As a former federal prosecutor (for 20 years) I agree with every word in this letter. We took an oath to uphold the Constitution, not to capitulate to the whims of any President --for all the reasons that are abundantly clear right now.

Chilling words today from Judge Wilkinson of the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals: "The Executive may succeed for a time in weakening the courts, but over time history will script the tragic gap between what was and all that might have been, and law in time will sign its epitaph."

Doesn't surprise me that Sidley & Austin finds itself on the wall of shame. Started my legal career there before joining the DC US Atty's Office-- worst two years of my life.

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc. Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight? scienceimpacts.org H/T to Prathima !

Jon Ossoff would like a few minutes of your time. This is one of the best campaign videos I ever seen. Though aimed specifically at Georgia residents it should resonate with anyone who cares about the direction our nation is heading toward.

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…
