Exactly don’t accept their framing, condemn them for falsely portraying his positions. In any case, his policies are a matter for the people of NY not whatever paid political propagandist is yapping on Fox.

I hope everyone feels safer knowing the AG is personally devoting her attention to prosecuting a guy who thew a sandwich at police. [I suspect she may have started a movement, though] x.com/gtconway3d/s...

Don’t know how many times we have to say it:

Social Security is an EARNED benefit.

We must protect it for the generations to come.

Bonus 172: Legal Pedagogy and the Dual State The beginning of the new academic year raises an acute version of an age-old question: how much should law professors teach the law on the ground versus (or in addition to) the law on the books?

To what extent should law school classes be focused on the law on the ground as compared to the law on the books?

Today’s bonus issue of β€œOne First” looks at this age-old pedagogical questionβ€”and how it’s taken on special significance (& importance) in the fraught moment in which we find ourselves:

A trial has been going on this week in SF that will set the stage for the ground rules for the ICE agents' conduct. @klasfeldreports.com has been following it closely. I'll be going live w/ Adam on the Talking Feds substack-- harrylitman.substack.com--at 6:15 PM ET to talk about it and what's next.

Thanx to whoever it was on here who recommended checking out books or DVDs from your local library so it continues to get funding. Even if you don't finish the books and DVDs. (We got "Cabaret" and a Nigerian cookbook today.)

Democratically elected…she works for Fox. At the end of the day, Democrats want the 2 party system and Trump’s current coalition doesn’t.

The Trump administration has eliminated parts of the Social Security call service to mask increased wait and processing times.
Callers will no longer be informed of wait times while on hold, callback wait times, and processing times for benefits,

Trump’s Revenge Campaign Has a Weakness Prosecuting his enemies is turning out to be more difficult than he’d hopedβ€”at least for now.

Donald Trump’s plan to leverage the Department of Justice against his enemies β€œis not generating the results he might have hoped for,” Quinta Jurecic argues. American criminal law appears to be a less flexible tool than he’d hopedβ€”at least for now.

Putin has arrived in Alaska, and there he is 100% being welcomed as an important guest. A dictator who started the biggest war since the end of World War II, who killed and tortured hundreds of thousands of people, who abducted tens of thousands of children, is still being received as a guest.

Establishing that we indeed will have democratic candidates for 2028 is itself a victory against the trial balloons from Trump about remaining a dictator for life.

Any time anyone brings up whatever new shit Meta is up to, I think it's important to remember this is the evolution of a system created to non-consensually compare the relative attractiveness of teenagers.

Everything follows from that.

Taking photos and video of law enforcement officers performing their duties in public is our constitutional right.

This includes police, FBI, National Guard troops, ICE agents, and other government officials.
