“It’s a sad spectacle to see a law firm …rendering itself into an instrument for lawlessness. It’s also a cautionary example of how lawyers should not conduct themselves as the Trump regime proceeds with its effort to replace the nation’s justice system with one governed by cronyism and corruption.”
While the Trump Regime is targeting lawyers for conducting themselves ethically, other lawyers are seeking to profiteer by aiding in Trump's assault on the rule of law, as I discussed here.

It used to be clear that Democrats stood on the side of working people.

Then they started chasing the “center.”

Today’s Democratic establishment leaders have brought the party — and the country — down with them.
The Failures of “Centrism”
By moving to the so-called “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Watch.

According to Rachel Maddow, the Trump administration is cutting funding for the sterilizing of instruments for surgery at all VA hospitals, taking our military back to Civil War levels of safe medical care.

We have a confused, idiotic drug addict, who wears sunglasses on TV to hide the fact that his eyes are wildly dilated, deciding how our government should work now because his boss is too incompetent to do the job himself.
This is a drug addict who can barely put together a sentence.

The disrespect has been shocking but this is now full on contempt.

All it takes is 3 Republicans to join us and leave behind the silence and complicity. We must call out Musk on his harassment of the civil servants who keep our country running.

Keep the pressure on.

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

Trump said he wants to “clean out” Gaza and push the millions of Palestinians living there into neighboring countries.

There is a name for this — ethnic cleansing — and it’s a war crime.

This outrageous idea should be condemned by every American.

Mr. President: Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, I have a better idea.
 
In Denmark, everyone is guaranteed health care, college education is free, parents receive 1-year of paid paternity leave & workers don’t make less than $22 an hour. 

Let's steal those ideas.

Fascism doesn’t arrive in uniform overnight. It arrives with suited politicians, one piece of legislation — or executive order — at a time.

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million.

That is a lie.

The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change.

Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk:
