Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

The right wing has spent decades trying to redefine Islam as a political ideology as a pretext for the type of repression that inevitably leads to state sponsored violence. Texas lawmakers are now bragging about it. This should be a top national story.

At the conference Saturday, state Rep. Andy Hopper, a Republican who represents Wise County, detailed a slate of ideas he said lawmakers have discussed ahead of next year's legislative session to make Muslims' lives "miserable."
"There are so many ways and opportunities we can take to make life difficult for people who should not be here and are trying to thwart our existence," he said. "We have a lot of tools in the toolbox."
In addition to the bans on Islamic dress and halal foods, proposals include ramping up financial and regulatory investigations of Muslim organizations, shuttering Islamic charter schools, denying state contracts to companies that employ H-1B visa holders, and refusing to issue professional licenses to Muslims. The latter could affect thousands of physicians and healthcare workers.
Some Texas Republicans have floated the idea of banning halal foods in an effort to target Islam. Pictured, customers line up at a food truck at the Texas Halal Fest in Plano.
Faraz Ahmed
Hopper also said lawmakers should define Islam as a political ideology rather than a religion so it can be banned, and the state should take control of immigration enforcement from the federal government so it can forcibly remove people.
"How many of y'all want to bring back banishment as a form of punishment in Texas?" he said to applause.
It is not clear how likely some of these bills are to pass or whether they could garner widespread
Republican support.
