"We yet cling to the hope that it is not naïve to believe our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital to the American ethos.” 4/5
“The Judiciary will lose much from the constant intimations of its illegitimacy, to which by dint of custom and detachment we can only sparingly reply. The Executive will lose much from a public perception of its lawlessness and all of its attendant contagions." 3/5
“Now the branches come too close to grinding irrevocably against one another in a conflict that promises to diminish both. This is a losing proposition all around.” 2/5
Judge Wilkinson (Reagan appointee) writing for the 4th Circuit, turns back the lawless Trump administration like a Greek hero. Absolute poetry: 1/5
3 steps to economic depression:
1) Launch nonsensical tariff plan with maximum uncertainty.
2) Attack the Fed, shaking global confidence.
3) Launch or acquiesce to another war in the Persian Gulf, spiraling energy prices.
Check, check, and standby.
Proud of this university. When too many of the top law firms, corporations and media outlets have bent the knee to corrupt, unconstitutional authoritarianism, some have had the courage to say no.
History will remember them well.
Bravo.
There is a sorting.
I applaud and support my alma mater @urochester.bsky.social standing up against the Trump Administration.
Birds of a feather ....!

Chris Krebs is a hugely capable, honorable, patriotic guy. The White House and DOJ should be ashamed of themselves. They’re turning us into a banana republic.
It appears that Trump’s Liz Truss lasted exactly 0.7 Scaramuccis
Unbelievable turnout protesting the unconstitutional #MAGA clown show.
Retirements: gone
Kids college savings: gone
American soft power: gone
Competent government: gone
Free expression: gone
Free markets: gone
Huge Hands Off rallies in Greenwich, Stamford and Westport.
The people of this country will abide no kings.
Care to guess whether the people who obliterated your retirement accounts this week are being competent about protecting our national security?
Maybe check with Jeff Goldberg or Laura Loomer?
Things we have been liberated from:
Planned retirements
Contributions to our kids’ education
Stable pensions
Markets for our farm goods
Reasonably priced automobiles
Full employment
What else?
So just so I’m clear, does every new president from now on get to rearrange major law firms going forward? Is that in the constitution?
I have some thoughts for the next president.

Himes: This is his life now. He’s nowhere near qualified for the position he holds, so when he gets on a Signal chat with his buddies and says, ‘We’re a go. Centcom says all in. F-18s,’ it just makes him feel really, really good.
Sadly, of course, it puts our people at risk.

Himes: "As far as I can tell, we're now on team Kremlin ... the president's chief Russia negotiator, Steve Witkoff, is repeating Russian talking points and participating in a mad cap Signal chat about an attack on Yemen while inside Russia."

Himes: "Apparently all this mayhem is cheered by the president of the United States and by 20-somethings with laptops and names like Big Balls. But I've been doing this for a long time, and I know that Moscow and Beijing and Tehran and Pyongyang cannot believe their luck."
When I was growing up, we were taught that when you make a mistake you apologize and try to do better.
These days the most powerful people on the planet are teaching our children to not apologize and attack the reporter.
