How A Few Law Associates Revealed The Power Of Resigning From Firms That Cut Deals With Trump

Attorneys leave firmscowardly

When the law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison announced on March 20 it had entered into a deal with President Donald Trump to make an executive order targeting the firm go away, Rachel Cohen, a third year associate at another law firm, Skadden Arps, announced her resignation.

Like Paul, Weiss, Skadden was targeted by the Trump administration with a letter threatening an investigation by the Equal Employment & Opportunity Commission over its alleged Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policies. After seeing Paul, Weiss bend the knee and being stonewalled by partners at Skadden about how the firm intended to respond to the EEOC letter, Cohen decided to take a stand.

“I resigned because I anticipated that my own firm’s lack of response was indicative of their willingness to cut a deal with the Trump administration if need be,” she said.

Cohen was right. Before Trump even issued an executive order punishing the firm, Skadden cut its own deal on March 28.

Republicans Unveil Medicaid Cuts For 'Big, Beautiful Bill'

Medicaid billHouse Republicans released the first draft of their legislation cutting Medicaid to help pay for $5 trillion of tax cuts in what President Donald Trump calls the “big, beautiful bill” at the center of his domestic policy agenda.

The legislation would impose new limits on Medicaid benefits to unemployed adults and require more frequent eligibility checks as part of a reform package that would save $715 billion on federal health spending over a decade, according to a preliminary analysis by the Congressional Budget Office.

“When so many Americans who are truly in need rely on Medicaid for life-saving services, Washington can’t afford to undermine the program further by subsidizing capable adults who choose not to work,” House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Brett Guthrie (R-Ky.) said in a Wall Street Journal op-ed accompanying the bill release.

The legislation, which also includes changes to health insurance rules under the Affordable Care Act, would result in 8.6 million fewer Americans having health care coverage a decade from now, per the CBO analysis. Republican committee aides disputed the CBO analysis but did not provide a separate estimate of the bill’s impacts.

'Do you like Hamas?' Political commentator Hasan Piker says he was stopped at airport

Hasan PikePopular online political commentator Hasan Piker was stopped and questioned by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents in Chicago as he was returning to the United States from France, Piker said on his Twitch broadcast on Monday.

A U.S. citizen born in New Jersey, Piker has 2.8 million followers on Twitch and is a prominent leftist political commentator. On Monday, he said he was taken to a private room inside Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport on Sunday.

He said he was questioned about his political views and his political commentary on his social media accounts. Piker said that he was stopped for questioning despite being enrolled in the government's Global Entry program, which normally expedites re-entry to the United States.

"They straight up tried to get something out of me that I think they could use to basically detain me permanently,” Piker said. "(The agent) kept saying stuff like, 'Do you like Hamas? Do you support Hamas? Do you think Hamas is a terror group or a resistance group?'”

DOJ official who defended Trump in hush money trial now also leading Library of Congress

Todd Blanche

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche is wearing another hat for the Trump administration, taking over as the acting librarian of Congress after the firing of Carla Hayden.

Blanche had been President Donald Trump’s criminal defense lawyer before becoming the second-ranking official inside the Justice Department.

Now Blanche has a second job following Trump's May 8 ouster of Hayden, the first Black librarian of Congress, over concerns about her focus on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

"We felt she did not fit the needs of the American people,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters May 9. “There were quite concerning things that she had done at the Library of Congress in the pursuit of DEI and putting inappropriate books in the library for children.”

Atmospheric event to hit sw US

A jet stream over the Gulf of Mexico will likely reach an area it doesn't typically hit: the Southeastern United States.

Beginning this weekend into Monday and Tuesday, widespread rainfall across the region could result in 4 to 6 inches of rain, the National Weather Service said. Isolated spots are expected to see as much as 12 inches of rain.

Florida, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina are forecast to see most of the effects of the atmospheric river.

The chances of rain in the area "will increase later this weekend, with the potential for heavy rainfall Monday through Tuesday, which could result in flooding," the NWS said early Saturday.

Quakers march 300 miles to protest Trump’s immigration crackdown

Quakers march

A group of Quakers were marching more than 300 miles from New York City to Washington DC to demonstrate against the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigrants.

The march extends a long tradition of Quaker activism. Historically, Quakers have been involved in peaceful protests to end wars and slavery, and support women’s voting rights in line with their commitment to justice and peace. Far more recently, Quakers sued the federal government earlier this year over immigration agents’ ability to make arrests at houses of worship.

Organizers of the march say their protest seeks to show solidarity with migrants and other groups that are being targeted by Donald Trump’s second presidency.

Hamas says it will release last living American hostage in Gaza

Edan Alexander

Hamas announced on Sunday that it will release the last living American hostage in Gaza, Edan Alexander, an Israeli-American soldier who was kidnapped on 7 October 2023.

Donald Trump confirmed the news in a social media post, writing that Alexander, 21, “is coming home to his family”.

“This was a step taken in good faith towards the United States and the efforts of the mediators — Qatar and Egypt — to put an end to this very brutal war and return ALL living hostages and remains to their loved ones,” the US president added.

The captive’s release is set to take place on Tuesday, Reuters reports, citing a source familiar with the matter.

Trump begins a trip to the Middle East the same day, although there is no stop in Israel on his schedule as of yet. The president is set to visit Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.

Qatar Says No Final Decision Made On Gifting Trump A Jet To Use As Air Force One

Qatar jet gift to Trump

President Donald Trump reportedly is ready to accept a luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet as a gift from the ruling family of Qatar during his trip to the Middle East this coming week, and U.S. officials say it could be converted into a potential presidential aircraft.

The Qatari government acknowledged discussions between the two countries about “the possible transfer” of a plane to be used temporarily as Trump’s Air Force One, but denied that the jet “is being gifted” or that a final decision had been made.

ABC News reported that Trump will use the aircraft as his presidential plane until shortly before he leaves office in January 2029, when ownership will be transferred to the foundation overseeing his yet-to-be-built presidential library.

The gift was expected to be announced when Trump visits Qatar, according to ABC’s report, as part of a trip that also includes stops in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, the first extended foreign travel of his second term.
