The Washington Post · Trump says Doug Emhoff’s law firm latest to strike a deal with himBy Mark Berman

#lawyers #surrender #endofjustice #nightmare #legalbutchery

Trump eviscerating the legal world in the US. Fucking nightmare.

Skadden joins the New York powerhouse firm Paul Weiss in choosing to surrender to the Trump administration amid threats to their ability to access government contracts and maintain clients with such contracts. Unlike the situation with Paul Weiss, Trump did not even need to issue an executive order to get the firm to bend the knee.

Three other firms targeted by Trump — Perkins Coie, WilmerHale and Jenner & Block — have filed lawsuits challenging the orders targeting them. A federal district court judge already placed a temporary restraining order blocking Trump’s actions against Perkins Coie, saying that it “sent little chills down my spine.”

“Surrendering to Authoritarianism”

by Chris Hedges in The Chris Hedges Report on Substack

“Liberal institutions, including universities, traditionally surrender without a fight to the dictates of autocrats. Ours are no exception”

#Putin thanked #Trump and effectively #refused a #ceasefire. #Moscow openly #rejected the #US-#Ukraine 30-day #truce #proposal, calling it a tactic for #Ukrainian regrouping.

Putin demanded #surrender of Ukraine’s forces in #Kursk and elimination of the ‘root causes’:

1. Ukraine’s desire for #independence.
2. The #EU membership.
3. And #NATO aspirations.

It's partially aligning with Trump's stance.

Dear MSM,

Führer Trump has not ‘pivoted’ on Ukraine.

He has pivoted toward his master like an iron filing to a controlling magnet.

What he's done to Ukraine is a stab in the back.

His aim is the subjugation of Ukraine because he’s a Russian asset to Putin now—the West is dead to him, along with democracy and the US constitution.

Fuck you and your tender, ‘balanced’ nonsense.

Say it properly.
