Winning Isn't Fun Anymore. It's Time for Man City to Pay Up.
It’s difficult to look around and see the daily American disregard for the rule of law writ large, only to be reminded that sports — big-money enterprise that it is — follows the same patterns.

BANNED BOOKS WEEK In 2025, ALA documented 713 attempts to censor library materials and services, 487 of which targeted books. 92% of all book challenges were initiated by pressure groups, government officials and decision makers. Less than 3% of challenges originated from individual parents.

This is bad. At least 9 county prosecutors in pro-Trump areas of Virginia have now openly declared that they won't enforce the assault weapons ban that the Dem state legislature recently passed. It's a MAGA nullification movement. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/2114...

BREAKING: Federal judge finds that Presidential Records Act is likely constitutional, issues preliminary injunction requiring compliance with the law. Judge Bates, a George W. Bush appointee, opens his opinion with an Orwell quote.

MEMORANDUM OPINION
"Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past."!
Perhaps with that lesson in mind, Congress enacted laws to ensure that government records are
created, preserved, and made available to the public. Among those is the Presidential Records Act
(Records Act), which mandates the preservation of materials related to the official responsibilities of the President. In so doing, the Act democratizes the history of an indispensable institution.
Access to those records allows future Presidents to pick up where their predecessors left off, Congress to identify inefficiency and misfeasance, and the public to learn from the mistakes of the
' George Orwell, 1984 37 (Penguin Classics 2000) (1949) (citation modified).In sum, the relevant separation of powers principles all indicate that the Presidential
Records Act is likely constitutional. The Act serves a legitimate legislative purpose, is carefully
crafted to those ends, and does not impose a substantial burden on Executive Branch activities.
Accordingly, it likely does not impermissibly encroach upon the President's authority.
Because Congress has the enumerated power to regulate presidential records, and because
the Presidential Records Act does not unduly tread on core executive power, the law is likely
constitutional. The President is not free to disregard valid laws. His actions doing so, therefore, are in excess of his constitutional authority and in violation of federal law, so plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits of their claims.
