Thinking of all those who fought to save the world from fascism.

NEW: The mother of an Arizona man who died after being unable to find mental health treatment is suing his health insurer, saying it broke the law by publishing false information that misled its customers. By @maxblau.bsky.social

@thatbilloakley.com , call your office !

Vote Diane Seltzer for DC bar!

Impossible to overstate the power of Judge Howellʻs rebuke of the Big Law Capitulators in her opinion nullifying the Exec Order that attacked Perkins Coie. Judge Howell in essence said two things: 1/4

Judge Howell eviscerates the cowardly big law firms who back down in the face of challenge from Trump - and spells out the risk to rule of law inherent in such cowardice. She’s an EDNY alum, of course !

The Trump Economy …. Really sucks.

I wrote to my kids re: DOJ. Punchline: People in life will want you to compromise your integrity. They will likely find someone who is fool enough, or coward enough to do so - but always make it clear that it was never going to be you. cc: @asharangappa.bsky.social @joycewhitevance.bsky.social

Friggen geniuses

If you don’t want judge stopping you, don’t do illegal shit It’s really pretty simple.

The response by acting DAG Emil Bove is the most disgraceful letter ever published on @USDOJ letterhead. It is an unvarnished attack on the rule of law & embrace of the exercise of authoritarian power in the service of political gain. I hope those committed to Justice prevail.

This is disgraceful. If you flatter the President, you are effectively immune to federal prosecution. Real Bannana republic stuff …

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Every single thing he attacks others for .. he himself did … www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

We owe Jack our immense gratitude. When appointed, I told friends he would be relentless, fair and unstoppable in pursuit of the bad guys - that’s how he was in the EDNY and it’s how he’s been his entire career. Thanks, Jack, for devoting yourself to rule of law and accountability.

Oh listen, we aren’t afraid. My response to Trumps threat: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/bring-it-o...
