*Just 2* judicial law clerks filed complaints against federal judges last year. That’s not because judges don’t mistreat clerks: it’s because complaint mechanisms are broken.

LAP’s @alizashatzman.bsky.social explains whyβ€”and how to fix it.

*Just 2* judicial law clerks filed complaints against federal judges last year. That’s not because judges don’t mistreat clerks: actually, it’s because complaint mechanisms are totally broken.

A run for their money: Young candidates rival older incumbents in midterm fundraising As a growing crop of young candidates challenge longtime Democratic incumbents, some are not just breaking through in the money race, but outraising their opponents altogether.

Young leaders poised to tackle this critical moment with the urgency 🚨it demands.

We have a fox 🦊 guarding the henhouse situation in the fed judiciary, where the same people make the rules, enforce the rules + discipline violations.

Congress must conduct oversight over the courts but they’ve abandoned that responsibility. @alizashatzman.bsky.social

🚨🚨Congress must act to address judicial corruption.

But they’ve TOTALLY abdicated their oversight responsibility over the federal courts, allowing abuses of power to continue at the highest levels of govt. @thelap.bsky.social

I enjoyed hearing from Mayor Paige Cognetti, who’s running for Congress in PA08 (Scranton), about oversight, #accountability, and fighting corruption.

It’s rare to encounter congressional candidates (or members of Congress!) who understand their #oversight responsibility!
