Trump’s Attacks on Big Law, Universities, and the Media Have a Common Goal: Silence Dissent Against Authoritarian Rule
The New York Times’ Sunday, March 23 newspaper featured a lead story on how the 1,000-lawyer
By Pam Martens and Russ Martens, wallstreetonparade.com
The New York Times’ Sunday, March 23 newspaper featured a lead story on how the 1,000-lawyer Big Law firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, a Wall Street favorite, had caved to threats in a Presidential Action from Donald Trump, which would have banned lawyers at the firm from entering federal buildings; from reviewing classified documents for their clients by stripping them of security clearance; and effectively blacklisting the firm as a member of Donald Trump’s enemy list.
The Chair of Paul Weiss, Brad Karp, negotiated with Trump and got the order rescinded by agreeing to spend $40 million in pro bono work on projects amenable to Trump — along with other subservient concessions…

by Veronika Kyrylenko
President Donald Trump has nominated Dr. Susan Monarez, currently the acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), for CDC director. This decision comes after the withdrawal of his initial nominee, Dr. David Weldon, a former Florida congressman known for his anti-establishment stance in medicine. Weldon’s nomination was reportedly retracted due to insufficient support in the Senate.
Monarez’s nomination has raised concerns among those who believe the CDC has strayed from its stated mission, particularly in the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement. Critics argue that her extensive background within the federal health bureaucracy and a heavy focus on technology-driven biosecurity suggests a continuation of the status quo rather than the long-overdue reform…
