Today I called my Congressman's office. I said that I am a rare disease patient and that if the Medicaid cuts that he votes for last night interfere with my treatment and cause my death, I will make sure that his name is in my obituary as one who is responsible for my death. His name is Dave Joyce.

In a separate directive, Bondi “orders DOJ employees to adhere to ‘zealous advocacy’ of the Trump administration's policies.”

She refers to them as “his lawyers”…

Note: Lawyers still have ethical obligations that stand separate and apart from what a client wants them to do.
“Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a directive Wednesday establishing a ‘Weaponization Working Group’ that she says will be tasked with reviewing ‘politicized’ actions of officials who investigated President Donald Trump at both the state and federal levels.”
