Hey, Politico --
I consider myself to have "long-term standing in the private legal community" and I have been willing to speak out almost every single day. And, I'm not alone.
Yes, there is widespread cowardice among law firms, but don't ignore those refusing to bow down.
Defiantly,
Marc Elias

Perhaps the most concise way to think about this is that Musk has pranced around bragging about cracking down on fraud and abuse, finding the bad guys. Meanwhile what he's actually done is enable perhaps the biggest splurge of fraud and tax cheating in history. For him and his pals.
So look at that. DOGE has cost the US Treasury fucking half a trillion dollars. HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS. This is your cost savings.
To review what we from @washingtonpost.com are reporting out of the IRS today:
- Projected tax revenue this year is down 10% ($500 billion) as Trump's downsizing is emboldening tax cheats
- IRS is nearing an agreement with ICE to assist on mass deportations

It took many generations of us hard-working, tax-paying Americans to build our once-proud country and, in just weeks, we are forced to watch a convicted felon and an illegal immigrant steal it all from us, backed by the greedy rich.
Revolt now or lose everything we've earned over our lifetimes.

This is probably the interview that set Trump off on Truth Social this morn -- Wall Street Journal Editor in Chief Emma Tucker criticizing Trump's policies on Maria Bartiromo's show, saying executives are "floundering" because of them, & adding that prices will go up for consumers because of tariffs

The GOP are now budget cutting programs that even their constituents rely on. Why don’t they care they may be destroying their chance for re-election? Committing political suicide? Is it possible this GOP doesn’t care because they believe the days of free elections are over?

Vance is a spineless jackass
Being a man doesn’t equal treating women like trash.
JD Vance: "Our culture sends a message to young men that you should suppress every masculine urge ... my message to young men is don't allow this broken culture to send you a message that you're a bad person bc you're a man, bc you like to tell a joke, bc you like to have a beer with your friends."

TRUMP: “Send education back to the states!”
Sen. @jeffyarbro.bsky.social : “What kids learn is set at the state level and has been for years.” 👇🏽
Also: Trump wants the federal government out of the curriculum… yet threatens funding if states teach history in a (truthful) way he doesn’t like?🤔
