Trump's hostile takeover of big law Paul, Weiss's capitulation is bad news for the legal profession.

New in PN: Trump's hostile takeover of big law

"Paul, Weiss is now in the same boat as Columbia, constantly needing Trump's approval to stave off new shakedowns. But the administration, like any bully, will keep attacking & no acquiescence will be enough. That’s why bending the knee is a bad idea."

Gulf of Fear When news anchors tiptoe around the name Gulf of Mexico, it’s not just semantics—it’s a glimpse at how the press starts to flinch under political pressure.

if Trump and his cronies are able to veto appropriations made by Congress, then we've already moved into a dictatorial system of government. Why would Democrats waste time negotiating spending deals if Trump can just rip them up after he signs them?

There’s been a lot of debate over whether Trump means this as a threat or it’s a troll. But the actual answer is it’s both. He dropped it as a throwaway line but his clinical narcissism does not allow him to believe any idea of his is less than perfect and brilliant, so he’s become committed to it

Bills advance to face the refs in the AFC Championship

Thanks,
