And yet somehow some parts of Big Law still don’t get it.
Via New York Times: “The DOJ prosecutor who questioned the Trump administration’s decision to deport a Maryland man to El Salvador has been placed on indefinite paid leave for a “failure to zealously advocate” for the department — less than 24 hours after defending the gov’t in federal court.”

When Trump imposed tariffs during his first term, companies who contributed to Republicans were more likely to be granted tariff exemptions.
Trump's corporate donors won't shoulder the cost of his trade wars — working class Americans will.
It's crony capitalism at its worst.

"The resistance to Trump is curiously muted" was a story about elites and institutions that those same elites and institutions and the commentariat conflated with the grassroots. They were, once again, wrong.
The message is: crowd large.
Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift.
Events like this puncture that delusion.

You can stop asking where the mass opposition is. It's everywhere.
People poured out to protest not only what Trump has done—and what they fear he will do next.
