One confusing thing about the liberal media is that it's extremely right-wing

We have arrived at a point in U.S. history where the murder of a person who was a fierce proponent of free speech is being used as an excuse for a tyrannical gov't to limit speech. ABC can fire whoever they want. But to do it because the FCC threatened their broadcast license? That's fascism.

Soldiers in MRAPs rolling around Union Station—blocks from the Capitol—seems silly, performative, and useless. But it raises a much darker question: What would Trump have done on Jan. 6, 2021 if he had possessed then the kind of control over local law enforcement that he seeks to acquire today?

The Epstein birthday card is now public. (Trump can continue to pretend it's not real, but that's not the point.) The point: If the card were the worst thing for Trump in the files, why wouldn't Trump now make the Epstein files public? Conclusion: There are worse things for Trump in the files.

While Trump wastes millions on a military parade in DC, we're mobilizing everywhere else to show that organized people power is stronger than his authoritarian aspirations. app.sosha.ai/s/k2rHlTfF

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

President Trump on Wednesday commuted the federal sentences of Larry Hoover, who was convicted of leading a notorious gang from inside an Illinois prison and who was also convicted of murder. Hoover still has over 100 years left to serve on state charges. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/u...

A real presidential post

Just listened to the Hur interview tape and I’m utterly appalled at all the incoherent and crazy things Biden said about Revolutionary War airports, injecting bleach, people eating cats and dogs, Hannibal Lecter, and Arnold Palmer’s penis. Simply unbelievable that he ran for president again.

Yes, I'm pissed about the jumbo jet too. But this is actually the most important story today.

If members of the WH Press Corp don’t ask this question RELENTLESSLY they should turn in their badges.

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

Wave caught a road win 🌊

Source at VA tells me an emergency data request went out demanding info any on relationships the 2nd largest Fed department and largest healthcare system in the US has with Harvard. We know there are significant research connections. This won't hurt Harvard. It will kill veterans. They don't care.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

So the White House story is now: “We didn’t mean to threaten Harvard, because we didn’t mean to send the threatening letter we sent, but when Harvard rejected the threats we made but didn’t mean to make, we decided to threaten them twice more.” The country is now run by thugs and idiots.

Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson, a conservative Reagan appointee, wrote a blistering opinion accusing the Trump administration of failing to give a man wrongly deported to El Salvador any semblance of due process.

simply because their research didn’t align with the administration’s narrative. Let that sink in: the federal government is pressuring a medical journal over what it’s allowed to publish. This isn’t about science or national security, it’s about control. It’s about silencing dissent.

Here is an up to date list of Big Law collaborators along with how much in free legal services they have pledged to Trump's causes. Paul Weiss 40M Cadwalader 100M Milbank 100M Skadden Arps 100M Willkie Farr 100M A&O Shearman 125M Kirkland & Ellis 125M Latham & Watkins 125M Simpson Thacher 125M

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down. Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

I know this is woke DEI, but could we have a national economic policy that's something other than the minute-by-minute whims of a deranged and malevolent old man?

Just a legal historian here reminding everyone that “high crimes and misdemeanors” do not need to be felonies. They can include political abuses and stupidity, like, hypothetically, destroying the economy and wiping out people’s savings in 3 days.

Trump’s Tariff Formula Slammed As ‘Fake’ And ‘Incredibly Stupid’ By Experts

🚨Georgetown University Law Center students are detailing which law firms have caved and which have stood up to the Trump regime. They have created this spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Please share widely.

So, which is it? If this info wasn’t classified, that in itself would be a scandalous screw-up that must be explained. And if it was classified, then the Trump administration lied to Congress and to the American people.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Here are some nice mushrooms

An outlier in the media world. Respect!

@dodgersbot.bsky.social Are you still represented by Paul Weiss? Drop them and find a new law firm.

Here are some nice mushrooms

“The first thing we do? Kill all the lawyers.” Paul Weiss: “Would you like my knife?”

One of my tweets criticizing Paul Weiss is in this @rawstory.com article. I am incredibly angry, saddened and embarrassed by their capitulation to authoritarianism. www.rawstory.com/paul-weiss/

So disappointing! Soulless cowards. Paul Weiss obeys in advance.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

From interview of Lee Bollinger, 1st Amendment scholar who served as dean of @UMichLaw, president of @UMich, and president of Columbia University. www.chronicle.com/article/were...

The president is essentially saying any media outlets that don't express overt fealty to him will be subject to investigation and prosecution -- and he's doing this in the Justice Department's headquarters.

"Listen this IS, in fact how it’s done."

Exactly @georgetownlaw.bsky.social

Waiting for Georgetown Law students to respond with a letter of their own, saying they have no intention of working for him. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Honestly, the best response would be for Georgetown Law to explain that diversity, equity, and inclusion are values promoted by Catholic teaching, and they don't appreciate the U.S. attorney demanding they eliminate their religious principles from their curriculum. His head would explode.

Time to donate to my alma mater. Couldn’t be more proud. Hoya Saxa!

Martin has repeatedly violated the oath he took to uphold the Constitution—not just the parts of it he likes—and should be removed from office. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

What an incredibly incompetent clown. Maybe he should have thought about the (patently obvious) effect of tariffs on the auto industry *before* imposing them? He’s like a monkey on a keyboard.

Senator Elissa Slotkin, a first-term Democrat from Michigan, delivered a simple message as her party’s official response to President Trump’s combative address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night: Trump, she said, was “going to make you pay in every part of your life.”

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?
