I defend people. Lawyer/DC resident/Nats + Ravens fan/blogger on white collar criminal defense stuff. My kids think I’m weird. #StatehoodNow kmlawfirm.com
This is low on the list of things to be mad about … but it’s enraging to hear them talk about DC like it was a cesspool 18 months ago. It is a lovely city to live in, and I’m so happy we raised our kids here. And FWIW I’ve been walking around DC “after sunset” since I moved here in 1991.
Aaron RuparBlanche credits Pirro with transforming DC "into a place that we can all now walk around in after sunset" 😆
Heartbreaking and beautiful.

He was the speaker at my son’s USC graduation in May and he is truly filled with joy.

Me when I won’t stand up for God Bless America in the middle of a baseball game. It’s not the national anthem! Why are you standing up and taking off your hat? I am confused.
DexertoA Norway fan has gone viral for not taking part in their Row celebration after matches and won't do it if they win the World Cup "It’s factually wrong; they didn’t row, they sailed over the Atlantic”
If I were representing Dave Hearn, I would ask the court for leave to inspect (or have an expert inspect) the “crime scene” - the bottom of the Reflecting Pool. If the judge granted that motion, I would guess the govt would dismiss the charges asap.
Aaron RuparSTEPHANOPOULOS: Trump has repeatedly claimed vandals cut a 350 foot gash. That claim is echoed in a legal filing by your department. What evidence do you have? BURGUM: Ah, well we have the actual cuts that were made S: There's a 350 foot gash? B: Well it's multiple gashes that add up to 350 feet
For those of you complaining about the Swift-Kelce shutdown of a few blocks …. And he didn’t even donate to charity!

I love this so much.
The Washington PostTori Penso, Brooke Mayo and Kathryn Nesbitt will be the first all-American, all-women officiating crew at this year’s World Cup. All three were chosen to officiate at the 2024 Olympics and have been members of the FIFA officiating panel for years. https://wapo.st/4uKJ564
If I had a dollar for every client who said, “I didn’t have anything to hide” or “I just wanted to help” after they talked to the feds and dig a massive whole for themselves….

Ah, “instinctive” evidence. Much better than silly old-fashioned hard evidence.
Aaron RuparRAJU: But what evidence is there to prove the California election is rigged? MIKE JOHNSON: Look, some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream it's impossible to prove. But I think everybody knows instinctively that something is wrong here.
I love this. Too often when people think of “DC,” all they imagine is division. But this is a beautiful and united city that is filled with incredible people.
Chris GeidnerI waited to visit the fountain at Malcolm X Park until I felt like it was a moment when I could truly appreciate it. Publishing at 5p today, on a rare day when the court voted against death and racism, made a sunset visit feel right. It was right. I love this city and our people with all my heart.
Oh I cannot wait to see Trump’s head explode. Many congrats to Jasmine Clark! Science FTW.
