Well, a serious news outlet would want to interview Vance precisely during this war!

It's not the Golden Age that Trump trumpeted in the SOTU. It's a Gilded Age, and judging by the volume of litigation, America is fighting it tooth and nail. Lawsuits now up from 670 to 679 in a tracker I cited in this @thebulwark.com piece published just Tuesday. www.thebulwark.com/p/can-lawsui...

Rep. Nancy Mace: "I believe Pam Bondi has been less than truthful with the American people and Congress on the Epstein files. I want to know where the files are that were on her desk, because they're not in the hands of Congress ... I want to know why this is continuing to be covered up."

Guardian US opinion: Good riddance to Kristi Noem. Her replacement won’t be an improvement.

Rarely is the interruption in a time series this obvious. Monthly jobs under Biden & Harris vs. monthly jobs under Trump & Vance.

Host: The jobs report is weaker than expected. And it paints a certain type of deterioration that I wouldn't have expected.

Together, with your help, we will win this Senate seat.

Censoring Courses Isn’t the Law in Texas. Public Universities Are Doing It Anyway. Teaching restrictions were removed from Senate Bill 37 after “relentless” lobbying, but board members and administrators have since enacted strikingly similar requirements.

Say it plain: This is a terrible jobs report.

The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, nearly double the expected loss of 50,000. It’s the third payroll decline in the past five months.

📌Note: This is one of the worst monthly payroll drops since Covid.

You know sh*t's getting real in higher ed when you've got contested elections for the Faculty Senate.

Every board certified doctor in America (this does not include you, Casey Means😉) has forgotten more about nutrition than RFK Jr. has ever known.

Molly Jolly is a great name.

Yep. They'll never change.

The Bygone Era of Supreme Court Support for Voting Rights Sixty years after upholding the Voting Rights Act, the Court has dismantled most of it.

Tomorrow marks the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama. It also marks the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Court first upholding the Voting Rights Act.

We have gotten so, so far away from a Court that cares about democracy.

New from me at @brennancenter.org:

The two men on the top row have Ivy League degrees.
The two people on the bottom row do not.
We have to redefine where you get an elite education from in this country.
Ivy League social networks are destroying our nation & the world.

Democrats should reintroduce War Powers Resolution ASAP in Congress. Could at least force Republicans to explain why they're not open to putting any limitations at all on a megalomaniacal war leader.

Brent Crude over $90. When it hits $100 MAGA GOP's will light their hair on fire

Undaunted Trump ditches Noem — and allies refuse to support the war

Trump can be forced to retreat when Democrats go on attack, embarrass his incompetent and dishonest lackeys, and effectively deploy free media. That’s a strategy to be used again and again. My suggestion for the next Cabinet member: Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Some folks on the left told you you shouldn’t vote for @kamalaharris.com. They had a role in producing this.

Oops. I guess Speaker Mike Johnson's reassurance yesterday that it's not a war, only a "limited operation," is no longer operative.

Newly published Epstein files reveal allegations that Trump sexually assaulted an adolescent girl.

The woman alleges Trump forced her to perform oral sex when she was around 13 years old, then struck her after she bit his penis.
