I founded and chair an "elite law firm" and we are not in retreat. I have spoken with many other "elite" firm leaders that are staffing up. What the WSJ means is large corporate law firms. Please do not confuse quality with cowardice.

JD Vance claimed on X that “Slava Ukraini” protesters followed him & shouted at his daughter. Guess he didn’t realize it was caught on camera. No one yelled at his kid, and they didn’t follow them. Vance & Musk need to quit using children as shields. The public isn’t backing down—we want answers.

Very sad and disappointing

The USDA 1890 National Scholars Program reopened after the federal government suspended it pending a review. buff.ly/aJry3up

Smart decision.

Social Security makes up a significant part of my retirement income. It's clear to me that SSA employees are stretched thin and that they are under-resourced. This would be awful for everyone.

Interested in holding a similar event to speak out for Medicaid? The organizers of this weekend’s action have put together a toolkit. Find it at docs.google.com/document/d/1...

‘Move fast and break things’ only works for people who have never had to clean up after themselves.

Thanks!

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

Bravo

Actual question from reporter: "Why don't you wear a suit?" Ukrainian President Zelenskyy: "I will wear costume after this war will finish."

The wealthy commit fraud WAY MORE than the rest of us do. They also serve WAY LESS time in prison.

Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.

Get in good trouble, necessary trouble.

everyone seeing how when you takeaway the DEI the planes start falling out of the sky

Horrible loss

CNN: The Office of Personnel Management formally notified agencies this afternoon that the “What did you do last week” email sent over the weekend is voluntary and failure to respond will not equate to a resignation, according to an email obtained by CNN. www.cnn.com/politics/liv...

Currently appearing at UK bus-stops. More of this pointed ridicule, please.

The United States just voted against a United Nations resolution condemning Russia for invading Ukraine. The US sided with Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and the Grand Ayatollah of Iran.

Breaking news! The court just issued us a TRO in our lawsuit against Elon Musk's DOGE, so that they stop taking the private data of American citizens from the Department of Ed and OPM. More to come.

For families of transgender children, the announcement brought a wave of relief after weeks of heartbreak and scrambling to find new places to receive care.

BREAKING: Judge blocks deportation from US of 8 asylum-seekers. Judge Randolph Moss (Obama appointee) enters administrative stay as legal basis for the deportations isn't clear at moment. But one woman may be gone already (more below) w/@kyledcheney www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Hell. Fucking. No. Trump and Musk are coming for the World Trade Center Health Program. I’m one of thousands of 9/11 First Responders that are enrolled in the program. They actually called me last week to schedule my annual appointment. ny1.com/nyc/all-boro...

This is incredible.

Another disturbing development - horrid

Musk is acting like he runs the U.S. government—but the Constitution does not allow an unelected super-president We’re taking him & DOGE to court to impose consequences I’ll discuss tonight at 6PM ET on @msnbc.com w/ @jonathancapehart.bsky.social

I hope social work organizations don't walk this back in the correct political environment.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

so special ed programs are getting gutted because their internal documentation used the term "transition" when talking about helping disabled kids enter the working world. they're literally striking at that word wherever they see it.

JUST IN: A federal judge in Washington state, who blocked Trump's executive order re: transgender health care, says it is unconstitutional in multiple ways, including usurping Congress' power of the purse storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.
