Gainfully unemployed, wife, house, 2 kids (fled), dog and cat (RIP) ... the whole catastrophe. Which is to say, I spent 40 years practicing US Public Contract Law, Fiscal Law, and other legal matters in DC. Now, it's just fun and games.

Long way to go, but independent watchdogs and judges continue to push back on the Musk-Trump administration's illegal attacks on federal workers and dismantling of vital government agencies.
We must continue to mobilize against their illegal power grab.

Today, the US stood with Russia and North Korea — and against our allies — in voting against a UN resolution to condemn Russia's aggression against Ukraine. Let that sink in.
This is a betrayal of the Ukrainian people, our allies, our interests and those who aspire for freedom.

I saw this meme on a pop psychology site recently. It came up at a serendipitous moment.
As far as I can tell, the Trump Administration is staging its downsizing of agencies in violation of scores of laws. 1/9

To play this out, there will be literally dozens of lawsuits challenging what OMB is doing on the ground that it violates the Impoundment Control Act of 1974. Trump’s DOJ will argue that the Act is unconstitutional. And this will quickly get to #SCOTUS, where it will be the biggest case of the term.

OK, so I’m seeing #Booksky. Seems like a fine idea, as is #Bookwyrm in the greater Fediverse, which also avoids the Amazon market power. So, currently finishing Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. Just finished Franklin’s Autobiography, Dennis Lehane’s Small Mercies, and Joe Brainard’s I Remember. 1/2

Here’s the reality.
No USAtty would have charged this case given the underlying facts. After a 5 year investigation the facts as discovered only made that clear
Had his name been Joe Smith the resolution would have been - fundamentally and more fairly - a declination
Pardon warranted
