Fun fact as you watch Trump's stormtroopers crack heads and fire usually-less-than-lethal rounds at protesters in Los Angeles: the highest-paid CEO in America, with salary and stock worth $165 million, is the head of the company that makes Tasers. www.wsj.com/business/ric...

I got this cool new brooch but now I’m worried I might be mistaken for an advisor to the Trump administration.

AUSA Hagan Scotten, former clerk for John Roberts, really put some mustard on his resignation letter.

Re: United States v. Eric Adams, 24 Cr. 556 (DEH)
Mr. Bove,
I have received correspondence indicating that I refused your order to move to dismiss the indictment against Eric Adams without prejudice, subject to certain conditions, including the express possibility of reinstatement of the indictment. That is not exactly correct. The U.S.
Attorney, Danielle R. Sassoon, never asked me to file such a motion, and I therefore never had an opportunity to refuse. But I am entirely in agreement with her decision not to do so, for the reasons stated in her February 12, 2025 letter to the Attorney General.
In short, the first justification for the motion-that Damian Williams's role in the case somehow tainted a valid indictment supported by ample evidence, and pursued under four different U.S. attorneys is so weak as to be transparently pretextual. The second justification is worse.
No system of ordered liberty can allow the Government to use the carrot of dismissing charges, or the stick of threatening to bring them again, to induce an elected official to support its policy objectives.
There is a tradition in public service of resigning in a last-ditch effort to head off a serious mistake. Some will view the mistake you are committing here in the light of their generally negative views of the new Administration. I do not share those views. I can even understand how a Chief Executive whose background is in business and politics might see the contemplated dismissal-with-leverage as a good, if distasteful, deal. But any assistant U.S. attorney would know much i i red oril, in this ily. wing the perset arthro he Reside is ving to,
give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.
Please consider this my resignation. It has been an honor to serve as a prosecutor in the
Southern District of New York.
Yours truly,
Hagan Scotten

Counterculture author Tom Robbins has died
His first novel, “Another Roadside Attraction,” was published in 1971 when Robbins was 39 -- more than three decades after declaring to his parents, at age 5, that he’d be a writer.

I signed up to read to my daughter’s 2nd grade class today, but I couldn’t find an age-appropriate book about my job, so I wrote one last night and popped it in a 3 ring binder. Also I colored it in myself. I’m grateful for this opportunity to maximally embarrass my child.

In my role as a criminal defense atty, I represented a trans woman improperly housed in a male facility. One of the guards told her if she was tired of being raped, she should try sucking more dick. This was a pretrial detention, and the case was later dismissed.

I lived in a country that didn’t have birthright citizenship for a couple of years. Relatedly, that country also had a large number of stateless children of trafficked women.

This is one of the most ghoulish things I’ve ever fucking read. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
(e) The Attorney General shall evaluate the places of imprisonment and conditions of confinement for each of the 37 murderers whose Federal death
sentences were commuted by President Biden, and the Attorney General shall take all lawful and appropriate action to ensure that these offenders are imprisoned in conditions consistent with the monstrosity of their crimes and the threats they pose.
The Attorney General shall further evaluate whether these offenders can be charged with State capital crimes and shall recommend appropriate action to state and local authorities.

I can’t comment on the inauguration -too busy prepping for extreme weather caused by climate change and power outages due to privatized grid and electric supplier monopoly. Capitalism is going really great right now. Also: fuck you, Boomers.

For Blue Monday we can't think of anything more appropriate than this charming depiction of a man getting his face eaten off by a leopard. #MosaicMonday
A horrific image of a someone who seems to have his hands tied behind his back. A big cat (the predator kind, not the overfed pet kind) has jumped up at him and is devouring his face. Blood splashes on the floor.

Hi. Defense attorney in Texas. I ran an office of lawyers defending people caught in Abbott's "Operation Lonestar" scheme. There are absolutely already concentration camps at the border. The idea that they are going to pour more federal resources into making it bigger is completely terrifying.

Hi, I'm Allison, and I give zero fucks about Biden pardoning his son. In fact, on the list of Most Odious Pardons, I would not rank it in the top 1,000. Let's see what the first hundred days of Trump brings for undeserved mercy before we get too excited about nepotism, bub. Also, Daniel Perry.
