I thought affordability was a made up word.

The Trump administration has new series of questions for colleges about affordability, curriculum, and “national service.” On Radio Atlantic, Jack Stripling, a Chronicle of Higher Education journalist, joins @adamhsays.com to discuss:

quite clearly, there is no plan, this speech was hollow on addressing real challenges with the Strait, leaving it to others, and there is no reason to expect the Strait will reopen anytime soon. no plan- no concern- this will likely start to push oil prices back up.

This. Don’t be mollified by a series of empty gestures.

Tide might be turning. Keep pushing. Keep calling, donating, protesting, all of it. Don’t stop, especially if Trump starts throwing them overboard. Don’t stop until they’re all gone

My late husband gave me his Purple Heart. I think I will apply for benefits since I am now a wounded veteran. 💜

Trump: “It was my Great Honor to meet María Corina Machado, of Venezuela, today. She is a wonderful woman who has been through so much. María presented me with her Nobel Peace Prize for the work I have done. Such a wonderful gesture of mutual respect. Thank you María!”

There is little reason to expect a happy ending for any of the four levels of this story. I suspect things will get worse on all four before they get better.

To me even more frightening than what Trump is capable of doing is how quickly the establishment is able to bend to excuse it.

the trump White House is largely assuming at this point that their House pressure campaign is failing and the Senate GOP could do Trumps work for him. Also even if that weren’t true he says the house committee deserved whatever it’s “legally entitled to” and he and his doj have very different…

In 2009, ADL said cartoonist Gary Trudeau referencing Jesus and the moneylenders was antisemitic, noting: "To speak of money-lenders harkens back the stereotype of Shylock, when Jews were forced by Christians to engage in usury.” So, in 2009, ADL believed Shylock was self-evidently antisemitic.

Trump refers to bankers as "shylocks"

The phrase "rule of law" appears nowhere in the Constitution, so instead of fomenting outrage over Trump, America's law professors should embrace more noble pursuits, like researching crimes committed by Joe Biden's ancestors and live tweeting Fox & Friends. by Jonathan Turley

D.C. Bar Office Elections Open 4/15! Those elected review & approve DC Bar policies, the Bar budget, governance for the Bar & much more. The DC Bar has more than 120,000 members. Last year only 6%, just over 7,000 members, voted in the election. Make your voice heard! Share with your network!

Friends in DC (and beyond) who are lawyers: Pam Bondi’s brother, along with other Trumpers are trying to take over the DC bar. Their goal is to block future ethics complaints about Trump DOJ lawyers. Please spread the word, and push back!

Every time the Democrats try to execute any plan it reminds me of the scene in Out of Sight where White Boy Bob is charging up the stairs menacing George Clooney with a gun and trips and shoots himself

To anyone and everyone who follows me who’s a member of the DC Bar - make sure you vote for her. Pam Bondi and MAGA are trying to take over the dc bar to protect themselves from attorney discipline. Don’t let it happen.

Diane Seltzer Esq@whatajlp.bsky.social

The support for my candidacy for President of DC Bar has been phenomenal - the energy is exactly what we need to win this election! @lincolnproject.us, @therickwilson.bsky.social, @gtconway.bsky.social - please amplify this support. My Candidate Statement: www.linkedin.com/posts/dianes...
