Lawyers who fail to stand up for other lawyers who are being targeted by the Trumpers are being very bad lawyers, in addition to being cowards. The Trump Regime is attacking the rule of law; and without the rule of law, there will not be much of a need for lawyers.

Destroy the country then give yourself a vacation. What a gig.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

One of the greatest tricks that Donald Trump and Elon Musk ever pulled is to convince millions of people that DOGE is about government efficiency. It's about narcissistic, resentful destruction: The Death of Government Expertise. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The shock and awe Musk, Vought, Bannon and Trump — are bringing will backfire if we’re smart about it. Make clear that DOGE is the Dept of Govt Extermination, not Efficiency. Let people see that their taxes are no longer paying for vital public services but to fatten the richest people on earth.

Trump's purge of longtime federal employees isn't meant to improve efficiency or keep us safer. It's to install loyalists who will punish his political enemies and increase his wealth. We are all going to suffer from more accidents, diseases, rising inflation, and spiking crime as a result.

Another of the many blatantly illegal actions this Administration is undertaking. If Congressional Repubs were serious about upholding their oaths to "support and defend the Constitution" they'd be calling this out, launching inquiries, and refusing to confirm these criminals.

I think people are kinda missing the point of what Trump is talking about by dismantling FEMA. His vision is clearly that the federal government helps red states and lets blue states fend for themselves. Trump is not going to screw over red states, but he'll gladly punish blue ones.

Trump ordered agencies to stop making payments through the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. This sowed confusion, led the Federal Highway Administration to halt payments, and put road and bridge projects in jeopardy. minnesotareformer.com/2025/01/24/t...

Donald Trump wants to deport millions. He has no plans to lower the cost of groceries. He is gearing up to implement a dangerous agenda and distract you by extending the TikTok ban. Don’t fall for it.
