Two of the best scholars on the topic provide a superb and sobering history of the Court’s role in civil rights, and drawing on lessons from past Congresses that pushed back, lay out what can be done now. A must read.

As Michael Cohen so aptly characterizes them " the trifecta of incompetence". Rather than send trained diplomats to try and negotiate a deal with Iran they sent these clowns and of course they met with failure.

Jaw-dropping admission by DOJ to court. DOJ admits to having repeatedly made "material mistaken" representations to judge - ICE never had authority (under 2025 Guidance) to conduct arrests at immigration courthouses! DOJ admits court "relied on...prior misrepresentations." DOJ blames ICE (page 2)

Good piece (as usual by @gregsargent.bsky.social ) Two things simultaneously true: 1) Trump is becoming weaker, in *every* way, by the hour. 2) Precisely for that reason, he is becoming more dangerous. "Raccoon with rabies" is the metaphor I keep in mind.

Remember when televisions in public spaces—airports, bus stations, military bases, and even waiting rooms—were almost always tuned to CNN. It was the default backdrop, shaping the way travelers, service members, and commuters absorbed the day’s news.

We are a nation of 349M, yet one man decided to launch our nation into a reckless, illegal war without congressional authorization or counsel or the support of the American people. He didn’t think he had any duty to sell it or serve the people’s interests. This is why despotic rule is so dangerous.
