Trump's lawyers are too weak to tell the client no. So, no, they cannot be trusted. (In my 40 years of being a legal secretary, the lawyers always told the client that the client follows the lawyer's advice or the client gets fired. Apparently, Trump's lawyers don't know how to do that.)

Can judges trust what DOJ lawyers are telling them? @mimirocah1.bsky.social joins @PreetBharara.bsky.social and me to discuss why SDNY attorneys withdrew subpoenas issued to NYT journalists on a new @cafedotcom.bsky.social Insider podcast: cafe.visitlink.me/VAYJpp

It's darkly depressing that the entire GOP -- from the White House to Congress to the Supreme Court -- insists that the president and his aides cannot be held accountable for all the very clear crimes that they clearly committed, but they think Dr. Fauci should hang for alleged mishandling of COVID.

His daughter, Nellie, is buried in Springfield's Oak Ridge Cemetery. Also, Grant was our last real Republican president.

On this day in 1885, former General/President Ulysses S. Grant died at 63. His death came just days after he finished his memoir, which he wrote to give his family financial security after his death. “Personal Memoirs of U.S. Grant” is still considered a masterful work. Image: Library of Congress.

"There is some advantage to being the humblest, cheapest, least dignified man in the village, so that the very stable boys shall damn you. Methinks I enjoy that advantage to an unusual extent." ~ Henry David Thoreau, Journal (July 1851)
