Exclusive | Trump Administration to Drop Defense of Law Firm Sanctions The Justice Department is expected to drop its appeals of four trial-court rulings that struck down the president’s actions against Jenner & Block, WilmerHale, Perkins Coie, and Susman Godfrey.

sure is just as well that no big name law firms immediately capitulated to these unlawful actions, thus signalling both their cowardice *and* incompetence.

Must-read new report!

It's excellent work, providing crucial insight into how service to Social Security applicants and beneficiaries deteriorated over the past year.

It's especially important now that SSA leadership has removed most customer-facing metrics from public view.

“In the last year, it’s gotten a lot worse” A Qualitative Investigation of Barriers to Disability Benefits in 2025 - DREDF The Mobility Device User Survey (MDUS) reported here was stimulated by reports from mobility device users of the many problems, limitations, and long waits associated with the process of acquiring a m...

I'm thrilled to announce a new report I wrote with @ksavin.bsky.social and @calliefreitag.bsky.social on the impact of DOGE/Trump 2.0 turmoil on Social Security disability programs.

As the title says, these programs have always been tough to navigate. But in the last year, they've gotten worse.

Yeah they warned me that there will likely be some permanent nerve damage. But I've had so many problems with L4/L5 for the last two decades that i will take whatever relief I can get.

Exclusive | Trump won’t rule out sending US troops into Iran ‘if necessary’— tells The Post ‘I don’t care about polling’ “I have to do the right thing,” Trump told The Post. “I have to do the right thing. This should have been done a long time ago.”

NY Post says Trump told them 1) won't rule out US troops in Iran and 2) "I don't care about polling".

That's a bold strategy, Cotton, let's see how it plays out for him.

a reminder that Graham Platner is the grandson of the designer of the "Windows on the World" restaurant at the WTC, has considerable family money, and his main business is selling oysters to his mom's two restaurants. These people are fucking marks.

A year after Trump and DOGE got their hands on a system that provides disability benefits to 16 million people, what does it look like to try to get SSI and SSDI today?

Check this account this afternoon for an in-depth qualitative report on precisely that topic.
