Breaking news: Trump just eliminated NOAA's research budget. (I assume comment on this is also unnecessary because he ordered it done.) He is dismantling government piece by piece. He's cut billions of dollars of research at universities on his whim. A headline at WaPo (I can't bear to read the article) indicates more law firms have caved. And he's defied the judge's order to update the court today on his efforts to bring Abrego Garcia back.

The most ominous of his actions are the rendition of immigrants to El Salvador without due process and the detention of foreign students for their campus speech. This makes us a police state, not a nation of laws.

Five more big law firms reach deals with Trump. Pro bono? For the good of what?

Spinelessness is not a quality to be admired in a legal advocate.
