Pam Bondi has a lot to say about hate speech and the First Amendment after Charlie Kirk’s murder. The problem is, everything she says is flat-out wrong under controlling Supreme Court law. Why she needs to go back to law school is in today’s write-up, in the replies.

Reining in Rogue Presidents How ambiguities in the law gave Trump power he could seizeβ€”and what a future Congress can do about it.

All of these excesses can be reined in, if not entirely eliminated, by Congressβ€”or at least by a Congress not under Donald Trump’s thumb. All it needs is the wisdom to recognize its own crucial role in creating this problem. www.thebulwark.com/p/reining-in...

Charlie Kirk: Joe Biden should be "put in prison and/or given the death penalty for crimes against America"

I hadn’t seen this. Kirk, the moderate free speech guy who did politics the right way per some liberals (!), called for Biden to be executed.

Meanwhile Joe Biden put out a very strong statement condemning Kirk’s killing.

Both sides!

In an Era of Deep Polarization, Unity Is Not Trump’s Mission

Who was arrested in Trump's D.C. crime emergency? We analyzed 1,273 records. The 1,273 arrest records reviewed by The Post offer an up-close, on-the-ground look at how the police surge has played out on the city's streets.

On President Trump’s orders, thousands of local police, federal agents and troops have fanned out across the nation’s capital making arrests.

But the 1,273 arrest records reviewed by The Post offer an up-close look at how the police surge has played out.

On MTP, @petebuttigieg.bsky.social responds to Trump on the Kirk shooting:

"We have to reject anyone who would try to exploit political violence. The response to this cannot be... to crack down on individuals or groups not because of violence, but because they challenge the government politically."

One of the saddest things is when children have cancer, immune deficiency or need bone marrow or organ transplants.

And to add insult to injury, they’re unable to receive vaccines.

But YOU can do your part to help protect them by immunizing yourself & your family.

We are ALL in this together.

Trump is pledging full support to Texas after its deadly floods – and rightfully so.

But California has yet to receive $40 billion in aid to rebuild from January’s devastating wildfires.

A president is supposed to govern for all Americans – not just those who voted for him.

Humiliated by China, Harvard, Elon Musk, and the federal courts, Trump has launched a war inside America on vulnerable people inside America.

Like any bully, Trump is fundamentally a coward.

Trump’s Immigration Policy Is a Failure Built on Lies A policy at war with the truth is doomed to fail.

The administration just hasn’t been able to find those thousands of criminal aliens they claimed were rampaging throughout the nation. Like so many other themes Trump campaigned on, the plague of immigrant crime was a fiction.

Trump’s Science Policies Pose Long-Term Risk, Economists Warn Since World War II, U.S. research funding has led to discoveries that fueled economic gains. Now cutbacks are seen as putting that legacy in jeopardy.

The wrecking ball Trump is taking to funding of science and health research will set back our country for decades. Our national support for this research has resulted in new industries and medical breakthroughs.
