Is Elon Musk a populist? Can populism explain what's going on with his companies? His stock prices? His weird company governance? Well, I dug through my old political theory notes and my new corp law notes (and spent too much time on his feed) to come up with: YES.

The underlying message of Kennedy’s campaign is that measles deaths are expected and admissible, because the people who don’t survive the disease were flawed anyway, says Laura Appleman.

My family also fled violence against Jews in Eastern Europe, and my grandfather came here from Mexico many years after his family couldn’t get into the U.S. from Europe. Immigrants have made this country what it is today.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · Mar 6

My family found a home here in America after fleeing the massacre of Jews in Ukraine.

Like so many refugees, they found work and contributed to their community.

It’s wrong that Donald Trump wants to deport families, just like mine, who fled violence.

Exclusive: Trump plans to revoke legal status of Ukrainians who fled to US, sources say

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is planning to revoke temporary legal status for some 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the conflict with Russia, a senior Trump official and three sources familiar with the matter said, potentially putting them on a fast-track to deportation.

The campaign to force scholars of private law to pay mind to public law continues unabated.

Robinson Meyer @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social · Feb 12

So far, the president’s freeze on climate and infrastructure law spending has been covered as a constitutional issue.

But Trump is also about to start breaching hundreds of federal contracts — and *that* could soon open a new front in the legal war. I wrote about it:

The Next Front of Trump’s Renewables War Is Contract Law

And that’s on top of the constitutional questions.
