@AnnaBower @TylerMcBrien @lawfare Hi, great coverage, and a question for the whole gang, including @rparloff: Is there any reason not to bring Weisselberg in to take the 5th in front of the jury? Then the jury would know why he wasn't testifying. Thanks much.

Dozens of federal judges failed to fully disclose free luxury travel to judicial conferences around the world, as required by internal judiciary rules and federal ethics law, an NPR investigation has found.

@AnnaBower @MSNBC @lawfare @hugolowell @kyledcheney And that's @TimOBrien, if I'm not mistaken! So you know you've chosen your lunch spot wisely.

@BobOnMarkets @tylercowen @opinion Maybe something that rhymes with crass snuggle? ;) I sometimes wonder if the societal solidarity and drops in inequality brought by the events of 1914-1945 amounted to a one-off exception to age-old trends, rather than the norm I grew up thinking they were. Paging @adam_tooze!

If I said "That Republican vice-presidential frontrunner kills puppies", before today I would have been speaking metaphorically

[Jill Twiss @jilltwiss]

I love that Kristi Noem's entire defense is just naming other animals she killed. In two days, she's going to be like "Listen, I invented the penguin-guillotine and I'm goddamn proud of it."

Amazon created a fake Japanese streetwear brand it sold on Shopify to get intel on competitors. Wild investigation from @WSJ https://t.co/swXmsiRhD0

@stevenmazie As I understand it, an immunity analysis is supposed to assume that the allegations are true. Since there are a limited number of allegations, couldn't scotus just go through them and say immune/not immune? Did Roberts indicate where he stood on something like that? @RickPildes

Authoritarianism is a virus spreading to every country in the world.

@AnnaBower Do you have any idea whether Howard might be called as a prosecution witness? Was he covered by the deal Pecker worked out for AMI? Thanks.

@christopherrufo @Maddie_Rowley_ Re the sleep story, I'm sure you noticed that the author reports the capitalist critique as a point of view that's well represented on the internet -- and then makes clear that he disagrees with it. Sort of mocks it, even.

The wool Loro Piana uses to make its $9,000 sweaters comes from the Andes.

“The message from GOP senators: Suffer, little children.”
Thank you @crampell for this warning: The child tax credit bill passed by the House could die because of Republican opposition in the Senate. Why kill a bill that’s pro-family, pro-life & paid for? https://t.co/LIrI6zBaYU
