Imagine if Paul Weiss had had the courage to organize and unite Big Law against Trump's extortion like Harvard is doing with institutions of higher learning...

He’s going to be fired because he outed the fact that Musk arranged with Hegseth to get a top secret briefing at the Pentagon. Trump and his Chief of Staff didn’t even know about it. As usual, in Trump World, the person who does the right thing is the one who is punished.

This "WHO'S NEVER COMING BACK" document published by the White House should be "EXHIBIT A" in any forthcoming hearing where a judge/justice has asked the White House to prove how it is "facilitating" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Gutting Social Security isn’t "efficient" — it’s a broken promise. Democrats and Republicans should stand up and fight back to protect it. My op-ed in Fox News:

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Trump is thoroughly enamored with the idea of sending American citizens to a hell-hole prison in El Salvador: “I call them homegrown criminals…We want to do it. I would love to do that.”

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this. We can't. We need answers.

Trump took his tariff insider trading scheme to Congress and made Marjorie Taylor Greene an offer she couldn’t refuse. MTG is now a gleeful participant in Trump’s crime spree.

If you are at any major firm that is considering making a similar capitulation to Trump as Paul Weiss and others have done and you have information about those plans/discussions that you are willing to share with me and Law Dork readers, please reach out on a nonwork phone on Signal: crg.32

You lost your 401k... and did Trump make money doing it? He posted "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!" just hours before pausing the tariffs. It's time for everyone to ask House Republicans why they aren't fighting for an investigation into this.

The President of the United States seems oddly focused on me. Shouldn't he be focused on the economy he's crashing?

It’s the stupid, economy.

Here's the webpage put up by the office of Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes for people to notify her office if they're havig problems dealing with Social Security. Every state AG's office could do this. Might help. www.azag.gov/socialsecurity

A BS answer

How long are Democrats going to put up with the weakness of @schumer.senate.gov It’s the political equivalent of bringing a paring knife to a gunfight When we need a bazooka Chuck’s gotta go The Reformers

Page One in Dallas:

Bingo. Trumpcession — pass it on

Japanese and Chinese markets are down 8% and 10% respectively. Black Friday in 1929 was -11%. Tomorrow could easily be the worst crash in American history. The worst thing? It’s 100% intentional.

They're eating the 401ks! They're eating the Social Security! They're eating the retirements of the people who live here!

7 months ago. Bring back Bidenomics.

Bessent says the crash is OK because people have other savings. Q: "What is your message to Americans who want to retire" and have "just seen their lifetime savings drop significantly?" "Americans who have put away for years in their savings accounts ... don't look at the day-to-day fluctuations."

Fascinating to see so many otherwise intelligent and privileged people discover that Trump is disastrous for America and the world at the exact moment their bottom line, wealth, and stock portfolio took a hit. As long as Trump was attacking "the woke" and college students, they were on board.

Congratulations to Chris Sununu for the amazing timing on this Trump endorsement. Don’t forget to bring Musk in to buy some votes, MAGA Chris! bsky.app/profile/atru...

Good thing all those law firms capitulated to Trump so they could do all those deals

As the economic news keeps coming out over the coming weeks keep one thing in mind: this is the fault of one man and didn’t need to happen.

He's wiping out your life savings, destroying the Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid upon which you were promised you could depend, ending the medical research that would protect and prolong your life and that of your families & gutting your liberties...and he doesn't care about any of it.

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.

60 Minutes could find no criminal records for 75% of the Venezuelans the U.S. sent to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4clubLP

Thanks to President Biden, Trump inherited a strong, “envy of the world” economy. And, as we all know, Trump is very good at squandering an inheritance.

you, a rube: “i want my kid to grow up to be a doctor or an engineer or a teacher” lutnick, a genius: “to make america great again your child will make iphones that they will not be able to afford”

Chuck Schumer is an embarrassment. Please, Senate Dems, replace him as Minority Leader already.

Booker: "I've never seen an administration in my lifetime do something so monumentally wrong and that so staggering hurts American people."

A perfect example of how tariffs increase prices on things that don’t have tariffs on them.

Tonight, Democrats forced a vote on a simple amendment. To remove new tariffs that are increasing the cost of groceries, gas and housing. Republicans rejected it.

These people are paid. These people are paid. These people are paid. These people are PAID.

Republicans are trying to ram through Trump’s budget. Big picture? Permanent tax cuts for the rich—paid for by gutting Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. We’re really gonna need @schumer.senate.gov to fight this one with his whole chest. #HandsOff

They told me if I voted for Kamala the market would crash, and then we’d probably have a recession. They were right.

One unfortunate way to think about the stock market decline is this: the considered average opinion of people making decisions with money on the line is that the future value of America is worth $7 trillion less than before Donald Trump took office.

🚨 Trump & Musk’s budget plan: Slash education, food aid & healthcare—while handing the rich a $4.5T tax cut. Kids, the poor, even military families will pay the price. 🙃 adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-grinch...

Holy shit. If you don’t think they won’t do this to a citizen soon you’re delusional.
