How can Attorney General just change the ethics rules that govern a profession we all rely on of maintaining order?
What if the Treasury Secretary does away with dual entry accounting?

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

I just want to make sure that everyone knows Trump's war of choice in Iran is costing us $900 million a day according to the latest figures
Not $900 a day, not $9,000 a day, not $90,000 a day, not $900,000 a day, not $9 million a day, not $90 million a day
$900 million a day

It is weird how they believe international law doesn't apply to them.
People don't realize that banks have laws that determine how much cash they need to have on hand. No investment fund or scheme has the same rules.
Hey folks, Apple jammed me up really bad again last month & I've been stuck dealing with all their latest retaliation for two weeks - tons of legal paperwork, barely sleeping or eating, behind on everything else... & I still owe $708 in taxes. If you can help, please do! Thanks!

NOTICE OF PENDENCY: APRIL 2 2026 HEARING IN BOSTON, MA Plaintiff Ashley M. Gjovik respectfully files this Notice of Pendency as a supplement to her Feb. 20 2026 Notice of Pendency at Dkt. 286 (βMotion for Sanctions against Apple Inc filed in Ch. 7 Bankruptcy Case 25-11496 for the Disputed Creditor's Willful Violation of the Stay (Creditor No. 21011446)β). On March 3 2026, Plaintiff was notified by the Bankruptcy Court in the District of Massachusetts that Judge Panos responded to the Plaintiffβs Feb. 20 2026 Motion for Sanctions against Creditor Apple Inc (Case 25-11496 at Dkt. 58) by scheduling a hearing with her and disputed creditor Apple Inc to discuss the issues alleged in the Motion for Sanctions (25-11496 at Dkt. 58, 159 pages; and copy of the Motion without exhibits at Dkt. 286 in 3:23-cv-04597, 21 pages). A copy of the March 3 2026 Notice of Hearing is attached as Exhibit A. The federal Bankruptcy Code statute which Apple is alleged to have violated is 11 U.S. Code Β§ 362 (the βAutomatic stay.β) The automatic stay applies to situations where employers take actions (ie, file lawsuits, make cross-claims, request sanctions or injunctions, or otherwise assert claims against the Debtor/Employee) regarding alleged violations of the Debtorβs pre-petition employment agreements. See In re Hruby, 512 B.R. 262, 274 (Bankr. D. Colo. 2014) (employer must seek stay relief before enforcing confidentiality provisions against debtor-employee). This can appear as independent claims, and/or also combined with other allegations (like, for instance, breaching discovery protective orders). At the hearing, the Bankruptcy Court will assumably determine the nature, extent, and type of relief Apple has already requested from this District Court that Apple requests to order against the Plaintiff, what Appleβs stated basis is for supposedly deserving that relief (including the alleged legal rights that Appleβs described this matter in all relevant filings/letters thus far), if Appleβs β¦
adjudication (NLRB, etc.) against Apple -- Appleβs recent requests to this District Court would certainly impact the Bankruptcy proceedings. (β[T]he test for determining whether a civil proceeding is related in bankruptcy is whether the outcome of that proceeding could conceivably have any effect on the estate being administered in bankruptcy.β In re Gardner, 913 F.2d 1515, 1518 (10th Cir. 1990) (quoting Pacor, Inc. v. Higgins, 743 F.2d 984, 994 (3d Cir.1984)).). As stated, prior (see, 3:23-cv-04597: Feb. 18 2026 at Dkt. 279; Feb. 19-20 2026 Dkt. 282-286; Feb. 27 2026 at Dkt. 297), if Apple wants to continue to seek the relief it has described in Dkt. 280 (Feb. 19 βRequest for Immediate Conference Regarding Breachesβ¦β), and the Feb. 26 2026 (Emergency βMotion to Enforceβ etc. 3:23-cv-0459, Dkt. 293, 294, 295) the very first step is for Apple to request Judge Panos to life the Stay for that claim in the Bankruptcy proceeding. Until the Stay is lifted, no other court has jurisdiction to hear Appleβs claims against the Debtor/Plaintiff, Ashley Gjovik, arising out of pre-petition executory contracts, pre-petition debts, claims that could impact the Bankruptcy proceeding, etc. Apple Inc is responsible for destroying the Plaintiffβs career and finances, including driving her into bankruptcy. Apple already has two noticed Bankruptcy counsel from Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP in the Bankruptcy proceeding. (Exhibit B). Starting around August 2025, Apple filed Motions to this District Court, arguing Bankruptcy law, making prejudicial requests that harmed the Debtor/Plaintiff including obtaining a three month long stay of this litigation due to the Bankruptcy proceeding (3:23-cv-0459, Dkt. 247-25) and for ultimately no reason (3:23-cv-0459, Dkt. 263, 265-7, 269). In Aug. 2025, the Plaintiffβs motions in this case (i.e. Dkt. 250-252, 297, etc.) repeatedly reminded Apple of the Stay and that they are bound by it. (βThe automatic stay only stays litigation against the debtoβ¦

βοΈ On 2/20 I filed a motion in my bankruptcy for sanctions against Apple when it jammed me up, abt my NLRB charges & protesting that it found yet another way to suppress employee complaints (w/ innovative new illegal work rules via discovery) to conceal their sh*tty behavior. We now have a hearing! βοΈ
The cruel irony is that Trump will likely use his war with Iran as a pretext to further suppress dissent at home.
We must resist his efforts to stifle freedom of speech, make warrantless searches and arrests of Americans, and put more military onto our streets.
Bernie's new billionaire wealth tax would raise $4.4T from the super-rich over the next decade.
That's more than enough to reverse Trump's Medicaid cuts, raise teacher pay, make childcare affordable, and build millions of affordable homes.
And guess what? The super-rich will still be super rich.
Is ignoring the US Constitution as president impeachable?
