the entire conservative media apparatus was born out of a conviction that what happened to Nixon should never again happen to a Republican president and it worked and they now feel comfortable enough to admit it

“…immigration advocates said a new… policy requiring most foreigners seeking green cards to apply in their home country is a pretext to get immigrants to leave the US — and not return.” I never want to hear *they should come here the right way* ever again. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/05/24/m...

SEVEN whole law professors?! Here I was thinking that what mattered was every single judge who has ruled on the issue, 125+ years of accepted understanding of the 14th, and centuries of common law on the contours of jus soli. But if Ilan Wurman's side has SEVEN law professors, man, WOW. It's over.

@ilan_wurman
🚨🚨🚨Columbia law professor Philip Hamburger just dropped an essay arguing that Trump is right about birthright citizenship. That now makes at least seven prominent law professors arguing to varying degrees that Trump’s EO is constitutional.

23 people could stop this genocidal war criminal. That’s it. 23. 20 Republican senators and 3 republican reps in the house and he’d be out of politics forever. But they won’t. They’re addicted to power. A drug so strong they’d rather see a civilization die than give it up.

Oh my god. The Prime Minister's social media account puts out a post reflecting on the horrors of one genocide, hours after refused to explicitly condemn the threat of another. (Not to mention the failure to close loopholes that see Canadian companies arm yet another genocide -- in Gaza)
Tweet from the Prime Minister of Canada reads: 
Today, we remember and reflect on the horrific 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda.
We honour the victims, survivors, and everyone whose lives were changed forever by the atrocities and commit to building a better world where such horrors are never forgotten or repeated.

Image attached reads: International Day of Reflection on the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda

Senate Republicans refused to convict Trump after Jan 6. Republican SCOTUS appointees gave him immunity. Republicans in Congress today stand idly by as he unleashes death and destruction across the globe. We are now at the whims of a mad king because GOP leaders have refused to constrain him.

Trump's firing of Pam Bondi and the war crimes of Pete Hegseth both illustrate the perils of personalist rule. Flattery, tribute, and the willingness to break laws for Trump are all that matter. We are seeing the disastrous consequences everywhere. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/2086...

Adam does it better than anyone. But there is a prohibition against connecting the dots on Musk (and Trump). Haney-Lopez always identified plausible deniability as a key to dog whistling. But the media has adopted the same sort of "color blind" obtuseness that the right used to kill civil rights.

The NYT, a paper devoted to spreading the propaganda of rich “centrists” and right wing Trump apologists, isn’t critiquing the wealthy or defending the needy; it’s just trying to stigmatize public services and evangelize for means testing to undermine a socialist mayor. Just my opinion!
