"When Trump plucked Katie Zacharia from obscurity & appointed her as his new press sec, he called her 'an attorney.' This is also how Zacharia describes herself. But Popular Information searched for evidence in all 50 states, plus DC, that she was admitted to practice law anywhere — & found none."

Trump’s new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, claims she’s a lawyer. Is she?
There is no evidence Zacharia has ever been licensed to practice law — and the White House did not provide any

Donald Trump has time for golf, endlessly tweeting AI slop, talking about his stupid ballroom, and defaming people, but he has no time to fulfill a legal obligation in a lawsuit he initiated? The BBC's lawyers should ask the court to sanction this lying coward.

Abandoning Ukraine will be a stain on the United States for the rest of time
Screenshot of a statement by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reporting a Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv targeting critical energy infrastructure, including the CHPP-4 power plant. Zelenskyy says a residential building was also damaged and caught fire, warns of further Russian missile attacks, and criticizes the lack of advance warnings from Ukraine’s partners. An accompanying nighttime photo shows flames engulfing part of a multistory residential building, with debris scattered across the ground.

Genuinely surprised that Trump didn't do public auditions for press secretary, trotting a different one out every day and running a contest on Truth Social to pick a winner. The old man is losing his reality TV mojo.

A lawyer is someone who graduated law school, i.e. holds a JD degree. An attorney has also passed the bar exam and is licensed. So all attorneys are lawyers; not all lawyers are attorneys. An unlicensed lawyer may work in legal research, corporate compliance, etc. but may not represent you in court.

just a casual reminder that inciting violence against his political opponents and others he dislikes has been a core feature of Donald Trump's approach for more than a decade. It is a defining characteristic of Trump and his movement, but rarely centered as such by corporate media.

I realize that, for most people it's semantics, but is it possible that she graduated Pepperdine's law school and therefore can claim to be a lawyer - but did not pass the bar, so cannot claim to be an attorney? Either way, she comes into the job with zero credibility and will sink from there.

Dear Department of Justice, Now do Elon Musk. Search his properties. Scrutinize his finances. Examine every allegation with the same enthusiasm you reserve for the president’s political enemies. Or spare us the fucking theater of pretending this country still has equal justice under the law.
