      That’s amazing. This is what the democrats need to be doing as well. No more picking and choosing. Fuck the fascists.

    Last two paragraphs are interesting.

    The order comes at the end of a rocky week for the field of law. On Thursday, one of the country’s top law firms, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, brokered a deal (NTY Gift Link) with the White House in order to spare the firm from an executive order that suspended security clearances for lawyers and staff.

    As part of the deal, according to a post from Trump on social media, the firm “will dedicate the equivalent of $40 million in pro bono legal services over the course of President Trump’s term to support the administration’s initiatives, including: assisting our nation’s veterans, fairness in the justice system, the president’s Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, and other mutually agreed projects.”

    We should keep this firm and the work they do over the next four years in the spotlight.

      Yay more corruption.

      Forcing them to give $40m in free labor or lose their security clearance.

        The only way this can be ok is if they bill $40million an hour for services to fascists. Then send all six partners in for 10 minutes and be done with it.

        Would be a decent troll, but probably they’re just corrupt assholes like the rest of them.

          Bar would suspend all licenses in this firm if that happened sadly. But I like this idea.

          Trump just put the firm on retainer to fight his battles. This is the end game.

    The regime that frequently projects their own crimes onto their opponents is starting to throw “election integrity” into their handbook. Voting is going to be the next big step in the coup.

      Next?

      They’ve been messing with it every step of the way. They’re just being more obvious with it
