LSU basketball coach Kim Mulkey can't help be be irascible after a loss, this time sniping at a young reporter who asked about her team flaming out at the Elite Eight position two years in a row.TCU's Hailey Van Lith is leading her third team to the Elite Eight (she helped Louisville and LSU in previous years) and shares a profound response to hater comments.Actor Richard Chamberlain, God rest his soul, was unfortunately convince to sing pop songs after his TV career took off in the 1960s. Certainly a group of moochers thought it would be a good idea for "Dr. Kildare" to separate his fans from their money with badly produced records. Ouch.

This Day in Legal History:  Wong Kim Ark becomes Wong Kim ArkOn March 28, 1898, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a landmark decision in United States v. Wong Kim Ark, affirming that a child born in the United States to Chinese immigrant parents was a U.S. citizen by virtue of the Fourteenth Amendment. Wong Kim Ark was born in San Francisco in 1873 to Chinese nationals who were legally residing in the U.S. but ineligible for naturalization due to prevailing immigration laws. After a visit to China in 1895, he was denied re-entry on the grounds of the Chinese Exclusion Act, which severely restricted immigration from China and barred Chinese nationals from becoming citizens.The Court rejected the government's argument that children of Chinese immigrants were not subject to U.S. jurisdiction and thus not entitled to birthright citizenship. In a 6–2 decision, the Court held that the Fourteenth Amendment guaranteed citizenship to nearly all individuals born on U.S. soil, regardless of the nationality or immigration status of their parents. This decision established a major precedent for interpreting the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and reinforced the principle of jus soli, or right of the soil.The ruling came during a period of intense anti-Chinese sentiment, when the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and its extensions aimed to restrict Chinese immigration and civil rights. Wong Kim Ark was a significant rebuke to efforts that sought to limit the constitutional rights of U.S.-born children of immigrants, and it laid the foundation for future interpretations of birthright citizenship.The Senate's vote to repeal the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's $5 cap on overdraft fees is a clear signal: protecting bank profits matters more to Senate Republicans than shielding consumers from predatory financial practices. With a 52-48 vote, Republicans—joined by only one Democrat—moved to dismantle a regulation designed to curb exploitative overdraft charges that routinely hit working-class Americans the hardest.This isn't a technical policy disagreement—it's a choice to side with an industry that routinely charges Americans up to $35 for covering small shortfalls, even when the overdrafted amount is often less than the fee itself. The CFPB's rule was narrow, targeting only large banks and credit unions with more than $10 billion in assets, and still allowed higher fees if justified by actual costs. It was a modest, evidence-based consumer protection measure.The financial industry's immediate lawsuit and the GOP's use of the Congressional Review Act to kill the rule reveal the coordinated effort to preserve a lucrative revenue stream. The overdraft fee fight is just one piece of a broader Republican strategy to roll back protections the CFPB has implemented—protections meant to hold powerful financial institutions accountable.No one should mistake this vote as anything other than what it is: an effort by Senate Republicans to keep consumers on the hook, ensuring that banks and credit unions can continue bleeding them dry in the name of "choice" and "flexibility"—buzzwords that conveniently mask an enduring deference to corporate power. They'll couch these kinds of moves in language of fairness–pretending they ensure lower-income consumers are given access to these financial instruments. A moment's reflection, however, makes it clear that even under their best dressed reasoning they're looking to enable banks to charge exorbitant fees to account holders in precarity. Senate Votes to Repeal CFPB's $5 Cap on Bank Overdraft Fees (1)Yesterday, President Donald Trump issued an executive order against the prominent law firm WilmerHale, following its connections to Robert Mueller, the former special counsel who led the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. The order directs federal agencies to cancel contracts with WilmerHale's clients, revoke lawyers' security clearances, and restrict access to U.S. government buildings. This is part of a broader strategy targeting law firms with ties to Mueller's investigation, including Perkins Coie, Paul Weiss, and Jenner & Block.Trump criticized Mueller's investigation as an example of government overreach, labeling it as politically motivated. In addition to its ties to Mueller, Trump also accused WilmerHale of discriminatory practices in its diversity programs, echoing similar claims against other law firms earlier this month. The firm, which has a long-standing history of handling high-profile cases, responded by labeling the order unlawful and vowed to seek appropriate remedies.WilmerHale, a major player in litigation with over 1,100 lawyers, represents a variety of high-profile clients, including Gilead, Comcast, and Meta Platforms. The firm has also been involved