@ryangrim @RashidaTlaib Freedom of speech exists, or it doesn’t. Seems many are the embodiment of “freedom of speech for me but not for thee.”

So the University of Michigan has apologized for these comments being made, promised a review of their processes so it doesn’t happen again. No, seriously.

@unusual_whales Watts v United States, 394 U.S. 705 (1969). Don’t think it’s going anywhere except resources that could have gone elsewhere.

Incredible that @Comey is being dragged to court again. This time over the sea shell post. It seems like a waste of resources based on Watts v US, 394 U.S. 705 (1969). But I don’t work for the DOJ so guess it will work its way through the courts.

@TheFIREorg If this case ever goes to trial the jury instructions will be illustrative and probably where much of the appeal fight will happen.

“Netanyahu if you can hear me drop some bonbons for us capstone students in Ocean Bank Convention Center.” That’s the speech that got 23-year-old Florida International University student Gabriela Saldana charged with a felony, and sparked this reaction from a judge:

After the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops criticized the Trump administration’s treatment of immigrants in a rare, nearly unanimous special statement in November, Cardinal Michael Czerny praised them. Catholic leaders should weigh in on political issues, he said, because "life is political." “Politics is how we live together and face our problems. We can’t be nonpolitical.”

Cardinal Joseph Tobin criticizes the Trump administration's mass deportation campaign. “When they have to hide their identities to terrify people, when they can actually violate other guarantees of our Constitution and Bill of Rights, well, I think somebody's got to call that out,” he says. cbsn.ws/3Q8MaOA

💢📰 REPORT | New reporting from NYT reveals how Trump decided to go to war with Iran — after a closed-door Israeli pitch and despite deep internal divisions inside his own team. At a secret Feb. 11 Situation Room meeting, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented a four-part pitch for regime change, including a video montage of potential replacement leaders such as Reza Pahlavi. JD Vance was absent, stuck in Azerbaijan. Appearing alongside Mossad chief David Barnea and military officials, Netanyahu argued: Iran’s ballistic missile program could be destroyed in weeks. The regime would be too weak to close the Strait of Hormuz. Street protests — fomented with Mossad help — could trigger an uprising. Kurdish fighters from Iraq could open a ground front in the northwest. Trump’s response: “Sounds good to me.” Trump’s response: “Sounds good to me.” The next day, U.S. intelligence pushed back sharply. CIA Director John Ratcliffe called the regime-change scenario “farcical,” with Secretary of State Marco Rubio adding: “In other words, it’s bullshit.” Gen. Dan Caine told the president: “This is, in my experience, standard operating procedure for the Israelis. They oversell, and their plans are not always well-developed.” Trump dismissed regime change as “their problem” — but remained focused on targeting Iran’s leadership and military. By Feb. 26, in a final Situation Room meeting, opposition inside the room was clear but fractured. Vice President JD Vance warned the war could spiral and drain U.S. resources, but ultimately said: “You know I think this is a bad idea… but I’ll support you.” Rubio said regime change was unrealistic, but destroying Iran’s missile program was achievable. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was the biggest proponent of war and backed immediate action. Military leadership outlined risks, including depleted munitions and the threat to Hormuz, but all stopped short of opposing the plan. Key officials responsible for managing the fallout, like the Treasury Secretary, and DNI Gabbard were notably absent. Trump went around the table asking advisors their view, then made the call: “I think we need to do it.” The strikes began two days later.

@RickShielsPGA As a 14, I can tell you it is mid-high triple digits if I play smart and not get aggressive. But, if I’m at The Masters you know aggressive is what’s going to happen b/c you wouldn’t be there to “score” you’d be there to “experience”

@hasanthehun It's clear @jaketapper is moving @CNN towards the @FoxNews model. Find a target that distracts from the actual issues & hope that the public is distracted long enough for the interests behind the scene to avoid repercussions
