The Federal Trade Commission voted to ban noncompete agreements for almost all American workers, ruling that they unfairly block employees from changing jobs and restrict competition. semafor.com/article/04/23/…

If Republican justices invent “official acts immunity” to protect Trump from trial before the election, Biden can convene Congress to contemplate court packing, and when Johnson tries to gavel out the House over Schumer’s objection, he can suspend Congress indefinitely. Immune.
A reader wrote to me suggesting a connection between the Manhattan hush-money trial and Thursday’s immunity argument at the Supreme Court. In slow-walking the immunity case, the reader wrote, the justices are engaged in their own catch-and-kill operation.
If any military unit in any country commits gross human rights violations, U.S. military aid must be suspended to that unit. Israel has a special vetting process. Learn more here ⤵️ x.com/repkatieporter…
I was briefed by @StateDRL last week on how it investigates human rights abuses like these. TL;DR: The system is opaque and inconsistent, and it’s on Congress to conduct oversight and fix it. A 🧵 with some thoughts: ⤵️ (1/6)
Before these findings were sent to @SecBlinken, where they have been collecting dust for months, Israel was given the opportunity to hold the specific units accountable. They did not. The law is the law, and it clearly requires aid be suspended immediately.
NEW: Biden administration determines that three military battalions with IDF committed "gross human rights violations" against Palestinian civilians in West Bank but will remain eligible for U.S. military aid, @ABC News has learned. Read more: trib.al/1FSgSyF

It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

Charmed as ever by the libertarian capacity to be extremely and loudly correct on about four issues.
According to Gov. Abbott’s own post, he is violating the First Amendment. A governor can’t lawfully arrest people for protesting or for “hate speech.” If he’s arresting them for other reasons, then he should say so. If he’s arresting them for their speech, then he’s violating the…

The assassination of political rivals as an official act. Understand what the Trump team is arguing for here. Take it seriously and at face value. This is not a game.
Sotomayor: If the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person and he orders the military to assasinate him, is that within his official acts to which he has immunity? "That could well be an official act," Trump lawyer John Sauer says

I've seen no credible reporting of actual antisemitic incidents at the UT Austin protest. What I can tell you is that I've reported on numerous neo-Nazi events and Greg Abbott never once tried to put any of them in jail.
Arrests being made right now & will continue until the crowd disperses. These protesters belong in jail. Antisemitism will not be tolerated in Texas. Period. Students joining in hate-filled, antisemitic protests at any public college or university in Texas should be expelled.
“We are seeing what one risk-taking, strategic, smart trade union leader can do in less than a year. He has created a movement in less than 12 months.”
Renowned labor organizer Jane McAlevey (@rsgexp) says the UAW's success in unionizing a Volkswagen plant in Tennessee was "a beatdown" of management. A bigger test, she says, will be whether workers can do the same at Mercedes in Alabama.
