Great scoop from @lorak.bsky.social

MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL THE SECRETARY OF HOMELAND SECURITY SUBJECT: Preventing Abuses of the Legal System and the Federal Court Lawyers and law firms that engage in actions that violate the laws of the United States or rules governing attorney conduct must be efficiently and effectively held accountable. Accountability is especially important when misconduct by lawyers and law firms threatens our national security, homeland security, public safety, or election integrity.

Unfortunately, far too many attorneys and law firms have long ignored these requirements when litigating against the Federal Government or in pursuing baseless partisan attacks. To address these concerns, I hereby direct the Attorney General to seek sanctions against attorneys and law firms who engage in frivolous, unreasonable, and vexatious litigation against the United States or in matters before executive departments and agencies of the United States.

I further direct the Attorney General to take all appropriate action to refer for disciplinary action any attorney whose conduct in Federal court or before any component of the Federal Government appears to violate professional conduct rules, including rules governing meritorious claims and contentions, and particularly in cases that implicate national security, homeland security, public safety, or election integrity. In complying with this directive, the Attorney General shall consider the ethical duties that law partners have when supervising junior attorneys, including imputing the ethical misconduct of junior attorneys to partners or the law firm when appropriate.

I further direct that, when the Attorney General determines that conduct by an attorney or law firm in litigation against the Federal Government warrants seeking sanctions or other disciplinary action, the Attorney General shall, in consultation with any relevant senior executive official, recommend to the President, through the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, additional steps that may be taken, including reassessment of security clearances held by the attorney or termination of any Federal contract for which the relevant attorney or law firm has been hired to perform services.

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.

Elon Musk is NOT an intelligent man. He "may" be a genius, but he ACTS like an idiot.

Trump’s Assault Demands a United Front The president’s strategy for attacking the media and academia is to divide and conquer. There’s a solution to that.

Measles cases linked to the outbreak in Texas have reached 309.

This surpasses the entire nationwide total for the year in 2024.

Bravo, MAGA.

Opinion | What Autocrats Want From Academics: Servility In 1931, Italian scholars were made to take loyalty oaths. Will that happen to us?

"On October 8, 1931, a law went into effect requiring every Italian university professor to sign an oath pledging their loyalty to the government of Benito Mussolini. Out of over 1,200 professors in the country, only 12 refused. All of them were immediately fired." www.chronicle.com/article/what...

This is just not fair.

Maybe the Trump administration should just stop violating the law?

Well lah-de-dah and let them eat cake.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Just goes to show: No amount of money can buy some people even a single clue

US to import eggs from Turkey and South Korea to ease prices - BBC News A bird flu epidemic has caused egg prices to soar, and projections show they could rise by 41 percent this year.

While the top scientists and researchers leave the US, the Trump government is trying to find someone who will give them eggs. www.bbc.com/news/article...

When do the Robert E. Lee statues go back up?

Why can't Trump be on all our currency? He'd keep the penny if he knew his ugly mug would be on it.

And I'm sure he'd rather beat out Harriet Tubman to replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. I mean, a woman on currency would be straight up Antifa DEI!

The trumped are the world's biggest projectors. What they accuse others OF, THEY themselves ARE doing it.
