Bibi was able to take the tactical defeat of 10/7, which, for a brief moment, engendered an almost unprecedented international support for Israel, and turn it into the most consequential strategic defeat (by his own standards) in Israel's history.

At this point, I don’t think journalism is going to save us. You had the chance and you chose the show over democracy. May God bless the United States of America.

And this happened after widespread elite applause for a party-line Supreme Court decision holding that Biden exceeded his constitutional authority by modifying student loan payments based on a statute authorizing the Secretary of Education to "waive or modify student loan payments"

@cortezmasto.senate.gov & @senjackyrosen.govpeeps.us, do you regret voting with Republicans to spike the highly qualified judicial nominee Judge Mangi, a Muslim American nominated by Biden who was subjected to a racist smear campaign?

Let us all know, please. This is why we have Emil Bove.

The #1 way to explain America working properly is by saying β€œcomedians can make fun of he President on TV.” A good way to explain fascism is β€œthe President forces companies to fire those comedians as a condition of allowing them to conduct business.”

Garland v. Texas Top Cop Shop

Near the end of the Biden years, Elizabeth Prelogar asked the Supreme Court to rein in nationwide injunctions in a low-stakes case where a Republican judge/Fifth Circuit blocked an act of Congress from applying to anyone anywhere.

They declined and took up Trump’s patently illegal order instead.

Multiple Trump White House officials have ties to antisemitic extremists NPR has identified three Trump administration officials with close ties to antisemitic extremists, including a prominent Holocaust denier.

The antisemites in the White Houseβ€”who talk of Good Jews and Bad Jews, do Nazi salutes, push white nationalist conspiracy theories, and dine with open Jew hatersβ€”are not fighting antisemitism.

That is merely the bad faith BS they’re using as cover for trying to crush higher education.

Not subtle.

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

My big takeaway from tonight’s DC Bar president candidates Q&A is that Pam Bondi’s brother is exactly who you think he is, and it’s very important that DC lawyers cast our votes for @whatajlp.bsky.social by the 6/4 deadline. Search your email for β€œVote Today in the D.C. Bar Election” and do it now.

A screenshot from the CDC website showing that the National Firefighter Registry for Cancer is closed

The entirety of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health was wiped out last night in a form letter sent by RFK Jr.

NIOSH is an agency in the CDC that investigates workplace hazards and finds solutions. It protects workers, so it’s gone. Even firefighters.

How can something "first be reported by the Washington Post" if the Post "cited work by an independent journalist" who reported it first?

How hard is it to just give credit to @marisakabas.bsky.social?

When a person is abducted, there's a number to call to report & identify. A habeas petition challenging the abduction is electronically filed in that district, by a lawyer admitted in that district, within 30 minutes of the call. Anywhere in the country, 24 hours a day.

Nothing else is good enough.
