So many great lines/observations. (Not least the reminder that the very serious bizguys didn't think Harris was serious.)

🚨BREAKING: Four more Big Law firms join the ranks of Trump collaborators. A&O Shearman, Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins and Simpson Thacher all capitulated.
In a sign of growing inflation, each firm agreed to $125m in Trump approved pro bono. Shameful.

Trump is engaging in a massive purge of public servants, so why does he want firms to offer them pro bono help? It will legal aid for Trump appointees for when the break the law (also, the firms are told to hire Trump admin alum). They are turning these law firms into Trump law firms.

This thread by the Congressman is a lie, and we should primary Democrats who lie to people about the content of statutes.

Bribe for hire Pam Bondi has officially restored violent convicted domestic abuser Mel Gibson’s gun rights after being taken away from him in 2011.
I’ll say it again, Pam Bondi isn’t an Attorney General, she’s a criminal hired to help criminals.

You know it’s bad when the illegitimate compromised Supreme Court voted unanimously to force the orange felon and his group of criminals to bring back the Maryland man they deported to El Salvador.
Also, let’s stop pretending it was a mistake, it was done on purpose.

Democratic Congresswoman Sara Jacobs introduced a bill called the Delete DOGE Act which would defund DOGE since it’s only purpose is to empower a corrupt billionaire to hide fraud not prevent it. I doubt it’ll be passed due to republican obstruction, but thank you Congresswoman.

"The catch is that in order to get attention, you have to be terrible. You have to lie or embrace evil. In the attention economy there is enormous demand for civic blasphemy. What’s hard is getting attention for messages about truth, or virtue, or love."
Why Cory Booker’s Speech Matters
Booker didn’t “accomplish” anything. He was a voice of one crying in the wilderness. And that’s how you build a dissident movement: with simple acts of witness.
