On May 10, 1906, Charles Scott, a candidate for governor who often campaigned in his Confederate uniform, gave the speech dedicating a new Confederate monument at @OleMissRebels.

We’ve searched for the full text of this speech for years. On Friday night, I finally found it.

Empire of Purity is here! Thanks @PrincetonUPress

New: At least two women in Georgia died after they couldn't access legal abortions and timely medical care in their state, ProPublica has found. This is one of their stories. https://t.co/ZZhqtEQdWB

Excited to deliver the Constitution Day lecture at Claremont McKenna College tomorrow: "History v. Originalism."

[Karen Tani (@kmtani.bsky.social) @kmtani]

Today at the @pennlaw/@PennHistory #LegalHistory workshop: we're excited to host @Stanford's Jonathan Gienapp (@TheGNapp)! He'll be talking with us about the importance of the Constitution's Preamble in the Founding Era and "The Lost Constitution of National Popular Sovereignty."

[Cass Sunstein @CassSunstein]

Exceptionally powerful book by @TheGNapp on what he sees as the (historical) mistakes of modern "originalism"; note that this is a work of history, not politics, and it offers a new understanding of what the founders' "constitution" actually was.

My book is coming out in November! So excited to share this thing that I have been working on for so long (and that so many amazing people helped make happen)! Happy to talk about it with classes, book groups, your uncle, etc.!

I haven't read it, but if @TheGnapp's name is on it, it's got to be good.

Trying to figure out how @mgraber_’s terrific new book fits into (some) of the literature on Reconstruction? Want to know what makes his approach to the making of the Fourteenth Amendment so novel? Read up!

[Jonathan Gienapp @TheGNapp]

The new issue of the JACH brings together two of my favorite people. Check out @ProfessorTwitty's exciting essay on @mgraber_'s important new book on the Fourteenth Amendment.

.@POTUS @JoeBiden Mr. President, I hope you see this video I'm posting. This precious woman — who knows her presidential history — speaks for the majority of Americans.

WARNING: Have some Kleenex handy. 😭

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

For all the talk about Donald Trump’s “new tone” last night, I thought it served as a good reminder: Don’t believe everything you see in the press.

[Walter A Clyburn Reed @deerretlaw]

How Biden needs to be at the Democratic National Convention 2024 this year 😂🇺🇸

[Dr. Jill Biden @DrBiden]

Her name is Hadley Duvall, and you need to hear her story.

Nate… you can call me a lot of things but a liar is definitely not one of them.

I know you THINK you know every thing but class is now truly in session.

Pull up a chair:

* The DNC started this process in May in response to the OH Secretary of State stating that our convention was after their deadline and no waiver would be provided
*The current law in OH requires certification by Aug 7 to ensure a presidential candidate is on the ballot for November
*Gov. DeWine signed into law on 6/2 a bill delaying the deadline until Sept 6
*Under the OH constitution the new law doesn’t take effect until 90 days after enactment which is 9/1
* Therefore the August 7th deadline will still be in place… giving rise to litigation and/or GOP games to create more hurdles and road blocks

So if we did nothing, then from August 7th- September 6th, we would not be in compliance with the OH law.

To not have a presidential candidate on a state ballot would have enormous consequences and impacts on turnout for all races on the ballot.

So you can definitely take that risk and other chances when you Chair a party… I however will not.

Biden: Poor Donald, he can't even watch TV this week because it's shark week

[Denise Wheeler 🌊💙 @denisedwheeler]

It's been 8 days since over 300 pages of never before seen docs with evidence confirming Trump as a co-conspirator w Epstein in an underage sex trafficking scheme, inc very graphic sexual details.

Yet no major media outlet has covered it since it went public.

@LauraJedeed Delete this, you're embarrassing yourself.

[Jim Clyburn @ClyburnSC06]

No one has delivered more tangible results for this country in recent history than @JoeBiden.

Just compare his record — the 15M new jobs, 1M PACT Act claims, $35/month cap on insulin, Infrastructure Law, and more — to Trump's disastrous 4 years if you need more proof.
