I'm reading the report by House Judiciary Committee Dems on the "whistleblowers" that Jim Jordan has brought in for his weaponization committee. HOO BOY. Jim does NOT want you to read this report, because it pre bunks a lot of his best material. So read it int.nyt.com/data/documentt…
This is the position of one of his *star witnesses*. 🤦🏾‍♀️Please bookmark this for when the GOP MAGAs claim that Democrats want to "defund the police." This guy...literally wants to defund the police Image
The other star witness. Who literally have no firsthand knowledge of what they are testifying to. Remember when Republicans were screaming "hEaRsAY!!!" all the time during the January 6 hearings? 😂 ImageImage
Oh, they are also funded by sugar daddy Ka$h Patel. As in receiving cash money and lawyers (who apparently now claim to be representing them pro bono) 🙄 Image
BTW Jim Jordan is asking for $2 million a year and a "reserve fund" of $15 million to conduct this and his other "investigations" axios.com/2023/03/07/jim…
Just one of the witnesses knowingly appearing on Russian propaganda networks...while he was still an FBI employee nothing to see here 😬😬😬 ImageImage
LOL the Republicans' own witnesses are contradicting the claims Jim has made about what he will "prove" (this is just one example...to many others to screenshot) 🤣 Image
Have to go teach so am stopping before Section II, which is all about how these guys are funded by Patel. Who works at the Center for Renewing America (CRA) ⬇️ Image
P.S. Don't forget that Jim tried to bamboozle the public before with his "1000 Page Report on FBI & DOJ Politicization"...which consisted mainly of 94 copies of one 5-page letter 🤣

I don’t really expect average people to know or understand the differences between Title I and Section 702 of FISA…but I would think (hope?) a *former president* would? Section 702 literally had nothing to do with surveillance of his campaign. So incompetent. Image
Also: You cannot claim to be strong against China — or Iran, or Russia, or any other foreign adversary or terrorist group for that matter — and be in favor of “killing” FISA (Title I or Section 702). This post basically says he wants all of these to have free reign against us Image
If you want a deep dive explainer on Section 702 and why the query “warrant” doesn’t make sense and would basically neutralize the FBI’s use of 702 entirely (making it harder to stop spies, terrorists, and cyberattacks), I wrote this in 2017* justsecurity.org/47428/dont-fal…

Interesting that for purpose of presidential immunity, Trump argues that running as a candidate and holding office are one and the same. But when it comes to application Sec. 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment, Trump wants to split hairs on "running" and "holding" office. No principle
According to Trump's lawyers, the President of the United States could order Seal Team Six to murder his political opponent and he would be immune from prosecution unless he was immediately impeached, convicted, and removed from office first 2/
Apart from this bizarre interpretation (which would obviously let the president off the hook for anything he did in his last days of office), this contradicts Trumps position in impeachment 2.0 that he should not be convicted bc criminal prosecution is the appropriate remedy 3/

THREAD. Admissions officer here 🙋🏾‍♀️ IMO Harvard/UNC opinion is much narrower than I expected it to be and impact will be much less than I see a lot of people suggesting -- and possibly give institutions MORE ability to curate classes based on diversity interests 1/
2. The implicit question here and the one the justices disagree on is this: Can race be a proxy for experience? Harvard/UNC/dissent says yes, majority says no, these can be bifurcated: race can't be a proxy, but an individual story of how race has shaped person CAN be considered
3. There are implications here: It means that applicants whose identity is shaped by race will need to articulate that explicitly in order for it to be taken into account. This is an added burden on the applicant. But, most apps include a supplemental diversity essay already

Today's SCOTUS opinion in the AL redistricting case illustrates consequences of what @steve_vladeck calls the "shadow docket." Ct upheld lower court, which itself applied clear precedent...but it STAYED the lower court pending decision, allowing illegal map to be used in 2022! 1/
The Court says that lower court "faithfully applied our precedents" and that the state's challenge was trying to "remake Sec. 2 jurisprudence anew"...and yet did not allow the lower court's "faithful" application (upheld by appeals ct with 2 Trump appointees) to take effect 2/
Highly recommend @steve_vladeck's book as it explains how these procedural machinations (which also happened in TX abortion litigation) effectively allows for substantive changes in the law without accountability. Good outcome moving forward, but this is also part of "story" END

The FBI has a problem, and it’s coming from inside the house: Senior FBI officials resisted executing a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago and even wanted to shut down the case washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
Ummmmm
This is the same guy who asserted falsely after Jan. 6 that the FBI had no advance info that there could be violence ⬇️
