- Doug Emhoff Urged His Law Firm to Fight Trump’s Threats — They Bent the Knee Anyway: Report
AP Photo/Evan Vucci Willkie Farr & Gallagher, the law firm that employs Doug Emhoff, the former Second Gentleman and husband of former Vice President Kamala Harris, became the latest white-shoe firm to bend the knee to President Donald Trump — despite Emhoff’s efforts to dissuade them. Since the beginning of his second term, Trump has issued a series of executive orders targeting multiple BigLaw firms by name. Some of those firms have caved, like Paul Weiss and last week Skadden Arps, offering swift compliance with Trump’s decrees and millions of dollars of pro bono legal work to appease the presidential fury. Some firms dug in their heels and refused to yield, even filing lawsuits to defend their rights. Perkins Coie was the first targeted firm to file a complaint, and was followed by two more firms last Friday, Jenner & Block LLP and WilmerHale, spelling out how Trump’s executive orders infringed… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - Trump Set to Meet With Top Aides to Decide TikTok’s Fate

Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call via AP Images Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) lashed out at fellow Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) on Tuesday after Luna voted with Democrats in favor of remote voting for mothers of young children. “I can’t believe that Congress was hijacked this week over Luna’s resolution to allow members to skip work and vote from home,” protested Greene in a social media post: As a mom, I know all about seasons of life. If you aren’t capable of doing the job your constituents sent you to do, then you should step aside and let someone else do it. We have critical bills to pass to prevent illegals from voting and to stop judges from vetoing President Trump’s agenda. It’s a shame that selfish politicians are putting themselves before the American people. Greene also lashed out at Luna – a new mother – in a video,… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - GOP Strategist Scott Jennings Implores House Republicans: ‘Try Not to Die’
Scott Jennings offered some advice to House Republicans looking to enact President Donald Trump’s agenda. Jennings was part of CNN’s election coverage on Tuesday night as returns rolled in from two special elections for vacant congressional seats in Florida. Republicans won both but ran well behind last year’s Republican showings. In Florida’s 1st, former Chief Financial Officer of Florida, Jimmy Patronis won by about 14 percentage points and will replace former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who resigned to focus on his ill-fated nomination as U.S. attorney general. Gaetz won reelection last year by 32 percentage points. In Florida’s 6th, former state Sen. Randy Fine won by about 14 percentage points in a district former Rep. Mike Waltz (R) won by 33 points in November. Waltz resigned the seat to serve as National Security Advisor. When Patronis and Fine take their seats, the GOP will have a 220-213 majority in… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - Man Given Clemency by Trump Arrested for Fourth Time Since Being Freed – This Time for Allegedly S...
A man whose sentence was commuted by President Donald Trump in 2021 was arrested for punching a man in the face and shoving the man’s three-year-old child to the ground. In the waning hours of his first term, Trump commuted the 10-year prison sentence of Jonathan Braun, who had been convicted for his role in a marijuana smuggling operation. According to The New York Times, Braun’s family used a connection to Charles Kushner – whose son Jared Kushner served as a White House adviser in Trump’s first term – to secure the commutation. Charles Kushner, who was convicted of tax evasion and witness tampering, received a pardon from Trump in December 2020. Trump has nominated the elder Kushner to be U.S. ambassador to France. The Times reported: On Saturday, Mr. Braun, a major player in the predatory lending business, was arrested on Long Island on charges of assaulting an… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Cory Booker Shatters Senate Record for Longest Floor Speech, Surpasses Infamous Filibuster Against C...Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) set the record for the longest floor speech in the U.S. Senate on Tuesday. In doing so, he eclipsed a filibuster by Sen. Strom Thurmond (D-SC), who spoke for 24 hours and 18 minutes against the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Booker’s marathon speech was not in opposition to a particular piece of legislation. As such, it’s not technically a filibuster. Rather, he used the time to rail against President Donald Trump, White House adviser Elon Musk, and the broader Trump agenda. By the time he concluded his speech, Booker had held the floor for 25 hours and five minutes. “I rise with the intention of disrupting the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able,” Booker said to begin his speech on Monday evening. “I rise tonight because I believe sincerely that our country is in crisis.”… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
