My contribution to the new art form—the long thread pointing out what strikes me as new and important in the final J6C Report. I also commend other examples in the category from friends and colleagues, eg Ryan Goodman and Norm Eisen. W/ 850 or so pages, more than enuf to go around!

NEW: How do we assess #January6thReport from #January6thCommittee & where do the investigations go from here? Rep.

Bittersweet moment- the final episode (for now) of ⁦Skullduggery⁩ with two great guests: ⁦Rep. Jamie Raskin⁩ and ⁦@judgeluttig⁩. And stick around to the end for the bloopers reel! ⁦Daniel Klaidman⁩ ⁦Victoria B⁩. It’s been quite a ride. art19.com/shows/skulldug…

Bittersweet indeed. After nearly 500 episodes it’s tough to see it go, so many great experiences putting this pod out. Huge thanks to Daniel Klaidman Michael Isikoff Victoria B - nothing beats working w/ ppl who actually want to be there, I’m proud of it all. Yahoo News Skullduggery

Quite correct; in addition, many states in the 19th century adopted laws enfranchising aliens (not citizens) who had lived in the US for a couple of years and declared their intention to become citizens.

Incredible job here compiling and analyzing the tidal wave.

Tammany Hall now a Petco.

Sixty years ago today, two heroic, courageous and idealistic young Black Americans, Vivian Malone and James Hood, entered the University of Alabama after JFK federalized the Alabama National Guard and Governor George Wallace stepped aside after trying to bar them:

Don’t threaten me with a good time.* * = Getting to write about the Federal Vacancies Reform Act, and DOJ-specific vacancy laws, like it was the Trump days when they just didn’t even nominate people.

The great @JackLGoldsmith’s op-ed @NYTOpinion on the Trump 1/6 indictment is articulate & provocative but wrong The terrible consequences he speculates about are dubious But the terrible consequences of NOT prosecuting are greater & more certain 1/x brookings.edu/articles/democ…
