Logging on here for the first time in eons just to say I have decided that my least favorite kind of attorney is the one who thinks he is too important to send emails so he makes his assistant send PDF letters every time he wants to correspond (it is always a he)
I don't really mind breaking anonymity with anyone who cares enough to follow me on a personal, so if you want my BlueSky (I have already followed some of y'all and also have 4 invite codes if anyone needs one) or personal Twitter (until this site dies), feel free to DM me!
I've been mostly MIA on here for a couple of years because things got busy at work and my non-anon account took priority. If this site becomes one you have to pay for, I'll be gone forever.
One of the few lawyers who risked her rep is @JennaEllisEsq
Support her GiveSendGo. Also realize 100K will barely pay for a motion to dismiss. Money is not enough here.

I don't think it's a matter of the size of the reward. I think it is more about whether he has to pay any of it. If he ultimately has to actually cut a check of any amount out of his own pocket, I bet we start seeing a change in how he approaches this one.
E. Jean Carroll and her lawyers are going after Donald Trump again for defamation, but is there an award high enough to keep the former president from saying what he wants to? https://t.co/RpPygdpZku
Summary of deal as I understand it:
— Debt ceiling raised 2 years
— Domestic programs frozen next year, up 1% ‘25. Inflation-adjusted cut
— Boosts defense, VA $
— Some tightening of work requirements on TANF, SNAP
— Energy permitting (details tbd)
— Claw back some new IRS $
As Yom HaShoah begins this evening, we stand with Israel and Jews around the world in remembering the 6 million Jewish men, women, and children murdered by the Nazis during the Holocaust.
We will never forget.
@jsbalek His accomplishments are obviously minimal compared to Taylor but he has worked consistently since 2016 and has been in some really good stuff.
I told him I was worried about anything that could help DeSantis, who scares me more. Given that we are in FL, he would be excited about a DeSantis run so things got a bit iffy when I started talking shit about him, but I got out of the conversation unscathed.
My Republican boss just walked into my office to ask me about my thoughts on the indictment. Managed to talk to him for 10 minutes without it getting too uncomfortable. A win is a win.
They broke us up into 5 different lines and now we have all just been standing outside the courtroom for nearly an hour because of a technical difficulty.
