Recent Bluessky Posts- I gather that Trump's name came off the Kennedy Center after the courts rejected the ridiculous 11th hour attempt (unhinged brief not signed by career lawyers) to block it, but the work was done behind a tarp to block the cameras. Missed opportunity to sell tickets; might have raised real money. June 13, 2026 Michael Froomkin
- There is: Reward your friends and those who pay you. Punish opponents and perceived enemies. June 13, 2026 Michael Froomkin
- Seen at MIA in the TSA departures queue, this invitation to 'self-deport' in exchange for a $1000 per person and a free flight. Although I recall reading they don't necessarily deliver. In any case a sour taste for the start of international travel. June 13, 2026 Michael Froomkin
- In a strange way you almost could admire the Trumpies' leave-no-stone-unturned approach to graft. There is really no bottom. No limit. And justice is at best slow. June 12, 2026 Michael Froomkin

What makes you think that Bush will allow the 2008 elections to go forward?
It’d be easy to gin up a “national security emergency” that could be used to justify
invoking the emergency powers that the Administration has just outlined for itself.
What makes you think that Bush will step down on Jan 2009 if the elections _do_ go forward?
This Administrations naked power grabs are unprecedented.
Unique in American experience.
Do you think that Bush will risk the breach of the stone walls of classification
and secrecy and complicit lying that have so far shielded him and his henchmen?
Do you think that Bush will acquiesce when a solidly Democratic Congress and
a Democratic President-elect threaten to abandon his plan to park the American
military permanently on top of Iraq’s oil, and next door to Iran’s?
