Those big law firms never needed to cave but they caved. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...
There's a lot going on, but here's a layup for #Congress: create a system for reimbursing businesses and taxpayers for the illegal #tariffs. Don't go the same way as the #EpsteinFiles and leave things to the #TrumpAdministration. My latest on @ms.now. #ruleoflaw

Check out my interview with Mack Jenkins on @legalafmtn.bsky.social where we talk all things #ICE, #Minnesota, #SCOTUS and #KavanaughStops; and explore his long career as an attorney at the #DOJ and the role of smaller firms in resisting the #TrumpAdministration's policies. youtu.be/B_xPXHbtCog?...

Thanks to @karaswisher.bsky.social and @profgalloway.com for highlighting my listener question on @pivotpod.bsky.social!

What connects the #ICE #protests in #Minneapolis to social movements over American history? New technologies? Yes. But other things far more human. Read my latest on @theconversation.com.

It’s times like this I would be totally down with us being a “creedal” country after all.
Congress must review #ICE funding, but citizens and state officials can also #moveyourmoney away from the collaborators and enablers. My recent post on @legalafmtn.bsky.social: Want to Take Action to Rein in ICE?: Divest from the Companies Doing a Lot of Its Dirty Work. substack.com/@raybrescia3...
Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.
Divest from the companies collaborating with #ICE. My latest on @legalafmtn.bsky.social. substack.com/@legalaf/not...
