Outstanding paper on how Trump team is "asserting unilateral authority to condition, delay, cancel, or otherwise disrupt federal obligations and expenditures without regard to longstanding legal understandings and norms." Learned a lot. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Disruption is all they seem to understand—so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.

I love this idea.
Hey NBC and Seth Meyers, y’all need to book the largest possible venue in D.C. on April 26th and do a competing fundraiser and comedy show that actually celebrates the First Amendment. Televise it. Make Amber Ruffin the central act. Send a message that free speech is non-negotiable.

Sending up gratitude for the judges AND, more importantly, the lawyers who are willing to fight for the rule of law.
As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies.
The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits.
Maybe it's not the judges?

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

Do NOT drop this story. Keep hitting it hard. They could have killed our pilots.
YouGov poll:
74% Americans — including 60% of Republicans — say the Trump admin's use of the Signal chat to discuss military strikes is a serious problem.

Everyone should have a BASIC understanding of what Trump is doing. He's no different than many dictators before him and it ALWAYS leads to fascism.
Understanding is the first line of defense. The ONLY way to stop this is to refuse to bow down to him, NOW.

Yesterday, Michael Waltz claimed that he’s “never met, don’t know, never communicated with” Jeffrey Goldberg.
Here’s a photo of Waltz standing next to Goldberg during a 2021 event at the French Embassy.
The event Waltz attended—a Q&A with a French filmmaker—was moderated by Goldberg.

According to a source I have at the CIA, Director Radcliffe lied today under oath. Signal is absolutely not loaded on agency computers. As a matter of fact it’s specifically prohibited as an outside app. Skype is allowed for conference calls but not Signal. He’s lying. @markwarner.bsky.social
