A firm that was willing to fight this administration could make a bunch of great hires right now.

A great time to expand as our criminal president keeps violating the constitution.
A Skadden attorney resigned today, citing the firm’s decision to strike a deal with Trump amid pressure campaign on law firms.

“[I]f my employer cannot stand up for the rule of law, then I cannot ethically continue to work for them,” the former Skadden lawyer, Brenna Trout Frey, wrote on LinkedIn.

Abortion access, voting rights, and our fundamental freedoms are on the line in this Tuesday's Wisconsin Supreme Court election.

We can’t let conservatives who want to roll back our rights to appease their billionaire backers take control of the court.

We are not heading toward this future—we are already living in it… Trump, the supposed strongman at the heart of it all, is oblivious.”

It would disenfranchise millions. It seeks to restrict what ballots states can count. It purports to give DOGE unspecified powers to review state run voter rolls. No wonder vote suppressors and election deniers from coast to coast lavished it with praise. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

Musk has now poured $8.3 million into buying the tie-breaking Wisconsin Supreme Court seat for Brad Schimel. That is vastly more than any other single donor—to eliminate a state-level check on his and Trump's power.

This isn't going to get the attention of Columbia, but it's at least as bad: the University of Maine is having its funding cut off because the governor of Maine dared to challenge Trump.
I'm appalled by the USDA's decision to pause funding to the University of Maine System.

This will hurt our farmers, halt critical research, and impact students throughout Maine.

Once again, our state is being targeted for retribution—all because our officials are standing up for the rule of law.

This is ongoing too btw, it should be “for years folks have been looking the other way”
For years, folks looked the other way as millions died or became disabled by Covid. They shouted “your health is not my responsibility” or “only the vulnerable” were at risk.

This callous disregard for human life has desensitized us. It helped pave the way for the current atrocities.

Craig Unger, an American journalist and writer who has written two books on Trump’s connections to Russia’s security services and the Russian mafia, says he is "absolutely certain" that the U.S. president is a Russian asset.

If we let the threat of martial law quell us into inaction, we lose everything.
If you claim to be a leader but are too scared to lead, fine -- sit down and let someone else take your place. It is easy to be bold when there is no threat.

Now is a time for courage.

Thank you for saying that “Afghanistan was on Trump“ because it’s the gd truth.

It was obvious that Trump deliberately set President Biden up in a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” predicament. Biden took a political hit for Trump’s bad deal w/ the Taliban.
