Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

The reason I hold high standards for my profession is because I was trained by lawyers from this tradition. This is why I just can’t accept this presentation of helplessness by wealthy well-resourced law firms in the face of Trump’s pressure. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Just to be clear here, Trump wants to send people without any due process to be tortured offshore, and he also wants to give money to people who were found guilty by a jury of beating up police.

Just saying: if Lloyd Austin had done this, every GOP lawmaker would call for his resignation by close-of-business the same day, and they'd probably have it.

The Trump admin playbook: gut civil service to crush public education, derail lifesaving research, pollute our air and water, and make it harder for veterans, working families, and small businesses to access the programs they rely on—all to pay for a tax break for billionaires.

The whole point is not just the state disappearing whoever they want, it's you being in the habit of accepting the state choosing whom to disappear, without question. It's submission to the state. Same as with Gitmo after 9/11. The state's judgment must not be questioned.

Trump has already been enjoined by courts in his second term more than Biden was in his entire term. It’s not the courts. It’s the illegality.

Trump said he was going to end this conflict less than 24 hours after taking office with one phone call to Putin. He also said repeatedly in the last few weeks how much Putin wants peace. He has nothing to say about this tonight though.

Excellent editor’s note: What a bleak day for the future of this country. My generation often jokes – in helpless resignation – that SS will be gone long before we retire…But dismantling public education for the next generation is sabotage. It's a deliberate effort to gut the future/rot the country🎯

It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.
