One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?

They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.

That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.

The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.

This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

I founded and chair an "elite law firm" and we are not in retreat. I have spoken with many other "elite" firm leaders that are staffing up.

What the WSJ means is large corporate law firms. Please do not confuse quality with cowardice.

Nobody benefits from this. More of the same GOP cruelty.
Again: what happens here in Tennessee is coming your way next. Pay attention.

They openly say they want this to end up at the Supreme Court.

All the union leaders who supported Trump (like Sean O'Brien) should have to answer some painful questions about Trump rescinding collective bargaining rights for TSA agents.

Attn: DC #lawsky:

FYI, Trump/Bondi loyalists are currently making a bid to take over the DC Bar: Her brother is running for President and Alicia Long (who I believe is US Attorney Ed Martin's chief deputy right now) is running for Treasurer.

When Trump, Vance, Gabbard, and the rest of them say that Ukraine doesn’t want peace, they mean Ukraine doesn’t want to surrender to the Russians.

URGENT: The House is set to vote tomorrow on whether to advance $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid — eviscerating essential programs that provide lifesaving services for people with disabilities, children, seniors, and more.

Tell your representative now: Don't cut Medicaid.
Congress: Save Medicaid Now
Politicians are attempting to pass devastating cuts to Medicaid right now and we must act fast. Send a message telling your member of Congress to fight back now.

BREAKING: Judge in our Treasury case vs. DOGE just raised profound "concerns about constitutionality of DOGE"!

She follows Judge Chutkan who also raised questions last week

We @sddaction.bsky.social will be in Md. Fed. Ct. Friday in our appointments clause case to prove DOGE is unconstitutional

To the DOJ/FBI who remain,

Your new bosses are going to order you to do unconstitutional things. Unlawful things. Things to achieve their fascist agenda.

Claiming "you were only following orders" did not cut it at the Nuremberg trials.

It will not work here either.

Proceed accordingly.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.
