Cowardly law firms should not be in business. Any lawyer that stays with law firms Paul Weiss and Skadden should be removed from the bar for violating their oath to uphold the law and maintain ethical standards.

If you have ever read the history of the Nazi party from the 1920s up to WW2 when they invaded Poland in 1938? It sounds very much like this. Tiny and large steps that most of the population don't notice or understand until it's too late. Nazis have taken over everything! Trump and his Nazis are taking over everything sometimes quietly. Other times bragging about it, Like now.

So disappointing that we are mostly hearing about the fact that Goldberg was part of the chat group, and not what they discussed. War crimes, bragging about bombing an apartment building to kill one guy. All of the civilian targets. Shouldn’t this be bigger news. Then again the atrocities in Palestine should be front page of every paper, and top story in media but it isn’t. The world is upside down and broken.

Thanks for compiling such an extensive list - I hadn’t seen most of these! Sheer dystopian insanity!

Another week without any democratic action in opposition to the destruction of our democracy. Courts got a few mentions, and even Michael Luttig got named. He's the one who Mitch McConnell relied on to acquit Trump during the second impeachment, so any liberal love is, I think, misdirected.

AOC and Bernie need to go on a social security tour. We have to accept that all the immigration actions are beyond political repercussions, and can only be played out in court.

I wish there was a second team that could go out and talk about the economy and consumer protection, but not sure who. Maybe Warren and Crockett, although Crockett doesn't seem to have the economics/consumer credibility. But she is gaining a voice.

Mehdi, please have someone access their SS account online. Read the last clause of the new terms of agreement and tell me that's not directly related to the illegal access by Herr Pluggs and his stooges. I'm not hearing anything about this amoungst the greater s*show. Thank you for all you do.
