I founded and chair an "elite law firm" and we are not in retreat. I have spoken with many other "elite" firm leaders that are staffing up. What the WSJ means is large corporate law firms. Please do not confuse quality with cowardice.

As a surgeon, I know the value of precision. A scalpel allows for careful, targeted intervention—minimizing harm while addressing the problem. But when you’ve already taken a chainsaw to the body, switching to a scalpel won’t stop the hemorrhage.

Imagine handing your car keys to an insane person whose driver's license was revoked for shitty driving, putting your family and all your valuables in the car, and telling him to drive near a cliff. That's where America is now, with trump in the driver's seat. Dumb choice, America.

2 lies I hear from the right about the federal government: "The federal government has gotten so bloated!" The federal government is the same size it was when Kennedy was president. "Reagan was the last president to cut the federal government!" There were MORE fed employees when he left office.

Military aid to Ukraine has always been a bargain for the U.S. We degraded Russia’s armed forces and replaced our own stockpiles with brand new weapons, all while brave Ukrainians— not Americans—fought the Russians off. Halting that aid is not only morally repulsive, it’s plain stupid.

MEUSER: You've got Trudeau saying how the president is making a dumb move. That's bad diplomacy. SANCHEZ: I'm not sure how it's good diplomacy to say that a neighboring country should be the 51st state and that you're gonna impose economic hardship to achieve that goal.
