This will be quite a match-up: Trump's personal attorney who has never tried a case vs former Chicago U.S. Attny Fitzgerald who among other things "went after the Gambino crime family, al-Qaida and even the White House in court — not to mention several Illinois politicians"

Read every word of this. Millions of Californians can now be profiled by the color of their skin and the language they speak, thanks to the Supreme Court. This is not the slippery slope. We are already on the slide towards dictatorship.

1/ If you are feeling overwhelmed by the fast paced of legal news, remember that it’s deliberate. It’s a strategy Trump uses, flooding the zone in hopes that people will tune out. Read what you need to know here to get ready for the week: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.

Trump & Kennedy, instead of attacking diseases are attacking the scientists who keep us safe, exactly what anyone who watched Trump’s performance during Covid, is familiar with Kennedy’s anti-science views, or read Project 2025 could have anticipated. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/h...

Maybe ICE shouldn’t have lowered their standards for new recruits.

Disgraceful.

If we're going to win this race, I need you with me. Election experts have already upgraded our chances, but I don’t have a bunch of billionaire friends or corporate interests bankrolling me. I need you. Please make a donation to help us flip this seat:

PICU/NICU RN here👋🏼 The American Academy of Pediatrics just said it will continue to recommend its own childhood vaccine schedule regardless of what RFK Jr's AICP recommends. This is leadership. 🫡

happy juneteenth here are some of my fave books by black authors HIGHLY recommend all of them

🚨New Pub Alert!🚨 PLOS One has just released our latest article on Crisis Pregnancy Centers and their role in spreading reproductive health misinformation. In this Open Access research paper, my co-authors and I analyze staff interviews and training materials to understand the spread of misinfo. 🧵

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows: An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

It only took 95 days to get to “arresting federal judges for defending due process.”

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

I don’t even know how this could be presented as being in service of anything other than hindering scientific progress.

Trump and Vance would NEVER, EVER, talk to Putin like that. And everyone knows it.

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

Lawyers, this is what it looks like to honor your oath as a lawyer and as a prosecutor. I want to lift up Denise Cheung, one of a growing group of senior DOJ lawyers who have put the rule of law ahead of politics & short-term career advancement. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

The CFPB was dismantled over the weekend, with all activities suspended, its funding reduced to zero, and its headquarters temporarily closed—removing a crucial layer of oversight for consumer-facing financial companies. Staff members ordered to cease all ‘supervision and examination activities.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Happy holidays threads! My #Christmas gift to you is the choral rendition of my leopards song the internet has been begging for!! Sadly Bluesky is a hater aka I can't share videos over 60 seconds, but it's over on my IG and Tiktok if you wanna see! www.instagram.com/p/DEAqalWukbu/

Merry Christmas to all

I was really hoping we'd have a woman as president before we had one from South Africa, but here we are.

It took four years longer than Trump planned, but the January 6th insurrection ultimately succeeded after all. This was due to three main reasons: the cowardice of feckless Republicans in Congress; the greed of all-powerful billionaires; and disinformation fed to voters by Fox News and social media.

If you haven’t turned on the news on for a while, but you know you should be staying informed, please give us a try. It’s free. It’s safe. And there’s appropriate profanity. Women-owned. Women-operated. Independent. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone who wishes the media would grow a spine and learn to interview the lying piece of shit properly the way Barbara Walters did fearlessly back in the day. She was prepared for his lies and HANDLED him. Stop sanewashing his crazy bullshit.

I am sick to my stomach at the sheer jubilation over on Twitter right now that Daniel Penny got away with murdering Jordan Neely, an unhoused Black man with mental issues. It's disgusting.

Now this makes a lot of sense

This is... actually a fairly reasonable takeaway from this year.

More than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm RFK Jr. The letter marks the first time in recent memory that Nobel laureates have banded together against a Cabinet choice. But Kennedy is a threat they could not ignore, one said. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/h...

Pregnancy is considered a pre-existing medical condition if you're already pregnant when you sign up for health insurance. However, under the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies can't deny coverage or charge more for pre-existing conditions, including pregnancy. Don’t cut our health care!

This is truly the best legal advice we can give.
