Hey, Politico --

I consider myself to have "long-term standing in the private legal community" and I have been willing to speak out almost every single day. And, I'm not alone.

Yes, there is widespread cowardice among law firms, but don't ignore those refusing to bow down.

Defiantly,

Marc Elias

A Saturday Reid: the Ides of March Chuck Schumer leads ten should-be opposition Senators in rendering America's most vulnerable unto Caeser.

JD Vance claimed on X that “Slava Ukraini” protesters followed him & shouted at his daughter.

Guess he didn’t realize it was caught on camera. No one yelled at his kid, and they didn’t follow them.

Vance & Musk need to quit using children as shields. The public isn’t backing down—we want answers.

They are sadists in the White House.

Welcome to “The Jim Acosta Show” A recording from Jim Acosta's live video

A disabled Air Force veteran fired from her job at FEMA by DOGE tells her story plus @repdean.bsky.social and former Rep. Max Rose on GOP budget cuts, Ukraine and Jim weighs in on Alina Habba’s comments. Watch: “The Jim Acosta Show.” open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

“This is treason adjacent. I’m sure Pete Hegseth is very busy firing black people and women, so he’s not focused on the actual target here, which is Vladimir Putin.”
@therickwilson.bsky.social on the U.S. halting offensive cyber operations against Russia.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Every accusation is an intention.

Social media post by marco.foster on Twitter, with the text: 'Pedro Pascal (who has a trans sister) continues to stand up for trans rights. You love to see it .' The post includes a photo of Pedro Pascal in a black suit with a red pin, standing against a red background with a gold circular design. Below the photo, there’s a quote from pascalispunk, posted 3 days ago, stating: 'I can’t think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community, except of the people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist.'

My esteem for Pedro Pascal grows ever greater.

For some odd reason the Trump administration doesn't want to release the Epstein files and even Anna Paulina Luna isn't happy

Gaslighting? Memory issues? Classic case of Dictator’s Remorse?

An image featuring Admiral Lisa Franchetti in her formal Navy uniform saluting, alongside text highlighting her distinguished 40-year naval career, including commanding a destroyer, two carrier strike groups, and the U.S. Sixth Fleet. The text then contrasts her extensive experience with her reported firing by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, identified as a Fox News weekend host. The source of the information is credited to the New York Times, with "COURIER" branding in the top right corner. The highlighted portion of the text emphasizes the contrast between her career and the circumstances of her dismissal.

Let’s face it. Getting rid of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is to make way for less qualified white men to take positions they don’t deserve.

“Why is Pam Bondi taking so long to release the Epstein files? What is she hiding?”

Trump has canceled Biden's ethics rules. Critics call it the opposite of 'drain the swamp' Donald Trump took office eight years ago pledging to “drain the swamp” of the dominance of Washington influence peddlers.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.

Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

Time to do things that make him react to you.
