Historic Win: White House Ordered To Provide Sign Language Interpreters for COVID-19 Briefings

Too bad they don’t really have the (useless, anyway) things anymore. Always wondered why they didn’t have this; most of the governors did/do.

Huge win. And a special congratulations to my once co-counsel @ianshoffman, at Arnold and Porter. If Ian is ever scheduled to take your deposition, trust me, just fold.

Also, you should know that @ianshoffman and @NAD1880 continue to fight for deaf detainees in the Federal Bureau of Prisons to have access to communication with the outside world through videophones. They've been fighting for almost a decade and are unstoppable.
