“The Trump Administration views Southern Utah’s remarkable redrock country as just another place to exploit and plunder as they promote new coal mining…America’s national parks, national monuments, and wild public lands don’t deserve this fate and we’ll work tirelessly to stop it from happening”

Utah News Dispatch @utahnewsdispatch.com · 16h

A blue pencil bird’s eye view drawing of a woman unconscious on a gurney, her wrists are bound and she’s tied to the gurney side guards. She’s wearing an old threadbare punk shirt that reads ‘!yaki!yaki!yaki!’ in katakana. Below the gurney are storage boxes.

"If administrative law’s core mission is to curb unbridled political will, Trump has imperiled the field’s very existence. His vision would kill administrative law and replace it with administrative domination managed by a personalistic presidency."

🧵I agree 100% with beau’s diagnosis

My worry is that we are making administration the load-bearing repository for re-establishing the legitimacy of government tout court.

Are we tilting at windmills? The orgs that were supposed to fulfill the promise of rule by the people are political parties.

LPE Blog @lpeblog.bsky.social · 1d

Today, Beau Baumann grapples with a fundamental challenge for the post-Trump era: to re-build state capacity requires a government that is seen as legitimate, yet it is precisely the erosion of administrative legitimacy that has enabled Trump to carry out his deconstructive agenda.

"New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

Scoop: Mamdani ally weighs challenging Hakeem Jeffries

Just talking about a potential campaign could drive a further wedge between Mamdani — the democratic socialist in line to be New York's next mayor — and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)
