“The lack of specific information about each individual actually highlights the risk they pose.” Something the Department of Justice actually wrote in a brief. In 2025. My word.

Reached out to a very distant acquaintance at Perkins just to say "wow, this is really outrageous and fucked up, sorry you're going through it" and she was sincerely appreciative of other lawyers reaching out. Just sharing for those of you who may be wondering "should I say something to them"?

OK, charts thread! Starting with the top line: Job growth has been a bit slower to start the year, but remains solid. Note, though, that these figures pre-date most of the cuts in federal government jobs. #NumbersDay #EconSky

“Not wavering” under the pressure of the White House actually is an achievement and one that’s worth praising. It’d be nice if other media outlets cared about journalism enough to stand alongside them.

This is not normal. Do not let anyone normalize what is happening.

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

I, in fact, under no circumstances, in any universe, for any reason, on any day, in any way have to give credit to MAGA for ANYTHING. Hard pass, Cenk. I know MAGA better than you do - they're my family, my neighbors, acquaintances, people I once respected, friends who dumped me for Trump. No. Way.

This is the trans athletic scare that has half the nation in a tizzy. It’s manufactured fear, playing off of ignorance and bigotry.

I’m on the road much of these next 2 weeks, so Mabel, my black lab, is staying at a farm in Virginia. With a bunch of new friends. I thought she’d miss me, but looks like she’s having fun.

Any attorney out there want to come work with me and colleagues in the Office of General Counsel? We've got an opening for an Assistant Counsel! We're going to be busy, but I think it's safe to say, there will be interesting appellate work in the federal labor sector. Let me know!

Yes, there are lots of negatives around the Pete Hegseth nomination -- the rampant alcoholism, the allegations of sexual assault, the hush money payment to an accuser, the total incompetence leading non-profits, and so on. But ask yourself: Does all that outweigh the total lack of positives?

I get it. You don't like that Trump is getting away with all the crimes. He was indicted, the trial date was set, and you knew he had to lose the election or he was never going to see prison. It's easy to blame Biden, or Garland, or Smith, but before you do, blame everyone who voted for Trump.
