New in PN: Trump's hostile takeover of big law
"Paul, Weiss is now in the same boat as Columbia, constantly needing the administration’s approval to stave off new shakedowns. But the administration, like any bully, will keep attacking, will keep changing the terms, and no acquiescence will ever be sufficient. That’s exactly why bending the knee is such a bad idea." publicnotice.co/p/paul-weiss-t…

They might not make NBC or CNN, but Americans *are* protesting. In record numbers.
Twice as many protests in 2025 compared to 2017. They’re simply smaller and more local than the large, centralized, single day events of early 2017.
And economic noncooperation movements are ramping up. The article links to reports Target’s foot traffics was down over 10% on days boycotts were called for.
And this was published before the congressional recess. Many groups are hosting empty chair town halls for their no-show Republican Reoublicans. They’re standing room only, in red districts.
