This is the ad Donald Trump woke up furious about.

Would be a shame if it went viral.

I’m class counsel on a certified habeas class in USDC OR (Am6-failure to provide counsel). The idea that “there’s no such thing” is at odds with the text of both statute and rule. But textualism can be so damned inconvenient.

ICE agents in Worcester, Massachusetts arrested a mother outside of her home with her newborn baby and 16 year old daughter.

The 16 year old stood in front of the ICE vehicle holding the baby.

She handed the baby to a neighbor & fled.

Police caught up to her, in a heartbreaking scene.⬇️

Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, NY’s oldest law firm, has found that its $100-million pro bono deal with Trump is backfiring as angry employees jump ship. It made the deal to avoid punitive damages from Trump’s executive orders targeting firms he said were “weaponizing” the legal system against him.

The firm avoided Trump’s wrath by pledging $100 million in pro bono work to support the president.

Perryman: Let’s be clear: the attacks on lawyers are blatantly unconstitutional. Every single federal court that has considered the executive orders naming law firms has issued orders to block them because they are patently unlawful.

What does it say about lawyers who won’t challenge that?

Don’t drill, baby, don’t drill.

Diamondback reduces drilling because of low oil prices and tariffs.

“…the cost of our largest drilling input cost, casing, has increased over 10% in the last quarter due to steel tariffs.”

Wonder what oil execs, who backed Trump strongly, thought would happen?
A remarkable quarterly letter from Diamondback, a leading independent oil producer, commenting on the current environment.

“As a result of these activity cuts, it is likely that U.S. onshore oil production has peaked and will begin to decline this quarter.”

Both Rubio's tweet, and the response, are remarkable artifacts. You have a Secretary of State tweeting right wing talking points to defend Neo Nazis, and the country where Nazis originated telling him to sod off.
Rubio publicly criticizing an ally for cracking down on right-wing extremism. And Germany hitting back. We are in a new world

Law firms did not strike a "truce" with Trump. They capitulated to an authoritarian. Some, like Skadden, sought out these deals before they even faced any sanction from the Trump regime.

The law students standing up are brave. The law firms they are protesting are cowards.
