I've never been more interested in law, especially Constitutional law, as I am now because of these podcasts. Thank you for making these issues more clear!!

Thank you for the update. I also thank you for yesterday's article for Just Security. It's important and informative. Another reason we can always trust its articles.

I love it when either or both of you write.

Because I can reread and reread certain sections meaningful to me.

The podcasts are wonderful especially if full transcripts are included..

But for me your written words are

🚩manifest.

okay you allow comments, without asking for money first. So ten "Kudos" candy bars to you. I have to "block" frivolous "Likes" everyday. I just had 12 "notifications" and eight of them are totally a waste of time. There is a pattern. They are about "wisdom" or "books. Lately they are just regular folks' names. These likes are apparently just to waste my time. "Hollowed out" Yes, I have noticed the phrase being used a lot lately.

The amount that’s going on daily is like drinking from a fire hose. Thank you for explaining so much easier than reading a number of articles to keep up.. You both are a treasure..

Reports of the horrible conconditions in detention facilities and lack of judicial infrastruction to handle the cases makes this cynic wonder if this has been intnetional all along. After all, holding detainees for as long as possible is in the financial best interest of the contractors who operate these facilities. It is also in their financial interest to cut corners. How were these contracts awarded (sole source?), who got the contracts (political/other connections, fair competition?), and how (if?) anyone is holding the contractors to account for failing to meet the contracts' requirements. That the Administration is trying to convert warehouses into even more detention centers suggests the intention is to round up and hold tens of thousands more people...and held for long periods due to lack of legal resources to handle the cases. It is not hard to think the disconnect between how many immigrants they are planning to hold and the inability to process them through the legal system is deliberate -- and that some people are getting richer because of it. My heart breaks for the people caught in limbo in horrible conditions and my head explodes with anger at the whole situation.

I hope everyone reads Andrew's essay in 'Just Security,' which fleshes out in a most helpful way his comments about the Epstein / Maxwell matter. I still think that somewhere at the bottom of the Justice Department's unwillingness to act -- over the course of several Presidencies -- is the matter of campaign financing. Of course you are going put pressure on the levers of accountability in order to protect big donors who have the power to keep you in your job. Thank you both for keeping us engaged and informed, and more importantly to put the news rushing at us into some kind of perspective.

I am trying to find a way to contact you. I am concerned your AI likeness is being used on YouTube without your knowledge in a fictional video. I hesitate to share the link here. You can find it, called “1 MINUTE AGO: Diplomatic Collapse, Carney Leaves White House…” as posted by “CNBnow”. I have reported it as being spam or misleading.

I firmly believe if we don’t take Trump down in the next 2 months we’re screwed. People keep saying wait till the midterms. If we don’t get rid of him, Vance, Miller and the corrupt speaker there will be no democracy left to take back. He’s obsessed with the 250th now. Well, I’m not celebrating. I had family who fought in the revolution for the things that the Republicans are taking away from us now. Let him plan, distract him and find someone with access to the Epstein

files & take them. There is nothing in the agreement that says they can’t be copied & given to the committee. There are things in there that will allow us to arrest him & someone knows who might give them up. I have a strong feeling that they have proof of Trump’s crimes. I don’t know how to get them but we have a right to them. I say this because I know he will stop

the midterms & bring us to a civil war. We have to stop him but he has the armed forces & international criminal Hegseth doing his bidding. I’m desperate and deeply unhappy.

What all these law firms bending over for trumph

How do fix that?

As always Trump acts carrying out his perceived accusations without out facts. He is unpunished "Teflon Donald" who has been repeatedly rewarded for his aggressions, a convicted felon, a habitual criminal. He will continue acting lawlessly until he is stopped.
