This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites. Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

This Paul Weiss capitulation is the most disgraceful action by a major law firm in my lifetime, so appalling that I couldn’t believe it at first. Any lawyers at that firm—partners or associates—who don’t promptly resign will defile their moral and professional reputations beyond repair.

If Trump could get reelected with a popular-vote win after attempting a coup, why should a little anti-Semitism and rumormongering about Macron's wife hurt her reputation?

For 60 years, Floridians have used citizen initiatives to enact popular policies, like raising the minimum wage and legalizing medical marijuana. New state bills seek to take that power away. As a Florida resident, that pisses me off.

Paul Weiss presumably did what they would recommend a client to do: settle when litigation would be more costly even if you’re right. But when every institution cuts its own bargain with a tyrant, they all lose. That’s why they deserve the public shaming.

Trump just sent a warning to every lawyer in America. Paul Weiss got targeted, and when they caved, the attack stopped. This is Trump‘s war on lawyers who challenge him. Check out my latest: open.substack.com/pub/objectio...

Hey if you’re at Paul Weiss you should send me this email and attachment so that people can actually read it. (You can remain anonymous/I won’t attribute anything to you and I’m happy to redact for PII or other identifying information, etc.) Signal: annabower.24 or [email protected]

Paul Weiss disguising their payment of Trump's extortion as "pro-bono" work for him is disgusting. Pro-bono legal assistance is done for the public good. No legal representation for Donald Trump has ever been for the public good. It's only ever been to cheat others or help a dishonest criminal.

“Are you worried?” That is always the first question. “Of course I am worried,” I respond. “The president of the United States considers me an enemy and has promised retribution. I would be an idiot not to be worried. But I am not going to give in. I will continue to fight.”

My AM ranting starts with this primer on a GOP bill that's been teed up, a bill that Project 2025, the $$aires, & the religious right asked for. It's the next big step they want to take after debilitating the Dept of Ed. It is a huge tax break for the well-off. They call it a school voucher bill.
