The constitutional remedy for a president who directs the Department of Justice to prosecute a person the Department has already conceded is innocent of the crime is impeachment, removal, and disqualification, followed by criminal and civil proceedings.

BREAKING WSJ: Trump White House officials have asked the Trump Justice Department to consider a new prosecution of David Hearn, the man accused of vandalizing the Reflecting Pool — as Trump fumes over U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's decision to drop the case.

I've been toying with this idea about how we explicitly reframe the value of college to include other outcomes rather than ROI & workforce training. These are important outcomes but colleges also help people understand and participate in society and their governments as *citizens*.

That meets a criterion for Treason. To not defend the separate states, and the United States, is tantamount to *levying war* against them. This adds to his already active, armed Treason against Minnesota last year—without even the pretext of invoking the Insurrection Act. Try him on his life.

I can't stress enough what a crisis this is. Trump's own intelligence agencies concluded that Iran attacked Minnesota's critical infrastructure and Trump is saying that it's Minnesota's own fault and denying it was Iran. The federal government won't defend blue states in a literal war.

Investigators cautioned that the assessment was preliminary. There were no indications that any water supply had been rendered unsafe to drink.

There are only three possible futures: a) everyone in the Trump admin goes to jail, rule of law partially restored; b) Dems retaliate in full, and maybe that's a deterrent; c) neither (a) nor (b), so lawless authoritarianism wins again, and when Republicans regain power they ramp it up even more.

“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: This chill cover by A-ha of their own hit "Take on Me" strips away the original's ironic catchiness. Lead singer Morten Harket is very exposed here, so you can really appreciate his extraordinary falsetto and how well it suits the melancholy lyric. See you around.

🇺🇦 Zelensky to Sky News: We are on the right side of history. We are on our land and our house. This is my family, my country. I love this country, and nobody can push me out. Because if we will be weak, and if Putin will be successful, we will lose everything—future of children, grandchildren.

Pure white supremacy from the federal government.

Two people tried to enter a screening of The Odyssey without buying tickets after hiding inside a miniature model of the Trojan Horse. 😂😂😂

The Odyssey is another great film in the genre of “let’s try to get Matt Damon Home”

Now that we're finally seeing some light at the end of the explosive diarrhea I can admit that when I first saw everyone posting about Cyclosporiasis, I thought it was a character in The Odyssey.

DTF St Louis is sublime? Why didn’t it break through more? It’s NOT what I thought it was. Beautifully crafted. Much artier and weirder than I thought it would be. Highly recommend. Need to know about why the police station is unnecessarily wonderful - like a theatre set for a Kafka adaptation. Love

Exactly. The president is going to spin some incredible lies about the 2020 election and the media -- and every single Democrat in the country -- has to be ready to smack this bullshit down immediately. Not a mealy-mouthed fact check or, golly, this is weird. Call it out as an assault on democracy.

capitolhunters@capitolhunters.bsky.social · last mo.

Journalists: please, please get ready for this in ADVANCE. We know Trump's going to claim "new evidence shows the 2020 election was stolen". You've got 3 days to write a story that confronts that lie head-on before he says it - pre-write this like an obit. America is begging you: plan ahead. 1/

Politics is not about feeling good. It's about winning elections and then governing, often with an eye towards winning the next election. It sucks and it's grimy and it involves compromises which is why you shouldn't build your social identity around it.

My hot take is that Lindsey Graham did many contemptible things but if you’re furious that his Senate Democratic colleagues are posting nice things about him today you need to put down your phone, get some fresh air, and remember a time when a colleague you disliked departed this mortal coil.

Ok everybody, listen: in the morning, a bunch of Democrats are going to put out boilerplate statements about Graham’s death in which they won’t call him the dipshit asshole he was. Let try not to get worked up at them about this very normal and meaningless thing.

when it comes to "abandoning shows after one season" Netflix started it; now they wonder why viewers are engaging the way the platform taught them to

The Ankler@theankler.bsky.social · last mo.

Netflix has an engagement problem. Viewers are abandoning shows after one season, and nobody agrees on how to fix it. Sources tell Lesley Goldberg that within Netflix, there's "tension" over how to grab (and hold) viewers' attention - mrf.lu/2NPp7

I'm so disillusioned, I almost don't even care who gets the FIFA Peace Prize next year

In case you haven't seen this today.

They want to convince their followers that we are un-American, in the wrong country. But it’s them. THEY are in the wrong country. Their goals, plans, ideology are no less than an insurrection against the Second Founding - the constitutional framework for our country created after the Civil War.

need to start thinking now about a full package of judicial reforms: new justices, new circuits, new district courts, ethics reforms, docket reforms, and transparency reforms.

Expanding the Supreme Court is a moral imperative, not just a political one. Take note, Democratic congressional candidates
