EXCLUSIVE: The EU and a 12-nation Indo-Pacific bloc are opening talks to explore forming one of the largest global economic alliances, multiple people with knowledge of the talks told POLITICO. Canada's Mark Carney is spearheading the discussions. 🔗 politico.eu/article/eu-and…

Thankfully, a world leader--of our closest friend and neighbor, Canada--is finally standing up to Trump. This is a historically important speech by Mark Carney, not only for Canada but for the United States and the world. Our friends and allies must stop indulging, enabling, and submitting to America's madman president. Only forthright resistance and tough love will get us out of our downward spiral.

Our Research Fellows Conference is now in session. Throughout the day, selected Fellows are sharing works in progress — from book proposals to law review articles — and receiving in-depth feedback from leading scholars in the field. We’re gratified to see such vibrant discussions and to watch the next generation of constitutional thinkers refine their ideas in collaboration with senior experts. @BottiniEleonora @RickPildes @RGrenierBenoit @lsolum @LaelWeinberger @mark_storslee @AnnikaBarkdull @charlesfcapps @tylerblindley @RandyEBarnett @shbarclay

In one sentence: "If an etiolated conception of the rule of law would be meaningless, an expanded one would dilute its essence"
