OA1134 - Mere hours after a literal pat on the back from Donald Trump on live TV, U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts delivered a 5-4 decision against him in the emergency litigation over Trump's unconstitutional efforts to eliminate foreign aid funding. How much of a win was this really, and why did Samuel Alito spend eight pages in dissent pretending to be “stunned” by the majority's radical assertion that the federal government should pay out debts incurred by valid acts of Congress? We then turn to a less-noticed recent Supreme Court decision with concerning implications for the future of civil rights litigation before appreciating recent Congressional wins: blue city mayors schooling the House Oversight Committee without ever giving up even a  single point in six hours, and Senate Democrats taking a meaningful united stand for trans lives.

 In this case, the court considered this issue: Is a party who obtains a preliminary injunction a “prevailing party” for purposes of being entitled to attorney's fees under 42 U-S-C § 1988?The case was decided on February 25, 2025.The Supreme Court held that a party that receives a preliminary injunction but does not obtain a final judgment on the merits before a case becomes moot is not a "prevailing party" eligible for attorney's fees under 42 U-S-C §1988(b). Chief Justice John Roberts authored the 7-2 majority opinion of the Court.The term “prevailing party” in §1988(b) refers to a party who obtains enduring judicial relief that conclusively resolves their claim on the merits. Preliminary injunctions do not qualify because they merely preserve the status quo temporarily while predicting likelihood of success—they do not conclusively determine rights. Importantly, a “prevailing party” traditionally means one who "successfully prosecutes the action" or "successfully maintains" their claim "at the end" of proceedings, not one who achieves temporary success at intermediate stages.External events that render a case moot do not transform a preliminary injunction into the kind of judicial success that warrants attorney's fees. For a party to “prevail” under §1988(b), both the change in legal relationship between parties and the permanence of that change must result from judicial order, not from outside circumstances.Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson authored a dissenting opinion, in which Justice Sonia Sotomayor joined.The opinion is presented here in its entirety, but with citations omitted.

Dcn. Garlick, Dr. Frank Grabowski, and Thomas Lackey are reunited to discuss the first part of Agamemnon, the first play in Aeschylus' Oresteia. Check out thegreatbookspodcast.com for more information.From our written guide available to our supporters:The first play of the Oresteia tells of the homecoming of Agamemnon and is predominately animated by revenge. Aeschylus presents us with questions concerning the legitimacy of the Trojan war, how Argos has suffered without its king, and why Clytemnestra has plotted to murder her husband. Though chronologically Odysseus has not return home yet, one should compare this text to the Odyssey and Odysseus' own homecoming – written almost three hundred years prior by Homer. Aeschylus draws heavily from Homer but changes small but significant details, which creates a narrative that presents a profound lesson on the weaknesses of lex talionis as enacted by the blood avenger model. Throughout Agamemnon and into Libation Bearers, we are invited to consider whether a new model of justice is needed.I. The Opening: Unease and Gender Inversions (1)The play begins with an invocation to the gods, as will the following two plays. Through the watchman, Aeschylus communicates the time and setting to his audience in a manner typical of Greek drama. The watchman's opening monologue conveys a disquieting mood of fear and quiet dread. As observed, Lackey describes the opening as “a little eerie and a little bit off.” Notably, the watchman yearns for the return of Agamemnon, his king, and we note the king's absence has left the kingdom, Argos, in suffering (24, 37). One thinks here of the suffering of Ithaca without Odysseus in the Odyssey. The opening passages invites us to ask: “What has life been like in Argos over the past decade during the king's absence?” and “What is the effect of the empty throne of Argos upon its people?” From the outset, Aeschylus will play with gender roles and descriptions. Notice Clytemnestra, Agamemnon's wife, “maneuvers like a man” (13), while Agamemnon himself will be presented as effeminate. This thematic inversion invites readers to examine Aeschylus' pedagogical purpose for such language. As Dr. Grabowski observes, the toying with gender traits parallels Shakespeare's Macbeth, wherein Lady Macbeth similarly exhibits masculine qualities of ambition and dominance. As the play progresses, readers gain insight into life in Argos during Agamemnon's ten-year absence. The people long for an end to their suffering, for “an end to their pain” (23). Notably, Aeschylus allows us to see how Argos viewed the Trojan war (44), which is largely presented, at first, as a just war in which Agamemnon was the “great avenger” of Zeus punishing Troy for its violation of guest-friendship (45), i.e., Prince Paris absconding with Menelaus' wife, Helen. The reader should note whether Agamemnon's return starts to adjust this narrative....Check out our whole guide on the Oresteia.