Leave them in the comments and I’ll adjust my list on Twitter. Benjamin Wittes is the co- founder and editor- in- chief of Lawfare, which is devoted to the discussion of “hard national security choices” (itself worth following: @lawfareblog). He was an editorial writer for the Washington Post for nine years and is now a senior fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution. His feed serves as both information/entertainment on its own and as an excellent shunt toward other legal tweeters.
Chafetz is law professor at Cornell and author of the forthcoming Congress’s Constitution: Legislative Authority and the Separation of Powers. According to Steve Vladeck, the editor- in- chief of Just Security (see below), he’s particularly good on the powers and role of Congress. Abramson is an attorney and professor of English at UNH and is apparently devoting his every waking moment to explaining stuff on Twitter. He has 1. 18. K followers, so I guess a lot of other people need these explanations, too. I like his lengthy threads explaining complicated matters in short sentences, because hey—if I had any kind of attention span I wouldn’t be on Twitter in the first place.
Here’s the start of an epic thread tweet, this one on criminal versus non- criminal investigations: A site dedicated to law, rights, and national security. Its co- editor- in- chief, @steve. I like Just Security for commentary on international events, especially when my attention is so glued to Washington. Goldsmith is a Harvard Law prof, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, and a co- founder of Lawfare. His laconic commentary isn’t especially hilarious, but then, what is hilarious about national security these days? But his annotations on current- events media alert me to what stories aren’t getting enough attention, as well as longer- form commentary for perspective.
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
Finally, a brief shout- out to Matt Tait (@pwnallthethings). Tait writes primarily about cybersecurity, but Benjamin Wittes notes that he also follows Tait for stuff in the legal/political/security area too.
The New York Times reports that President Trump has removed Anthony Scaramucci from his role as White House communications director. It has only been ten days since.
