The boutique has grown to 62 total attorneys since its founding in 2021, an increase Elias credited largely to redistricting fights at the state level.

Rep. Don Bacon was so appalled by the Trump administration's proposed Russia-Ukraine peace plan that he considered resigning in protest, the Nebraska Republican told Axios. Why it matters: Bacon's deliberations, which have not been previously reported, demonstrate just how furious pro-Ukraine lawmakers on Capitol Hill are about the proposal. --- * Foreign policy hawks in both parties have balked at the 28-point plan, which was first reported by Axios. * The plan would recognize some occupied Ukrainian regions as de facto Russian, cap the size of Ukraine's military and force the country to agree to never join NATO. * The White House did not respond to a request for comment on this story. What they're saying: Bacon told Axios he was "so angry" at the Trump administration's proposed 28-point Russia-Ukraine peace plan last week that he "thought about" resigning early. * The centrist foreign policy hawk, a staunch supporter of Ukraine, has already announced he plans to retire in 2027 rather than seek another term. * He dubbed the proposal the "Witkoff Ukrainian surrender plan," referring to Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, who helped craft it. * But "in the end I have a commitment to our constituents to fulfill my term," Bacon said, adding that he "shared my anger" with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) but "didn't mention resignation." Between the lines: Bacon's threat is not an idle one — his early resignation would further dwindle an already narrow House Republican majority and suddenly put his highly competitive seat in play. * Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) rattled her party last Friday by unexpectedly announcing her plans to resign in January. * Johnson's current majority (including Greene) is 219-213. * Democrats are counting on a potential upset in the special election to replace former Rep. Mark Green (R-Tenn.), and two additional special elections in which they are favored, to narrow that gap even further. Axios' Kate Santaliz contributed reporting.
