So great to host youth from @KokuaKalihi and visit with @RonWyden on the court! Next time maybe we can get @brianschatz to join us for a foul shot contest!
Great after last night's Trail Blazers home win here in #RipCity to meet these standout kids from Hawaii. They're in Portland to get YouthLine training from our local heroes at @Lines_for_Life so they can go home & help young Hawaiians facing mental health challenges.

The Secretary of State grinning in a picture with an actual domestic terrorist no longer shocks, but it should.
With @SecRubio at the Shield of the Americas summit. By far the President Trumps choices for his cabinet. Proud of this Cuban! Abajo con el comunismo! 🇨🇺 #SOSCuba

I've been reporting in East Africa on the impact of President Trump's USAID cuts, and I find that not only are children dying in large numbers but the pace is accelerating as stockpiles run out and people grow weaker. I also obtained an internal Trump administration memo stating that the cost of shutting down USAID is $6.4 billion over two years. That sum could save more than 1 million children's lives; instead, it is being spent to to shut down programs that save lives. Help spread the word. nytimes.com/2025/09/20/opini…

So it turns out the intellectual force behind the Trump Tariff plan — the one who knits together economic growth, tariffs, deficits and yes, even the attack on DEI, is none other than….. Liz Truss! 1/2 washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Who's Liz Truss, you ask? Well she was British PM for about ten minutes, lasted less time than a head of lettuce sitting on a shelf before the Brits realized she was driving their economy into the ground... bbc.com/news/uk-politics-633… 2/2

Impossible to overstate the power of Judge Howellʻs rebuke of the Big Law Capitulators in her opinion nullifying the Exec Order that attacked @PerkinsCoieLLP. Judge Howell in essence said two things: 1/4

2) To all you clients out there, do you really want a law firm that tuns tail and runs? She specifically cited the lawyerʻs ethical duty to zealously represent a client, and suggested uncertainty as to whether a firm that capitulated could be trusted to deliver. 3/4

That smackdown will be enshrined in law books called FSupp - the beige books you see on TV & film in any lawyerʻs office. Next time you see Law&Order, you will see those books and know that inside is a huge smackdown of @PaulWeissLLP @SkaddenArps @WeilGotshal - the Capitulators.

HIGH ALERT FOR DC LAWYERS: Trump/Pam Bondi loyalists are currently making a bid to take over the DC Bar: Her brother is running for President and Alicia Long (who I believe is US Attorney Ed Martin's chief deputy right now) is running for Treasurer. DC Bar member? VOTE! On line
