There’s a reason Caesar was forbidden to cross the Rubicon and return to Rome with his army. It’s what separates a relatively free society from a fascist one.

Witkoff advised the Russians on how to pitch their Ukraine plan to Trump www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

"One of Tina Peters’ lawyers, Peter Ticktin, suggested on Trump ally Steve Bannon’s podcast this week that the military be used to free Peters from prison." And that, my friends, is what we would call "an illegal order."

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.

Looks like Trump is [puts on sunglasses] Kashing Out. www.ms.now/news/trump-k...

"as though we're preparing for a hurricane" New Orleans.

A federal judge didn’t “steal” the Commander-in-Chief’s powers—she ruled that DoD exceeded the limits Congress set. That is the rule of law working as designed. What threatens the Republic isn’t judicial review, but officials who insist they’re above it.

In this tough and moving essay, Caroline Kennedy's 35-year-old daughter Tatiana Schlossberg reveals that she is terminally ill with leukemia. She has some choice words about how her cousin Bobby has made the limited time she has left worse. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Megyn Kelly claimed Epstein was into “the barely legal type,” referring to 15 year-olds. So I wrote about how her comments highlight the ways both purity culture and rape culture sexualize young girls and make male desire their responsibility. www.liberalcurrents.com/the-barely-l...

This is correct. The 80s didn’t end until Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Mike Johnson decided to quickly schedule a House vote on an effort to force the release of all of the Jeffrey Epstein case files once he realized that it couldn’t be stopped. House GOP leaders are bracing for a significant number of Republicans to break from Trump and support the bipartisan bill.

We never lear that control comes with sensible regulation not bans.

This is true and it's also disheartening for anyone who was yelling about what this would entail before the election.

I wrote for @slate.com about a legendary (and violent) Tennessee sheriff who more likely than not murdered his wife and the people who want to keep him on a pedestal. slate.com/news-and-pol...

A strong geomagnetic storm striking Earth could make the northern lights visible this week in places farther south than usual.

My interview on the BBC was immediately preceded by: 1) A UN expert characterizing atrocities in El Fasher, Sudan as crimes against humanity. 2) A former prosecutor for the International Criminal Court characterizing U.S. maritime strikes as a crime against humanity. What a time.

The ruling reverses a judge’s decision upholding the ballot measure and, unless overturned on appeal, establishes a precedent binding on trial courts statewide.

Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.

Jesus. I was just thinking yesterday, when People was putting Trump on blast, how Teen Vogue also was one of those magazines that wasn’t created to do hard-hitting politics but really rose to the moment back in Trump 1, unlike almost all other ones that should have. This is a real legit blow.

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

Attorneys for former FBI Director James Comey argued in a filing that the indictment against their client is too vague and have requested a detailed explanation of what false statements, exactly, Comey allegedly made to Congress.

Great news: Extremists found someone to hold accountable for childhood harm. Bad news: it’s not the gun industry that is killing our kids, it’s Tylenol. While the gun industry celebrates their Congressional handout, PLCAA, gun violence is the #1 cause of death for American children. Priorities…

The sort of people the administration calls 'terrorists' : "[the 84 year olds] were rushed by federal officers “for no apparent reason.” She said her husband was leaning on his walker and wearing his Vietnam veterans cap as he was pushed to the ground."

Just going to leave this here. I continue to believe that this whole thing is a catastrophe for legal scholarship, and I hope it doesn’t do any more damage. publications.lawschool.cornell.edu/lawreview/wp...

⚖️ "Either the Supreme Court or Congress need to ultimately resolve this issue so that responsible cannabis consumers are no longer threatened with federal prison terms simply for exercising their 2nd Amendment rights." #NORML #cannabis #marijuana #2A

Mockler: They say that they oppose it at a 79% rate, 61% of them feel less safe… So the question that I then want to ask is, why don't we mobilize the National Guard to the eight out of ten red states that are the highest homicide states?
