I cannot overstate how much I love the fact that Williams & Connolly put *14* individual lawyers’ names in the signature block of their complaint.

W&C is sending a clear message: We are not afraid.

BRAVO.

My latest: "King" Trump Will Make Dictators Great Again At The Expense of America & Our Allies

Trump seeks to recreate Putin's dictatorship at home. In doing so he's willing to throw Ukraine, our allies & the American people, especially his voters, under the bus.

#CouplonMusk paid about $250m to help Trump win the White House.

He is getting access to the personal information of 334.9m Americans. And allegedly storing it on private servers.

That is less than $1 per person. To sell America out.
