New: New wave of terminations today at FDA. People arrived this morning and found out while waiting in line to go through security that they no longer worked there. A common pattern with DOGE: planning to maximize humiliation/disrespect.

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.

I could not be prouder of this Georgetown University Law Center student group. They were invited to an exclusive recruiting event with Skadden and withdrew because of Skadden’s preemptive capitulation to the Trump regime. Alanna, Caleb, and Carly were all students of mine.

Letter from the Georgetown Energy Law Group withdrawing from a Skadden recruiting event, and explaining the reason for the cancellation: Skadden promising the Trump regime to end its DEI programming and give $100 million in free legal services to Trump-approved causes.
