If you are a client of a firm that folded in this fight, you should know that not only were they morally wrong, but they were also strategically dumb www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...
I know a woman, a successful writer, whose husband left her abruptly, and as he walked out the door he said with an eager, flashing little smile, “Someday you can write a whole book about me.” And she sat there and thought to herself: I wouldn’t waste a minute of my life honoring that man with my craft.

"It wasn't murder, and if you say it was murder we will kill you, which again will not be murder."
cannot stress enough that they are abducting legal observers left and right and people are hearing about this happening to other people and still immediately going “alright where can i go to help now”
It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:
They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.
The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.
Alt text: Screenshot of a news article excerpt discussing cultural shifts on Wall Street after Donald Trump’s victory. The text says bankers feel less pressure to self-censor language associated with “woke doctrine.” A highlighted quote from a top banker says they feel “liberated” and can use offensive terms without fear of being cancelled, calling it “a new dawn.” The article continues that some Wall Streeters feel freer to focus openly on making money without referencing broader social goals, with a quote expressing support for America and capitalism.
Hope it was worth it.
BREAKING: Staggering scenes as brave Iranians stand up to their illegitimate government in Tehran... um, hang on, I'm being told this is actually Minneapolis. Forget I said anything...
Will be interesting to see who suddenly cares about the president’s weaponization of the Justice Department now that it might threaten their bottom line $$$
The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.
This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
Conservatives: The constitution is colorblind, discrimination does not justify reverse discrimination
Also conservatives: white men deserve reparations for not having 100 percent of the jobs they apply for
I get that not everyone feels the way I do about the Supreme Court. But watching the best-known source of Supreme Court news go from providing mostly down-the-middle, public service-y coverage to, say, doing free PR for Amy Coney Barrett's book has been pretty grim, in my view
Bitter struggle on the right between people who hate 100% of Jews and people who hate 75% of Jews

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe" Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."
heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god
If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."
In retrospect, perhaps trusting all of the government's systems and data to Elon Musk and his band of 20-year-old cybercriminals was not the smartest move.
imagine laying off a politics reporter based in portland oregon in the year 2025
Ezra Klein somewhere: But who will report the news if no self-respecting press organization capitulates to the strong state and only shares pre-approved propaganda? Let’s send a pro life reporter just to be safe ❤️
The fact that a shorthand for Duns Scotus is the calling card for stupidity still blows my mind
Here's what “designated terrorist organizations” means, at least according to Trump.
Calling No Kings a 'hate America rally' when having no kings was a precondition for having a United States of America
Makes sense because Musk has no idea what it takes to produce anything, and Weiss doesn't understand what it takes to produce journalism.

Just as a reminder, Bondi’s origin story in Trump world is that she said she was going to investigate Trump University, Trump sent her a $25K check and the investigation disappeared. She later became Trump’s personal defense lawyer. So yeah, don’t challenge her integrity.
