It's amazing how so many billionaires - who have WAY more money than they could possibly need in 500 lifetimes - REALLY want to avoid paying small slivers of tax money to benefit a common good like social safety services for less fortunate countrymen within the society that made them billionaires.

Bravo.
A must read.
We have spent more than 1,000 years trying to separate the awesome prosecutorial powers of the state from the personal whims and vendettas of the head of state.

Trump’s actions and ideology seek to reverse those gains.

Here’s the history he’d like to reverse www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/the-oldest...

Not sure who needs to hear this but a US President can not pardon someone being charged for war crimes at The Hague.

As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store.

Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

For non-lawyers: this is the largest sanction against an attorney for frivolous conduct that I've ever heard of*. When attorneys are sanctioned $10-$20k is a big deal. This is a MASSIVE deal.

*- not counting the slightly different issue of defendants having their answer struck for misconduct.
NEW: An unanimous appeals court panel — authored by conservative Judge William Pryor and joined by Trump appointee Andrew Brasher — upheld a $1 million sanction againt Trump/Habba for filing a "frivolous" lawsuit against Hillary Clinton

JD Vance — begs folks to be patient with an economy he admits is bad. Trump — brags it’s the greatest ever.

I’ve said it so many times, Republicans stay synced and on message even when the message is a lie, but this slip tells a story.

There’s chaos behind the scenes and the wheels are coming off.

Let the wheels of justice turn. If the allegations are true and he is found guilty of this felony, this Representative will have lost the public’s trust and should resign. #NHPolitics

By reacting to this in this manner, he’s admitting that he’s ordering our military to commit illegal and unconstitutional acts.
"Their crime? Recording a video that reminded members of the military that they are not supposed to obey illegal orders."

Can you imagine if this had been proclaimed by a democratic president?

One of these outbursts would have been a scandal of the century.

How can he just continue like this?

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.

This isn’t controversial.

A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.
