DOJ attempts to evade state ethics oversight of its attorneys Legal groups swiftly denounced the department's latest attempt to avoid oversight.

And yet…DOJ is seeking to change laws to do this everywhere via a new proposed federal rule

In a parking lot you see a large gray/blackish mound of snow and ice with debris strewn through it. Orange and yellow construction cones block it off. You can see a bit of a white roof at the fields/RFK and light poles.

Yay! It’s stopped raining/freezing rain for the first time in days and the ice has finally melted off my street!
Boo-I found all the ice on my run at the Fields!

Over/under on when it all melts?

Big law cowardly capitulated for NO reason plus tarnished their brands with clients & students:

β€œTheir agreements were appalling to start, indefensible once the wins started piling up from those who did challenge Trump, and outright embarrassing if the Trump administration drops these appeals.”

Kansas invalidates IDs and birth certificates of transgender people Kansas' new anti-transgender law, SB 244, invalidates driver's licenses and birth certificates for over a thousand transgender people.

Where is the ACLU or anyone else??

While notifications of invalid licenses are going out still people are being warned they cannot drive with an invalid drivers license or face additional penalties.

Now I fear targeting and profiling of trans folks.
