Trump’s doctor says his latest physical shows phenomenal cardiac health. His only problems are obesity, black hands, fluid build up in his lower legs, extreme difficulty climbing stairs, and a diet of constant fast food.

Today, May 1, is Law Day. For D.C.Bar members, one small but important way to take a stand in support of the rule of law is to support Diane Seltzer for D.C. Bar President. We must defeat her opponent Brad Bondi, brother of the current U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi. Please vote here: www.dcbar.org
If you are a member of the DC Bar, please watch this video and VOTE for Diane Seltzer for DC Bar president.

The January 6th attacks weren’t just a dark day—they were a violent, harrowing warning that our freedoms and democracy are under siege.
We can never forget, downplay, or excuse the gravity of what happened. Our democracy demands action, and we must stand firm to protect it!

A significant portion of the man's life is a lie, and he is living that lie while intermittently on some very serious drugs without proper close medical supervision. He sits atop a cult that feeds his historically voracious ego every second of the day. There's virtually nothing he is not capable of.

I've spent most of the past year in misery. I've dreamed of quitting everything to drag out the rest of my life in some obscure place, knowing no one, doing nothing. Today I'm reminded of a line of Charles Dickens': "recalled to life." There's no furlough from this fight.
