"#PINO's efforts to not just punish law firms he does not like, but also the clients that do business with those firms, are flat out unconstitutional.
If law firms fight back against Trump’s attacks, they’ll win"
Be like WilmerHale, Jenner & Block & Keker, Van Nest & Peters
All firms must file Amicus Briefs

Bravo to Keker, Van Nes

MSNBC · Law firms should demand Trump defend his unconstitutional attacks in court — because they’ll winBy Ray Brescia

OBITUARY for March 12, 2025
House GOP has given ALL it's power to #PINO
"Trump expanded powers to raise taxes on American households through tariffs
GOP has ceded their role of the "Power of the Purse"
FACISTS REJOICE
Make every GOP own the economic consequences"
-Reps Susan DelBene & Don Beyer

Came across a new acronym today PINO, President in Name Only.

Basically, instead of being referred to as POTUS, Trump should properly be referred to as PINO, since it is obvious that Elon Musk is actually the one in charge of the US government.

Theoretically, the Legislative and Judicial branches would offer checks & balances, but the #Republicans who control those branches have abdicated their responsibilities, and forsworn their oaths of office.

"Every day we are reminded of the oligarchy that runs America. On Wednesday, we saw not one--but two glaring examples.

First was Elon Musk—the wealthiest person in the world and Donald Trump’s top donor--speaking at Trump’s first cabinet meeting even though he is not a member of the cabinet."

The Dean's Report by Dean Obeidallah · Musk and Bezos again remind us oligarchs control the US-when will the people take back the power?!By Dean Obeidallah
Continued thread

"Katherine Doyle of NBC News described 'Senate-confirmed department heads spending an hour as audience members.'

A photograph of the meeting in which Musk, wearing a Make America Great Again ball cap and a T-shirt that said 'Tech Support,' appears to be holding court while Trump appears to be sleeping reinforced the idea that it is Musk rather than Trump who is running the government."

"Musk appeared to be in charge of the first Cabinet meeting of the Trump administration today. As Kevin Liptak and Jeff Zeleny of CNN reported: 'If anyone was still in doubt where the power lies in President Donald Trump’s new administration, Wednesday’s first Cabinet meeting made clear it wasn’t in the actual Cabinet.'"
