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.

“Man, was I wrong.”

It would be a real shame if y'all shared this online, printed out a few and hung up all around the Eastern Shore of Maryland. 😉

A couple of golf outings could pay for over 300 federal jobs for an entire year.

So Trump imposes blanket tariffs, and only when a CEO pays him $5 million will he offer a carveout. Anyone who thinks he’s “draining the swamp” is either complicit or a fool.

Go Warren, GO!! ✨

Columbia called the cops on students— *like trump wanted*— & this is how Trump responds. One should never comply with evil, but if even your complicity with evil will not save you— & it will not— then why comply? Do not comply; not in advance, not at all. Fight for the right thing, no matter what.

This is some excellent good trouble

Might save a life.

Why is everything they do an incompetent shit show?

DOGE Staffers Cash In While Slashing Jobs This is one of the least surprising things I’ve read all week. 📌 Musk’s gov’t efficiency crew is drawing healthy taxpayer-funded salaries—from the very agencies they are cutting.

Spot the difference

Sometimes it's hard to attribute economic outcomes to the President. Not this time.

A pink Hermès handbag sold for $35,000 at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home while people struggle to pay for rent and groceries.

AMERICA! Your Russian asset, convicted felon, racist and rapist President! Such a gdamn embarrassment! One way or another, he must be removed. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1

I smell some good trouble

If you are a govt lawyer and literally ANYONE tries to pressure you into voting for a particular bar candidate please contact a non-govt lawyer ASAP. Doesn't matter what candidate. I would normally explain what "pressure" means here but you're lawyers so you can figure it out.

Ya’ll Anchorage did it again. March from Town Square to senator’s office. The demand: an in person town hall. None of that online crap. Entire city block filled with angry constituents. Sullivan, Murkowski, Begich—set the date for a REAL town hall or Alaskans will.

When Trump tells you tonight about tariffs and winning or tries to blame Joe Biden for the recession coming for us, remember Prime Minister Trudeau’s words today, March 4th, 2025. “Your government has chosen to do this to you.” The MAGAs hate America and hard-working families.

ALL of the Republicans are standing up and cheering for DOGE, Elon Musk, and Trump’s “policies.” Remember that when you’re unemployed and can’t afford your basic necessities because of Trump’s tariffs.

🌞 Good Morning 🥰 Happy Hump Day 🤩😍😎 🌞 Is he still talking? . . . 🤪

President Trump says rates of pediatric cancer are way up, but his incompetent fanatics on DOGE fired my guest tonight, Dr. Lauren McGee, a remarkable pediatric cancer researcher who was sacked from NIH as part of Musk’s Valentine’s Day onslaught.

Starting this week, we’ll all pay more at the store because of the Trump tariffs, even while he’s finalizing a multi-trillion-dollar tax cut for the wealthy. All the bluster is meant to get us talking about literally anything else.

The Most Memorable Moment Of Trump’s Speech: It wasn’t Rep. Al Green (D-TX) being escorted out of the House chamber or the long list of Trump absurdities. Nope, it was Trump rubbing Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts’ face in their mutual corruption: talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

This is a Free Speech Zone, unless you’re black. ~ Speaker Mike Johnson

Trump Broke The Law By 5:4 vote, SCOTUS rules Trump did not have the authority to stop USAID payments that help feed malnourished kids, manage the spread of HIV, fight epidemics, educate children, provide clean water and more

Johnson is about to do ANOTHER CR to keep govt open until Sept, since he has been unable to pass his own budget. This was Johnson in NOV 2023: “I’m done with CRs. We are. We’re resolved.” He has repeatedly broken every promise he made in this clip, & is about to do it again.

Crockett: I want to be clear about one thing. Women's issues, they are all of our issues. Because the last time I checked, we all came from a woman.

Here are the facts about Donald Trump’s economy: ✅ record high egg prices ✅ the Dow Jones plummeting ✅ consumer confidence at a three year low ✅ trade wars with Canada and Mexico

This really tells you all you need to know. They claim to support vets, and they know how to play the game with messaging and symbolism to exploit their patriotism, but every once in a while the mask slips and you see that they really think we’re just suckers and losers. bsky.app/profile/atru...

#SOTU

Mike Johnson thinks he's a good actor. Mike Johnson thinks he's a good Speaker. Mike Johnson thinks he's a good person. He is none of these. Mike Johnson is, however, a sycophant among sycophants. #BodyLanguage #BodyLanguageExpert #SOTU.

Social Security isn't sending checks to dead people over 120. Tariffs aren't beautiful, but they are raising prices on groceries, beer, and cars. Elon Musk is taking away veterans' healthcare and childcare for families. Presidents are supposed to be truth-tellers, not liars.

In case facts still matter…
