The Trump administration’s proposed census changes will undoubtedly face legal challenges, with narrow prospects of surviving them. The Constitution, federal law, and centuries of history make clear that the census is meant to count everyone, regardless of citizenship. bit.ly/4y6x1yl

Elites that surrended to Trump in 2025 miscalculated, letting his imagined cultural dominance spook them into inflating the price of getting on his bad side. But now the logic of collective resistance has been confirmed as sound. Should have realized this earlier! newrepublic.com/article/2158...

I'm under no illusions about how things are or what the trajectory is. But I'm also excited for the future because that is where I will hang out with the people I care about and do the things I like doing, or haven't done before. Weird but telling that this holds less appeal for much richer people.

Devastating critique from @jrakove.bsky.social! The only thing to add is that no serious historian lends any credence to the unitary executive theory. It is exclusively backed by a network of legal scholars and commentators who rip words out of context and cite each other in lieu of historiography.

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

The inquiry was closed last year because senior bureau officials questioned the veracity of a campaign donor’s account, according to current and former officials.
