… what else is new? That didn’t take long: After U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan made explicit Friday that she will do whatever is necessary to protect the integrity of the proceedings in the Jan. 6 case of U.S. v. Trump, the former president resumed his public attacks on her and her proceedings. In posts and reposts on his Truth Social platform, Trump impugned Chutkan, her motives, and the proceedings against him. Not surprising or unprecedented to anyone who has paid even a smidge of attention to Trump’s history of acting out in legal matters, but no less damaging or destructive or corrosive to the rule of law. The latest attack last night: An earlier repost by Trump from the weekend: What will be done about it? What can be done about it? Judge Chutkan can haul him into court and read him the riot act, she can impose further restrictions on his out-of-court statements, and she can ultimately hold him in contempt, even remand him into custody pending trial.

We are very excited to announce that the 14th Australian International Political Economy Network (AIPEN) workshop will be held at the Australian National University on February 7-9, 2024.
Sponsored by the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific, the ANU School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet), and the Department of International Relations, the organising themes will broadly (but not exclusively) pertain to “Political Economy in an Age of Crises: Rethinking Power, Practice, and Regulatory Purpose.” Over the past quarter century, crises have been the rule, rather than the exception, posing challenges for regulators across “fast moving” discrete events like the Asian Financial Crises, the Global Financial Crisis, the COVID pandemic and “slow moving” or existential concerns for climate change, global health, and new technologies spanning social media through the rise of artificial intelligence.

The utter gall of these Republicans never fails to astonish me. They outdo themselves. And yes, I have to say that it’s a little bit weird that the Democrats didn’t take a deeper look at this when they had the majority in the House. And the last I heard, they have the majority in the Senate. But I guess Trump’s kids are still off limits, even the ones who were his closest White House advisers while he was president. Nice for them.
