The thing that gets me about this Trump slush fund is that for years the right falsely accused the left of paying for protestors and rioters. Now they are twisting the legal system so they can *checks notes* PAY RIOTERS

They'll never beat the false flag rumors like this

Kind of wild how @scotusblog.com — no comment on its new redesign — has gone into full gear to undermine the @nytimes.com story about the shadow docket papers, and specifically to call into question @stevevladeck.bsky.social's many years of research and thinking on this topic.

As @kathryn1.bsky.social flagged earlier today…the Volokh Conspiracy army are preparing to grasp at every imaginable straw to make this about “the leak” instead of “Republican justices made up fake law because they were worried about their personal stock portfolios”

Wake up, babe… new civ pro doctrine of “take backsies” just dropped. abovethelaw.com/2026/03/trum...

Too many jerks at firms or are we oversensitive? Plus, DC Bar election blowout! Why? Leading a Bar in '25 means standing up to power. Pam Bondi's bro didn't convince members. This fear of strong Bars led FL to kneecap theirs! tinyurl.com/32a6bvzf #Law #DCBar #LawyerLife @kathryn1.bsky.social

Great news! The law firm of Susman Godfrey is hitting back at the Trump administration over its illegal and unethical executive order targeting the firm. @kathryn1.bsky.social tells us all about it in her well written article. abovethelaw.com/2025/04/susm...

Pro Bono Payola is a fantastic phrase and I’m angry I didn’t think of it.

Fair warning: I'm about to lean HARD into the term pro bono payola abovethelaw.com/2025/03/skad...

Another way to see this is when Pryor and @joepatrice.bsky.social are on the same page about something, you're meddling with powers you cannot possibly comprehend.

Ok this headline is headlining: Jenner & Block To Trump: See You In Court, Not On Our Knees abovethelaw.com/2025/03/jenn...

Lawyers who fail to stand up for other lawyers who are being targeted by the Trumpers are being very bad lawyers, in addition to being cowards. The Trump Regime is attacking the rule of law; and without the rule of law, there will not be much of a need for lawyers.

“Conway opines as to why Biglaw firms aren’t collectively working together to fight what Trump is doing and protect the legal system as we know it, and he chalks a lot of it up to cowardice.”

Okay, but “lady flower hemomancy” is so metal abovethelaw.com/2025/02/call...

watching the “things are fair when everyone gets what they need” episode of Daniel Tiger feels like an act of resistance in 2025. That’s… horrifying

I'm going to write something new today, but the white media quest to normalize the idea of ending birthright citizenship has been going on for some time. Yesterday was the capstone of the white supremacist project on this issue. Here's me from 6 years ago on @abovethelaw.com

This is the most lawyer shit ever: "authored & discussed with [Professionals] a 24-page memorandum detailing the strategy & tactics he had devised, based on [opponent's] playing patterns...past mistakes when playing him, information gathered from other poker players, & computer simulated practice."

James Ho is out there *grinding* to make sure he stays on top of Donald Trump's SCOTUS shortlist t.co/TIEBk56dvO

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you're eating off your toddler's plate -- that you've lovingly prepared -- because they've inexplicably rejected it, that food has zero calories If it's ice cold by the time you get to eat it, you're actually losing weight
