It's long past time for editorial boards across the U.S. to call for Trump to: (1) resign; (2) be removed via the 25th Am; and (3) to be impeached. They don't have to choose which way he should be removed, but they must explicitly argue that he cannot be allowed to remain POTUS.

Trump doesn't have the power to fire court-appointed U.S. attorneys, a federal judge ruled. Judge ordered that Roger Rogoff, whom Trump purportedly fired, has been U.S. attorney since July. Also barred Trump/DOJ from interfering w/Rogoff's authority.

Y'all I just caught the Kennedy Center claiming it isn't closing while telling vendors it's closing and now they're selling all of their Steinway pianos

A modest suggestion: Let us resist the temptation to engage in any debate about the Watergate special prosecution. This particular insanity shall pass.
BREAKING WSJ:
The Trump Justice Department is reviewing whether the special prosecutor's office that investigated Watergate committed misconduct.
A revisionist historian went to DOJ HQ to present his case that Richard Nixon and his associates weren't treated fairly. wsj.com/us-news/law/decades-…

Next up . . . Did the Union really win the Civil War?
The DOJ is reviewing whether the special prosecutor’s office that investigated the famed Watergate break-in committed misconduct, more than half a century after that scandal led to Nixon’s resignation. @PhilipWegmann & @sgurman

I'm sorry to disappoint a lot of people but I have just
received a good bill of health from the medics
Basically, the doctors don't yet know what I am going to die of
This means that I can keep my options open

I oppose the death penalty on multiple grounds. Always have. It is barbaric and does not accomplish anything. And this here is torture, plain and simple. We need to get out of the death business.

When people ask me how I, as a Jew, can support @AbdulElSayed, it’s bc nothing is more dangerous to religious minorities in the U.S. than the creation of a state religion. Mike Rogers will confirm judges hellbent on destroying any separation of church & state. Abdul will not,

This is Cereese Qusba, the hero investigative journalist for the Cornell Daily Sun who doggedly pursued the story about the Cornell 7 for two years, blowing the lid off what had happened when her article was finally published on the 19th..
With so many dark posts about such a horrific incident, Ms. Qusba’s work shows the importance of journalism in accountability. She is the best of Cornell.
