Who would have thought that bending at the knee without a fight to the Trump administration might not appear to be a strong selling point for a law firm? finance.yahoo.com/news/microso...

A grotesque injustice by a cowardly company that deserves to be called out for its denigration of the constitution. And an illustration of Trump’s malign influence even beyond the targets of his reprisal agenda. popular.info/p/fortune-50...

With new Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs (senior official who helped keep 2020 election secure) and law firm that won $788m settlement against Fox News. A must read from Weds, by Harold Koh. Discussing amicus brief signed by esteemed bipartisan former officials. Also a great history lesson

Participating in a #handsoff protest in a small town yesterday was tremendously gratifying. I was unsure what to expect, but joining several hundred people in the cold & rain to voice our dissatisfaction provided a real sense of solidarity. Much more work to do!

Pam Bondi’s brother is running for DC Bar president. Ed Martin’s deputy is running for DC Bar treasurer. If like me you’re a DC lawyer who doesn’t usually vote in DC bar elections: time to start

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

"Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.

The even worse thing about @schumer.senate.gov 's collaboration with the Republican budget is that with each statement he makes, he's setting up Dems to look bad no matter how the vote turns out. He's been played so thoroughly that he should simply be as quiet as he's been for the past 50+ days.

@schumer.senate.gov 's weakness is so deeply shameful. A yes vote is a vote of approval on the dismantling of the US government. For shame. Your complicity will be your legacy.

1. The DOGE website is garbage. The claimed savings has no relationship to the data provided. And the data that is provided grossly inflates the savings from each canceled contract. So we just launched our own site — the Musk Watch DOGE Tracker — that breaks everything down.

This is fascism. If you've ever wondered what you would do, now is the moment when you find out. If there is a protest, go to it. If not, organize one. Call Congress. If you have a microphone, now is the time to use it. The historical record is crystal clear. This will not stop here.
