Oops thinking of Harry Chappin who died in 1981 in a car crash, a 1975 VW beetle.

40 months to go until Trump is out of office. I worry that he will take over before then and never leave office. Vote for democracy! Vote!

Saw him in concert after separating from my first wife. He was so touching. His music talked to me. I am Tearing up just thinking about listening to β€œTaxi” again. It was a rainy night in Frisco… thanks for the reminder. I had a VW bug then also.

Six months down, 42 more months of the orange chaos. May the house and Senate turn blue and wash the orange stain away!

Four months in and 44 months to go. This is scary! We muted him when he was at the house today and it was easy to tell he was lying. His mouth was moving! I’m sure he used his usual third grade vocabulary to explain the debt bomb his bill will increase. Scary!

Nothing to see here. Just @emilyjaynef.bsky.social being forcibly removed from NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler's town hall tonight for having the temerity to act like a citizen of the United States. Hero.

Trump presidential orders target law firms. Here's how some lawyers say that threatens the rule of law. In recent weeks, President Trump has signed orders targeting several law firms. Some lawyers warn that the president's assault on the legal profession threatens the rule of law itself.

A senior partner at one firm told 60 Minutes that the President's orders were "Diabolical - intended to bankrupt us."

Former Deputy AG for George Bush, Donald Ayer: "Our whole system of government is at stake."

The full 60 Minutes segment is here. πŸ‘‡

The next 45 months cannot go fast enough. End the Chaos 47 and resign. The worst president since 45.

CNBC's Steve Liesman doesn't mince words about the way the White House calculated its tariff rates:

"Nobody ever heard of this formula. Nobody has ever used this formula. So I’m sorry, but the conclusion seems to be the president kind of made this up as he went along... these are off the charts."

The Quislings and Cowards of Big Law An open letter to Skadden & Arps. [LANGUAGE WARNING]

Actually, no β€œstrong-arming,” was required at all, was it?. You didn’t wait for an executive order. You didn’t join with your fellow lawyers in fighting back. You didn’t stand on any principle. You embraced your ignominy. You pathetic Vichy flunkies.

Pennsylvania Must Count Undated Mail-In Ballots, Federal Court Rules Read more here.

In all of the big news today, don't overlook today's PA voting rights victory. This would have resulted in 10,000 more votes being counted in 2022 and 5,000 in 2024.

Republicans have fought us at every turn to throw out these votes. But today we won for our clients--DSCC and DCCC--and PA voters.

An β€˜Administrative Error’ Sends a Maryland Father to a Salvadoran Prison The Trump administration says it mistakenly deported an immigrant with protected status but that courts are powerless to order his return.

Everyone involved in the Alien Enemies Act "deportations" (kidnapping) is a depraved monster. This poor man and his family, my god.
