NSO Group has been rightly criticized for helping dictators and authoritarians spy on journalists and other members of civil society, but it hasn't stopped.

Hopefully, this multi-million verdict against them will finally get their attention.

Legit the best thing any Dem has done to date in response to Trump and it happened because he cared more about serving his constituents than public polling about immigration.

It’s comforting for some lawyers to lament the “tough spot” Trump has put some law firms in. But I choose to remember what civil rights lawyers endured, and the integrity & courage they showed despite being considerably more vulnerable that well-resourced law firms being bullied by Trump.
