I  know your goal is to try to make life as hard as possible for immigrants.

Well, I’m a lawyer, so let me give it a shot.

Starting to think that we should sort out a general agreement on trade and tariffs, perhaps housed under some sort of world trade organization. Let's keep the region strong with some kind of of north american free trade agreement. Perhaps a trans pacific partnership could soften China's influence.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

This story is absolutely bonkers.

Top national security officials in the Trump admin shared operational details of a military strike on Yemen in a Signal group chat, one they mistakenly added a journalist to, so he watched the whole thing play out in real time.

Just utter morons.

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

Seems like a good to to recall one of the core origin stories of the American legal community -- John Adam's defense of British soldiers who had fired on the crowd in Boston in 1770. Representation of the "despised." A belief lived (with valor, and at risk) by the NAACP. Be inspired.

“Trump’s new Executive Order underscores how far removed this President, Attorney General and Administration are from our nation’s Constitution and bedrock values. Our liberties depend on lawyers’ willingness to represent unpopular people and causes, including in matters adverse to the Federal Government. An attack on lawyers who perform this work is inexcusable and despicable. Our profession owes every client zealous legal representation without fear of retribution, regardless of their political affiliation or ability to pay. We encourage law firm leaders to sign on to an amicus effort in support of Perkins Coie’s challenge to the Administration’s executive order targeting the firm, and to resist the Administration’s erosion of the rule of law.” – John Keker, Robert Van Nest, Elliot Peters, Laurie Carr Mims, and the Keker, Van Nest & Peters Partnership

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
