Conservatives said 'judges should not make policy' and 'should issue decisions as narrowly as possible.'

'Instead, the Court granted cert on the widest grounds' and said, “We’re writing a rule for the ages.”

All of us are dues-paying members, but only a few of us hang out every year with Clarence Thomas at Harlan Crow’s place

Don't blame the Court for having to consider the question of presidential immunity for criminal acts, writes Andrew Egger.

Blame Trump, the serial lawbreaker and abuser of institutions, for putting the justices and the country in this unprecedented position. lnk.thebulwark.com/3WhL5VU

In this pod with Sarah Longwell, George Conway explains why defenders of democracy should share the Court's interest in limiting prosecution of ex-presidents.

Trump isn't just a defendant. You also have to worry about him trying to jail his predecessor. lnk.thebulwark.com/4dcqCHT

Thanks, we’re getting on this right away.

“'Ukraine fatigue' in the West is another Kremlin narrative meant to be self-fulfilling.'

In fact, 'the selling of such narratives in the West is the only strategy by which Russia could win this war.'

This would not have happened without Jonathan V. Last. It happened because he believes in doing important work and he gave me the chance to try.

I’m so lucky to have him and my wonderful The Bulwark colleagues, and all of you who support us as we try to restore sanity in this world.❤️

When I asked about doing this as a podcast, guess who told me it was a great idea? And gave me space on his platform to do it?

Can’t write a history of this crazy time without a tribute to Charlie Sykes, the guy who kept his head screwed on when everyone around him lost theirs.

Huge congrats to Will Saletan (wsaletan on Threads) for winning a Webby for his magnificent takedown of Lindsey Graham!

'The impeachment was preposterous. It was a nakedly political ploy, more damning in what it revealed about the GOP than in what it said about Mayorkas.' Now that it's good and done, Will Saletan (wsaletan on Threads) writes the deserved obituary for the Mayorkas impeachment: thebulwark.com/p/mayorkas-imp…

'Republicans never had a case that Mayorkas had committed high crimes. All they had was a popular issue and a House majority that was willing to abuse the impeachment process.'

'They succeeded in exposing corruption. Unfortunately, it was their own.'

My Kevin and the GOP establishment poobahs convinced themselves the only way to lead the House GOP was by being Trump lapdogs. This weekend Mike Johnson showed how wrong that was. My latest on Kevin’s miscalculations thebulwark.com/p/my-kevin-sho…

'Americans have made themselves so willfully blind about what happened in 2020 that they are seriously considering reelecting the man who managed the greatest failure of the federal government in a century.'

Loved this pod with Tim Miller. We previewed Johnson's move to save Ukraine.

We need leaders—including those who've done lots of bad things—to think: 'This bill ... might cost me my career. But it doesn't end the history of me. It *makes* the history of me.' lnk.thebulwark.com/3W9dPzL
