A Skadden attorney resigned today, citing the firm’s decision to strike a deal with Trump amid pressure campaign on law firms.
“[I]f my employer cannot stand up for the rule of law, then I cannot ethically continue to work for them,” the former Skadden lawyer, Brenna Trout Frey, wrote on LinkedIn.

A sitting president openly defied a direct federal court order—and nothing happened. No intervention. No enforcement. No consequences.

Black Saturday: The Day the United States Ceased to Be a Constitutional Democracy
Black Saturday, March 15, 2025, will be remembered as the day the U.S. ceased to function as a constitutional democracy. A sitting president defied a federal court order, proving that judicial authority no longer constrains executive power. This is not a warning—it is confirmation that democracy has already collapsed.

The @housedemocrats.bsky.social and @senatedemocrats.bsky.social had best find their opposition footing or they will lose registered party members, donors and voters faster than Dorothy can tap her ruby red slippers. #couragecrisis
Senate Democratic leadership essentially played dead today and greenlit the Trump-Musk-Vance coup. What is the point of the Democratic Party if it doesn't actually act like an opposition party? Hello?

Clearly the U.S. Attorney and DC Police don’t care about protecting women from assault. #domesticviolence #corymills #corruption
A scandal is brewing in D.C. over an alleged assault by a GOP Congressman and a possible cover up by the authorities, including the U.S. Attorney’s Office there. I lay out the facts and start asking some questions in today’s piece: https://buff.ly/3DaxfNJ

Again: Trump just ordered 2 dams open to levels that would’ve flooded areas and farms, without warning, all to back up the lies he told about the fires — and the rivers don’t even flow to LA.
Locals panicked and they backed off.

"California paid in a lot more [to the federal government] than it got back — $83 billion in total. So did Washington state and much of the Northeast. Most red states were in the reverse position, getting much more from DC than they paid in return."
