Anyone who thinks AI should be trusted to write a legal brief is an idiot. All you have to do is see how much the Google AI assistant makes up. AI is crap.

Kilmer Abrego’s wife having to relocate after having her home address shared by DHS publicly is what dictatorships do Specifically it’s how the Venezuelan and Nicaraguan regimes mobilize paramilitaries to harm political dissidents That’s where we’re at now Impeach trump and prosecute his regime

Your friendly reminder that it is literally a federal felony punishable by up to five years in prison for the President, Vice President, or any employee of the White House to directly or indirectly ask the IRS to open an investigation into any specific taxpayer.

I am often asked by young lawyers for career advice, and the one thing I always tell them is that no case, client, or job is worth harming your reputation. It sounds trite, but it really does take a lifetime to build up your reputation, and only seconds to lose (or severely damage) it.

If you can’t see that being Hispanic in the US in 2025 is eerily similar to being Jewish in Germany in 1933, I don’t know what to say. www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

. This is your reminder that Republicans in Congress could STOP HIM ANY TIME they choose. They simply REFUSE to do it. They watch him commit high crimes & misdemeanours on a daily basis… And THEY REFUSE TO STOP HIM. This is on them. All of it.

Is this who we are? Never mind, don’t answer that. 🇺🇸 😕 www.theadvocate.com/acadiana/new...

The S&P 500 has lost 10.5% of its value in two days. Since 1980, we've only seen larger declines three other times: the '87 crash, Nov 2008, and Mar 2020. And those weren't due to policy choices. This may be the largest self-imposed destruction of wealth ever.

Honestly this is like hearing that Stephen Miller got arrested for fucking a corpse. I’m like “huh, yeah, okay, that makes sense.”

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

The movie Brazil is as much required viewing as 1984 is required reading to understand the fascists’ endeavors now that they have gained the levers of power in America. youtu.be/A_7ATU9dslE?...

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

White Lotus star Jason Isaacs speaking to The Newsagents, "People get very annoyed when actors speak out about politics" "My retort, there's a reality star in the While House"

Yep

Sending a Russian dissent back to Russia to be tortured and/or killed perfectly encapsulates this loathsome administration’s lack of American values.

#TrumpDidThis

You know who could really make a difference right now by standing up in favor of legal principles, the rule of law and the independence of the legal profession? Fabled Republican BigLaw firms like Kirkland & Ellis, Sullivan & Cromwell and Jones Day. “Yet they remain silent.”

Most clarifying era in politics in America as anything I can recall because it’s so simple: You’re either for this or against. Pick a side.

The Great Horse — Albrecht Dürer, 1505

Exactly. The chat shows there is no question that, at the highest levels of the Trump admin, people are deliberately and routinely avoiding the use of secure government channels of communication. That's not a bookkeeping issue. It's mens rea, it's consciousness of guilt.

still can't believe elon musk made a pontiac aztek for racists

Ah, he never disappoints.
