In 2012 civil and family legal aid rates were cut, in return for a promise of earlier payment. After 12 years of inflation, isn't it time remuneration was reviewed?

Yesterday, I fondly remembered my dear friend Leonard Nimoy, who would have turned 94. His legacy lives on in our hearts. Just days ago, Bill Shatner celebrated his 94th birthday — wishing him continued health and happiness. Live long and prosper, my friends.

Last night, Orbán’s party, Fidesz introduced a radical amendment to Hungary’s freedom of assembly law to ban Pride events, threatening participants with facial recognition surveillance and heavy fines. 🔊 Action under Article 7 is long overdue before Hungary succumbs to Orbán’s authoritarianism!

What Really Happened With the DDoS Attacks That Took Down X
Elon Musk said a “massive cyberattack” disrupted X on Monday and pointed to “IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area” as the source of the attack. Security experts say that's not how it works.

Trump got impeached after he got caught extorting Zelenskyy, trying to get him to conduct a sham investigation into Biden. Along with the obvious stuff, I think some of this comes down to personal animosity as well.

Today’s shameful spectacle of Trump’s meeting with President Zelenskyy will prove to be a huge miscalculation on Trump’s part. I’ve spoken to over two dozen people so far—Republicans, Democrats and independents. Without exception, they’re angry and embarrassed by what they saw on TV. Truly shocking.
