Miles Davis’s Time After Time just popped on my shuffle. It always makes me teary. We saw him at Roseland Theatre in #Portland. And it was a spiritual experience.

I was fortunate to take vacation in Greece. We visited with locals and also met many other travelers from other countries. (Fewer Amercians, interestingly.) In any extended conversations with people from other countries, we invariably hit “the situation” with TFG. 1/4

The only thing any Dem leader should discuss with Kushner: 1. Disgorging the profits the family criminal enterprise took; 2. Am25 removal of TFG; and 3. The terms of surrender.

Opinion: Corporations are increasingly arguing that alleged consumer protection law violations should go unpunished if plaintiffs can't prove a specific, concrete harm beyond the statutory violation.

One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.

On our quick visit to D.C., we did the disaster tour: the idiotically damaged reflecting pool, the crane over the demolished East Wing, shut-down Lafayette Park — all behind fencing intended to obscure our view of Trump’s many follies and failures.

The attack on Dr. Fauci and COVID vaccines are ahistorical. Here is an anecdote about vaccine efficacy. During the pandemic, I served as lead counsel in a civil rights class action for people incarcerated in Oregon prisons. We sought to protect incarcerated adults from COVID. 1/

I made it to the Obama presidential library today. It’s joyful place filled with bright, loving people. It was thrilling to relive the time of hope. But it was dispiriting to think about what we’ve lost. That said, I left feeling inspired and know that all is not lost.

I wonder how “Fauci Takes the 5th” is landing with non-lawyers, specifically those who are non MAGA? Does it mean anything, or is it met with a shrug?

I never thought much of the “don’t speak ill of the dead” thing. And if you did and today’s news doesn’t change that, you might want to take some time to reflect on what you are protecting.

A surprising number of “random screenings” at PDX TSA security this afternoon. There was a line of people randomly selected for electronic device heightened screening. My phone screen was quick, but the laptop was a bit slower. In a past era, I would’ve shrugged. But that was then.

Far right Oregon gubernatorial candidate Christine Drazen called our COVID-19 prison class action a “weak lawsuit.” I’m sure she’s read more than 90 depositions, a million pages of discovery, and 600+ federal court filings to arrive at her genius take. Nothing compares to MAGA ignorance.
