Prove me wrong:
the United States has only been on the right side of history TWICE since its inception: WWI and WWII.
And even then, they were committing so many atrocities at home that those almost don’t count as clean historic winning moments.

The Florida Bar has filed misconduct charges against Attorney General Pam Bondi.

She has been in violation of multiple ethics rules since being sworn in.

I have to admit I’m not sure I have ever seen a per curiam with dissents…

Thomas and Alito dissented.

Weird to see the "did you even say thank you?" crowd vanish on this one.

NEW: US House Democrats launch probe into Justice Dept for “blessing” the Qatar jet deal with Trump Admin

Atty General Bondi is named in letter

Honestly, I think this should just be the general legal theory of the next administration: every bit of obvious bribery should just be seized on the grounds that Trump couldn't constitutionally have accepted it, so he must have accepted it on behalf of the government.

Graphic of Washington Post poll from April 18-22, 2025, showing "Majorities of Americans oppose various Trump proposals" highlighting two lines in particular: "Increasing the Federal Government's role in how private universities operate" - 28 percent support, 70 percent oppose "Reducing federal funding for medical research" - 21 percent support, 77 percent oppose

University leaders need to understand: they are holding INCREDIBLY good cards.

It is so rare in today's polarized era to have the support of 70+ percent of the public against the Trump admiministration on anything. Universities have that—AND winning legal arguments.

Senator Adam Schiff has announced that, due to the chaos surrounding tariff policy, he will investigate whether anyone engaged in insider trading. Trump may be immune from prosecution, but those around him are not. — It’s time to decimate this MAGA circle.

Early results from Trump's retaliation against law firms:

Winners: Perkins Coie, Jenner & Block, WilmerHale

The rulings show the settling firms (to their discredit) lack integrity & can't predict litigation outcomes very well

🚨BREAKING: 9th Circuit DENIES government's motion to pause federal court order requiring the rehiring of probationary civil servants who were terminated. A big win for democracy and a another defeat for Trump.

Whether Judge Boasberg was correct on the law is largely irrelevant to whether the government is in contempt for willfully disobeying it. If the Trump administration knew there was an order from a federal judge and then willfully violated it, that is the end of the analysis.

I still cannot believe this is real. It’s psychotic. There are many, many (SO MANY) more consequential heinous things they’ve done, but somehow the crassness of this seems like a new low. The White House shitposting like an especially mean and stupid 14-year-old.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

They won’t ever learn will they

Not everyone can fight Trumpism and Trumpists directly. But remember this: kindness, decency, and fidelity to American values are defiance in the face of Trumpism.

So be kind, decent, and faithful, particularly to the many kinds of people despised and attacked by Trumpists. That’s revolutionary./1

Time zones are fascinating. Australia is already in 2025, Europe is still 2024, and the USA is currently in 1939.
