does no one else find it a bit too "coincidental" - not only that so many shootings occurred in Chicago over the weekend after Pritzger said no to federal troops - but also that no one has been arrested for any of the shootings???

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

We must follow the lead of opposition movements in other kleptocracies: Put corruption at the center of our arguments. American government & foreign & domestic policy are being transformed to benefit not Americans but Trump & Co. Only voters can stop this change.

I wrote this about news organizations that were settling with Trump, but it's equally true of law firms that are settling with him. Maybe even *more* true, since the spectacle of *lawyers* surrendering to Trump is especially dispiriting. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/04/o...

This is unconstitutional. A violation of the First Amendment. A violation of federalism and the separation of powers. It’s unconstitutionally vague. It’s unlawful. It’s unlawful. It’s unlawful.

Next thing you know, Trump will expect Jews to stop saying negative things about Hitler.
Trump says President Zelensky should be nicer to Vladimir Putin:

“He doesn’t have to stand there and say ‘Putin this, Putin that,’ all negative things. He’s got to say, ‘I want to make peace, I don’t want to fight any longer.’”

(It’s clear that Trump wants Ukraine to surrender to Putin.)

“Warning to Big Law: those who fail to stand up while they can for the rule of law may rue its erosion and regret their silence.” Trump’s petty retribution violates the 1st and 6th amendments, but it still takes guts to ignore his threats and act honorably.
