I think we've heard the press ask Biden enough variations of the question: "Ya sure you wanna run?" He is.
Please ask substantive questions about issues so we can SEE his capabilities and knowledge and his prosecution of DJT. For fuck's sake.

Holy shit, despite the bad news from SCOTUS today, @Lawrence unveils a silver lining that ensures a ton of January 6th evidence is seen BEFORE THE ELECTION. 🔥

The Roberts court misrepresented precedent to Frankenstein together this immunity ruling. But it did not overrule those underlying opinions.

On remand and subsequent litigation, attorneys should utilize the complete holdings of those cases to hold Trump accountable. (11/11)

In Trump v. US, as with many major decisions by the Roberts court, the justices' detachment from reality and dishonesty is startling. A few examples of that, for posterity. 🧵 (1/11)

[Connor Bell, JD, MPH @ConnorBellJDMPH]

The Court cherry-picked a quotation from Nixon v. Fitzgerald to obfuscate a balancing test: the President's interest in confidentiality and non-interference is weighed against the public interest in criminal prosecution. Again, the latter outweighs the former. (10/11)

If you think the law under which Trump was convicted is unfair, you should check out the felony murder rule...

Only in America:

convicted felons cannot vote in the upcoming election (except in two states), but a man convicted of 34 felony counts could potentially be elected President of the United States this November.

[Omar Baddar عمر بدّار @OmarBaddar]

His family survived the Holocaust.
He founded Human Rights Watch.
He directed the ACLU.

Now he’s saying Israel is engaged in genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

Excellent CNN interview:

[Thomas Birmingham @thomasbirm]

Yesterday, Salovey wrote that “To claim control of a shared physical space is not in keeping with our bedrock principles.”

Today, police have commandeered all of Cross Campus in addition to Beinecke Plaza, which has been closed for over a week.

Actions speak louder than words.

So @scottjshapiro what's the verdict on Law Revue 2024: "Yalie"?

Are employers that require CVs AND manually-entered work history forms in applications the embodiment of evil? I think yes.

Somebody call a wambulance for @john_mcnesby @FOPLodge5.

Philadelphia is national model for how to challenge pretextual traffic stops in Black and Brown communities.
