeseburger

The basic dynamic is that Congress and SCOTUS left a federal-government-sized hole in the remedies available for people subjected to unconstitutional searches and seizures, and the Trump administration is presently driving an ICE caravan through it.

Unsurprisingly fantastic, nuanced piece by Dave Pozen and Jed Britton-Purdy. Read it! www.bostonreview.net/articles/wha...

The case is settled! The Boss said it is 'Authoritarianism.' www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZHW...

Glad to be partnering with the ACLU in my attempt to hold whoever was in charge of firing me responsible. It’s important, especially during these particular times, that we fight for our rights (and not just to party)

With the help of colleagues @tylermcbrien.com & @annahickey.lawfaremedia.org of @lawfaremedia.org , I compiled this interactive table of the state of play of litigation over Trump's Alien Enemies Act proclamation. Lemme know if you see errors. lawfaremedia.org/alienenemiestable

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

An extraordinary separate dissent from Justice Jackson accuses the majority of trying to pass off its dirty work under the cover of the shadow docket and explicitly invokes Korematsu, the Japanese internment case. Wow. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

“We are currently clean on op sec.”

Federal courts now have to treat the DOJ like a pro se plaintiff who is suing all the Jews of the world for one quadrillion dollars
