"These normie Republicans are willing enablers of the cruelty and autocracy, the destructiveness and lawlessness, from the administration they support. Which is why some of us are no longer Republicans, and are unlikely to become Republicans again." thebulwark.com/p/rfk-jr-maha-…

"Trump officials say the migrants are a public safety threat and a drain on the nation’s resources." In terms of the groups the Trump administration is referring to here, this is simply false. wapo.st/3FpDQFh

"Yes, there’s plenty to worry about when these cases make it to the Supreme Court...But as someone who’s warned that we can’t count on the courts alone to save us, I have to acknowledge that many federal judges have done their best." thebulwark.com/p/a-whiff-of-c…

For those interested, here's the video of the Crimson Courage webinar of May 27, 2025 on Harvard, Academic Freedom, and the Rule of Law. My five minutes focused on Thrasybulus and Periander is about halfway through... youtu.be/Qk2C8kljbyY?si…

"In Frogner Park is a Lincoln memorial. The plaque on the left: 'Presented to Norway by the People of North Dakota, U.S.A., July 4th, 1914.' The one on the right: 'Government of the People, by the People, for the People, Shall Not Perish from the Earth.'” jaynordlinger.com/p/oslo-journal…

Trump says we're overrun by "illegals." He's manifested those fever dreams into reality thru a “de-documentation” campaign, stripping legal immigrants of visas & work permits. He's not targeting criminals; he's criminalizing immigrants who follow the law. wapo.st/3HvBBka

"They’re surely not like the Stephen Millers and Kristi Noems of the world, or for that matter the JD Vances and Donald Trumps....But these normie Republicans have become the willing enablers of the cruelty and autocracy." This is the problem. thebulwark.com/p/rfk-jr-maha-…

Once again, Homeland Security is LYING to the American public. Every person who came through this program entered LEGALLY and had permission to live here. By DEFINITION they are not “illegal aliens.” They broke not one law. The only thing broken here is a promise our nation made to them.

A man who cannot confess his sins to God is not about to love his "enemy". I understand political alliances of convenience, but I will never understand Christians finding righteousness in this man.

"If you go to the website of the Republican Women of Baltimore County, the group looks to be normie Republicans... But they’re pro-January 6th. And they’re also pro-conspiracy and anti-vaccine and anti-immigrant. They’re comfortably part of Trump’s GOP." thebulwark.com/p/rfk-jr-maha-…

Senators Graham and Blumenthal in Kyiv: the U.S. is preparing a massive new sanctions package — and Putin will feel it. Plan includes seizing $300B in frozen Russian assets, using Ukraine’s minerals for arms, and 500% tariffs on China if it backs Putin. 82 senators back it. 0/

Someone should set up a phone line to contact if you were helped in some way by an immigrant. I bet it would get a lot more calls than this ridiculous and offensive ICE line.

Today, 85 years ago: The peak of the "Miracle of Dunkirk," with ~ 70,000 British troops evacuated. The rescue at Dunkirk allows Britain to survive in 1940, which makes possible victory later. Lesson: You need to survive Dunkirk before you can attack and win on D-Day.

"If this rot was confined to the GOP, it would be tragic but manageable. But Trump and the Republican Party control the levers of federal power...We are still mid-story. The outcome is not ordained. The flame of liberty hasn’t been extinguished yet." theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

"Last week the number of undocumented immigrants in the United States surged by 350,000...President Donald Trump simply decided to turn 350,000 legal immigrants into illegal ones." wapo.st/43G4QbB

If only we had experience from the past century to tell us what it means when a government goes out of its way to revive out-of-date or obscure statutes as part of a political program persecuting a vulnerable group previously targeted by its propaganda. wapo.st/3Z8Rovq

Remarkable to see career foreign service officers headlining CPAC. Looking forward to the same “seriousness of purpose” in enforcement of the Hatch Act. Or have we “turned the page” on that too?
