I just put in conditional notice at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and Affiliates. I sent that notice firm-wide and anticipate the email will leak. I would rather just share it with you myself. Once, when I was in fifth grade, I failed a test and came home sobbing. My mom was disappointed in me but couldn’t figure out why I was so upset until I choked out, “now I won’t get into Harvard!!” I was a gunner, even then. I’ve spent thirty years working to get into these spaces. I do not give them up lightly, and I have made plenty of moral compromises before. But this moment is existential; whether we get better from an already unacceptable status quo or get worse hinges on how we handle it. If being on this career path demands I accept that my industry—because this is certainly not unique to Skadden—will allow an authoritarian government to ignore the courts, I refuse to take it any further. As I have said before, others stand to lose far, far more than a paycheck. I’m going to go cry and watch the new White Lotus, but rest assured I will be back tomorrow, and the next day, and the next. Thank you.

So Sad! 😞 our electorate has unleashed the “Trumpenstein Monster” on itself! He has ran a scamp and Con-game two-step on America!

The Democrats Have No Courage! MAGA REPUBLICANS created Trumpenstein. Now they’re running from him too! In the meantime “We The People” will suffer!! 🙈

Tara Setmayer. 👏👏👏. We need A “VOICE OF DISSENT!” When Biden was President, Trump and Fox News would contradict or distort the narrative. Dem’s silence is only giving Trump a green light to destroy our democracy & government. America doesn’t have a King.
