Has Trump used up all the free hours of legal offense & defense given to him by Law firms that sold out to avoid his attacks? What's he going to do when there are no more hours? Badger those lawyers for more? Here's an idea - stop criming felon. You'll always have Bitch Bondi after all.

“Death Cult Republicans” or "American Democracy Warriors" The questions remain, what is American Democracy worth? Not just to we Americans, but to our human world. And the world is watching. #StochasticTerrorists #DeathCultRepublicans #YourDishonorWillRemain #VoteForDemocracy

And he has found a bunch of allies, thankfully. 👏👏👏👏

UPDATE: Rachel Cohen @cohen489.bsky.social and Brenna Frey—two former Skadden associates who resigned over the law firm’s response to Trump’s executive orders targeting lawyers—are joining a new firm launched by Abbe Lowell, the high-profile criminal defense attorney who represented Hunter Biden.

This is so important. Lawyers are a huge part of effective resistance to this dolt. C'mon, folks, he's got no legal standing on these stupid executive orders against law firms, and he has to beat you on your turf. Nail his hide to the wall!

I'm hoping to see many former colleagues sprinting to this new law firm. It's now or never - Lowell, are you accepting volunteers from across the board to get this firm up & running? Hit me up! 🚫Fascism🚫Trump🚫1930
