The quickening pace of corruption - the brazen use of the White House to enrich himself and his friends - is stunning. Soon, before we know it, government will no longer serve us at all. It will just be a mechanism to enrich billionaires loyal to Trump.

Several lawyer organizations have spoken out in the last two weeks against the recent threats to democracy but it's only getting picked up in the legal press. How can their messages get pushed out to other media outlets? www.law360.com/pulse/articl...

The administration directed the DOJ to halt enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a law that prohibits American companies from bribing foreign governments. The legal profession must stand up for the #ruleoflaw. LDAD's call to action for the legal community: bit.ly/40UFFkb #democracy

@alondon.bsky.social is correct. In the absence of an enforceable ethics code, it is important for judges to be able to call out ethical violations by SCOTUS justices that the justices don't seem to see (or care about) themselves. www.law360.com/cybersecurit...

To be fair, the ABA spoke out several times during the first Trump administration when he attacked judges, after Charlottesville, on Jan. 6, etc. But it needs to take steps to ensure that its message is widely publicized.

When it comes to facing challenges during the rest of 2025, “We are not going to speak out every day,” [ABA President] Bay told delegates. “Like good lawyers, we will plan. We will be strategic." I get not speaking out every day. But maybe today? Or this week? www.abajournal.com/web/article/...

If you want to help stop Trump's unlawful activities, donate to these organizations. If you are a lawyer, volunteer your services. Ask your bar organizations to call for reversal of the DOJ lawyer firings. (Among others.) It's Monday. Get moving. www.law.com/nationallawj...

I love my Senator. (And not only because he is a UConn Law graduate.) He is out there every day calling BS when he sees it.
