Did Mueller miss all this? He must have, unless all of this misconduct postdates his tenure. Maybe the Mueller investigation was less thorough and competent than was assumed.
Coach Harbaugh did what he came to do — took us from the dark days of RichRod and Brady Hoke all the way to a National Championship, with three straight Big Ten titles and wins over OSU along the way. These are monumental achievements for a program in a cold climate that doesn't…
Rushing McCarl LLP is writing a pro bono amicus brief supporting the University of Michigan’s efforts to block the Big Ten’s suspension of Head Coach Jim Harbaugh. Hundreds of alumni have added their names to the brief.

Under the Electoral College, land sort of does “vote” in the sense that the College weights peoples’ voting power based on where they happen to live. If you live in California, your vote is worth 3-4x less than that of people who live in Wyoming.
@Nick_L_Miller
I think there is some safety in numbers here. If the US alone were providing direct military aid to Ukraine, that would create more escalation risk. But if it’s the US, Germany, non-NATO countries, etc. all pitching in, is Russia going to escalate against everyone?

@BernieSanders
Except that he’s not actually dealing with the crisis. Rather, he’s using the crisis as one more excuse to continue his failed candidacy. He’s making it all about himself.

Disagree. I am increasingly feeling joy when our leaders act on their duty to uphold the laws and Constitution of the United States. I've learned that we can't take that for granted.
It’s disappointing to hear that

has decided to go along with the B10’s suspension of Coach Harbaugh. The 1,700 alumni who signed our brief made clear how important it is for Coach to be on the sidelines.

Blanketing the airwaves with informative, fair negative ads is critical for Biden and Democrats right now. People need to understand that Trump is largely responsible for this catastrophe. The "no politics during the pandemic" crowd is advocating surrender.
Our Harbaugh v. Big Ten amicus brief is at 980 alumni signatures and counting. We’ve been flooded with offers of support, many from other alumni attorneys who are excited about the effort and offering to help however they can.

Responding to McCarthy: I’m in the legal profession, and this has nothing whatsoever to do with the “fruit of the poisonous tree” doctrine.

How is it outrageous to condition foreign aid on a country’s acting in accord with U.S. foreign policy positions? America isn’t a charity for foreign governments that ignore our interests. Close the wallet.
I subscribe to and am grateful for both
@nytimes
and
@washingtonpost
for their hard work exposing the existential threat to American democracy posed by Trump and his Republican enablers. Support journalists: quality reporting isn’t free.
@emilynussbaum
@KevinBankston
This is potentially huge, but it’s just one Politico reporter relaying info from anonymous sources. We need confirmation from more sources for this now.
@PhilippeReines
We should stop calling the tell-all Trumpster “Anonymous” and start calling them “Coward.” They joined the administration and went along silently abetting every travesty and crime, complicit in everything Trump did. Now they are running their mouth for money—just like their boss.
@DLeonhardt
@jtlevy
I know that opinion writers don’t pick their own headlines and that’s frustrating, but how could NYT call this a “complete list”? That’s totally false. What about when he called it a “hoax” perpetuated by the Democrats?

It’s not up to the Executive Branch whether or not to pass along foreign aid that Congress has allocated. So neither these entities nor the President have any legal say in the matter.
@TVietor08
Hiding the call readout in the secret server was cover-up enough to justify impeachment. So is preventing officials from testifying and refusing to obey subpoenas. This is just one more aspect of the criminal conspiracy.
@RadioFreeTom
Trump *is* parsing the speech’s sentences for the first time. You think he prepares for things? He refuses to read his 1–2 page intelligence briefings. He doesn’t read, period, unless he’s reading about himself.

