This is deranged. Certain segments of the press has just decided that it's no longer okay to criticize Trump at all, basically. https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/14/media/msnbc-morning-joe-pulled-trump-assassination/index.html

The majority opinion also disregards rule of law by virtue of the participation in the case by Clarence Thomas, whose wife played an active role supporting the effort to overturn the lawful election results in 2020, and by the participation of justices who owe their appointments to Trump, the beneficiary of the majority’s position. 6/ #JudicialEthics

I see folks saying they are confident that ultimately this Supreme Court will reject Trump’s claim that presidents have absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts. I’m not. I meant it every time I have said that Trump appointed Justices Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Coney Barrett are almost certainly in the tank for him. Were they not, they’d be recusing themselves from all his appeals, as their participation certainly has, at the least, the appearance of impropriety. 1/ #LawFedi

Trump urges Supreme Court to delay Jan. 6 case amid immunity appeal

Former President Trump on Monday urged the Supreme Court to keep his federal election subversion criminal trial on hold as he appeals a ruling that he doesn’t have immunity from the charges.

Beyond aggravating that the Washington Post tonight has this headline: “Was the notion of a competitive Republican primary just a mirage?” Yes. Yes it was, one made up by media outlets like the Washington Post.

Hardly a surprise that DeSantis allies would react to our AAUP report by shouting "hoax" and "sensational press"—after all, as Afshan Jafar, Emily Houh, Hank Reichman, and I write in today's Tampa Bay Times, a frequent word our interviewees used to describe Florida's current reality is "Orwellian": https://www.tampabay.com/opinion/2023/12/16/heres-why-we-fear-dystopian-future-floridas-universities-column/

Final, 53-page report of AAUP's Special Committee on Florida, on which I have had the privilege of serving, is now published. Some themes from our dozens of interviews: "[T]he reality in Florida is 'Orwellian,' and Florida is the 'canary in a coal mine.'.... Being a bystander is no longer an option." https://www.aaup.org/report/report-special-committee-political-interference-and-academic-freedom-florida%E2%80%99s-public-higher
Report of a Special Committee: Political Interference and Academic Freedom in Florida’s Public Higher Education System

This report details the findings of the special committee appointed by the AAUP to investigate the state of academic freedom and political interference in Florida, focusing on the threats to higher education and the foundational principles of shared governance that have intensified under the DeSantis regime. Following a preliminary report released in May 2023, this final report reaffirms the "chilling effect on academic freedom" outlined in the preliminary report and expands on how AAUP-supported principles and standards are implicated.
