Hi, all! I'm working on a few stories today, so if I'm poking around and you're around, don't be surprised to hear from me. That said, there's a ton going on, so if there's something important going on with law or govt that I need to know—or that the public needs to know, reach out! Signal: crg.32

The entire National Weather Service has a budget of around $1.5 billion, and the work the agency does saves the country tens of billions of dollars. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Trump has been trying to bully Maine Governor Janet Mills. A fight he is not winning. Her unwillingness to back down, similar to Boston Mayor @wutrain.bsky.social, is a lesson that could be well learned by some universities and law firms in our midst. 1/ www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/12/s...

Reading the transcript of Princeton's president Eisengruber on the Daily and what a cogent, powerful, and brave defense of #academic #freedom. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/p...? A few highlights, but it's worth a read.

Just watched Bernie’s set at Coachella. Wild.

OK, before I leave for real for the night, an easy (haha! I’m a Libra!) question: What should I watch? (Notes: I’m caught up on Hacks, finished White Lotus and Severance, and don’t want to watch The Pitt bc I’m squeamish and it stresses me out.)

As I’ve said, yes, this was their aim all along. That’s why they didn’t just send these people to Gitmo. This is an attempt to find a step beyond Gitmo where the court says, “Well, our hands are tied.” It’s an awful, lawless gambit that must fail, but that is what they want it to be.

I was waiting for those filings, but I am going to take the rest of the night off. Have a good evening and night, all, and let us try to be good to one another — and ourselves. {For people new to me, this is as much a reminder to me as it is a thought for others.}

Here's a report at Law Dork from @chrisgeidner.bsky.social on today's news in Kilmar Abrego Garcia's case: Here's my report at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/breaking-s...

For folks who can't seem to handle multiple thoughts in your pretty little heads: Yes, bad shit is still bad. That does not, however, change the fact that it *is* news that, following Friday's hearing, State has confirmed where Abrego Garcia is and that he is alive.

NEWS: Lawyers for Kilmar Abrego Garcia call for their client to be brought back to Maryland — and for the government to be held in contempt for its failure to comply with the court's orders in the case. They also ask for discovery into the gov't's actions. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

And even favored parts!

Y'all are really making it hard for me to provide actual information on here unless I have 30 minutes to lay out the past three months of background on any case. I'm sorry, but Law Dork is where stories are explained and fully laid out. Sometimes, if it's here, that is just not going to happen. See:
