I enthusiastically endorse Diane Seltzer for DC Bar President. The election is coming up soon. If you are a DC Bar member please make sure to vote for her!

My kid is running crew in her high school production of Chicago. Everything about this makes me smile.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot.

REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

People are fleeing Florida and Texas. As of Jan. 2025, those states collectively accounted for over 30% of ALL homes for sale in the US. Florida had 157,221 active listings—the highest in the country—followed by Texas with 102,552.

Repressive state governments and rising insurance are to blame.

Yeah, Yale Law should be concerned about its ABA accreditation.

An affected fentanyl patch. You can see that the “fentanyl” lettering is layered several times, suggesting that there are multiple patches in a single pouch.

🚨MEDICATION RECALL🚨

Alvogen has recalled fentanyl patches bc of a manufacturing error that resulted in several patches getting stuck together and packaged as a single dose. This poses an overdose risk.

Bc of the current administration’s choices, FDA is unable to share this with the public.

Musk Says DOGE Is ‘Rapidly Shutting Down’ Treasury Payments Elon Musk said his “DOGE team” of government efficiency enforcers is shutting down payments to federal contractors, suggesting that the world’s richest man may have access to sensitive systems used at...

Bloomberg: Musk said DOGE was shutting down payments by the US Department of Health and Human Services to Lutheran Family Services, a faith-based charity that has been providing social services to refugees. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM.

We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building.

Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

4 for 4 and there is always a general strike.

A diverse flight crew of a gay guy, a Black man, and a woman

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

There hasn't actually been a serious border security problem between Canada and the US.

Wanna know a good way to create one? Create incentives in the tens of billions of dollars for successful smuggling operations.

Thats the point. If Unions become a solution for non-union, healthcare for small/medium businesses, the profile of Unions change immediately and the quality of care options go up immediately for those non union workers

Won’t be easy. Wouldn’t happen fast. But it would be game changing

Let’s be clear, Trump’s tariffs will be paid by Americans. Like a tax.

They will raise prices across the board. On food. On gas. On families. On small businesses.

An average American can expect to pay an annual tax of around $2600.

So much for his promise of lower prices.

This is what we should be doing.

Top F.B.I. Agent in New York Vows to ‘Dig In’ After Removals at Agency James E. Dennehy, the highly respected leader of the largest and most important field office in the bureau, said the F.B.I. was in a “battle of our own.”

Another FBI leader standing up for the rule of law

“Today, we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our own, as good people are being walked out of the FBI and others are being targeted because they did their jobs in accordance with the law and FBI policy."

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Hey, it’s one of those Mexican firefighters who came over here to take our jobs. And save our kittens.

Saying “no water system in the world could have handled the LA fires” may be accurate, but it sidesteps a larger issue. Water systems were never designed to address the challenges posed by today’s changing climate because, until now, they never needed to.

Our institutions don’t defend themselves, we do. Don't be distracted by Trump's chaotic appointee picks, focus because there's a long fight ahead.

Even if you adjust for inflation, the US economy is ~6.5x larger than it was in 1960, & our population has nearly doubled. The idea that the federal government is bloated with employees is beyond silly.

Let us pray 🙏
