    EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the top prosecutor for the Eastern District of Virginia. lawfaremedia.org/article/anna--…

    Gee I wonder why there’s a shortage of air traffic controllers
    Elon Musk tweet: There is a shortage of top notch air traffic controllers. If you have retired, but are open to returning to work, please consider doing so.

    JD Vance says women who haven’t given birth like Kamala Harris are “childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives,” and have “no direct stake” in America.

    Michael Waltz claimed that he’s “never met, don’t know, never communicated with” Jeffrey Goldberg. Here’s a photo of Waltz standing next to Goldberg during a 2021 event at the French Embassy. The event Waltz attended—a Q&A with a French filmmaker—was moderated by Goldberg.

    Hours after the Paul Weiss news broke, an associate at Skadden Arps sent a firm-wide email: "Please consider this email my two week notice, revocable if the firm comes up with a satisfactory response to the current moment...We do not have time. It is now or it is never, and if
    Jeremy and colleagues, Many deals I work on have concepts of conditional
notice. This is mine. Please consider this email my two week notice, revocable if the firm comes up with a satisfactory response to the current moment, which should include at minimum (i) signing on to the firm amicus brief in support of Perkins Coie in its litigation fighting the Trump administration's executive order against it, ii) committing to broad future representation, regardless of whether powerful people view it as adverse to them, (iii) refusal to cooperate with the EEOC's request for personal information of our colleagues clearly targeted at intimidating non-white employees, (iv) public refusal to fire or otherwise force out employees at the Trump administration's directive or implied directive and (v) public commitment to maintenance of affinity
groups and related initiatives. This is not what I saw for my career or for my evening, but Paul Weiss' decision to cave to the Trump administration...

    Last week, Elon Musk appeared alongside Trump in the Oval to defend the work of DOGE. Looking directly at Musk, Trump asked; “Could you mention some of the things *your team* has found?” Today, the government claimed that Musk isn’t in charge of DOGE & isn’t a DOGE employee.

    In a new filing, a Trump Administration official says that Elon Musk is not the Administrator in charge of DOGE. He’s a Senior Advisor to the President, per declaration.

    In @time, Trump’s nephew recounts a conversation w/ then-president Trump after 2020 White House meeting with disability advocates. “Those people…” Trump said of people w/ complex care needs. “The shape they’re in, all the expenses, maybe those kinds of people should just die.”

    Donald J. Trump
@realDonald Trump
The very wonderful and talented Lara Trump, whose show is a big ratings success, put racist sleazebag Charlamagne "The God" (Why is he allowed to use the word "GOD" when describing himself? Can anyone imagine the uproar there would be if I used that nickname?). He's a Low IQ individual, has no idea what words are coming out of his mouth, and knows nothing about me or what I have done - like just ending 5 Wars, including a 31 year bloodbath between Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, where Seven Million people have died, and there was no end in sight.
