“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

US Magistrate Judge Vaala trying to untangle Lindsey Halligan's first adventure in indicting someone:

Absolutely disgusting. How can be people be so callous and depraved to even think like this?

Trump: "The line is that I'm a dictator, but I stop crime. So a lot of people say, 'You know, if that's the case, I'd rather have a dictator.'"

From "highly CONFLICTED" to "Highly Respected" in just weeks — and all it took was for him to give away 10% of his company

Inside the movement that freed gay makeup artist Andry Hernández Romero from a hellhole The U.S. government under Trump tried to disappear a gay Venezuelan man seeking asylum to a torture prison in El Salvador indefinitely. A coalition of Americans didn’t let them.

Their poll numbers must be shit, man.

The “party of limited government” 😒

when RFK says he wants to “end chronic disease,” what people hear is “he wants to cure us” but what he means is “i want to cull the weak”

Those "rogue judges" were acting under an express grant of authority provided by Congress—one explicitly permitted by Article II of the Constitution, which says Congress can give the judiciary power to appoint inferior officers.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Trump on Powell: “I was surprised he was appointed” (Trump appointed him)

Damn, I was so close.

Re: stripping citizenship, look. There is no legal mechanism for him to do it. The very fact that he is talking about it tells you, yet again, what he is. He’s an aspiring totalitarian who wants absolute power over people’s lives and to use it to reward friends and punish enemies. That’s really it.

The New York Times was more skeptical of the academic qualifications of a black woman who had secured tenure and become the president of Harvard than they were of a white man who washed out of a grad program with a massive scandal and then became a white nationalist troll.

Just to state the stupidly obvious: This is treatment the United States has subjected HUNDREDS of men to without trial or process, the vast majority of whom have no criminal record of any kind. (Not, of course, that it would be acceptable if they did.)

No ambiguity. He just straight-up shot this reporter.

I couldn’t write a more eye-opening lecture on race and white identity politics than what this administration is offering in its differential treatment of Afrikaners versus every other refugee or immigrant group.

Opinion | How Will We Know When We Have Lost Our Democracy?

Great opinion article in NYT by Levitsky, Way, and Ziblatt.

Move the World Cup, the Olympics, and every international meeting out of the U.S.

It is not safe to come here until conditions change. That's not alarmist. That's the reality we are looking at. It's never been like this my whole, getting to be longish, life.

Madrid’s Biggest Landlord? U.S. Investment Firms As private equity firms assert control over much of Spain’s housing, thousands face the threat of eviction.

Over the past decade, the U.S. private equity firm Blackstone has become Madrid’s largest private owner of residential real estate, and the second largest in all of Spain.

As someone who experienced threats and harassment from armed extremists for over a decade, I have empathy for anyone who feels afraid of retaliation for free speech. But at the end of the day, we all must make a choice: back down or double down.

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism.

1. It’s not a disease
2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.
