Lawyer by profession, believer in the rule of law, good government and democracy. I despise everything Trump and MAGA. I’m snarky, sarcastic and try to find humor in the absurd.

Or creating crypto coins making $millions in personal wealth while in office! The GENIUS Act needs to fail!
Lawmakers in Congress should not be buying, trading, and owning individual stocks. Period.

It’s long past time to BAN Congressional stock trading.

Fox News is just poorly run MAGA media. No relation to truth, facts or honest reporting. #NoKINGS
I have no idea how many people get their news from Foxnews.com rather than the cable channel, but those people would have no idea — none — that there were any protests today against the President. The only even tangentially related story I found on the home page:

Gov Newsom ‘handcuffed’ police as LA riots expose ‘reactionary’ leadership failure: former sheriff’ s deputy
Former sheriff's deputy Patrick Gipson criticizes Gov. Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass for handling of LA riots, blaming delayed National Guard deployment and progressive policies.

More than five million Americans in over 2,100 towns and cities joined us today to say we don't do kings in this country. Thank you for making it clear that we won't be ruled by fear.

my soul left my body watching the fox news feed glitching out as the tanks roll past the president’s observation stand and the announcer’s voice echoes across the mostly empty streets, “special thanks to our sponsor, palantir”

Trump spokesman claimed a crowd of 250,000 for his little tank parade. Video looks like less than 10,000 total. #NoKings #FuckTrump
A tale of two national events

On the left, sparse crowds at the failed military parade in DC

On the right, millions of Americans turn out to voice their opposition to Trump at hundreds of #NoKings protests throughout the country

Trump lost the crowd size battle

Yep! Have you ever known a company to voluntarily reduce prices post inflation or tariff? Auto makers will keep the prices high beyond the duration of the tariffs because people will pay when they don’t have a choice. It’s your $$$$
Car salesman at a local Hyundai dealership today, after I asked him about the tariffs:

"It's terrible. The price of every vehicle is going to go up five or six thousand dollars... And here's the thing, even after they go away, think about it, they're not going to come back down again."

Trump is effectively trying to block lawsuits against him.

He wants to be a dictator. The question, as always, is whether people, institutions, and elected officials will let him.

This is another dangerous authoritarian attempt to control and quiet any opposition, whether legal or not. This is a significant threat to the rule of law.
It’s a long “memorandum,” but it’s essentially telling Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem to go after lawyers who challenge the federal government — which is many lawyer’s jobs.

It’s basically a catch-all “let’s Paul Weiss whoever pisses us off” memo.
