Ease Back into the News: Substack Live, Saturday at 11 a.m. EST with Jay Kuo and Me
Jay Kuo, from here on Substack, and I are planning a Substack Live Saturday morning at 11 a.m. EST to help everyone catch up on the crazy Thanksgiving week legal news cycle. I love that Jay’s Substack is a play on “status quo” — spelled like his last name, “Status Kuo.”
We’ve planned a number of topics we’d like to discuss, and hopefully we’ll be able to get to most, if not all, of them. If there’s anything else you want us to include, please let us know in the comments.
Trump’s ongoing insistence on a military presence in American cities, and the tragic shooting in the District of Columbia that claimed the life of a West Virginia National Guardsman and seriously injured another.
A South Carolina Judge’s ruling that Eastern District of Virginia U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan’s appointment was invalid—and the implications of that decision.
The split within MAGA that has Marjorie Taylor Greene at odds with Donald Trump, and the interest in whether anyone else will follow in her footsteps.
The latest on the Epstein Files, the scheduled release of files by DOJ to Congress, and the likelihood that it will actually happen.
Trump’s attacks on, and the military and FBI investigations into, the six Democrats who reminded service and intelligence community members that their oaths forbid them from following illegal orders.
If you don’t already know Jay, you’re in for a treat. Like me, he’s a former appellate litigator, but he’s also a lot more. Jay is a Broadway composer and Tony-winning producer, and the author of The Status Kuo substack, which he calls “a daily distillation of our chaotic legal and political world.” Jay is also the chair-elect of the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s oldest civil rights organization serving the LGBTQ+ community with over 3.5 million members nationwide, a group that was an essential partner when I was the U.S. Attorney in Birmingham and that continues to do great work in Alabama and more hospitable parts of the country.
There is so much to discuss right now. I hope you’ll join us for a morning cup of coffee and some law talk in the morning!
We’re in this together,
Joyce
Traveling after the holiday? I recorded the audio version of my book for you to listen to on the way back home.
