It’s a sad day for the Senate Judiciary Committee.
We disgrace ourselves as a nation each and every day Donald Trump remains in office. The drafters of the United States Constitution provided a remedy for a criminally insane president like the one we have—impeachment and removal ...
"Every" thinking person "in America should read this sad story." "The pursuit of Wall St. business in service of higher profits per partner — a key metric for law firms — was at odds with its social justice principles.When Mr.Trump took aim at Paul Weiss, in part because of its activist history..."

@errollouis.bsky.social Apropos of your conversation with Rep. Jeffries now on Inside City Hall... "In fact, the DSA increasingly uses those candidates as moral cover while its mostly white activist base attempts to overpower black and brown voters who remain far more skeptical of the movement."
F*ck Your Big Tent Party
Democrats are surrendering to an overwhelmingly white, college-educated activist organization whose politics are more popular with affluent white liberals than with the black, brown, and working-class

At some point someone should tell him to go to hell. He’s just a president, he can’t have you killed for that
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump says Jeanine Pirro "choked" and then snaps at a reporter who asks if her job is safe: "Don't ever talk again"
How can the country continue day after day listening to this felon LIE, at the resolute desk in the People's House - - and NOBODY does anything to stop it⁉️ Pundits, brilliant journalists, high ranking officials, attorneys craft smart articles, but nothing STOPS the vile that is running OUR country.
Trump: "Any country with windmills is a loser." Says the biggest loser.
Every court victory matters, but some are sweeter than others. Congrats to the Elias Law Group team and our client Senate Majority PAC for this well earned victory for free speech and the 1st Amendment.

"'There’s been no effort to avoid' harms by considering alternative sites, said Rebecca Miller, the executive director of the D.C.Preservation League.'There has been no effort to minimize, because the president has told them not to. And what is the mitigation for destroying the cultural landscape?'"

"It also came with no plan to pay for the infrastructure required to support the 11 new ships or the crews to sail them. Those costs are likely to reach into the billions, according to Coast Guard documents."
Millie Cassese ⚖️@millienyc.bsky.social · 4d ago"The story behind Mr. Trump’s personal intervention in Coast Guard ships provides new insights into how his administration has cut corners and flouted rules in pursuit of projects that suit the president’s desires, regardless of whether they fit any broader strategic rationale."

New rule: if the indictment gets a press conference, the dismissal gets one too

"It’s a story about an administration that let a federal agency’s no-bid contractor mess up a paid renovation job on a national monument, then let a former Olympic athlete get criminally charged for it, rather than get to the bottom of what actually happened before pursuing an indictment."
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 5d ago🚨 BREAKING: The DOJ is moving to dismiss the indictment against David Hearn in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool case and is admitting the damage was the result of a flawed, botched installation job, not vandalism.
"...the shift to concierge medicine is something of a warning signal.'When a physician converts to one of these models, there are fewer physicians available to treat the general population,' says Jordan Weiss, an assistant professor at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine who studies health & aging."
New York Magazine@nymag.com · 5d agoIf you’ve looked for a primary-care doctor lately, you’ve likely noticed many aren’t taking new patients . One reason: Some in the profession are switching to direct-pay and concierge practices that exclude patients who need to use health insurance.
"For an attorney general to bring even one of these cases would have been an impeachable transgression in any other administration (arguably including even Trump 1.0).Today, such abuses have become normalized—so much so that they have gotten nary a mention in the ongoing Blanche confirmation fight."
