FROM LEGAL HERO, MARC ELIAS:

"Brad Karp, the disgraced leader of Paul Weiss [legal firm], had sent an internal email justifying his firm’s capitulation [to Trump]. The letter is as pathetic as it is poorly written. But one line, in particular, caught my attention:

“But no one in the wider world can appreciate how stressful it is to confront an executive order like this until one is directed at you.”

To which I respond: Fuck you, you coward."

@heidilifeldman #DemocracyDocket and #HighCountryNews both look interesting - thanks!

I try to tune out the noise that these revolutionary rulers are producing by reading about the USA only on one day every week. This new reality is difficult enough to digest, and I can't handle that more often without losing hope (which is what they want to achieve).

My assumption is this propaganda shock-wave won't last forever, just like propaganda took a break for a few short years after the 1st WW.

Signs of Hope…
“…the GOP wants to portray Trump as an all-powerful president imposing his will on a fearful and dispirited govt.…

“However,…[t]he reality is that govt workers are standing up. And he is losing most of the lawsuits challenging his illegal actions. Plaintiffs, their lawyers & federal judges are not backing down. Instead, they are upholding the rule of law.”—#MarcElias, #democracydocket members’ email, 03/01/25

“This flood the zone approach….has made it impossible to also pay attn to the devpts that…are part of a longer range plan to undermine free & fair elections….

“Democracy Forward filed a motion Wed to seek limited, expedited discovery in its lawsuit to block Department of Govt Efficiency (DOGE) access to sensitive Dept of Labor info.

“Should the court grant the motion, it would be the first lawsuit against DOGE where the plaintiffs are able to obtain evidence, albeit limited, on how Elon Musk’s faux agency is operating within the federal govt.”

#Trump wants “to restructure & restaff the fed govt so that it is loyal to him & him alone. This requires breaking systems that worked.…

“Next, he must discredit the 2 remaining institutions that impose accountability on his actions. 1st, he needs to undermine judicial independence & respect for court orders. 2nd, he must destroy the integrity of elections & allow him the power to declare who won and who lost.”

@GottaLaff

As says 15 times a day, ⭕ everybody knows is NOT looking to find and eliminate redundancies and inefficiencies, why fire the people who are tasked to do this job

Why not use _real_ investigation specialists and not (upto now) 100 young programers to dig into all department records

The real goal is to reset the system and the departments with directors and staff with yesmen to Trump

Chair of Board That Protects Rights of Federal Workers Sues Trump for Illegally Firing Her By Courtney Cohn February 12, 2025 Cathy Harris, the chair of a board protecting government workers from unfair employment practices, sued President Donald Trump’s administration Wednesday for illegally firing her
In 2022, Harris was appointed by former President Joe Biden and confirmed by the Senate to serve a seven-year term on the U.S. Merits Systems Protection Board (MSPB). She became chair of the board last year The MSPB is an independent, quasi-judicial agency that hears appeals from federal employees reporting prohibited personnel practices, including politically motivated firings and reprisal for whistleblowers The Civil Service Reform Act (CRSA) of 1978 states that board members can be removed by the president “only for inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office,” emphasizing the importance of the board’s “independent decisionmaking" In her lawsuit, Harris said Trump “disregarded that clear statutory language.” She received a Feb. 10 email that said “On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position on the Merit Systems Protection Board is terminated, effective immediately"
She argued that the “one-sentence email does not allege any inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office…nor is there any basis for such an allegation" Harris also noted that “the constitutionality of that protection [for MSPB members] is dictated by nearly a century of binding Supreme Court precedent upholding materially identical restrictions" With Trump firing government workers at an unprecedented rate, like FBI officials, inspectors general in numerous agencies, a National Labor Relations Board member and the Special Counsel, the “MSPB’s ability to protect the civil service is needed now more than ever,” Harris said in the lawsuit She argued the Trump administration violated the CRSA, the Administrative Procedure Act and separation of powers clauses in the U.S. Constitution. Harris asked the U.S. District Court for Washington, D.C. to declare that her termination was unlawful and that she is a member of the MSPB
