If you are guessing that Dems who work for other potential 2028 candidates were baffled by this - you are right.

Baffling decision by Whitmer advance. She was in DC with the GOP MI House speaker to meet with Trump - if he had stayed in Oval and she'd left, some optics problem. Instead she stood there as Trump signed an EO to get revenge on Chris Krebs and said 2020 was stolen.

Lawyers have a duty to defend our Constitution.
It is an absolute outrage that, in order to curry favor with Trump and continue making their billions, giant law firms like Paul Weiss have abrogated their responsibilities.
Thanks to those defending democracy. We will remember.

More than 500 law firms rally behind embattled peers, declaring that Trump’s crackdown on the legal industry poses “a grave threat to our system of constitutional governance and to the rule of law itself.” But none of the top 20 firms join. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/b...

Even the Senate Judiciary Democrats have spoken out. This is wild to me.
Schumer’s office told me they didn’t have a statement from him on it yet.
Dan Goldman’s office said they were monitoring the situation. He’s posted multiple times today but not about this.
Gillibrand went straight to voicemail.
