Federal prosecutors in New York and Washington resign after refusing to drop Adams charges At least six prosecutors, including the acting U.S. attorney in Manhattan, have stepped down over the DOJ order to dismiss corruption charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams.

Proud of prosecutors in SDNY and Washington who resigned rather than carry out DAG Emil Bove’s order to dismiss indictment against NYC Mayor Eric Adams.
Integrity > politics and careerism.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

lawyers: your bat signal has been activated

We call upon our elected representatives to stand with us and to insist upon adherence to the rule of law and the legal processes and procedures that ensure orderly change. The administration cannot choose which law it will follow or ignore. These are not partisan or political issues. These are rule of law and process issues. We cannot afford to remain silent. We must stand up for the values we hold dear. The ABA will do its part and act to protect the rule of law. We urge every attorney to join us and insist that our government, a government of the people, follow the law. It is part of the oath we took when we became lawyers. Whatever your political party or your views, change must be made in the right way. Americans expect no less.

The American Bar Association has just called upon every attorney, regardless of their political views, to join them & stand up for the rule of law & at minimum insist that our government "follow the law."

Every lawyer has an ethical responsibility to do so.

Trump to pause enforcement of law banning bribery of foreign officials The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act became law in 1977. In 2024, the Department of Justice announced 24 cases related to the anti-bribery statute.

I'm sure that'll bring down the price of eggs.

A stencil graffiti on a concrete surface featuring a crossed-out portrait of Elon Musk, surrounded by the phrase “KEEP EUROPE ELON-FREE.” The design resembles a protest or resistance symbol.

Tesla sales in Europe are plummeting, with Germany down 60% and France 63% in January. Key factor: backlash over Elon Musk’s far-right affiliations, including support for AfD in Germany. His politics now impact Tesla’s market perception. This is the way.

Elon Musk's X begins its push into financial services with Visa deal Visa will enable X users to move funds between traditional bank accounts and their digital wallet and make instant peer-to-peer payments, like Zelle or Venmo.

If you’re a Visa cardholder you can let them know you won’t be any longer if they do business with fElon. I called and they said they’re taking comments at askvisa@visa.com. Maybe if enough of us complain they’ll pull the deal.

I'm going to make this real explicit since people seem to need that

felon/President Trump would not be trying to get interlocutory (midway) appellate review of the TRO unless the TRO was perceived as an actual obstacle

in short, felon/President Trump is still bounded by courts and their orders

*TRUMP ASKED IF HE SEES JD VANCE AS SUCCESSOR, SAYS: NO

10/10 no notes

Thou shalt not spend millions on Super Bowl ads about Jesus when you could’ve used it to feed the hungry.

Chris Hayes is a real one.

Trump: We're going to offer a buyout to get rid of all federal workers.

Judge: No.

Trump: We're going to shut down USAID and kill millions across the globe!

Judge: No.

Trump: We're going to steal everyone's social security numbers!

Judge: No.

Keep it up, use the courts!

Trump administration solves problem that it created.

Mary Miller is the same one who quoted Hitler a few years back.

Can’t believe I’m typing this but…

FUCK IT IM PLANNING A STAND UP FOR SCIENCE PROTEST IN DC.

If you want to be involved, be dm me. I’m nervous, I’ve never done this before, but we gotta be the change we want to see in the world.

We are getting reports that disabled employees of the federal government who have already established reasonable accommodations on the basis of disability will have to reapply for those accommodations, and that the **agency head** will make the final determination

This is hilarious. I especially like the annexation of Green Bay and the mystery Mississippi River announcement.

::MEASLES OUTBREAK IN TEXAS::

A large measles outbreak is rapidly escalating in Texas incl Gaines, Lubbock, and Lynn counties where vaccination rates are low.

Over 30 children with confirmed infection, many of whom are hospitalized. Multiple suspected cases are under investigation.

Ellen Weintraub, chair of the Federal Election Commission, announced that President Trump sent her a letter declaring her immediate removal. However, Weintraub rejected the action, stating it was not legally valid.

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections.

Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

Raffensperger Asks Federal Government for Help Suppressing Voters Read more.

NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202.

I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

That's it for tonight friends. GO TO BED!

All of us might wish at times that we lived in a more tranquil world, but we don't. And if our times are difficult and perplexing, so are they challenging and filled with opportunity.

Robert Kennedy Sr.

We want to take a moment to express how proud we are of you, America. You have stood up and spoken out every step of the way—especially when Congress and the media remained silent. When we called for help, you answered.

THIS IS IT. The special general elections for Florida’s 1st & 6th Congressional Districts are on APRIL 1, 2025. If we flip these seats, we can STOP Project 2025. No excuses! Mark your calendars! Show up!

🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is supremely fucked up. I mean, I read about this earlier, but to see it in writing is devastating.

HERO!! At this crucial moment in history, we all need more Ellens to stand up

Federal wildland firefighters were told they should find “higher productivity jobs in the private sector.”
