Yep: getting dizzy reversing myself. "California law is crystal clear: You can't hold yourself out as a lawyer unless you're authorized to practice law…You don't have to set foot in a courtroom or represent a single client to run afoul of the statute." www.cbsnews.com/news/white-h...

I stand corrected: A person with a JD can call themselves a lawyer but must pass the Bar and be licensed to practice law to use the title attorney at law. IOW, all attorneys are lawyers but not all lawyers are attorneys.

Valentina Tereshkova is now 89 and a politician. At age 26, she was an engineer, cosmonaut & the first (and last) woman to fly solo in space. “A bird cannot fly with one wing only. Human space flight cannot develop any further without the active participation of women.” #Space #Astronomy #Science

No, one may have earned a JD, but to call oneself a lawyer, one must be licensed to practice law.

“At 88, Waters would be the oldest House Financial Services chair ever if control of the chamber flips.” Enough already. The elderly ought to retire gracefully, not hang on til their dying breaths. The average age of members of the House, both parties, is ~58. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Chances are slim of overriding vetoes in both Houses but that’s not a reason not to try. Such issues are grand opportunities to paint Repugs with the trump brush for another 2 years.

No point in acknowledging her existence. If the new Congress wasn't going to be up to its eyeballs in corruption investigations, maybe they'd be able to investigate this poorly attempted strong-arming attempt.

Graduated law school (Pepperdine) but never passed the Bar. “Her professional biographies and profiles have previously described her as a lawyer or corporate legal professional.” Fraud. How unsurprising.

Better start the amendment process soon as it will take a decade to reach the states for a vote. Then it probably won't pass since the lesser populated states, mostly red, wouldn’t support it. Would take only 13 states to sink it.

As this sexual assault from 2024 came to light only recently, it seems likely that it wasn’t the first instance. How many other sexual assaults occurred previously to this or in the interim while this went uninvestigated and what were the PD’s responses? #Cornell www.nytimes.com/2026/10/13/n...
