Check out my @notusperspectives.bsky.social piece: "While MAGA-aligned elected officials attempt to galvanize their base through digital and political theater, most Americans are […] focused on keeping food on the table, a roof over their heads and their families safe." www.notus.org/perspectives

(🧵/ 2) The Society for the Rule of Law Institute condemns the president’s treatment of U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert, his weaponization of the Justice Department, and those attorneys in his service who have betrayed their oaths and ethical obligations to enable this conduct.

Great write-up by @marionicolais.bsky.social in @ColoradoSun.bsky.social about the @PrinciplesFirst.bsky.social Denver dinner! @judgeluttig.bsky.social reminding us integrity and the rule of law still matter.

It’s not easy these days to single out the worst of the worst appointments, but certainly the elevation of the thuggish Emil Bove to the federal appellate bench has to rank right up there. Other churls and chodes will come and go, but federal judges are forever. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

JAG leaders warn: the risk of militarizing society and politicizing the military pose a direct threat to our democracy, as armed troops are deployed to our streets and plans are underway to divert more National Guard JAG officers to immigration enforcement. www.thebulwark.com/p/dangerous-...

Years of lucrative Army contracts explain why Palantir, of all companies, was one of the sponsors of Trump’s Army parade last weekend. And why a Palantir executive has been made a lieutenant colonel. Not great.

Helicopters. Armed troops wearing masks. All for a freaking military-grade raid at a flea market that appears to have resulted in two measly arrests. DHS and ICE are out of control. ktla.com/news/local-n...

Imagine your signature action as President being something nobody wants and won’t work, but that you try anyway only to drive the global economy into paralysis. After it fails, you start to backtrack—only for a court to say you didn’t even have authority to do it at all. Awful.

Is this a presidential press conference or a scene from Veep?

Honor their sacrifice not just with words, but by living as a people and nation worthy of their legacy.

We are saddened by the passing of Congressman Gerry Connolly. His unwavering dedication to public service and commitment to democracy left a lasting mark on Northern Virginia. Condolences to his family, staff, and the community.

Talked with @rickpildes.bsky.social at the @principlesfirst.bsky.social NYC Dinner: "I believe in supporting organizations that are standing up for the Rule of Law, that are doing it in a bipartisan way, that bring in Independents, R's, D's..." Thank you, Rick! youtube.com/shorts/rXQAl...

The Qataris fund the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas—and Republicans have long excoriated Democrats for getting anywhere close to them. Yet Trump has just taken their large luxury palace jet. The hypocrisy is astounding. Americans need to ask: how is any of this helping them?

Unlike some of his predecessors in the Holy See, Pope Leo’s message has been unambiguous and direct. As recently as February, he was calling out JD Vance for distorting Christian doctrine: open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Russia’s war on Ukraine targets faiths not aligned with Moscow. A ‘Faith Under Siege’ sheds light on this issue. If you’re in the DC area, don’t miss the screening on May 6th!

This is of course bizarre and crazy, but since it's the US's National Security Council, it's not something to read and just say, "wow, that's just nuts!" THIS insanity shouldn't just scare Americans. Given the power of the US it should scare the whole world. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
