America was not founded on faith in God—it was founded on a godless Constitution that draws power from the people. U.S. foreign policy should defend human rights, not elevate one religion above all others. Propping up Christianity isn’t patriotism—it’s theocracy.

Do you think this public statement is consistent with DOJ norms and your ethical duties as a member of the bar? Looking forward to your response!

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment. One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

NBC News is being kicked out of its space in the Pentagon and replaced by OANN.
MEMORANDUM FOR THE PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION
SUBJECT: New Annual Media Rotation Program for Pentagon Press Corps
For over a half-century, the Pentagon Press Corps has benefited from working out of individual office spaces that provide coveted and open access to some of the Department's top military and civilian leaders.
Known as the Correspondents' Corridor, this office space loaned to media outlets by the
Secretary of Defense stands as a tribute to the importance the Department has long placed on informing the public about the U.S. military and all it does to project peace through strength. It also honors the many correspondents who put their lives on the line, and in many cases died, while covering our finest in battle.
In order to broaden access to the limited space of the Correspondents' Corridor to outlets
that have not previously enjoyed the privilege and journalistic value of working from physical office space in the Pentagon, beginning February 14, 2025, the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs will implement a new Annual Media Rotation Program for those dedicated media spaces.
Each year, one outlet from each press medium - print, online, television and radio - that
has enjoyed working from a physical office in the Pentagon will rotate out of the building to allow a new outlet from the same medium that has not had the unique opportunity to report as a resident member of the Pentagon Press Corps.
This year, the following news outlets will begin their rotation by vacating their physical
office space effective Friday, February 14, 2025:
Print - The New York Times
TV - NBC News
Radio - National Public Radio
Online News - POLITICO
In their place, the following outlets from each medium will be invited to move into the
Correspondents' Corridor workspaces formerly occupied by the above four outlets.
Print - New York Post
TV - One America News Network
Radio - Breitbart News Network
Online News - HuffPost News (aka The Huffington Post)To be clear, the outlets that vacate the spaces loaned to them by the Secretary will remain as full members of the Pentagon Press Corps. They will continue to enjoy the same media access to the Pentagon and will be able to attend and cover briefings and be considered for travel with civilian and military leaders in the Department as they have previously.
The only change will be giving up their physical workspaces in the building to allow new
outlets to have their turn to become resident members of the Pentagon Press Corps.
Thank you in advance for participating in the Pentagon Press Corps Annual Media
Rotation Program. By turning over the office space loaned to you by the Secretary, you will ensure that new outlets will have the same opportunity you have enjoyed covering our nation's finest up close from office spaces inside the walls of the Pentagon.

Lee Atwater had a pungent and famous quote about how once conservatives could no longer use the n-word they used things like “states’ rights” to invoke the same spirit. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration any more — if it ever was — to say they use DEI as the n-word.
