It’s important to remember there are two scandals here:

1. The Administration has likely committed war crimes.

2. But the entire operation - which now includes two dozen attacks - is illegal. In our democracy, the President CANNOT wage war without the consent of the people.

The EU has slapped a fine on Musk's X because it is untransparent and supports deceptive practices. Nothing to do with "censorship."

The Texas House has passed Trump’s GOP redistricting map 88-52 after a seven-hour debate. Final passage expected later.

Over to you, Governor Newsom. And NY. And all blue states if they’re up for it.

Should cheaters win? Let’s hear the answer.

Military officers shifted to prosecute local D.C. crimes amid Trump takeover Members of the Judge Advocate General Corps are set to join the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia.

People kept hand-wringing or tut-tutting about calling Trump a fascist, but it’s pretty obvious now.

It is absolutely insane that the New York Times is granting anonymity to famous extremist race science activists in order for them to launch political attacks. More than the anonymity, the complete lack of relevant context here is egregious.

Trump Is Suddenly Raging at Tucker Carlsonβ€”and MAGA Is Deeply Rattled Is opposition to β€œforever wars” really a core pillar of MAGA Republicanism? Looks like we’re about to find out.

We keep hearing credulous pundits say MAGA is "antiwar." So how many MAGA Republicans will support the new resolution requiring Trump to get congressional authorization for war with Iran?

This resolution is important. People should pay attention to it. 1/

A Swingin’ Surprise or Two The best-kept secret in the history of Marvel Comics was in high dudgeon by the time he sat down at his typewriter. It was a July afternoon in 1971, and Ron Whyte, a playwright and activist, was about...

Me and @zachrabiroff.com have discovered that a gay, disabled, pill-popping Yale Drama grad likely ghostwrote many of Stan Lee's most famous comics

Marvel Comics and Disney don't want you to know about Ron Whyte

I could tell you the Constitution limits a president to a maximum of two terms

But then, it also states that all persons who reside in America are entitled to due process and enshrines birthright citizenship as foundational US law

And this also means nothing to Trump

So draw your own conclusions

Two major law firms fight back against Trump orders seen as retribution Two major law firms are suing the Trump administration. They're asking a judge to block executive orders that punish them because of their clients and the lawyers that they hired.

Hey, I got on All Things Considered:

WALTER OLSON: It is so central to being able to be a good lawyer… to be fearless and to be able to go up against the most powerful interests of which the most powerful is the federal government. And if they can't do that, what can they do for their client?
