Democrats: Oh wow, universal basic income and healthcare both have supermajority support, even among independents. Should we do them? Nah. Let's appeal to conservatives in a way that doesn't win them over but also loses our own voters by pushing for minor tweaks that won't scare the Never Trumpers.

“It’s a sad spectacle to see a law firm …rendering itself into an instrument for lawlessness. It’s also a cautionary example of how lawyers should not conduct themselves as the Trump regime proceeds with its effort to replace the nation’s justice system with one governed by cronyism and corruption.”
While the Trump Regime is targeting lawyers for conducting themselves ethically, other lawyers are seeking to profiteer by aiding in Trump's assault on the rule of law, as I discussed here.
