After Law Firm Deals With Trump, D.C. Bar Warns of Ethical Jeopardy

Wow. "Months after law firms made deals with President Trump to ward off punitive executive orders, the ethics committee of the District of Columbia Bar is warning that such arrangements may require firms to drop or obtain waivers from all clients who have interests at odds with the government."

Trump Administration Providing Weapons Grade Plutonium to Sam Altman The White House is providing plutonium to Sam Altman's Oklo, one of four US companies chosen to test experimental reactor designs.

"If there were adults in the room and I could trust the federal government to impose the right standards, it wouldn't be such a great concern, but it just doesn't seem feasible."

"Thousands of years." 🧵

"[I]n order to obtain significant reductions in total inventories of Am or other TRU, adv nuclear fuel cycles would have to be maintained for a very long period time – on the order of several hundred years."

—EPRI. Adv Nuclear Fuel Cycles… 2010.

Or, as Sean puts it eloquently, "the goal shouldn’t be to add more bricks — it’s to start taking the dynamite out."

Threads post from julieceye At my local Home Depot today in Evanston, IL. They abducted 5 people in my immediate area.

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

Here’s what’s at stake in the shutdown:

If Republicans get their way, 50,000 Americans will die unnecessarily every year.

15 million will lose their health care.

20 million will see their premiums double.

All so they can give a trillion dollar tax break to the 1%.

Gives whole new meaning to "buying an election."

'Due to material limitations, it is not possible to consider… total removal of minor actinides by irradiation in one irradiation cycle. For an average absorption cross section in a fast spectrum for actinides, a total irradiation time of 73y is needed to achieve a 99% reduction in the initial mass.'

Trump solved his problem of having to present actual proof that the people they have been murdering on boats are narco terrorists by letting the two witness survivors of the last attack go home.

As one does with narco terrorists.

Trump's federal agents shot Marimar Martinez, a US citizen, multiple times for allegedly menacing them with her car in Chicago. Only hours later, Kristi Noem and DHS started spreading disinformation about the shooting.

Now the official line is crumbling. 1/
