“#Uber has perfected a system of algorithmic pricing that allows it to dangle just enough money in front of drivers to maximize their number on the road, irrespective of how many riders are looking for cars. The fact that they have all the information (while drivers have none) allows them to […]

This via @lolgop and is still being added to. I'd boost this a million times if I could: If you don't think the media can at least try to destroy your image for being a fascist, look at what they did when they discovered that an 81-year-old is old. Or that a woman used home email at work. Or […]

When lawyers first started getting yelled at by judges for citing hallucinated case law two years ago I naively assumed word would get around and they would all quickly learn not to This new database has 116 cases from 12 countries where this happened, and 20 of them were from just this month! […]

This thread reminds me of something the Cato Institute's executive vice president David Boaz once said to me, as he watched, with great sadness, so many in his libertarian movement get on board with Trump: "It turns out they hate the left more than they love liberty."

#Moodys downgraded the #credit rating of the #UnitedStates, saying that it did not expect that the #Republicans fiscal agenda would meaningfully improve the country’s fiscal outlook. The rating went from the highest, Aaa, to the second highest, Aa1. Moody’s downgrade means that NONE of the 3 […]

Via Mark Joseph Stern: ✅Clean holding that #Trump violated due process ✅Classwide relief for targeted migrants ✅Bristling skepticism that this administration can be trusted to keep its word ✅Frustration that the conservative lower courts failed to intervene Yes, this ruling is a big deal. #SCOTUS

Read resignation letter from #SDNY prosecutors asked to admit ‘wrongdoing’ “We will not confess wrongdoing when there was none,” wrote prosecutors involved in the bribery case against New York Mayor #EricAdams. “We resign.” #law #DOJ #Justice #Trump #corruption #QuidProQuo

The Department placed each of us on administrative leave ostensibly to review our, & the SDNY US Attorney's Office's, handling of the Adams case. It is now clear that one of the preconditions you have placed on our returning to the Office is that we must express regret & admit some wrongdoing by the Office in connection w/the refusal to move to dismiss the case. We will not confess wrongdoing when there was none. …a prosecutor must abide by the oath to uphold the Constitution & laws of the United States & the rules of professional ethics set by the bar & the courts. The Dept has long understood that these duties can & should coexist w/the need to follow Dept policies & orders. This is to the benefit of all: the courts, defendants, & the public, who can have confidence in the good faith & judgment of line prosecutors; the Dept, which retains credibility while still receiving zealous advocacy from its lawyers; & the prosecutors themselves, who can stand in court confident that they are ethically carrying out their duties. Now, the Dept has decided that obedience supersedes all else, requiring us to abdicate our legal & ethical obligations in favor of directions from Washington. That is wrong. Serving in the SDNY has been an honor. There is no greater privilege than to work for an institution whose mandate is to do the right thing, the right way, for the right reasons. We will not abandon this principle to keep our jobs. We resign.

A pathetic and humiliating walkback from the would-be destroyers of CFPB, who know they've lost in court and can't kill the agency. This email from Mark Paoletta went to employees today. It neglects Vought's Feb 10 "stop-work" email that superseded it, ending all activity with no exceptions.

On behalf of Acting Director Vought, I am writing to you to ensure that everyone is carrying out any statutorily required work, as he set forth in his February 8th email.
On February 8, 2025, you received an email from Acting Director Vought directing you to halt several classes of work unless "required by law" or expressly approved by the Acting Director. On February 10, 2025, you received an email from Acting Director Vought directing you to reach out to me for the authorization required by the February 8 email. These measures were intended to ensure that new leadership could establish operational control over the agency while ensuring that it would continue to fulfill its statutory duties...

Many of you understood this and continued to perform functions required by law and sought approval from me to perform work, which I have promptly granted.
It has come to my attention, however, that some employees have not been performing statutorily required work. Let me be clear: Employees should be performing work that is required by law and do not need to seek prior approval to do so. If you have any questions, please reach out to me immediately, and I will promptly give you an answer and authorization if warranted. If you are aware of other employees that are needed to assist you in performing a statutorily required task but are not doing so, please raise this with me immediately.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Mark Paoletta
Chief Legal Officer
CFPB
