Joanne Freeman

She…is being confronted by both sides…..and not responding well.

Not even by yelling about the Dow.

“Find your spines.” 🦴 Tammy Duckworth just issued a brutal challenge to every Republican in Congress: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-lost...

Not only will they steal my work, but they’ll steal my skills as well?

A member of the community came up with it!

i’ll just keep posting variations on elementary human decency, not that it matters

MAGA watching 20 more $5 million missiles launch while they start a GoFundMe to buy paper towels and toothpaste.

75 years ago, the 22nd Amendment was ratified.

It’s a good day to remember what the 22nd Amendment ratified: that presidents are limited to TWO terms in office.

No exceptions.

One thing Bill Whitaker is gonna do on @60minutes.bsky.social is report the truth. Whoever’s in charge.

Especially coming on the heels of Justice Thomas’ recent remarks about “incivility,” this report on the uniquely vicious and menacing attacks on lower federal court judges is important.

CNN put together a montage of the regime's incoherent talking points about Trump's war on Iran

Judge nixes latest policy requiring 7 days' notice for Congress members to visit ICE facilities A judge is temporarily suspending the latest version of a Trump administration policy that requires members of Congress to provide a week’s notice before they can visit immigration detention facilitie...

BREAKING: As I was first to report earlier, Trump has nominated Bradford Wilson, who does not meet the statutory requirements—which include that the nominee be nonpartisan and professionally qualified—to be the next Archivist of the United States.

Wow. The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem tells Americans they’re on their own.

Trump's Iran War and the Article One crisis Congress's refusal to do its job is now the world's problem.

New in PN: Trump's Iran War and the Article One crisis

"Unless and until the GOP acknowledges that the country is in the grip of a madman bent on consolidating all constitutional power in him and him alone, Trump is free to singlehandedly decide to go to war. That's not how it's supposed to work."

The President says we’re at war with Iran.

Americans deserve a debate and vote in Congress.

Kash Patel’s latest firings ousted agents with expertise in Iran The FBI director gutted a specialized, global espionage unit of counterintelligence agents, just days before Operation Epic Fury.

TERRIBLE TIMING: When FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen FBI agents and staff last week for their role in the classified documents investigation of Donald Trump, he targeted an elite counter espionage unit that investigates threats from foreign adversaries and specializes in Iran.

Last night I discussed the lack of a cohesive reason for the war, little knowing about this “reason.”

I’d say “holy crap,” but I’ll avoid “holy” for now.

She was arrested for standing up during the SotU and this is the first I’m hearing of it? 🫠

Yup.

Excellent!!

Every episode of Freeman After Dark (on YouTube) ends with historian Joanne Freeman showing her can of Chutzpah and her whistle.

So I bought a bag of whistles to hand out next time I go protest!

If you aren’t following her on Bluesky, you should! @jbf1755.bsky.social

BREAKING: I just spoke to President Trump he said you’ll find soon what the retaliation will be for the attack on the U.S. embassy in Riyadh and for the U.S. service members killed. He also told me he doesn’t think boots on the ground will be necessary.

notable that Trump's media strategy to sell this war is doing bespoke phone conversations with individual reporters instead of answering questions publicly

Wow.

Based on the comments, a good deal of Game Of Thrones unhappiness. I’m totally in the dark.

Why?…

That’s the only thing I know about it. And I’m scared already.

Don’t remember that. I liked Downton Abbey.

Watching Game of Thrones—probably the last person not to watch it.

Lots of beheading.

But I’m still in the mix…

honestly, this goes in the war crimes prosecution file, a pretty clear declaration that the mission is not guided by rules rooted in the law of armed conflict

Mark Warner: "I saw no intelligence that Iran was on the verge of launching any kind of preemptive strike against the United States. None."

Tweet from Ryan Grim: "Understand what Neera is arguing for here: she thinks that no Democratic candidate should appear on any podcast where a host has flirted with conspiracy theories around Charlie Kirk and Israel. I don't think she understands how many podcasts that includes. And if you make the opposite argument, and say no, actually, tens of millions of people love those shows, Democrats should be on them, she says I'm "defending anti-semitic conspiracy podcasters." The good news is that this stuff doesn't work anymore. Save your breath, nobody cares."

I really don't think "There are so many antisemitic podcasts out there that you just can't help but appear on them" is the defense they think it is.

Crow: "Friday night, Trump filmed this tough video where he talked about the cost of war & how hard it's gonna be & how we're gonna lose troops, then he literally went behind the curtain & hosted a million dollar a plate dinner & dance party at Mar-a-Lago. That tells you everything you need to know"
