The US is suing Chicago, Cook Cty, and the State of Illinois claiming that Trump's EO on immigration supersedes state law prohibiting local police from assisting federal civil immigration enforcement under supremacy clause. But I don't think an EO is a law. Thoughts?

But if it's AGAINST THE LAW for him to fire them, then why is everyone accepting that they've actually been fired?

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.
Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

Tip from a lawyer: make sure your loved ones' wills are in a neutral place (bank, lawyer's office, filed with the courthouse) so that one angry heir cannot muck up the whole probate process later. #lawsky

This is NOT a complaint - a document where Drake (through his entity, Frozen Moments) lays out his legal claims against Kendrick Lamar. Or UMG. Or Spotify.

I switched from Android to iPhone yesterday. Since I traded in, I no longer have my android. But I literally am locked out of half my apps because they want me to use the authenticator or codes on the old phone in order to set up the new one and I AM LOSING MY MIND.