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 80: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump’s chief thug wants to put Rachel Maddow in prison. Steve Bannon: “I need investigations, trials and then incarceration… Andrew Weissmann on MSNBC and Rachel Maddow and all of them." Oh and just so we are clear on this: YOU are next. Or close to it. Trump is this close to suing YOU for writing mean tweets about him. Or for not voting for him. Or, if your name is Anne Selzer, for putting out a Des Moines Register election poll that didn’t favor him. Emboldened by such pathetic self-prostituting excuses for American leadership as Jeff Bezos, Patrick Soon-Shiong, Joe Scarborough -- and Bob Iger and all the snatch-defeat-from-the-jaws-of-victory cowards at Disney and ABC News -- Trump has now lost any remaining sense that anybody is even going to try to stop him. It is hard to point at a crazy man and say he’s now lost it, but… he’s now lost it. You are next. Well, you’re probably behind me, and we’re both behind Maddow, and she’s behind Anne Selzer, but you know what I mean. So Bannon wants to lock up Maddow and others at MSNBC and their co-workers Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski scuttled to Mar-a-Lago to save their own worthless asses. Ten days ago the entertainment news site Variety asked me to write a piece for their year-in-review on what MSNBC should do now. The TL;dr was: double down because all the other progressive and neutral news organizations have fled in fear and left you the same kind of opportunity for monopoly that we had there in 2005. The audience will be back with you directly. Stay the course. Of course you have to fire Mr. and Mrs. Scarborough or you let them turn you into MSN-Vichy. I'll give you a longer version of what I did for the magazine. B-Block (32:07) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Trump's Tariffs Plan. It apparently never dawned on him it would draw retribution. Ontario's premier threatens to cut off the Canadian electricity that directly services 1.5 million Americans. A Democratic pollster says the campaign should've been food costs not democracy and never once gets near the actual answer: both. And the most recent GOP candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania can't tell the difference between a "downed drone" and a "toy movie prop headed for the next Comicon." C-Block (41:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: At 86, Ted Turner is in-and-out. At 43, when I worked for him, none of us would have bet on him still being in, at all. He was a crazy man and a danger to himself, and thank goodness he steered out of the skid. But the crazy version left me countless stories, like the time he nearly fired me over the cameraman's choice of hats, and I nearly responded by socking him.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Build your authority” feels like advice that's often given without a solution attached. And it's SO important to solopreneurs, especially since social media is no longer the best place to build a proper audience. That's why I sat down with Jessica Lackey, a business and operations strategist who's all about helping solopreneurs like us build real authority.  We talked all about what you actually need to do to build authority – from understanding who you're talking to, to the medium you use to get your message out. Top TakeawaysDevelop a Clear Premise, Process, and Body of Work: Building authority begins with a well-defined message and positioning (your premise), a unique approach to your work (your process), and a public body of work that showcases your thinking and differentiates you from others.Focus on Patterns and Behaviors Over Demographics: When identifying your niche or audience, prioritize the patterns, behaviors, and values of those you serve best, rather than just their demographic details. This leads to more meaningful connections and effective authority building.Create a Cohesive Body of Work Outside of Feed-Based Platforms: Relying solely on social media can be limiting due to its ephemeral nature. Building authority is more effective on platforms you own—like blogs, newsletters, or podcasts—where your content forms a cohesive and accessible body of work.Finally, pick the medium you're most comfortable with – or as Jessica puts it – pick the method for authority building that you'll actually use. Show NotesJessica Lackey Get 40% off Cloudways for Black Friday and Cyber Monday! Ready to get Unstuck?