in cases challenging actions taken by the Trump administration, fueling further tensions. Notably, Trump also targeted other firms for their involvement in the Russia investigation and opposition research, but some, like Paul Weiss, have managed to have orders rescinded by agreeing to specific terms, including providing legal services aligned with Trump's agenda.Trump Hits WilmerHale With Executive Order Over Mueller Ties (2)Trump targets another law firm, citing ties to Robert Mueller | ReutersA federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from enforcing a Labor Department rule that would force grant recipients to abandon their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. The decision, issued by U.S. District Judge Matthew Kennelly in Chicago, halts a two-week enforcement window of a January executive order that required organizations receiving federal funds to certify they don't operate any DEI initiatives—even those unrelated to their grants.The case was brought by Chicago Women in Trades (CWIT), a nonprofit that trains women for skilled labor jobs and receives federal funding. The judge sided with CWIT's argument that the DEI restriction violates First Amendment protections, noting that such a rule could pressure grantees into self-censorship. Kennelly also blocked the Labor Department from terminating CWIT's funding under Trump's directive to eliminate “equity-related grants,” though this protection applies only to CWIT and not nationwide.Kennelly's order represents a legal pushback against Trump's broader effort to dismantle DEI initiatives across government agencies and contractors. While a federal appeals court recently upheld a temporary ban on DEI programs in federal agencies and contracting businesses, this ruling suggests courts may scrutinize how far the administration can go in policing DEI-related activity outside direct federal oversight.The ruling underscores an emerging legal battleground over free speech, anti-discrimination law, and the limits of executive authority in regulating DEI efforts.Judge blocks Trump's Labor Department from requiring grant recipients to abandon DEI | ReutersA federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to preserve Signal messages exchanged by top officials regarding planned military strikes in Yemen. The messages, inadvertently shared with a journalist from The Atlantic, revealed internal discussions involving Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and CIA Director John Ratcliffe about timing and targets of attacks against the Houthi militant group. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg's ruling mandates that all Signal messages sent between March 11 and March 15 be retained by the agencies involved.The order came in response to a lawsuit filed by American Oversight, a government watchdog group, which argued that the use of auto-deleting messaging apps like Signal violated federal record-keeping laws. The lawsuit doesn't focus on the national security aspects of the disclosure but rather on the legal obligation of government agencies to preserve official communications.The controversy deepened after Attorney General Pam Bondi publicly criticized Boasberg, accusing him of political bias and claiming he was attempting to obstruct Trump's agenda. Trump himself has previously called for Boasberg's impeachment after the judge blocked a deportation policy targeting Venezuelan migrants—an action later upheld by an appeals court.The White House has not commented on the matter, but the episode has sparked scrutiny over the administration's handling of sensitive military planning and whether efforts to bypass official communication channels undermine transparency and accountability.Judge orders Trump administration to preserve Yemen attack plan messages | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Sergei Rachmaninoff.This week's closing theme is one of the most beloved and instantly recognizable moments in all of classical music: Variation XVIII from Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op. 43 by Sergei Rachmaninoff, in a solo piano arrangement by Schultz. Rachmaninoff composed the Rhapsody in 1934 during his later years in exile from Russia, blending his romantic sensibilities with virtuoso brilliance. The work is a set of 24 variations on the 24th Caprice by Niccolò Paganini, itself a legendary theme known for dazzling technical demands.While most of the piece is fiery and rhythmic, the 18th variation stands apart—lyrical, sweeping, and emotionally expansive. In fact, it's a musical inversion of Paganini's theme, reimagined as a lush romantic melody that seems to rise straight out of the piano's depths. Rachmaninoff himself admitted it was his favorite part of the piece, and it's easy to understand why: it's tender, grand, and full of longing.This solo arrangement by Schultz pares down the orchestral drama but keeps all the expressive power, letting the piano sing with full-hearted warmth. The variation has since transcended its classical origins, appearing in films, commercials, and pop culture, yet it never loses its emotional punch. It's the kind of music that doesn't need explanation—it just resonates.Rachmaninoff, ever the late Romantic in a century veering toward modernism, poured his soul into his music. This variation, placed deep in a virtuosic whirlwind, emerges like a moment of clarity—an unguarded confession in a storm. Let it carry you out this week. This is a public episode.

