It's shocking this is not shocking: "The UK’s largest private-sector employer is offering up to three days of paid leave which can be taken flexibly for activities such as attending court hearings, arranging emergency accommodation, changing locks, securing childcare or separating finances."

Domestic abuse is so widespread an issue that a major employer is incorporating employees' need to deal with it into their employee benefits. Union rep: "said domestic violence and abuse affected the lives of at least one in five women, and he urged other employers to introduce similar support."

💯 the internet boom was wildly popular because it came with a job market boom, it was exciting, good for the average person and contributed to inflation going down not up. In so many ways the AI boom is the inverse of the late 90s not a repeat

I think it EXCEEDINGLY likely Perry will have evidence that they not just blew off her orders, but did criminal stuff. And DOJ will then say, you can't hold me in contempt. Boutros has already invoked Trump v. US, so will likely say he followed an immunized order.

An interesting paper given that Judge Perry just named Baude as amicus in the Broadview 6 case to write what I fully expect to be an argument about whether judges are helpless when DOJ breaks the law.
