Isn't entering an arrangement like this a breach of professional ethics that would get lesser known firms and lawyers into trouble? ABA's Model Rules of Professional Conduct provides guidelines for various jurisdictions. Seems pretty clear.

Today, we remembers the death of the German Protestant theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was executed on this day in 1945 for his active opposition to Nazism. May his courage and his memory never be forgotten. #dietrichbonhoeffer #resist #theology #religion #christianity #Nazism #fascism #MAGA

It's hard to believe that this is from 90 years ago. This same disaster is going on today, in the US of all places. Exchange the word "H*tler" for "Tr*mp" = same exact result. #Nazism #Oligarchy #HumanRights #Deportation #Militarism #SeparationOfChurchAndState

When it comes to political terminology, I know there are many nuances, and historical contexts to consider but I know #Nazism when I see it. America, are we going to allow this? It seems like we are.

Yes, they ( #MAGA idiots ) voted for this www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-tari...

Agreed! I would say that he has more felony convictions than any person he's deported.

The U.S. House of Representatives voted Thursday to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, a major voter suppression measure that, if it became law, could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters and badly undermine U.S. democracy. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Of course, elite #Trump insiders and allies know what he will do in advance and act accordingly if they are brazen enough and confident that the law can't touch them.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

"Anyone sounding the all-clear on #tariffs should be kept away from sharp objects and banned from operating heavy machinery. We’re in a hardly better place than we were before the tariff pause. In fact, we may be in a worse place. "Let me make four points about Trump’s post-pause tariff regime."

They will be coming for us little fish after they're done with the big ones.

The people still working for ICE are members of the American Gestapo. "Just following orders" isn't going to absolve them of this shame. If this were a moral country, no one would work for ICE.

this tariff stuff has been a ride, but it also feels like a distraction from the fact that any federal law enforcement agency that can get anyone -- u.s. citizen or no -- into a foreign jail can now disappear that person with zero due process www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/o...

In less than one week, many Americans will no longer be able to apply for Social Security benefits over the phone, setting the stage for disruptions and upheaval. Nearly 6 million seniors live more than 46.6 miles, roundtrip, from a field office, per a new analysis. trib.al/5XSPqyL

Americans seeking retirement or survivor benefits from the Social Security Administration will no longer be able to apply over the phone, starting next week.

I took a ride through a slice of Green Mountain National Forest today. It was beautiful, but I wonder for how much longer. Will it be logged out? #Trump is a monster. www.nationalforests.org/our-forests/...

The bar for good government is now set as low as it can go.

NEW: The Supreme Court took 6 months to decide immunity, but just 6 days to effectively strip the rest of us of due process. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-corrup...

Well now, we all know who was actually rigging elections, don't we?! I'm not one to follow conspiracy theories, but what are odds of winning all 7 swing states?

We wouldn’t be here if SCOTUS had allowed the January 6th trial to go forward as scheduled.

The Trump administration froze funding for a program to upgrade aging low-income housing and make it energy efficient. The move threatens hundreds of projects around the country. By @jenniferludden.bsky.social

Playing around with CBP airport processing data this morning to see how much air travel by non-US passengers is cratering.