Donald Trump had a complete meltdown over the most mundane issue imaginable over the weekend, when he got on Truth Social and whined like a baby about an official painting of him hanging in the Capitol Building in the state of Colorado. Trump complained that the artist made him look "distorted," but all the artist did was take away his giant wrinkles and sagging skin to make him look a little bit younger and healthier. The IRS is predicting a 10% drop in the amount of taxes that it collects this year - meaning the US government is going to lose about $500 billion. But the drop isn't because people made less money - quite the contrary. The drop is due to the fact that wealthy tax cheats and businesses are using the chaos caused by Elon Musk's DOGE to simply not pay taxes because they are betting on the IRS not having the resources to come after them. Donald Trump's most diehard fans are not extending the love to Elon Musk. In fact, plenty of MAGA loyalists believe that Musk has managed to usurp Trump's power and therefore emasculate him on the global stage. These MAGA fans expressed their frustrations about Musk in a conversation with The New York Times, and their responses don't bode well for the administration. But the concerns of Republican lawmakers could prove to be even more problematic.The White House Easter Egg Roll has been a longstanding tradition in America that allows children the chance to have some fun and relax with the administration on a joyous day. But, as usual, Donald Trump doesn't believe in fun or happiness, so he's decided to turn the event into a corporate-sponsored bribery fest, and he's now offering "sponsorship" packages for high-dollar donors that include a brunch with the First Family. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

On Friday, Judge Juan Merchan carried out Donald Trump's criminal sentencing, officially making him a felon in the eyes of the law. However, the sentence was absolutely nothing - literally - and Trump will have zero consequences other than the title of convicted felon. Nevertheless, Trump whined like a baby after the sentencing, going on a completely unhinged rant on his social media platform.Last week, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that they were doing away with the fact-checking program that Facebook had implemented years ago, allowing misinformation to immediately run rampant on the platform. But it has now been revealed that Zuckerberg quietly met with Donald Trump to discuss the matter before the public announcement. Trump now has three of the wealthiest people in the world in his pocket, along with the top social media platforms on earth.Donald Trump is learning very quickly that our neighbors to the North are not to be trifled with. Canadian lawmakers are working on a plan to introduce retaliatory tariffs against the United States if Trump follows through with his plans, and they are specifically targeting industries in Trump's new home state of Florida. We are headed for a global showdown that we can't afford to fight and that we almost certainly can't win.According to a new analysis by CNBC, the Federal Reserve believes that Donald Trump's policies are going to cause out of control inflation which has the potential to completely tank the US economy. The Fed cited two policies specifically: Mass deportations and tariffs, which they believe will be the driving force behind inflation in the next few years. Trump has been warned by every smart person in the country that he's on a course that could ruin the economy, he just doesn't care.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

This Day in Legal History: Teddy Roosevelt, Trust BusterOn December 3, 1901, President Theodore Roosevelt delivered his first State of the Union address, where he boldly called for the dissolution of powerful business trusts. These trusts, large corporate conglomerates dominating key sectors like railroads, oil, and steel, were widely criticized for stifling competition and exploiting workers. Roosevelt argued that unchecked corporate power threatened the economic and political freedoms of ordinary Americans. This speech marked the beginning of Roosevelt's aggressive antitrust campaign, which sought to enforce the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890—a law that had been largely dormant due to weak enforcement. During his presidency, Roosevelt initiated lawsuits against 44 trusts, targeting entities like the Northern Securities Company, a massive railroad monopoly, and Standard Oil. His administration's victory in the 1904 Northern Securities case was a landmark decision, affirming the federal government's authority to regulate monopolies. Roosevelt's efforts earned him the nickname "Trust Buster," though he preferred to describe his approach as ensuring a "square deal" for all, rather than dismantling every large corporation indiscriminately. The 1901 address and the actions that followed redefined the federal government's role in economic regulation, setting a precedent for progressive reforms. Roosevelt's trust-busting legacy laid the groundwork for future antitrust policies and established the President as a central figure in addressing economic inequality and corporate overreach.Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell sharply criticized two federal judges for reversing their retirement plans, a move he claims prevents Donald Trump from filling their vacancies when he returns to the White House. Referring to the judges as "partisan Democrat district judges," McConnell accused them of undermining the electoral mandate by remaining active after the November election results. Though he didn't name them, McConnell's comments were aimed at U.S. District Judges Algenon Marbley and Max Cogburn, appointees of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, respectively, who had previously indicated they would take senior status—a semi-retirement—pending Senate confirmation of successors. McConnell labeled the judges' decisions as partisan interference, urging the incoming administration to consider recusal options for them. He also claimed their actions reflect a “political finger on the scale,” though no historical precedent or formal violation underpins his accusations. Notably, judicial replacements for both seats faced delays during Biden's administration due to Senate procedural traditions and partisan gridlock, complicating the nomination process.McConnell's critique appears selective, given his own record of partisanship in judicial confirmations. Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin countered by highlighting McConnell's refusal to advance Merrick Garland's Supreme Court nomination during Obama's presidency—a move widely criticized as unprecedented gamesmanship. McConnell also criticized appellate judges who announced retirements contingent on successor confirmations, calling potential reversals "unprecedented," despite the lack of ethical violations or rule breaches. Critics argue McConnell's remarks exemplify a strategic focus on judiciary control rather than a genuine concern for ethics or impartiality.McConnell Blasts Judges Who Reversed Retirement Post-Trump WinElon Musk's $56 billion Tesla compensation package was invalidated by Delaware Chancery Court Judge Kathaleen McCormick, marking a significant legal setback for the billionaire. The judge ruled that Tesla's board had been improperly influenced by Musk when it approved the plan in 2018, describing the arrangement as excessive and criticizing the board for capitulating to Musk's demands. This decision upheld her earlier January ruling, rejecting arguments from Musk and Tesla shareholders who had voted to revive the package.The ruling not only voids the record-setting payout but also requires Tesla's board to propose a new compensation plan, though the company has announced plans to appeal. Musk, the world's richest person, reacted by labeling the decision “absolute corruption” on his social media platform, X. The court also awarded $345 million in attorney fees to the shareholder lawyers who challenged the package, marking one of the largest legal payouts in U.S. shareholder litigation.The compensation case stemmed from a lawsuit alleging that Tesla's board failed to act independently and allowed Musk to orchestrate the details of his pay package. McCormick dismissed arguments that shareholder approval could override her judicial findings, emphasizing the limits of post-trial actions in reversing decisions. Tesla shares fell after the ruling, and the decision could prompt further scrutiny of corporate governance at the company.Musk's Multibillion-Dollar Tesla Payout Gutted by Delaware JudgeDelaware judge rejects Musk's $56 billion Tesla pay - again | ReutersCalifornia Governor Gavin Newsom has proposed a $25 million legal fund to prepare for potential conflicts with President-elect Donald Trump's administration. Announced during a special legislative session, the fund aims to bolster the state's ability to challenge federal policies on issues like reproductive rights, immigration, and environmental protection. Newsom emphasized that the initiative seeks to protect critical state resources, such as disaster relief and health care, while safeguarding civil rights and reproductive health care access.The funding would enable the California Department of Justice and other state agencies to swiftly respond to federal actions, with Attorney General Rob Bonta planning to expand staffing for legal battles. California has a history of such litigation, having spent $42 million during Trump's first term and filing over 120 lawsuits against his administration. Newsom cited past successes in securing funding and reversing federal actions as evidence of the strategy's effectiveness.The proposal also aligns with new legislative measures to protect abortion rights, including access to medication and enforcement of the state's Reproductive Privacy Act. Newsom's office expects the budget measure to pass before Trump's inauguration on January 20, ensuring California's readiness to counter any federal policies that could impact the state's economy or public services.California governor proposes $25 million war chest for legal fights with Trump | ReutersMy column for Bloomberg this week tackles the looming funding crisis facing Social Security, one of America's most vital anti-poverty programs. Without intervention, the program will face a shortfall by 2035, jeopardizing benefits millions of Americans rely on. To avert this crisis, I propose two practical and politically feasible solutions: raising the cap on taxable income and expanding Social Security taxes to include investment income.Currently, income above $168,600 is exempt from Social Security taxes, creating a regressive structure where high earners contribute a smaller share of their total income. Eliminating or significantly increasing this cap would not only generate substantial revenue but also ensure a fairer tax burden. Public opinion overwhelmingly supports this approach, favoring tax adjustments over benefit cuts or increasing the retirement age.Beyond raising the cap, policymakers should modernize the tax base by including investment income such as capital gains, dividends, and interest. In 2024, Americans earned $3.7 trillion in investment income, much of it untaxed for Social Security purposes. Even modest taxation on this income, especially above high thresholds like $400,000, could secure the program's solvency while reflecting the realities of modern wealth generation.Opponents might argue that taxing investments could harm economic growth, but careful, incremental adjustments would likely have minimal impact on investor behavior. Acting now allows for gradual changes and avoids drastic measures later, ensuring Social Security continues to deliver on its promise of financial security for all contributors.Social Security Faces a Crisis, but Sound Tax Policy Can Help This is a public episode.

This week on Ring of Fire! There is absolutely no winning with Donald Trump. Following the incident at his golf course on Sunday, Trump told a rally crowd this week that both President Biden and Vice President Harris called him and were very nice, and then he said he wished that they hadn't been so nice to him – apparently it makes him feel bad to be a jerk to them after that. But he continued on with his jerkish behavior nevertheless. Republican Senator John Kennedy made headlines this week when he went into a massively racist line of questioning with a Muslim woman who was testifying before a Senate Committee on racism on college campuses. Kennedy appeared to prove her point about rampant racism by repeatedly implying that she supported terrorist organizations, but he shocked the entire room and drew audible gasps from the audience when he concluded his time by telling the woman to “hide your head in a bag.” Republicans in the House failed to get a budget bill passed on Wednesday evening because they wouldn't remove the SAVE Act that Donald Trump has been pushing for. Now Trump has gone ballistic and is demanding that Republicans shut down the federal government at the end of the month. Mitch McConnell had previously said that doing so would be “politically stupid,” but Trump is telling Republicans that now is the time to be stupid. All that, and more, on this week's Ring of Fire Podcast!
