Former Federal Judge Luttig: There is no other network in America that I would rather appear on than the MeidasTouch and Legal AF in particular. For one reason but the biggest reason of all, which is, I trust you as everyone else can.

Unsolicited advice for academics: every time you agree to do something, immediately make a note of it in a single text file. Updating a CV takes time and therefore isn't something we do often, but it's easy to forget everything you've done. Making a quick note makes it easy to update your CV later.

A Senate committee is holding a bogus hearing today based on junk science about the abortion pill mifepristone, a safe and effective medication that's the most common form of abortion.
This hearing isn't about science — it's about laying the groundwork for banning medication abortion nationwide.

This is how it's done, folks!! (Former Philadelphian, here):
Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE:
"No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested".
"Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".
