"There is no justification for a regressive system in which the super-rich contribute less than the rest of us," write @josephestiglitz.bsky.social, @gabrielzucman.bsky.social, and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social.

For me, a big “aha” moment in law school was when I realized that every year, the handful of normal, median-ish guys (they were all guys) who would land huge clerkships seemingly out of nowhere were all officers in the student FedSoc chapter

The fact that we haven't been electing our leaders via popular vote all these years is so incredibly damning. Every vote should have the same weight, or every individual is not equal in the eyes of the state.

everyone involved in the dismantling of USAID should be forced to spend their lives watching graphic videos of what they have subjected people to in their callousness, clockwork orange style

Vance: "I think it’s very, very important for the pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology.” "Vance’s arrogance-to-achievement has always been staggeringly high ..., but it’s hard to top this." www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/04/area...

Any news article that does not characterize DOJ's new report on FACE Act enforcement as a 4th-rate political hit job by Stephen Miller acolytes trying to make the self-evidently absurd case that Biden weaponized the DOJ is not worth reading. Read this instead: www.justsecurity.org/136275/separ...

Just as a very general rule, when a Supreme Court pundit writes the sort of book about the Supreme Court that a sitting Supreme Court justice feels comfortable promoting in public, you should be skeptical of everything else that Supreme Court pundit says about the Supreme Court, forever

"if the Democrats had just *calmed tf down* in 2020 and *let Trump* be a normal two-termer ..." Jesus Motherfucking Christ. If the Ds had just capitulated to T's tantrum and "let him win" an election he lost, etc. This stupid man teaches at Temple. www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/04/see-...

Talking about Donald Trump having dementia just gives a sympathetic excuse for inexcusable preexisting conditions. Donald has *always* been a mean, self-centered, incoherent fool who says stupid and ignorant things.

Rick Scott, who works for the government, says all government does is mess up your life.

The massive Orban defeat should prompt Dems to align themselves more firmly with anti-fascist and pro-democracy forces abroad. There's a powerful link to be drawn between the celebrations in Budapest and the confrontations with ICE in Minneapolis. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2090...

Pamela Jo should be testifying under oath today before House Oversight about the Epstein Files, but she is intentionally ignoring her subpoena. I mean, as far back as Feb. 2025, Pamela Jo was hellbent on getting justice per the below Facebook post. Let’s get the contempt process started, shall we?

None of the American Orbán fans know much about Hungary. What matters to them is an imaginary place called “Hungary” – which they imagine as a stronghold of white patriarchal Christianity, where men still get to be real men and punish the “wokes” and the “globalists.”

"banging on the 25th amendment drum is a good thing to do: Not because Trump can actually be removed that way, but because making the invocation of the amendment a topic of discussion among Very Serious People is a big win in regard to the de-legitimation that needs to be happening ...."

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did on J6 🩸🩸🩸 THIS IS WHAT AN INSURRECTION LOOKS LIKE ⬇️⬇️⬇️

I greatly appreciate Zeteo.com following up on the Gestapo ICE / CBP invasion here in Minnesota. They’re a bit quieter (sneakier) now but they haven’t stopped! Abolish these thug agencies and prosecute their illegal activities to the fullest. No mercy. (and thanks Zeteo)

How is every follow up question to Trump not, "What the fuck are you talking about?"

Abolish and prosecute. ICE must be destroyed

Two points: 1. If Orban conceded defeat (he did), he's plainly a bigger man than T. 2. Vance is as useless tits on a boar, as we used to say in the South. (Fake hillbilly Vance may not be familiar with that saying.) www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/04/orba...

We don’t need to normalize evidence-free lies & extremist views by going on the podcasts & we don’t need to normalize those things by giving the lying extremists large honoraria to speak on our campuses in special bypass-regular-rules platforms. Other, more serious choices are readily available.

Making tenure count, for MSNOW I wrote about my employer, The University of Iowa, creating a center for intellectual freedom. It's a reactionary project built on decades of conservative propaganda about higher ed.

😡 Kamala was right. These are not serious people.

This is the massive turnout for last night’s “anti regime” concert in Heroes Square, Budapest, ahead of tomorrow’s crucial Hungarian elections. Tens of thousands chanted “Russians go home”. #Orban

My sentiment today.

J. D. Vance's "God of our fathers" is "the God of reactionary Christianity, and reactionary Christianity, especially in its current politically weaponized form, is the enemy. ... You can have a liberal democracy or...an illiberal theocracy," but not both. www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/04/chri...

I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.

What the 2024 presidential candidates looked like today.

Space stuff is cool. We should do somewhat less war stuff and somewhat more space stuff. Artemis II is $4bn per launch, roughly the cost of 2-4 days of War in Iran. What if we did not do War in Iran, but instead did cool space stuff?

Keep in mind that everywhere ICE is, your local police have failed you, and abandoned their oath to serve and protect. Zero Ice officers have been arrested. They assault, the kidnap, they kill, and they all walk free. Your local police treat ICE as above the law. The betrayal of duty is staggering.

A book about Prince Andrew is coming out next week that contains a quote from Epstein "in which he said he had carnal knowledge of Melania before she ever met Donald Trump." Melania held a press conference yesterday to deny that. The Streisand Effect is the GOP's "Lucy holding the football."

ICE is a domestic terrorist organization. Abolish and prosecute