Helping Clients Recruit & Certify Virtual Employees • Helping Clients Right Staff & Save Money • Strategic Staffing • Speaker & 4x Best Selling Author • Founder & CEO of HireSmart Virtual Employees & HireSmart Cares https://www.linkedin.com/in/annelackey   Quick recap Summary Hire Smart Virtual Employees Business Discussion Michael and Anne talked about Anne's business, Hire Smart Virtual Employees. The co-founder, Anne, explained that the company was born out of a need to solve labor problems for small to medium businesses. She and her husband, both serial entrepreneurs, identified a problem when a key employee unexpectedly quit during their vacation, prompting Anne to seek a more cost-effective and efficient way to hire staff. The conversation was organic and open-ended, with Michael guiding the discussion and Anne sharing her experiences and insights. Addressing Employee Departures and Workplace Culture Michael expressed his frustration over an employee's decision to leave the organization during his boss's first vacation in seven years. He emphasized that such actions can negatively impact the perception of workplace culture and the credibility of employees who genuinely experience toxic work environments. Michael also highlighted the importance of considering the timing of significant decisions, as they can significantly impact the organization's reputation and employee morale. Virtual Employee Service Benefits and Personalization Michael and Anne discussed the benefits of their virtual employee service, Hire Smart Virtual Employees. They highlighted the cost-effectiveness of hiring multiple virtual employees for the price of one US employee, allowing businesses to build a bench of talent. Anne emphasized the personalized approach of their service, recruiting the best talent for each client and ensuring their virtual employees embody the client's culture and values. She also noted that their service supports US workers, leading to a better work culture and reduced stress. Michael agreed, stating that their service solves a real problem for organizations by providing business continuity and allowing employees to take vacations without worrying about work getting done. Virtual Employees and Business Growth Strategies Anne and Michael discussed the benefits of hiring virtual employees for businesses, emphasizing the importance of creating a supportive work environment and reducing burnout. Anne shared her experience of having a long-term virtual employee and the positive impact on her business. They also discussed the importance of holistically building relationships and taking care of employees. Michael agreed, highlighting the need for companies to hire before they're ready and the value of having an "all-stars" team. They concluded by emphasizing the need for businesses to recognize their limitations and delegate tasks effectively to maintain productivity and growth. Remote Work Challenges and Productivity Strategies Michael and Anne discussed the challenges of remote work and management. Michael emphasized the importance of productivity and avoiding frustration by outsourcing tasks that others could do more efficiently. Anne agreed that remote workers should be treated similarly to in-office employees, with clear communication and expectations. She also highlighted the benefits of using technology for training and recording sessions and the importance of cultivating a communication culture in remote work environments. Managing Remote Staff and Onboarding Strategies Anne emphasized the importance of clear expectations and quantitative measures in managing remote staff. She suggested setting specific goals and tasks for each role can help self-select employees meet expectations or seek help. Anne also highlighted the significance of onboarding in retaining employees, citing a statistic that employees who receive proper onboarding are more likely to stay longer than a year. Michael shared a real-life example of a company's poor onboarding process leading to an employee's departure, further emphasizing the importance of effective onboarding and communication in employee retention. Investing in Employees for Organizational Success Michael and Anne discussed the importance of setting employees up for success, particularly in entrepreneurial settings. They emphasized the value of investing in people to achieve organizational goals and the need for diverse experiences and perspectives within a team. Anne offered to help CEOs identify tasks they should not be doing, suggesting they could be delegated to others to free up their time for more productive activities.

When is the best time to sell your business? According to Mac Lackey, it's never too early to prepare. Drawing from his six successful exits, Mac believes in the power of a strategic exit—selling based on unique value rather than financials. It's all about thinking ahead and identifying what makes your company special. Whether you sell in one year or five, being ready allows you to seize opportunities and maximize your business's worth.About Mac LackeyMac Lackey has been building and selling businesses for over 25 years. He's launched six companies across industries like tech, media, and apparel, with each one successfully exiting for seven or eight figures. Mac's entrepreneurial journey has been defined by smart decision-making, from launching his first web-based company during the early days of the internet to consistently recognizing market opportunities. Known for his knack for spotting early trends and creating strategic value, Mac helps other entrepreneurs prepare for lucrative exits through his program, ExitDNA, where he helps founders prepare for profitable exits.  Key Insights:Prepare for your exit early. Don't wait until you're ready to sell. Begin planning your exit as soon as possible by organizing finances, improving operations, and creating value.Sell when the market is right. Timing is crucial. Monitor market trends and industry shifts so you can sell at a time when your business is most valuable.Focus on product-market fit. Instead of worrying about building a massive company right away, focus on finding the right product-market fit. Once you get that right, you can grow faster.Tell a compelling story. Create a clear narrative that explains why your business is valuable. Tailor this story to appeal to potential buyers, highlighting benefits of your business.Stay curious and adaptable. Mac attributes his success to his intellectual curiosity and willingness to adapt. Ask questions about what's changing in the world, and be ready to pivot your business model or strategy as necessary.Mac's best advice for entrepreneurs:“The early exit is the easier exit.”Connect with Mac Lackey:WebsiteLinkedInInstagramXFollow Beyond 8 Figures:LinkedInXWebsite
