Trump Attorneys’ Ethics Violations Require State Bar Action | ACS
www.acslaw.org
Want to thank @acslaw.bsky.social for giving me the space to express the view that “Trump Attorneys’ Ethics Violations Require State Bar Action.” It should never have come to this but in our perilous times, action is needed now. I’m not alone. #RuleOfLaw #ACS #ncpol www.acslaw.org/expertforum/...
Well legal eagles, looks like Trump Administration attorneys want to act without ethical restraint. If you don’t want that to happen, pick up the phone or draft an email and send it to your bar and just say “no, please stand up for the rule of law.” #RuleOfLaw #ncpol www.axios.com/2025/11/09/d...
Deputy AG declares "war" on judges, vows to strip bar associations' power
The statements are the latest escalation in the DOJ's comments about judges.

Bernie Sanders: We need universal healthcare, and we must pass a Medicare for All, single-payer program to provide comprehensive coverage to all with zero out-of-pocket expenses, and full freedom of choice regarding healthcare providers.

This says it all as to why Trumpism and MAGA are so destructive and why Democrats need to hold the line on insurance for people’s healthcare. #TrumpShutDown #GOPShutdown
Traditional American politics is premised on the notion that sometimes you lose and sometimes you win and you have to deal with that.
But Trumpism is premised on the notion that any result where you don’t win is illegitimate, unlawful, fraud, criminal.
You can’t negotiate with people like that.

Phil Berger and Dustin Hall are the source of #NorthCarolina problems since Republicans took over in 2011. In 14 years, things are worse not better. We’re less safe, housing unaffordable, wages stagnating, education for the wealthy only, state money mismanaged, poverty up. Time to change #ncpol
You can hide from your constituents by ducking Town Halls but there's nowhere to hide at the ballot box.
Voters in Wake County, and the rest of the US, have made it crystal clear: Trumpism is over.

Don’t be scared to say this out loud because it’s true. This anti-Christ agenda is being supported by your local Republicans too. #MustRead #NorthCarolina #ncpol
The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

15 Republican senators have now joined all 47 members of the Democratic caucus on legislation to extend SNAP benefits during the shutdown.
In all, 62 senators are on this bill.
I say to Majority Leader Thune: Don't let kids go hungry in America. Call a vote on this bill NOW!

This pretty much sums up our country’s current situation. It’s appalling. #SNAP #FoodCrisis #NorthCarolina #ncpol
Trying to blame the Dems cutting off SNAP (while sitting on billons of available contingency funds) as his boss bulldozes the WH to build a ball room like Saddam's palace, sends $40 billion to bail out Argentines, and eats "gold adorned" brownies in Korea is not gonna work.

With great power comes great responsibility. Republicans are in charge right now. They may not have 60 votes, but they hold the gavel, and that means it’s on them to negotiate.
You cannot keep the government closed, refuse to talk, and then blame Democrats for the mess you created.

American Oligarchs don’t have enough money to pay more taxes but have enough money to give $300M to the destruction of the White House, bribe Trump by buying $800M in Trump Crypto, and pay military salaries during the Trump Epstein Shutdown. GTFOHWYBS

In essence, this is about lawyers behaving badly, violating rules of professional conduct, and attacking the rule of law. This is why state bars need to step in and make it known there will be consequences. I wrote about it here. #RuleOfLaw www.acslaw.org/expertforum/...

BREAKING:
Jack Smith is requesting that Congress and the Justice Dept. let him testify in public.
In new letters to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, Smith says he wants to testify "in open hearings" because of "the many mischaracterizations" around his investigations.

Speaker Hall just said there likely won’t be any more recorded votes in the NC House this year.
Translation: Republicans are clocking out without passing a budget (their core responsibility).
..but they found time to rig maps for the 7th time.

This couldn’t be more true. North Carolina elections are rigged. Half the state is Democratic and its representation in Congress is 11 Republican to 3 Democrats. Today’s passage hands Republicans yet another seat and steals black voters representation again #NorthCarolina #ncga #ncpol #VotingRights

President Trump is demanding that the DOJ pay him about $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him.
Any settlement will ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit.
