Opinion | The Trump Administration Floats a New Way to Humiliate the Legal Profession

This move against state bars is of a piece with the administration’s broader strategy against universities, the media and law firms β€” any organization capable of challenging the president’s power. And few things threaten it more than holding it to the the truth. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/o...

Pani Natalia, 70 evacuated her husband in a wheelchair from the killzone.

They walked 13km (!) until they got to the Ukrainian defenders on the outskirts of Kostiantynivka.

"We've been together for 51yrs. I will never leave him".

Impossible to watch this w/o tears.

Let’s circle back around and put a pin in that, after we take this offline. But we’re doing all the heavy lifting of all the low hanging fruit and once we assess the KPIs we’ll be in a better position to really drive this one home. When we have the bandwidth we’ll be tackling all these action items.

πŸ€™Governor Newsom, are you listening? Support the CA Millionaire Tax initiative if you want people to believe your words and action align.

The Millionaires' Tax is about making life more affordable.

We delivered on sending a significant portion of revenues back to Washingtonians, including the largest tax break in state history for small business owners.

That’s War 😱. Do Trump and his adoring sycophants realize that every time they call the Iran War an excursion, special military operation, or anything else nonsensical, they are denigrating the contributions of the πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ fallen? Protecting and supporting these Gold Star families is imperative πŸ™πŸΎ.

Trump is a demagogue who not only targets Democrats with bogus criminal charges, but goes after conservative Republicans like Fed Chair Jerome Powell.

Powell’s β€œcrime”? He didn't bow to Trump.

Today, a judge appropriately blocked the Justice Department from issuing subpoenas.

Wonder what’s going to happen when the Trump-themed assets are going to get targeted? Loosen tariff rates for institutional protection?

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

BREAKING: Judge blocks DOJ’s weaponized subpoenas targeting Fed Chair Powell

Court: no evidence of any crime β€” just a pressure campaign to do Trump’s bidding on interest rates

"Governor Pritzker wants funds flowing for Great Lakes carp plan after Trump heaps praise on project he paused." Headline from the Chicago Sun-Times

The Trump Administration is betraying every American who relies on the Great Lakes.

The President must uphold his stated commitment and deliver the federal funds for the Brandon Road Interbasin Project.

Illinois has done its part β€” it’s past time he does his.

We should all be outraged by the recent attack on the synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan.

This is part of a growing tide of antisemitism in our country.

As Americans, we must stand together and fight antisemitism, Islamophobia and all forms of racism and bigotry.

"The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better."

The Defense Secretary calling for a billionaire ally of the government to take over a media outlet & make it more pro-government. This is what authoritarianism looks like. But in other countries they try & hide it.

He is just making things up, and the whole world knows the truth. The United States has never looked weaker because of these lies and his complete lack of a plan or strategy. Wars cannot be won with gaslighting and Truth Social posts.
