I don’t see how, unless our entire profession stands shoulder-to-shoulder in unity, we successfully push back against this effort to break our profession and our democracy.
Cowering & compromising won’t work. He is attacking us for the success of our work.

Despicable
Cowardly
Sorry, you guys need to crush him - no deals, no compliance, ZERO PRO BONO WORK FOR THE WH.
If it means your law firms folds, so be it. The People need to lawyer up now, and you guys ARE EXACTLY THAT!!
While we wait for the good and honest to save us.
Here is what we can do as private citizens.
Jamie Raskin has legal documents to download to be sent to DOGE.
Let's get their mailbox jammed.

"I further direct the Attorney General to take all appropriate action to refer for disciplinary action any attorney whose conduct in Federal court or before any component of the Federal Government appears to violate professional conduct rules,"
"any attorney".
Seems like that should be able to carry a lot of weight, and yet ...
Most of his orders are illegal.
Found this tracker.

"...particularly in cases that implicate national security, homeland security, public safety, or election integrity" telegraphs how any defense of civil rights will be said to assail national security, homeland security, or public safety.
As long as the courts rule in my favor….March 25, 2025…
Bigly.
Just immature, spiteful, and purely authoritarian bullshit.
And — arm yourselves.
Shoulder-to-shoulder is exactly right. The only way out of this mess is together.

If that day comes when in a court of law someone calls out "Where were the judges? Where were the lawyers?"
What will YOU say?
RULE OF LAWLESS maybe💀💀💀
This orange fuckwad abused his way right into stealing the White House to destroying American government's ability to serve it's people as defined in our Constitution and subsequent laws.
#WeAreAllFucked
Fill in the blank. "The entire (legal, educational, journalistic, medical, research...) profession."
Oh, and national governance. Chuck, y'awake?
If we lose the Courts the overthrow is complete. Congress has already capitulated.
and while we do that, here is what we as private citizens can do.
Collectively we can jam DOGE mailbox.
Let get this rolling!
The first address is the one you should use.
Jamie has made it very easy for us.
Thank god many in your profession are being investigated for what they have done to our country.
Partisan law-fare must end, by force of law if necessary.
Judge. Never saw my 84 year old mother in tears for fear about her SS and medical coverage. It’s a lot different.
They are NAZI'S. They committed numerous and serious crimes agsinst the UNITED STATES.
There is no reprogramming for that.
No. They are complicit in this war were fighting. The Republicans brought a dictator to power.
You could be in for a surprise. This will not pass after 4 years. "They" are in it for a long duration. Whatever it takes...
But forget about democratic means. Anyone who still does rely on the democratic and constitutional mechanisms... They are completely unaware of what is happening.
You really still don't get it... Elections and popularity will not be relevant anymore soon.
You clearly forgot Trump's words: "After this elections you never have to vote again".
And if you still don't take him literally...Sorry, you are naive.
I think it's ridiculous to think the Trump admin - including largely reviled Vance - has the cat in the bag.
Yes, things are very bad. But presurrendering to a tinpot threat there won't be elections? Tactically as well as morally stupid.
Sometimes camouflage is better than being obvious targets.
There will be no more elections and if there will be, the GOP will have full control on the outcome. And no more judiciary to intervene.
On an open book test, and the book has an answers page.
Anything else is innuendo and not submittable.
I’m a subscriber too.
A vengeful WH is inherently selfish, not working for the country or its people.
Is it not illegitimate? If every action it takes is illegal, unlawful, & deeply unpopular because it seeks to harm the country and the people?

And why DEI is under attack, not because it was unfair, but because it worked.
They will totally control the lawyers and judges
In Canada we feel the same way for other reasons, but cowering is not our thing either.
useless organization or the most useless organization
So if someone is cowering, or refusing to play, or hinting about turncoating, you take them outside and you talk it out now. The conversation isn’t over till they’re ready to stand together.
This isn’t politics; this is hostile government takeover.
