Could Trump be criminally liable for inciting the #January6th insurrection? Find the answer in a just-published article I co-authored (w/ @micazriel), titled "ā€œWe Fight Like Hellā€: Applying Brandenburg to Trump’s Speech Surrounding the U.S. Capitol Siege"

...this article concludes that the three key elements of the speech test—advocacy, incitement, imminence—are satisfied.

President Trump’s long-running series of declarations that ā€œnobodyā€ knew or expected things that were widely known or expected has continued into the Iran war:

When President Donald Trump says ā€œnobodyā€ knew or expected something, that often means lots of people knew or expected it.

I wrote earlier that this article suggests that the mainstream media is starting to catch up with reality. Yes, but also no. It is grasping that this is a strategic error, but is nowhere near understanding the scale of it. It focusses, as is usual, on the immediate consequences:

COMMENTARY: Donald Trump’s decision to join Israel in a war against Iran is a far bigger strategic error than George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq. It is also one with far greater strategic consequences. šŸ”— https://t.co/xdO7f7UEzr

Mamdani is modeling a new style of next-gen leadership -- one we're going to see more and more of as millennials & gen Z take on positions of power in the next 5+ years.

There’s a real advantage to being young and governing: being able to work long hours. But there are potential tradeoffs to Mamdani's all-in management style.

FCC Chair: Trump is winning. Look at the results—PBS and NPR defunded. Joy Reid, Sleepy-Eyed Chuck Todd, Jim Acosta, John Dickerson are gone. Colbert is leaving. CBS is under new ownership, and soon enough CNN will have new ownership as well.

Trump: I've heard that today Blinken made a statement that he should have done it. Thanks a lot, I appreciate it. Blinken is Biden’s guy I guess. Who the hell knows who he is. But he came out with the statement that they should have done it, they made a mistake

Zohran Mamdani is being heckled right now at a press conference in Brooklyn, NY, by someone whose words I can't hear, but watch how he's dealing with it. Mamdani has the unique skill of knowing how to handle and walk into every room and engage with people, no matter how toxic

The Supreme Court spent 3 hours on Monday arguing over whether to change a century and a half of election law in order to soothe Donald Trump's bruised ego. They just might. Because the GOP and their justices are beyond craven. My latest in @thenation https://t.co/EXckxxZ4Eo

The GOP shouldn’t win this case, but the fact that Trump has been throwing a tantrum about it for years means they likely will.

A NY Times article reporting that the US helped Ecuador bomb what turned out to be a dairy includes these *very* serious allegations of torture. Torture _during a military operation in which US personnel participated_.

China’s solar power plant in Dunhuang uses around 12,000 mirrors to focus sunlight onto a central tower, heating molten salt to extreme temperatures. That heat is stored and used to generate electricity on demand, including after sunset. https://t.co/87mmRPMr5h
