Meet the U.S. Attorney

Has Kevin Davidson been acting us attorney for... a year and a half? www.justice.gov/usao-mdal/me... (there is also a line attorney listed on the indictment www.justice.gov/opa/media/14...)

Only funny answers:

If you'd known in 2016 that in 2026 we'd be reading the inimitable @elienyc.bsky.social write: "I do think impeachment [of President Trump for the third time] keeps the irradiation of an entire people off the table" you would have _____________?

This is a beautiful statement worth reading in full. Sometimes I despair we've made no progress since #MeToo, but that's not right. There's a lot of learning reflected here, and my heart is full seeing it.

MTD Ruling on Standing ABA Case UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION, Plaintiff, v. EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT, et al., Defendants. Civil Action No. 25-01888 (AHA) Memoran...

HUGE!

ABA suit against Trump challenging Law Firm Intimidation Policy survived motion to dismiss, may proceed.

Opinion is here: docs.google.com/document/u/0....

Strong quote up top: "the ABA’s complaint...easily surpasses what Article III requires at this stage."

Collective action is the way!

Trump Has Discussed Firing Attorney General Pam Bondi

If it was evidence Bondi was in Trump's good graces that he went to SCOTUS with her this morning, whuh-oh. Plus, sharks must circle after an article like this. There's no amount of loyalty and personal debasement a middle aged woman can show him to secure her place. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/u...

+ It's terrible, actually, for those firms to pay 1Ls touristing their way through a public interest summer as much as the non-profit office administrator makes in a year, the starting attorney in the same office makes the other 9 months a year, or the ED makes in the same 10 weeks as the 1L.

My favorite #NoKings sign of the day. Didn't even notice the person #FlippingTheBird until after. NYC was its fabulous self today.

Great thread 🧵

Me, holding a red, white, and blue handmade sign that quotes Ben Franklin who said "A republic, if you can keep it" with the US Capitol in the background. No the red baseball cap isn't MAGA.

Today is the one year anniversary of Skadden's capitulation. Leading up to it, I'll be honest, I was wondering how to be OK today. So I can't tell you my dose of delight and relief when I found out today is also #NoKingsDay Filled with gratitude for the many fellow travelers & #SeeYouInTheStreets.

DOJ building engraved with John Locke quote "Where law ends, tyranny begins."

My son says Trump is treating the Declaration of Independence grievances like his to do list. And that it's unfortunate DOJ engraved a cheat code right on the outside of the building.

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

So actually using ICE at airports for security is not permissible. My colleagues @protectdemocracy.org explain: protectdemocracy.org/wp-content/u...

DOJ guts office that helps indigent immigrants obtain affordable legal aid, sources say The DOJ's Recognition and Accreditation program enables non-attorneys to assist immigrants with needs including naturalization petitions and immigration court appearances.

This is a travesty. The accredited representative program has been important to #AccessToJustice in #immigration. If anything, it was much too small. This administration makes clear again and again it is opposed to a functional immigration system.

That is very beautiful.

Heck, just press a button on your phone, in your pajamas, and let that robot do the grunt work!

Amen🙏

That owlet looks like it also had a super fucked up day. I love the mopey scowl. I hope tomorrow (or in its case, tonight?) is better for you both.

Wise and bracing advice from @danielmilleresq.bsky.social (on LinkedIn): "Use your energy to help get us out of the storm, not to deny that we’re in one."

Two Illegal Biolabs Reveal Gaps in U.S. Biosecurity The discovery of CCP-linked biolabs on American soil exposes major biosecurity gaps. Policymakers must act to improve oversight of biological research activity.

👀🤢😱 In case you were short on things to lose sleep over: this is an eye-opening and disturbing read.

Appreciate @lawfaremedia.org for elevating this issue and potential policy interventions. ❤️‍🩹⚕️😷
