Welcome to record: Today, I focus on strong private institutions to promote Donald Trump’s demands, and a law firm proves another way forward.
What’s the latest? Donald Trump Free legal work worth $40 million About the cause favored by the Trump administration. Trump’s order revoked the company’s security permit and attempted to terminate its federal contract because it sued the Jan. 6 mob and because a former partner had worked in the Trump prosecution case.
Is this normal? No, but it is part of a trend in which strong private sector institutions succumb to Trump’s threat to business. Columbia University Justice Submit to Trump’s request back He threatens $400 million in federal funding. and universities across the country Take similar steps Protect your own funds.
What other options do they have? fight. Perkins Coie is another company’s security license, which Trump targets. And, last week, a federal judge temporarily blocked the government From executing Trump’s orderfound that it may have violated the company’s First, Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights. (In response, today’s Trump administration Try to get the judge to start the case)
What is the overall situation? These are powerful institutions with abundant resources. Yes, they are still stronger than the federal government, and yes, they have a lot of losses.

But if the rule of law is replaced by a system in which the president can take advantage of a system in which the federal government can pursue individual vendetta and enforce its agenda, then we all will lose more.
So, it’s time to log in… I really like this (very brief) about a Dutch initiative that helps people enjoy something soothing online – in this case watching fish swim and also involved in a small part of environmentalism.
