Comey Indictment Shows Danger of Subservient Prosecutors The political prosecution of a presidential enemy has left the government with a seemingly unwinnable case β€” and a justice system tainted by politics.

Halligan may have obtained the indictment the president wanted, but it...one thing to get a grand jury to indict. Getting a conviction is an entirely different matter. New from me for @brennancenter.org A discussion of the flawed Comey indictment. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

ICYMI. Jacob Chansley (aka QAnon Shaman) filed a $40 TRILLION lawsuit against Trump and others. The complaint is nearly impossible to find, but I found it. Here it is: drive.google.com/file/d/1v5m7...

Why Jimmy Kimmel’s First Amendment rights weren’t violated – but ABC’s would be protected if it stood up to the FCC and Trump Think you know what the First Amendment means and protects? You βˆ’ and a lot of Jimmy Kimmel’s defenders βˆ’ may well be wrong.

Jimmy Kimmel's defenders called his suspension an attack on the First Amendment; one said it was the most "straightforward attack on free speech from state actors I’ve ever seen." Is it? @profunger.bsky.social explains what the 1st Amendment does/doesn't protect theconversation.com/why-jimmy-ki...

I’ve passionately disagreed w/ Kirk on almost everything. But I respect his right to say it. As an American value, we must not, we cannot, allow violence to creep into our free speech & civic dialogue. We do not shoot those who we disagree with; rather, we must engage w/ respectful civil discussion.

Dems Leadership wasted an opportunity to rebrand the Big Beautiful Bill when it was under consideration by Congress.

Big Barbaric Bill
Big Betrayal Bill
Big Bad Bill
Bad Backwards Bill
Blatant Bankrupt Bill
Brutally Barbaric Bill

Anything would have been better, but Dems were MIA.

The Big Beautiful Bill appropriated $100M to β€œfund accounting efficiencies in the Executive Branch.”

Seems inefficient to me.

If I recall correctly, a recent Quinnipiac poll has the approval rating for Dem leadership below 20%.

I’m not surprised given how they are MIA.

support of white supremacists, slow responses to natural disasters, β€œthey’re eating dogs”, assassinating foreign leaders, blotched pandemic response, wrongful / illegal deportations, and a lot more…

Oh, Professor Ilan Wurman. His myopic tendency blinds well establish contrary precedent.

Just two weeks ago, SCOTUS "reaffirmed" the Susan B. Anthony List precedent in Mahmoud v. Taylor.

I remember sitting on a rooftop in Manhattan talking to an HBO Max marketer who was stoked about the rebrand to Maxβ€”trying to convince me how big of a deal it was.

Welp. I wonder if she still works there.

HBO Max is back.

The unpredictability in Trump’s Tariffs policy must be driving executives crazy. You simply cannot run your business with such unpredictability.

I wonder how many of Trump’s wealthy friends bought stocks when the market dropped off the cliff, just to hold, and then sell following his β€œpause” knowing what he was going to do.

False.

American federalism divides power between the national and state governments.

It’s the basis of our system of government.

Remarkable how states rights has suddenly vanished…

My uncle presented a great idea tonight. All sellers of goods should post the total price of a good on the price tag (with the tariffs) AND the total price of the good *without* the tariffs imposed. Then Americans can see for themselves how much they will be paying as a result from Trump.