@BernieSanders
That’s true, but votes for Medicate for All and other aspects of the Sanders platform are not on the table. And yet those are what he is focused on. He’s using the crisis as his latest excuse to keep his campaign alive and his name in the news.
@nytopinion
Bret Stephens acknowledges that Trump’s lawbreaking is “repellent and dangerous,“ but fails to call for Trump’s impeachment.
You either stand up for American democracy and sovereignty or you don’t. No partial credit.
May an American tech company discriminate against a worker because the worker is an "untouchable" under India's caste system? Cisco Systems, Inc. says yes; I say no.
@Alex_Drain
On the other hand, you can’t really blame Harbaugh for his hypercompetitiveness. That’s what we love about him and the reason he took Michigan from a decade of irrelevance to winning a national title in six years.
@Susan_Hennessey
Well, Barr is a “partisan hack open to subverting due process rights of Americans for his political gain.” He smothered and misrepresented the Mueller report, then tried to withhold the whistleblower complaint from Congress.
I am proud to be playing a small role in a historic legal fight against caste discrimination in the American tech industry. You can learn more about the DFEH v. Cisco case and read the brief Rushing McCarl filed on behalf of

There’s a lot of news and noise right now, so here is what you need to know about Trump’s approaching impeachment. Trump violated campaign finance and obstruction of justice laws by soliciting foreign (Ukrainian) interference in American elections and then trying to cover it up.
@nytdavidbrooks
That says a lot about the quality of that school and the knowledge and curiosity of its students. It says nothing about the need for impeachment.
@tribelaw
It seems to me that bribery is essentially a lesser-included crime of extortion. In other words, extortion includes the act of bribery but is worse because it adds the element of coercion.
Yes. This is not an ordinary election about policy issues; it is an emergency. People who believe in liberty, tolerance, reason, human rights, and good governance must punish the party of Trump, which has rejected those values in favor of populist hate.
What a lede: “The fierce battle for control of Congress and the nation’s governorships has turned toward blatant and overtly racial attacks rarely seen since the civil rights era of the 1960s.”

Run for President. This year. I won’t support you, but you would be doing the country a service by giving Republicans a credible alternative to Trump.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine is likely to kill and displace innumerable people for no reason other than Vladimir Putin's greed and insanity. Now the world must cut off Russia from civilization, just as Russia has cut off Ukraine.

#goblue
Michigan having to burn timeouts because they are having trouble getting plays in on time is an obvious example of how the Big Ten’s arbitrary, spiteful suspension of the team’s head coach less than 24 hours before game time could affect the outcome of a tight game.

Dems need to coordinate their questions and stay out of the weeds—keep tying questions to the big picture. Only lawyers, including former prosecutors such as Schiff, should be taking up airtime with questions.
This is a current snapshot of commercial flights over Europe, where it is 8 am in Rome and 9 am in Kyiv. Just like that, Russia has cut off the free and independent country of Ukraine from civilization: not a single commercial flight in its airspace due to the Russian invasion.
Kudos to Senate Democrats for rejecting Republicans’ embarrassingly bad corporate bailout bill. The bill would allow the Trump administration to disburse $500 billion in loans as it sees fit. Trump won’t comment on whether it could go to his own properties.

I think Clinton was just pointing out conclusions that many dialed-in political observers had already reached. People remember the photo of Jill Stein sitting with Mike Flynn at the Russia event in 2016, and people hear Gabbard spouting Kremlin talking points on the debate stage.
@SethAbramson
Trump didn’t warn of a “civil war”—he said “Civil War like fracture.” He just doesn’t know what a hyphen is or how to hyphenate compound adjectives.
@nytopinion
Voters did not elect Trump because of his policy positions. Voters in 2020, as in 2016, will vote primarily based on their feelings about Trump and how aligned they think Trump is with their identities and values. I value good governance, for example, so I'll vote for Democrats.

@JohnCassidy
I would say it also reinforces the perception that nominating her would weaken Democratic prospects in 2020. Like it or not, most swing voters are loss-averse and don’t understand or support plans calling for wholesale transformations of the economy.
When I was thirteen, my grandparents bought me a course to study Japanese. If they hadn't bought it for me—if I had just started surfing the Internet for clues—I probably wouldn't have had the experiences of studying abroad in Japan and learning Japanese.

Democrats in Congress should be thanked for doing their constitutional duty to check a lawless president, and Republicans in Congress should be voted out for continuing to kiss Trump’s ass and do nothing.

And imagine failing at every single one of those tasks, but still being assigned new tasks because of an acute shortage of Administration officials with functioning minds.
