I know it’s frustrating to “wait” days for #Impeachment when Trump is so unhinged. FAR faster to arrest him for felony murder - but the US House is not the US Attorney and House Rules say “fast track” a bill to Floor vote in 2 legislative days. Til then, #25thAmendment!
5 days feel like an eternity especially while traumatized by the deadly #CapitolRiots Trump incited. After he’s shredded our Constitution, it’s excruciating to wait while he hurts more people. But #impeachment is worth it - we can MOVE ON by making sure he can’t run again.
I remember being a prosecutor and people would “pull time” per CA’s Speedy Trial Law - demand a jury trial in 10 days. It felt achingly slow; when you charge a case you want to try it day one at arraignment. But due process for ALL is our system. Hang tight. 5 days. #impeachment
And really everyone who knows a republican or Trump supporter or media figure can help by pushing them to let Trump know he’s got to pay the price for deadly incitement. Those #CapitolRiots are high crimes. No excuses. We will heal when we have justice. //

Outrageous that Janet Yellen was paid for these speeches ... at lower rates than her male counterparts. Get on that investigation, Sam! #FairPay
I see from the responses that some of you miss sarcasm and others think a paid speech is de facto “corruption” ... shouldn’t we ask for the Yellen transcripts first? Maybe see what she said? Would any facts matter? Where are the guidelines for a donor or sponsor? Discuss!
Well I’m back from zoom yoga and read your responses. 3 Qs (so far) 1-who are sponsors (same with corp, people, media who fund podcasters and pundits)? 2-what is speech content? 3-does $/access change content/ behavior + what role do ethics lawyers play in such an instance? also-

Good! As many of us have long argued, Senators have state committees to vet candidates for judgeships. Making those panels more diverse - and making their lists more representative of the legal community, including public interest lawyers. Quick story ... thehill.com/regulation/cou…
When I was a new lawyer in the SF City Attorney’s Office, we would have a short daily staff meeting. We called it the “LA Law Meeting” after a popular TV show starring Corbin Bernsen, JimmySmits, Susan Dey etc. We would go over cases lawyers and judges to see who knew whom ...
and many more tones than not, the opposing counsel or judge was an old white man. 1990s SF Law was still Pale Stale & Male. So the attorneys would often say to me “these guys are tough on women - they treat women like daughters or exes - so play on that and be the daughter” ...

#STIMULUSPACKAGE negotiations update: “Dear Democratic Colleague” letter from @SpeakerPelosi outlines key Trump shortcomings that actively harm the American people; vows to pass relief. 🧵
#STIMULUSPACKAGE: “the Trump Administration’s latest offer shortchanges state and local governments that provide most services Americans depend on.” @AppropsDems Chair Nita Lowey appropriations.house.gov/news/press-rel…
TRUMP “refuses to put a national testing, tracing and surveillance plan in place ... delays funding to states ... does nothing to address barriers and needs of communities of color that have been disproportionately impacted by #COVID19.” -@FrankPallone energycommerce.house.gov/newsroom/press…

The key word in the California law allowing people to drop off their ballots at official drop boxes is “OFFICIAL” — not the unofficial (and hence unlawful) ballot boxes placed by the California Republican Party.

A thread: nytimes.com/2020/10/12/us/…
California passed and Jerry Brown signed a law providing for official, designated, (ADA) accessible ballot drop boxes. The regs are quite clear. See the sos.ca.gov website: Vote-by-Mail Ballot Drop Boxes and Vote-by-Mail Drop-Off Locations sos.ca.gov/administration…
See “CA Code of Regulations Title 2. Administration Division 7. Secretary of State
Chapter 3. Voting Locations
Article 1. Vote-by-Mail Ballot Drop Boxes and Vote-by-Mail Drop-Off Locations Sec 20132. Drop Box Design and Requirements” sos.ca.gov/administration…

Let’s have some real talk about #ReopeningSchools. My view is from being a proud #publicschool mom + class volunteer for art, library, pumpkin fest, school spirit merch sales + field trips over the last 6 years. Cannnot imagine ANY of these activities being coronavirus safe. 1/?
What happens in a k-5 #publicschool classroom? Well you have the day begin with all the kids together on a rug - each criss-cross applesauce on their own designated square. Are YOU going to put 25 kids on a rug together anytime soon? 2/?
Wait you might cram the kids on the rug? OK then - let’s say a couple of them have hair lice. 🐛

The teacher will send them home. To come back, the kids need lice testing, treatment, and a clearance note. The whole class + teacher need testing (+ treatments if infected) 3/?
