🚨BREAKING: Judiciary Democrats’ report details mounting evidence linking Trump to Epstein’s criminal activities and DOJ’s cover-up; specific accounts involving 11 women provide more evidence of potential sex crimes. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

The Trump Administration Has Devoted at Least $1.6 Billion in Taxpayer Dollars to Vanity Projects www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

Congressional investigations, eh? It‘s as though the WSJ has never heard of aiding-and-abetting liability.

Don’t know when or where this happened, but can’t stop watching Grampa Preznit seek the wide-open spaces while the Secret Service adjusts the perimeter on the fly and reminds him that the Beast is his car.

General counsels ought to wake up to the perils of aiding-and-abetting liability.

I’m not sure the bar will accept this distinction between “legal analysis” and “legal advice.”

In DC it is a contempt of court to hold oneself out as authorized to practice law, when one is not. And yes, holding oneself out can include using the word “lawyer.” See first page of D.C. Court of Appeals Rule 49, here: www.dccourts.gov/sites/defaul...

Judd Legum has quite the story this morning. #popularinformation

Norwegian Nobel Committee emphasizes the rule of law. www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace...

Tre45on is worrying that the Nobel Peace Prize might be awarded, in a few hours, not to him, but to the people of the City of Minneapolis or of the State of Minnesota.

This complaint asks for a TRO. But it’s not filed by the DNC. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Correlation? Or causation?

This ads-with-our-dollars move is tailor-made for a derivative claim. I’m willing to be the derivative plaintiff, o/b/o U.S. But I’ve lost track of how many cases I’ve brought pro se, on my own dollar. Is anyone willing to represent me pro bono? Or do I have to do this again all by myself?

The SCOTUS order granting cert in DHS v. DVD is notable for its long list of questions presented—including a fourth (!) Q that basically says to DOJ, “Ask any other questions you want.” Does the Court think there are other issues in the case that DOJ didn‘t pick up on, but will soon? Odd.

Judge grants TRO for CNN, MSNBC NOW, Politico: “the Court is skeptical—at least on this record—that Defendants’ interest in safeguarding national security is the actual motivation for, or is even advanced by, the revocation of Plaintiffs’ hard passes.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

TRUMP'S TOP 10 9/11 LIES Trump has lied incessantly about 9/11 over the years, above all glorifying himself. We shouldn't let his lies obscure the truth, or desecrate the day. And so, on Sept 10, here's a list of his top 10 9/11 lies over the years. 1/12 www.randomlengthsnews.com/archives/202...

Folks are asking what Judge Chutkan can do to enforce her order halting Trump’s arch. Well, my case is also before Judge Chutkan. Perhaps she’ll soon hold that citizen-taxpayers have standing to sue federal officials derivatively on behalf of the United States. And their aiders and abettors too.

Here's my write-up on five churches (4 in the Twin Cities & 1 in Michigan) where DHS sent undercover agents into events to secretly spy on people (including church members who weren't targets of any investigation): publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/department...

Deeply appreciated. Thank you, @coolsprings.bsky.social ! go.bsky.app/Td4n6bv

Here’s the TOC for my opposition to DOJ’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit against Trump, Bondi, and Pirro. Suing them, derivatively o/b/o the United States, for breach of fiduciary duty, legal malpractice, aiding & abetting. Motion is fully briefed. The District Court could rule any day now.

An AUSA appeared for Trump, Bondi, and Pirro. So I‘ve moved to disqualify DOJ from defending them against claims that I’m bringing derivatively, on behalf of the United States.

Feels like the trip to Beijing was to distract from the inflation numbers.

Remind me what Narcissus gazed at?

This might explain Camilla’s embellished outfits. apnews.com/video/king-c...

Why did Melania Trump curtsy to Queen Camilla at the White House? Americans do not bow to foreign royals.

Sunday night I file a legal-malpractice claim against Pirro about the Powell “investigation.” Five days later, Pirro purports to say that the Powell “investigation” is (supposedly) referred to another office. Correlation? Or causation?

Apparently Tre45on is now turning his attention to a reflecting pool. Which gives rise to a question… Has he read up lately on the Narcissus myth?

Sunday I file an action alleging legal malpractice as to DOJ’s subpoenas to the Federal Reserve. Monday night DOJ “withdraws” other subpoenas. www.ms.now/news/subpoen...

Henry V, act 3, scene 1, line 1.

What are the chances that, while visiting New York, King Charles will commemorate the anniversary of the inauguration of George Washington on April 30, 1789?

Is this rapist talk? “The hard part is done. So it should be easy, and… when this conflict is over, the Strait will open up naturally. It’ll just open up naturally. They’re going to want to be able to sell oil because that’s all they have to try and rebuild. It will resume the flowing…”

POTUS today will participate in an “Easter lunch.” It’s not even Maundy Thursday yet. April Fool? Religious-holiday confusion? rollcall.com/factbase/tru...

What are the odds that Iranian sleeper cells launch attacks on every building in the world that has Tre45on’s name on it?

SCOTUS just announced three opinion days, all at once. Don‘t think I’ve seen that before. It’s as though there was a conference today. “The Court may announce opinions on Friday, February 20, Tuesday, February 24, and Wednesday, February 25.”

Horse to water.

Oh, so federal courthouses are under the capo’s “protection”?

So… How many countries will now boycott the World Cup?
