Colorado is now requiring lawyers in the State, as a condition of logging into its court e-filing system, to promise not to cooperate with federal authorities in enforcing federal immigration law. Please understand: - I do not practice immigration law. - I do not practice criminal law. - Nothing about my civil practice has anything to do with this. And yet because I cannot log into the State's official e-filing system without saluting The Resistance, I now cannot represent my clients, file lawsuits, access cases, file documents in existing cases, etc. If I click "Decline," it kicks me out of the system. I must click "Accept" to access the system and continue representing my civil clients -- again, in cases that have absolutely nothing to do with immigration law or policy. I've read SB 25-276 (the law referred to below). It does not regulate me as a private attorney or any of the clients I represent in civil matters. This is outrageous draconian overreach. I have ethical obligations to my clients to represent them competently. My existing cases have running deadlines that I must attend to. Judges issue orders in my cases that I must follow. If I don't click "Accept" in order to access the State's e-filing system, I will harm my clients, torpedo my practice, and probably commit malpractice. So, I have no choice. I'm clicking "Accept" under protest.

It would behoove our NATO allies to appreciate that this sentiment is *very* widely shared, including amongst erstwhile boosters of trans-Atlantic relations.

President Ahmed Al-Sharif met with Richard Knighton, Chief of Staff of the British Army, during his official visit to the United Kingdom. Richard doesn’t look too comfortable I wonder why.

What a treat to spend the afternoon with 105-year-old WW2 veteran and Mosquito pilot (undertaking 50 bombing raids over Germany) Colin Bell. He is truly among the most remarkable people I've ever met, and I can't wait to get stuck into his brilliant memoir, Bloody Dangerous.

פרסום ראשון: משבר חמור מאיים לפרוץ בין הותיקן לבין ישראל בגלל משטרת ירושלים. פיירבטיסטה פייצבלה, שנחשב השלישי בחשיבותו בותיקן והפטריארך הלטיני , יחד עם הקוסטוס פרנצ׳סקו לפו(מספר 4 בחשיבתו) עוכבו בידי המשטרת ירושלים ! ומנעו מהם להיכנס לכנסיית הקבר בטענה שאסור בגלל המלחמה. השניים רצו להיכנס לתפילה מצומצמת של 4 אנשים במסגרת ראשון הדקל החשוב לפני הפאסחה, אחרי שביטלו מיסות המוניות בגלל המלחמה, ובכל זאת נענו בשלילה בידי כמה שוטרים וקצינים זוטרים.

A single dose of a new cancer drug made a brain tumor almost disappear – in just five days. Doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital reported “dramatic and rapid” tumor regression in the first patients treated with a next-generation form of CAR T-cell therapy for glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive brain cancers known. The therapy, called CARv3-TEAM-E, was developed to overcome a major hurdle in treating solid tumors: their ability to hide from the immune system. The personalized treatment reprograms a patient’s immune cells to attack the tumor, and in one extraordinary case, nearly eliminated the cancer within just five days. This novel therapy is designed to target multiple features of the tumor at once, a strategy that may help overcome the common challenge of treatment resistance in solid tumors like glioblastoma. Although the tumors eventually returned, the early outcomes were described as unprecedented. One patient saw a 60% reduction in tumor size that lasted for half a year—an impressive result in a cancer known for its aggressiveness. The trial’s success marks a major step forward for immunotherapy in brain cancer and raises new hopes for long-term control or even a cure. Researchers are now working to refine the treatment and extend its effects, with the ultimate goal of turning a once-terminal diagnosis into a survivable condition.
