President Trump's attempt to fire two independent FTC commissioners is an attack on the agency's essential work fighting consumer fraud, online scams and business monopoly. More than 200 Congressional Democrats are saying 'hell no.' The President has no right to destroy the FTC.

Popok examines a new filing made by Armando Abrego Garcia's lawyers to tell the judge that the Administration's misinterpretation and word twisting to avoid "facilitating" his release from prison, is laughable.

Republicans are trying to steal an election in North Carolina. They have been laying the groundwork for five months, and unless the federal courts intervene, they just might succeed. If they do, it could usher in a new era of election subversion in future contests across the country.

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution. This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

History teaches us that the way to stand up to a dictator is to fight back against him, not capitulate to him. Surrendering to tyranny invites more of it. This moment we're in should not be met with a "moderate" response. Luckily, some Democrats starting to understand this.

Q: Can you tell us about the threat you received? NLRB Whistleblower's lawyer: Somebody taped a note to his door and flew a drone above him while he was walking his dog. I've only seen this once or twice while representing whistleblowers. This is pure and simple witness intimidation

Just learned about this now-suspended fake account. Thank you to everyone who reported it, and to Bluesky for axing it. It’s very creepy that at this moment in history—e.g., a US-citizen New England attorney, a man just like me, was just detained in VT by CBP—some creep planned to impersonate me.

This was 100% predictable (and predicted). The big firms that capitulated will cave and do whatever Trump wants. He owns them and will humiliate them for the next 3+ years. If you are a lawyer at one of these firms, leave now with your dignity. If you are a law student -- is this what you want?

Trump’s company is taking advantage of his administration’s new work visa policy by seeking seasonal foreign workers. The policy only came into effect after the Seasonal Employment Alliance’s PAC held a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago. See the ethics problems?
