On Nov. 7, 2025, Trump pardoned 70+ people tied to trying to overturn the 2020 election. Albany Law Prof Ray Brescia explains why it’s huge—but a pardon won’t shield lawyers from losing their licenses, as licensing is mostly outside federal reach. @raybrescia.bsky.social

It was never about fighting anti-semitism. It was never about fighting child sex-trafficking. And it was never about the working class.

OPINION by @jordan-s-rubin.bsky.social: “…if the Trump DOJ charges Obama — again, it’s unclear what statutes the DOJ would use or what the theory of the case would be — among the things Obama’s counsel could point to is the immunity ruling.” READ MORE: www.msnbc.com/deadline-whi...

If Trump is serious about his libel claim vs. the WSJ, he’ll have to demonstrate that a cautious media outlet published its Epstein story with reckless disregard for its veracity. He’ll also have to endure potentially embarrassing discovery if he stays the course. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

On the brink of war, which could add trillions to the deficit and cause incalculable suffering, what’s the last thing the United States needs right now? A massive tax cut for billionaires paid for through cuts to the VA and by slashing services to the same communities that will defend us.

As if the humiliation could not get any worse for the law firms that caved to Trump - "they just signed anything I put in front of them." These claim to be transactional firms, advising clients about risks. SMH.
