Hey you human scum… would you kiss your Real Law Moms with that mouth? Unethical #rhetoric cannot be hyper normalized. This is NOT #normal.

Trump v. Columbia University We explain how Trump is completely altering the Title VI landscape when it comes to universities... for the worst. A higher legal threshold for showing harassment and discrimination.

#Trump may claim to take a tougher stance against #antisemitism at universities. But is he? Or did the administration just make it even harder to establish #harassment and #discrimination under Title VI?

EO Pulse: Restoring Gold Standard Science It is us or is the Trump administration obsessed with gold? We provide insight into one of the many EOs signed yesterday... this one about science.

#Trump loves gooooold. Is it us? Or is the man obsessed with #gold? One of yesterday’s #Executive #Order claims to “restore gold standard science.” The Real Law Moms explain why we prefer a platinum standard when it comes to #science and our #climate.

The Supreme Court Quietly Green Lights Trumps Coup over Independent Agencies Another domino falls in the war for democracy, and the Real Law Moms are here with a hug and a download on the harsh reality of yesterday's ruling

At the end of the day, we Real Law Moms want what most moms want: a little peace, a little quiet and for people to follow the dang #rules! In this case, that means allowing agencies to run with #independence in their oversight of #America without being yanked around by #politics.

Ugh that’s awful.

Be patient. I have no doubt it’s in the works

Trump to Big Pharma: Lower Your Prices, Pretty Please Real Law Moms examine whether the newest executive order is hammer or hype.

Learn why Trump’s executive order to Big Pharma has more bark than it does bite. “Pretty please or else” is probably not going to move the capital and legal needles.

I think you mean plane sight

Mother’s Day Musings In this rare post on this rare day of being pampered, the Real Law Moms applaud one of Trump’s Executive Orders!

Happy #Mother’s Day! This annual celebration may not actually be happy for all, though! We see you, and we empathize. We applaud (yes, you read that correctly) one of #Trump’s early Executive Orders that aims to help decrease the cost of #IVF.

They're seeking dismissal of crimes discovered by the hard work of the FBI after J6 so long as those crimes discovered were not against children. The trend is the DOJ is dismissing derivative gun charges, but not child pornography. Classic "have your cake and eat it, too" argument from the new DOJ

Who are the "victims"? Trump? The J6'ers? Unreal.

Real Pulse: Trump’s Executive Order on Domestic Drug Production—Relief or Risk? Trump wants U.S. meds made at home—Real Law Moms read the fine print so you don’t have to.

EO PULSE: Trump’s Executive Orders on Immigration and Law Enforcement are a Heavy-Handed Constitutional Gamble Real Law Moms have the skinny on the new EOs directed to sanctuary cities and super-charging law enforcement.

And yet he just issued this EO yesterday calling for stronger penalties against those who commit violence against law enforcement. The Trump administration needs your daily reminders, apparently. open.substack.com/pub/reallawm...

EO PULSE: Trump’s Executive Orders on Immigration and Law Enforcement are a Heavy-Handed Constitutional Gamble Real Law Moms have the skinny on the new EOs directed to sanctuary cities and super-charging law enforcement.

Do as I say, not as I do. Yesterday’s two executive orders ring some alarms. The #Law Enforcement EO calls for stronger sentences against those who commit violence against law enforcement. Does someone need to remind #Trump that he pardoned 1,500 people who committed violence against LEOs on #J6?
