Creation of an unaccountable oligarchy (see our podcast with @lawyeroyer.com in the responses)
Less than 24 hours after I posted about Pam Bondi's proposed rule that would stop state bar associations from investigating misconduct by DOJ lawyers, you all have posted 1436 comments. Thank you to all who have taken action, and please keep it up! Read more here: www.lawyeroyer.com/p/the-end-of...
It was in my comments (BlueSky limits the length of posts). Here is the link: www.regulations.gov/document/DOJ.... Thank you for taking action.
(3/3): This proposed rule would allow the Attorney General to interfere with independent state bar investigations. That will greatly harm the integrity of our justice system and allow misconduct to go unpunished.
(2/3): I believe that lawyers representing the United States should be held to the highest standards of ethics and professionalism. They must be subject to oversight by independent authorities like state bar associations; the Justice Department cannot be trusted to police itself.
SAMPLE OBJECTION you can model and adapt (1/3): I am a concerned citizen who cares deeply about preserving the rule of law and upholding the integrity of our justice system. I strongly oppose this new rule because it will diminish accountability for misconduct by government lawyers.

CALL TO ACTION: Today Pam Bondi announced a new rule that would stop state bar associations from investigating misconduct by lawyers. We can work to stop this rule by writing comments stating our objections. youtube.com/shorts/434iX...
Surprise, surprise. Pam Bondi’s brother is on a legal winning streak. Wonder why? A discussion with former DOJ pardon attorney Liz Oyer.

A question on many of our minds is: Can the President just take us to war whenever he feels the urge? In theory, the answer is no. But the reality is not so simple. youtube.com/shorts/uBIqZ...
I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to be American. Representing our country doesn’t mean bending the knee to the president. In fact, voicing our criticisms, refusing to accept our shortcomings, and striving to be better is true American patriotism. youtube.com/shorts/uLc5A...
Join us today for a new Anchor Watch with Bobby Jones and guest, former DOJ pardon attorney Liz Oyer.
1pm ET & 7pm ET TONIGHT, only on Lincoln Square:

When it comes to cryptocurrency, I’d rather stick my head in the sand. But it’s really important to understand how Trump is using it to enrich himself and his family—at the expense of America’s safety and security. youtube.com/shorts/r4csK...
Our top governmental officials are completely unserious people—with very serious responsibilities. If this makes you feel crazy, you’re not alone. youtube.com/shorts/Gm8vg...
The Supreme Court struck down Trump’s tariffs by a 6-3 vote, with two of three Trump-appointed Justices voting against him. This is a big blow to Trump’s whole political agenda, as SCOTUS seeks to rein in his abuse of claimed emergency powers. youtube.com/shorts/pnTkw...
Here is the declaration: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
In a stunning court filing, a senior DOJ official admitted that the government has violated dozens of court orders in immigration proceedings in recent weeks. And that’s just in the District of New Jersey—one of 94 federal district courts around the country. youtube.com/shorts/Ke7a6...
Ever since his sister became the Attorney General, business has been good for Brad Bondi, a white-collar defense lawyer. He has racked up an amazing set of wins for clients facing investigation and prosecution by Pam’s DOJ. But maybe it’s just a coincidence. youtube.com/shorts/9200i...
The SAVE America Act—a revised version of the SAVE Act—is a voter ID and citizenship proof law that just passed the House of Representatives. Many of you have asked what it means. It’s worse than you think. So let’s make sure it doesn’t get through the Senate. youtube.com/shorts/0a9zL...
An important step forward toward accountability for ICE! youtube.com/shorts/_fIKf...
Pam Bondi crashed out on Capitol Hill this week. Again. This is not normal. We should be able to expect more from our Attorney General. youtube.com/shorts/sCPtD...
In case you missed it live, I caught up with @katiecouric.bsky.social about Pam Bondi’s wild performance on Capitol Hill this week. youtu.be/AVgPEPhRWDQ?...
A grand jury in Washington, D.C. has refused to indict six members of Congress, delivering another blow to Donald Trump’s revenge agenda. This is proof that the legal system is still working, thanks to citizens standing strong against the abuse of power. youtube.com/shorts/rWBwq...
