This pardon of Hunter Biden better be the first of a huge flurry of commutations. There are so many cases even more deserving than this one that the Pardon Attorney has recommended granting, and they're just waiting for Biden's signature.

First the journalism. I've seen similar framing in stories by @nytimes and @TheAtlantic and elsewhere. Supposedly skeptical journalists have swallowed hook, line and sinker the framing these guys push forth. I see no challenge. It's like an ad for this place. 1/

One thing about Trump is I’m constantly learning about new lows in in the human race and the gag-worthy phrases that describe them. nytimes.com/2024/10/07/us/po… via @NYTimes
Thrilled to welcome Alexis today to talk about an aspirational and provocative proposal!
Excited to discuss my forthcoming article Universal Public Defense with @klevine02’s Abolition class today @CardozoLaw. It asks what impact the abolition of private defense counsel would have on the criminal adjudication system.

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and California Suite won her Oscars, but this line reading from Downton Abbey made her iconic. RIP to the great Maggie Smith.
