“One indicator that an authoritarian coup might succeed is a prior attempt, which in retrospect would look like a dress rehearsal for the main event. State and federal prosecutors therefore must take every opportunity to make sure 2020 is the last, not the first, attempted coup…

Corporate income tax rate before the Trump tax cuts: 35%

After the Trump tax cuts: 21%

What many corporations actually paid with loopholes: 14%

What Netflix, Bank of America, and Nike paid: Less than 5%

What Trump’s planning for a second term? Even more corporate tax cuts.

Luttig: If a president cannot be held accountable under the constitution for having to attempted to overturn an election that he lost fair and square, remain in power, and all the while preventing the peaceful transfer of power, then that is to cut the heart and soul out of…

These kids protesting and targeting Jewish students are misinformed. What they are doing in the mistaken belief that they are standing up for the underdog instead risks tearing apart the very democracy they believe in. I believe (and was raised on the Jewish belief) that we all…

This is antisemitism, FULL STOP!!! A student being denied access to his university because he is Jewish.

Question for the protesters. Why won't you show your faces? No need for medical masks. Let the country see the antisemitic student or outside troublemaker doing this.

Justices Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh’s “insistence on taking the case, then slow-walking the schedule, and now focusing on how to protect the office of the presidency into the future means, perversely, that in the actual case before them, they are creating the conditions to let…

Roberts will likely be the essential 5th vote for or against immunity. He was inexplicably restrained during argument, when he should have been admonishing his colleagues about abandoning first principles: you don't decide more than necessary to resolve the case in front of you.

You can’t make this stuff up.

The IRS is poised to collect over half a trillion dollars from rich tax cheats thanks to a law passed by Democrats. Every single republican in Congress voted against stopping millionaire tax crooks and republicans want to help them keep stealing from you.

I think the Hamas attack on Israel was terrorism.
I think Israel has committed war crimes in its response.
I don't think innocent Palestinians or Israelis deserve to die.
I don't think acknowledging these things makes you pro-genocide or antisemitic.

I think that protesting…

Arming teachers is dangerous and incredibly unpopular.

Why? Because arming teachers is NOT about safety—it’s just a gun industry ploy to sell more guns.

813 U.S. billionaires hold more wealth than half of American households. If that doesn’t tell you we’re in a second Gilded Age, I don’t know what will.

It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the First Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back. Watch.

“However long it takes them to do it, any forward-looking line that the justices draw will necessarily identify conduct that future presidents can engage in without any fear of criminal prosecution. Given how difficult a successful impeachment would be in our contemporary…

“To this point in American history, Trump is, fortunately, a class of one. The more that the Court tries to hand down a ruling that doesn’t reflect that fact (or that reflects it only through a fractured and fractious disposition), the more that it will be making an error for the…

Steve Vladeck explains clearly why the game of writing an immunity rule “for the ages” is a game the Court can win only one way: BY NOT PLAYING!

Chief Justice Roberts can avert disaster only by following his own advice: decide no more than is needed to resolve this one case.

Feels crazy this may need to be said…but having been the WH comms director for Obama and press secretary for Biden…no…campaign and White House comms staff do not work with media to pay off potential sources of bad stories…ever. I am certain my predecessors of both parties…

The immunity case should have never made it to SCOTUS in the first place, but now that it has, SCOTUS should rule swiftly that no one is above the law, not former presidents and certainly not Donald Trump.

Trump’s lawyer “acknowledged under questioning by Justice Barrett that some of the allegations against Trump do not involve official acts but private ones, so the prosecution could move ahead [immediately] with those charges and not others. But that wouldn’t necessarily delay the…

Corporations say they were forced to raise prices.

But their profits have skyrocketed since 2020.

They hit a record high in Q4 2023.

News flash: They used inflation as cover to get rich.
