We would be better off but more importantly the world would be better off if we had Carney and they had Trump.

Where’s the lie?

Proud to work at @Jenner&Block. Thank you for the support we have received from amici across the legal community.

South Korean court upholds President Yoon's impeachment over martial law order President Yoon Suk Yeol’s brief martial law declaration and subsequent impeachment trial have deeply divided South Korea, a key U.S. ally.

The Importance of Judicial Contempt Proceedings in a Trump Era Among the many peculiar characteristics of the recently elected President is Donald Trump’s unwillingness to follow the ordinary and established norms of the office of President.  In some cases, these...

Agree it’s a delicate balance. Art not science. But there is a point where careful can become feckless. Boasberg is not near that point. Still, as some point personalizing penalties for order flouting is essential.

Democrats Like Chuck Schumer Must Fight Trump's Authoritarianism Every Time. Schumer surrendered one of the only chances Democrats have to stop Trump's agenda in this session of Congress. 38 Senate Dems voted against the GOP government funding bill, but Schumer didn't lead the...

My latest: Trump Is An Authoritarian. Dems Must Fight Him Every Time. Chuck Schumer Must Go. Schumer surrendered one of the only legislative opportunities Democrats have to stop Donald Trump's authoritarian agenda.

Um, is Schumer aware of this??

As someone who was skeptical of @AOC initially, I fully admit that she seems more than most others to be meeting the moment. She has a pulse on the public that people like Chuck Schumer simply do not have.

AOC should announce a primary against Schumer tonight.

Leader Jeffries and @maxwellfrost.bsky.social are La Résistance.

Let’s hope Senate Ds are not Vichy.

This is a time when you’re either Vichy or La Résistance.

Speaker Emerita Pelosi is plainly La Résistance.

We shall see what Senate Dems are.

In what book is Blatt liberal. I can tell you that with tribes if Blatt is involved she’s never on the tribal side. She’s on the corporate interest side. She’s on the underline human rights side. Not so liberal to me. This stance from Blatt is no surprise.

Rahm is the last person any serious Dem should support. He wholly deprioritized judges when Obama’s COS—ceding the courts to Rs. Utterly disastrous tenure as Mayor. He is textbook example of failing up and what is wrong with the Democratic Party. We need fresh, less cynical, more visionary leaders.

This is what capitulation and surrender to #Putin looks like. Incredible. Putin is a Soviet admiring chaos instigating figure and the US has just surrendered to Putin.

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

Austrian Parties Reach Deal to Form Government Without Far Right The announcement was a victory for mainstream political parties, after earlier talks involving the hard-right Freedom Party broke down.

Breaking News: Three mainstream political parties in Austria have agreed to form a government that excludes the far-right Freedom Party.

Musk claims DOGE ‘restored’ Ebola prevention effort. Officials disagree. USAID’s initiatives to fight Ebola and other diseases have been gutted, current and former agency officials said.

Elon Musk said DOGE made a mistake by cutting USAID’s Ebola prevention but it had been “restored.”

That’s not true, current and former officials told me and @johnphudson.bsky.social.

“There have been no efforts to ‘turn on’” Ebola prevention, said Nidhi Bouri, who oversaw team until January.

Basically complete capitulation and surrender.

Trump and Hegseth are rewarding Putin for his aggression. It’s incredibly ill advised because it will merely invite additional lawless aggression.

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: “Friday we learned that last year, Kash Patel was paid $25,000 by a Russian propaganda operation to attack the FBI… what could possibly go wrong?”

Witkoff seems the very embodiment of hubris and ignorance. Many peoples around the world—including many Americans of all types in the interior West—have a particular relationship to a place that is sacred to them. Palestinians do as well. So the idea that they can settle elsewhere will be anathema.

I’m sorry this seems like a stupid argument. He’s the richest man in the world why would he need to steal money? Occam’s Razor.

They want to control money to cripple programs that help people. Maybe to enrich others. But to suggest he’s stealing for himself is so easily made to look alarmists.

The power this and any court has to stand for rule of law is to personalize the consequences of wrongdoing through contempt powers. Order DOGE head Musk to appear in court or send out the marshals. Detain under civil contempt until compliance is guaranteed.

I’m sorry but this is a grossly simplistic, uninformed point of view.

All major UN institutions dealing with human rights has bad actors.

The Trump Administration's Brazen Duplicity in its “Human Rights Agenda” The State Department says it will now “pursue a robust human rights agenda" in the General Assembly and Security Council rather than the UN Human Rights Council. Ambassador Harper writes, "If the prin...

It was a mistake when Haley did as I wrote then.

While unsurprising, this withdrawal is ill advised. The Council has flaws but ceding it to Russia and China is a grotesque error for human rights.

Not surprising. Empowering the inexperienced is not a bug, it’s a feature. These individuals in an ordinary world would never amass this kind of power. So they owe their allegiance to Elon and Trump. They will be the ultimate yes men.

We cannot hope that these companies will act courageously or expect that they will do so. We have to draw lines of what we will do in response. We have agency.

As a lifelong 60 Minutes watcher, if Paramount capitulates, I will not watch the show nor anything on Paramount.

Pilots in the r/flying community are saying similar things.

One regional jet pilot:

“This would be the very FIRST place I would expect this to happen”
