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.

Raskin: "This is what Viktor Orban has done in Hungary -- to clear out the civil service with real expert professionals and people devoted to the public interest and replace them with a bunch of party hacks and sycophants to the dear leader."

MAGA Mike Johnson said on Fox News that he would not tolerate such “shameful” behavior on the House floor and that Mr. Green’s attacks violated the body’s rules on decorum. Funny how only Democrats are supposed to abide by the rules of decorum.

Trump wants to fire 83k VA workers, many of whom are veterans themselves, decimating the VA & making it harder for veterans to get health care & benefits. When Americans put their lives on the line to defend our country, we must keep our commitments to them — not betray them.

Connolly: "The fallacy of Musk's argument is they never look at revenue. They only look at expenditures. If you want to save social security, it's a fairly easy fix. Raise income threshold subject to withholding tax & you can extend social security by 40 to 50yrs. He doesn't want to talk about that"

It’s incredible that Trump’s people say the answer to bird flu is supposedly “better biosecurity” while they’re firing the biosecurity people.

BREAKING: Senator Mitch McConnell announces that he will not seek reelection in 2026 — bringing an end to one of the single most destructive political careers in American history. He will be remembered for his cruelty and greed and for helping pave the wave for MAGA fascism. Good. Riddance.

New Joe McCarthy, Elon Musk, criticized reasonable decision of judge, Paul A. Engelmayer, “an activist posing as a judge” and threatened any other who was prepared to respect the rule of law. Elon is an idiot posing as a God.

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Good and loving and smart and honest people exist. There are a lot of them. More than the bad and cruel and dumb and mendacious. They're not perfect, they just care for others, even strangers. Not always actively, but as a default. Find them, celebrate them, commune with them. You are not alone

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...

Trump, Vance, Hegseth, and Combs all said they were briefed on the collision, so they all knew about this internal FAA report when they went on TV to blame minorities for the crash. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01...

Trump put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers and, on Musk’s instruction, fired the FAA chief early without replacing him. This should be the only thing Dems are saying today. They should all be out on media saying this.
