We've got big projects in the works. We'll be releasing the first episode of "The Report" in the coming days:
Nobody else brings you coverage like this of the confrontation between the president and Congress over oversight issues: lawfareblog.com/oral-argument-…
We don't do NPR-style pledge drives, but every now and then, I do remind people that a big portion of our budget comes from people like you. To everyone who already supports Lawfare, sincere thanks. If you're new to the site, welcome.

Cheers.

I admire this woman very deeply--even more so now than before.
elle.com/culture/books/…
It is a blot on our society that we need people like @cagoldberglaw. But we do--so very very much.
She also has the distinction of being the only person in the world to have a run-in with TSA after taking a selfie with #BabyCannon.

I reread “J’accuse” yesterday. What an astonishing document. What deep resonance it has for our time.
It made me think about a lot of things, not least being this exceptional piece by @anneapplebaum:
theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
The question is: Who is the Alfred Dreyfus of our time?

The answer: Some indistinct hybrid of a child separated from her parents and Peter Strzok or Lisa Page.

It is partly the indistinct nature of today’s Dreyfus that prevents us fully understanding our situation.

Americans are once again allowing the Republican and Democrat party divide us over race, when in fact race is not the issue! Please look at the foreign policies these woman support, and the policies they do not support! This is not about race & we must address the real issues!
@AyannaPressley, @RashidaTlaib, @IlhanMN, @AOC.

I ask for Americans to please look at the human policies these woman are addressing. I ask Americans to actually research the US Foreign Policy that causes massive Refugees and Endless War.
I ask Americans to look at who is funding the election campaigns of their representatives. I ask Americans to question why we are continously at war, when it does not benefit the United States! I ask Americans to research the foreign influence that controls US policy!

IMPOSSIBLE.

I’ve seen repeated assurances from people with cool awesome inside sources that the international Deep State has Trump firmly secured by the balls & squeezing HARD, which is why no declassification was EVER gonna happen...

Trump isn’t being allowed to do the declassification, it was patiently explained to me, which is why it hasn’t happened yet even though he’s been BLUFFING about doing it for almost a year at this point.

“If he was gonna do it,he’d have done it by now.” I was told.
So what changed,if anything?

Maybe the doom criers should go back and ask their cool inside sources if Trump is still bluffing... 🤔

1) "Call it what it is, this is Banana Republic stuff!"
Victor Lipman berates Barr in "Forbes" (04/15/19)

Recall Bill's "Cigar Republic Stuff," Vic?

2) Q: Have you ever talked to Monica Lewinsky about the possibility that she might be asked to testify in this (Paula Jones) lawsuit?

A. I'm not sure, and let me tell you why I'm not sure. It seems to me the, the, the – I want to be as accurate as I can here. (cont.)

1. Was Fiji Water girl Kelleth Cuthbert serving at Golden Globes random? You won't believe what I found!

@findtruthQ @martingeddes @intheMatrixxx @LisaMei62 @prayingmedic @qanon76 @WeAreOne_Q @MagniFieri @Anon_decoder @andweknow @cordicon @maccloskey1
2. I had some help on this. @O_I_l_l_l_O provided some great info on defining Cuthbert's dress, designer, color and more. Many thanks!

So what's the big deal? A chic photo bombs the biggest names on the red carpet at the Golden Globes. Did you stop to ask, how is this possible?
3. The only actress that has really been upset about the whole deal is Jamie Lee Curtis. She was furious and released a statement: "'The sponsors of events need to get permission from people before they try to take their picture with them,'" Curtis wrote." aol.com/article/entert…

On Tuesday of Holy Week, Jesus spent the day arguing with Pharisees literally the whole day, urging them towards things above. Then he spent his evening telling his besties they would all die horribly and nothing would make sense to them.
Perhaps to help them get this, Jesus spent his Wednesday morning hanging out at the house of a guy with leprosy. Then he gets his feet washed. Then we are apparently done with Wednesday.
Tuesday of Holy Week begins in Mark 11:20, and continues until the end of Mark 13. Wednesday is Mark 14:1-11. That is sort of weird to me.
