It’s a disgrace that Massachusetts pays criminal defense attorneys $65 per hour when New Hampshire pays twice that much. Our state cannot claim to be serious about equal justice unless it rectify this injustice.

The #1 way to explain America working properly is by saying “comedians can make fun of he President on TV.” A good way to explain fascism is “the President forces companies to fire those comedians as a condition of allowing them to conduct business.”

In effect, the Supreme Court ruled that only it could decide issues on a national level. And then, with thousands and thousands of people waiting in limbo for resolution of many legally disputed Trump orders, the justices went on summer vacation, not to return until October.

Trump's threat to cancel Musk's federal contracts underscored his willingness to use government power to punish enemies. In the old days, that might have been cause for a corruption investigation. In the modern era, it’s just another Thursday. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/u...

The Supreme Court should make it clear that Presidential actions that violate a court order cannot be “official acts” and therefore a President would not be immune from prosecution for them.
Worst Justice on the Court.
