Kristi Noem becomes the latest MAGA sycophant to learn that with Trump, loyalty is a one-way street. She did his bidding and now he is throwing her under the bus. Good riddance.

As I told @theguardian.com, Trump‘s destruction of DOJ independence will require a complete overhaul to restore the rule of law to the American people.

I take comfort in DOJ’s failure to fabricate crimes, but the effort alone is a disgusting abuse of power.

All DOJ lawyers are members of a state or DC bar, and subject to its ethics rules and penalties, up to disbarment. Subverting state bar authorities would give DOJ lawyers carte blanche to violate ethics rules. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

I asked ChatGPT to make me a calendar for March ‘26. Came out perfect! I then asked for an identical calendar for April ‘26. It, too, looked perfect at first. But a closer look revealed it had replicated the dates and days of the week from March!😳 AI is a useful tool, but requires human oversight.

Best quote I heard tonight was Gov Abigail Spanberger on Trump’s immigration policy: “Every minute spent sowing fear is a minute not spent investigating murders, crimes against children, or the criminals defrauding seniors of their life savings.”

This is such a good point. This opinion could have come out months ago, halting the illegal tariff before more harm was suffered.
Finally, a decision from Judge Cannon on releasing Jack Smith’s
report on documents case. No surprise she blocked it, but now 11th Circuit gets to decide.

What a disgusting display of privilege. Meanwhile, investigations go on in Trump assassination plot, Nancy Guthrie kidnapping, and hundreds of other cases. Serving as FBI Director is a responsibility, not a license to party with celebrities.

Thanks, Ryan. Your takes continue to provide great insights in cases involving national security and foreign relations.
Names of co-conspirators and authors of incriminating emails were redacted in violation of Epstein Files Transparency Act. Congress should demand answers.

In new episode of #SistersInLaw, we discussed SCOTUS decision striking down Trump‘s tariff, DOJ’s defiance of Epstein Files Transparency Act, and FCC’s weaponization of Equal Time rule against Colbert.

Th erosion of civics education makes this lesson necessary. That’s why Trump says he loves “the poorly educated.”
Trump banner symbolizes president’s capture of the once-independent Justice Department. “Where law ends tyranny begins.”
Trump’s tantrum over SCOTUS tariff ruling demonstrates his mafia worldview — he expects loyalty to him over loyalty to the Constitution. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/o...
Our president has no respect for our constitutional separation of powers. The judiciary is a separate and, importantly, co-equal, branch of government.
