Hard not to notice that Democrats who are doing the best are the ones who are leaving this whole civility-and-norms, we-go-high, we-need-a-strong-Republican-Party bullshit behind and are simply giving Republicans exactly what they all ought to get at all times, which is undisguised contempt.

"Several legal ethics experts said that if a person is not a licensed lawyer but is identifying as one, that presents serious ethical and legal problems.

“A J.D. degree does not make you a lawyer,” said Stephen Gillers, a professor at New York University School of Law.

Ukraine spent 5 years developing their defense from Russia around Starlink, and last night, Musk cut it off to help Putin.

The halls of power in Europe need to understand that Musk, Trump and Putin aim for total dissolution of democracy, and the primary target is Europe. @jayinkyiv.bsky.social

Non-zero chance Elon cut Starlink on his own bc the last thing the Masters of the Universe need is for people to understand data centers can be bombed.

Trump, Witkoff, Kushner, musk, are doing everything to help terrorist Russia murder Ukrainians. Siding with terrorists, restricting Starlink on top of funding genocide. This is beyond outrageous

WOW. Kristi Noem and Elon Musk, among others, "chose to turn the power of the federal government against a singular employee with an impeccable record of public service. ... The attacks against Ms. Comans were based entirely on false information" and many officials "knew [they] were untrue."

In conducting this hearing, the Court is not called upon to resolve factual disputes between the parties. The facts set forth in this Memorandum Opinion and Order were proposed by the Plaintiff, unobjected to by the Government, and then deemed admitted by the Court. Dkts. 74, 75, 77.2 These facts establish that high-ranking government officials, including then Secretary of DHS Kristi Noem and Elon Musk, engaged in a coordinated public relations campaign to impugn the personal and professional integrity of Ms. Comans. For reasons unfathomable to this Court, officials chose to turn the power of the federal government against a singular employee with an impeccable record of public service. In short, Ms. Comans was professionally targeted and personally attacked by government officials for no legitimate reason. The attacks against Ms. Comans were based entirely on false information, and many government officials knew the accusations were untrue at the time they were made. With no regard for the truth and with no consideration for the personal and professional effect on Ms. Comans, government officials exploited their access to mass media outlets to broadcast false information. These false statements reached hundreds of millions of people. The purpose of this Order is, to the best of this Court’s ability, to correct the public record and establish as a matter of law that the statements made by these officials about Ms. Comans were objectively and demonstrably false.
