The Trump administration is trying to sell federal student loans to private companies.
This sale would be a giveaway to wealthy insiders at the expense of working-class borrowers and taxpayers.
It’s a tremendous mistake, and I’m fighting back.

Re-upping my piece from yesterday on the Deputy Attorney General's "war" against federal courts—including why it's wanting for both quantitative and qualitative support; why it's especially dangerous coming from the number-two official at DOJ; and why the silence of folks on the right is deafening:
193. The "War" on Judges
Deputy Attorney General Blanche's attack on lower courts is an impressive combination of light on substance; shamelessly hypocritical; and profoundly dangerous. More people should be condemning it.

Great thread here from OG @lizcgil.bsky.social #LadyLawyerDiaries
I say this often to new attorneys: one of the most important things to remember is that you will NOT be a fit for every client, and that’s okay. We are human beings first, attorneys second - not the other way around. If you prioritize appealing to everyone and lose yourself, you’ve lost.

Yikes on bikes. There's "deregulation," and then there's uninspected meat, raw milk, unchecked drug factories, and poison cough syrup. Apparently we're ready to relearn a bunch of lessons that we learned more than 100 years ago.

If you aren't subscribing to Prof. Vladeck's newsletter, you are missing out. No one reads the tea leaves like he does, and makes the connections that help you analyze where things are going.
Today's bonus "One First" tries to read the (many) tea leaves in #SCOTUS's cryptic Tuesday order in the SNAP case; how unusual it is for the full Court to effectively take a case away from a circuit justice; and what that teaches us about the Court's procedures—and, as importantly, Justice Jackson:
Bonus 192: The Court vs. the Circuit Justice
Tuesday's ruling in the SNAP case appears to be the second example in seven months (and for quite some before that) of the full Supreme Court taking an application away from the circuit justice.
