How Donald Trump Throttled Big Law
The President has two goals: to seek revenge and to intimidate lawyers challenging his agenda. Is a top firm’s deal with him a necessary act of survival or a damaging blow to the entire profession?

There is no substantive difference between a government shutdown and what Republicans are already doing and intend to do in the future.
The only thing that’s changed is that the GOP can now claim to have bipartisan assent for their wave of mutilation.

Tribal sovereignty is inherent—it predates the United States and is enshrined in treaties, federal law, and the U.S. Constitution. We won't stop reminding the Trump administration of these facts.

The audacity of fundraising emails asking for more money to "save democracy" when y'all aren't even fighting. Money shouldn't be the deciding factor of whether good defeats evil. Greed, pride, & mendacity are the traits of a politician. Politicians are inherently corrupt & trained to lie for power.
