That's why we call him a fascist.

The only thing stopping him from being immediately removed from office are congressional republicans. That's why the mid-terms are so important.

Trump: "I can do anything I want to do to them ... I'm allowed to destroy the country."

Elon Musk is unintentionally running one of the most significant experiments in modern sociology: How long can a rich man keep his wealth in a market economy when the entire world hates his guts?

whoops!

An AI coding bot took down Amazon Web Services Blames "user error, not AI error" for incident in December involving its Kiro tool.

Amazon’s cloud unit has suffered at least two outages due to errors involving its own AI tools, leading some employees to raise doubts about the tech giant’s push to roll out coding assistants.

Even election officials who like voter ID have issues with the SAVE America Act "It's a classic 'show your papers’ law designed to make it harder for US citizens to vote," Sec. Jocelyn Benson said.

Even some of the SAVE America Act’s cosponsors are misguided about the bill’s identification requirements for registration, mistakenly believing a state driver’s license compliant with the 2005 REAL ID Act would be sufficient. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Bodyguards for Azerbaijani president, in town for Trump’s Board of Peace, attack protesters in DC

Protesters were outside hotel in Washington demanding the release of political prisoners in Azerbaijan

Jeffrey Epstein helped fuel the campus culture wars The academics in the Epstein files aren’t all criminals, but they shared beliefs about whose work matters.

The worst figures on campus arguing that campuses had become overrun with wokeness were all best buddies with Epstein. Quelle surprise.

Last night, I was notified that another person has died in ICE custody.

That’s 39 people who have died on ICE’s watch during Trump’s second term.

We cannot grow numb to this. There must be immediate oversight and accountability.

Supreme Court, on a 6-3 vote, blocks Trump's IEEPA tariffs Chief Justice John Roberts found that there actually are structural limits on the president's powers.

Here is my report at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/supreme-co...

I keep hearing that the Epstein files are so big if we held everyone accountable everything would collapse. And no it wouldn’t. These rich guys don’t do any actual work. They aren’t actually important or useful they are just rich.

*very* striking to me that trump's two big losses at SCOUTS--first the fed, now tariffs--are both about core macroeconomic institutions, namely free trade and an independent central bank. "go nuts on culture, go nuts on immigration, but DO NOT TOUCH the neoliberal consensus"

SCOTUS struck down the Trump tariffs, in part based on the major questions argument we made in our amicus brief!

not to say they are doing this on purpose but the ram shortage & price spike is certainly playing into the hands of people investing billions into tech aimed at first stealing and then selling every bit of information and knowledge ever created by mankind because they hate open source and open data

I’ve lost count of how many US citizens ICE has shot.

And the media still acts like it’s only two.

Large banner of Trump unfurled at Justice Department headquarters The DOJ has traditionally operated with a degree of separation from the White House to prevent the department's powers from being abused for political purposes.

“Hanging that banner should put to rest any doubt that Donald Trump has hijacked the independence of the Justice Department. He — not the American people — is the only client DOJ’s current leadership serves." www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Among the lawyers who signed up to file habeas petitions for their fellow Minnesotans were “corporate litigators, divorce lawyers, estate planners and criminal defense attorneys who are leveraging their bar admission to mount an unprecedented defense of immigrants” against a mass caging campaign.

The Conservative Legal Advocates Working to Kill Trump’s Tariffs The New Civil Liberties Alliance is mounting a constitutional challenge to one of the biggest policy questions of our time. Will others follow?

I wrote about some of them here. But there are so many other lawyers and businesses who stepped up.

They all should be celebrated today. Not the Supreme Court. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Hahahaahhaa hell yeah. The future rules! THE FUTURE RULES!
