Here is an up to date list of Big Law collaborators along with how much in free legal services they have pledged to Trump's causes. Paul Weiss 40M Cadwalader 100M Milbank 100M Skadden Arps 100M Willkie Farr 100M A&O Shearman 125M Kirkland & Ellis 125M Latham & Watkins 125M Simpson Thacher 125M

Noem: I oversee 26 different components of the department of homeland security and they are so proud of the fact that I'm willing to wear an I.C.E. Hat, wearing an HSI vest, willing to go into there and wear something…

The credibility of the US government is completely shot. Gone. Annihilated. Nobody anywhere in the world can believe a single word that comes out of this Administration. Ever.

He just testified all morning about the reasons why the tariff policy was going to make America great. Then he checked his phone and realized everything he just said was canceled on Truth Social.

Republicans in Congress can repeal every tariff tomorrow and take Trump’s tariff authority away from him. But they choose not to. So every Republican in Congress owns EVERY SINGLE BIT of this. You can’t hide from the voters forever.

This is @MarshaBlackburn & @SenatorHagerty & @AndyOgles & @RepMarkGreen & @RepTimBurchett & @RepHarshbarger & @RepJohnRose & @RepDavidKustoff & @DesJarlaisTN04 & @RepChuck’s crash too

#tariffs I'd say see you all at the soup kitchens, but DOGE cut all the funding for the soup kitchens.

Today, I am calling on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other top officials in the Trump administration to resign immediately due to their reckless and unlawful disclosure of national security secrets. Their actions have put our country at risk, and immediate accountability is necessary

Elon Rittenhouse.

Welcome to autocracy. The Republic we have known for the last 240 years is gone. This is going to keep getting worse. Much worse. The courts mean nothing, the law means nothing, Congress is irrelevant. He is a malignant psychopath.

These Dems finally went on the offense against the GOP during these must-watch moments. Listen to the latest MeidasTouch Podcast (links below): Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/41Tv...

Every Arizonan I talk to wants better schools and a better education for their kids. How does gutting the Dept. of Education help achieve that? It doesn’t.

BREAKING: Judge orders the Trump administration not to deport a Palestinian activist pending legal fight over his detention.

The White House Press Secretary just wrapped up her press conference, and let’s be clear—the White House is gaslighting you as the country burns. Here is everything you need to know.

And now Trump and declared a national emergency and and escalated trade war with Canada. A deranged madman is running the country. Trump is nuts too.

President Trump’s simpering fealty to Vladimir Putin and Russia is embarrassing and dangerous. Illinois stands with Ukraine, and so should the White House.

There it is! "Putin went through a hell of a lot with me. He went through a phony witch hunt." He is referring to them weathering their collusion becoming public, and now is the big payback: together until the end.

It must suck to attend a WH Press briefing while AP is locked out and most of the questions go to right-wing podcasters and internet channels while you sit there and get ignored. I’d rather be AP taking a principled stand than whatever that is.

Germany’s likely new chancellor Friedrich Merz: And for me, the absolute priority will be to strengthen Europe as quickly as possible so that we step by step to also truly achieve independence from the USA. I would not have believed that I would have to say something like this on TV...

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Trudeau: "There's not a snowball's chance in hell that Canada will ever be the 51st state"

Karoline Leavitt: "The real constitutional crisis is taking place within our judicial branch."

The Department of Education has agreed to temporarily block DOGE from accessing federal student loan data.

Heads up: The co-author of Project 2025 just issued a directive to halt almost ALL activity out of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.   Russ Vought instructed employees to "cease all supervision and examination activity" and pause all pending investigations. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Professor Vance sez courts should butt out

"It is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is." - Marbury v. Madison (1803).

We’ve had checks & balances & separation of powers embedded into the founding of our national govt specifically because the Framers anticipated that some day an executive might come along like Trump. For over 2 centuries we have also had judicial review. It’s all under siege now.

Trump rewards MAGA billionaire donor Melinda Hildebrand with an ambassadorship to Costa Rica. The oligarchy continues on.

FLAG: Dozens of Head Start programs, which provide childcare and preschool education to low-income children, have been unable to access previously approved federal funding after Trump's funding freeze — putting programs at risk of having to close in the coming days. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

President Musk everyone

Wyden: "Tell Elon Musk to take his hands off your money!"
