Damian Williams, the former top federal prosecutor in Manhattan, is leaving the law firm Paul Weiss to join the Jenner & Block firm. He's defecting from a firm that struck a deal with the Trump admin and joining one that fought Trump's retribution efforts in court.

This is another outrageously lawless and illegal act from the Trump administration. The President cannot simply use the federal government to target his enemies. When all is said and done, there must be consequences for all those who aided and abetted this lawlessness. www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/p...

9 out of 10 agencies targeted by DOGE for layoffs are liberal-leaning. Every single proposed GOP budget increase goes to conservative agencies. They're not cutting fat—they're performing ideological surgery with a chainsaw.

Presidents using autopens is not a crime. Trump should know that. Trump's order for the Justice Department to investigate whether Biden aides used an autopen without the president's knowledge is both absurd and dangerous. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
