Today, President Donald J. Trump and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP announce the following agreement regarding a series of actions to be taken by Skadden:
1. Skadden will provide a total of at least $100 Million Dollars in pro bono Legal Services, during the Trump Administration and beyond, to causes that the President and Skadden both support, in relation to the following areas: Assisting Veterans and other Public Servants, including members of the Military, Law Enforcement, First Responders, and Federal, State, and Local Government Officials; ensuring fairness in our Justice System; and combatting Antisemitism. Skadden will change its pro bono policy so that all pro bono moving forward will be done in the Firm name. A pro bono Committee will be constituted to ensure that pro bono matters are consistent with the objectives of the program, and that pro bono activities represent the full political spectrum.
2. The Skadden Foundation will commit to the mission of providing pro bono Legal Services to a wide variety of deserving organizations and individuals. Skadden is committed to funding no fewer than five Skadden Fellows each year dedicated to the following projects: Assisting Veterans; ensuring fairness in our Justice System; combatting Antisemitism, and other similar types of projects. Law Graduates that receive Skadden Fellowships will represent a wide range of political views, including conservative ideals.
3. Skadden affirms its commitment to merit-based hiring, promotion, and retention. Accordingly, the Firm will not engage in illegal DEI discrimination and preferences. Skadden will engage independent outside counsel to advise the Firm to ensure employment practices are fully compliant with Law, including, but not limited to, anti-discrimination Laws.
4. Skadden will not deny representation to clients, such as members of politically disenfranchised groups, who have not historically received legal representation from major National Law Firms, including in pro bono matters, and in support of non-profits, because of the personal political views of individual lawyers.
Statement From the White House: “Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP approached President Trump and his Administration, and declared the Firm’s strong commitment to ending the Weaponization of the Justice System and the Legal Profession. The President will never stop fighting to deliver on his promises of eradicating partisan Lawfare in America, and restoring Liberty & Justice for ALL.”
Statement From Skadden Executive Partner, Jeremy London: “Skadden is pleased to have achieved a successful agreement with President Trump and his Administration. We engaged proactively with the President and his team in working together constructively to reach this agreement. The Firm looks forward to continuing our productive relationship with President Trump and his Admin. We firmly believe that this outcome is in the best interests of our clients, our people, and our Firm.”
Its come to this. Dunkin Donuts are twice the cost of Walmart bakery donuts, and the Walmart donuts are easily and by far better tasting and actually fresh. The Dunkin Donuts typically taste so stale, like they were baked in China and sat in a warehouse for a week.

More on this scandal, which is being ignored by the MSM
– Democrats did give MILLIONS of illegals Social Security Numbers
– They were REGISTERING TO VOTE – Elon Musk has confirmation THEY DID VOTE
– Democrats qualified illegals for MAX SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS
– They enrolled in Medicaid with their new Social Security Numbers
“Then you’ll notice there’s a strange, what jumped out at us when we saw these numbers. We’re like, what is this? In 2021, you see 270,000 people, it goes all the way to 2.1 million and 2024. These are non-citizens that are getting social security numbers. This is a mind-blowing charge. This literally blew us away.” “If I hadn’t seen this myself, I’m not sure I believed it. I went through it myself and mapped it. And Elon is right. This is true. The defaults in the system from social security to all of the benefit programs have been set to max inclusion, MAX PAY for these people and minimum collection. We found 1.3 million of them already on Medicaid as an example. We’ve gone through on every benefit program we went through, we found groups from this particular group of people, this 5.5 million people in those benefit programs. And then what was really, really disturbing us was why we’re asking ourselves why. So we actually just took a sample and looked at voter registration records and we found people here registered to vote in this population. Yes. Who did vote? We found some by sampling that ACTUALLY DID VOTE. We have referred them to prosecution at the Homeland Security Investigation Service. Yeah. Already, already. That is already happening right now. The truly disturbing thing though, I just want you to know this, a truly disturbing thing to me, and the darkest thing about this, to me, the voter fraud is terrible.”

A bagel and lox without capers is like a pizza without cheese to an ex-NYer. If II was Jewish, telling me to eat a bagel and lox without them would be like calling someone a Nazi.

Happy Days are here again for the conspiracy theorists!
“Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre says she has only FOUR DAYS to live after being hit by a bus Giuffre has accused Prince Andrew of repeatedly r*ping her, via Epstein, as a teen. She’s suffering from kidney failure following the wreck.”
Title 8 chicon. I threw the judge comment in as a side note just to stir up the free passers, who heard illegal immigration.
Boso still erred because he took a case when he was not the presiding night judge. Moreover, it involves habeus corpus. Those must be heard in Texas in this case. Moreover, he cannot class action habeus corpus cases.
I would strip him of his security clearance because of his Fisa court actions; his cover up of Hillary’s emails; his treatment of j6 victims; and his block and covering for federal asset, Ray Epps.
So China blocked the $23 billion sale of dozens of ports near the Panama Canal, yet I was reliably informed by the mainstream media that Trump’s claims that Panama violated the treaty were baseless. TAKE BACK THE CANAL.
BREAKING: Judge Edward Chen in California just BLOCKED the Trump administration from canceling legal status for 350,000 Venezuelans, saying the decision appeared rooted in “racial discrimination” by Trump and Noem. Chen was appointed by Barack Obama.
“They supplied coordinates to the Ukrainians on Russian targets from a base in Wiesbaden. They supplied mobile artillery units called HIMARS for satellite-guided rockets on Russian targets with American troops calling every shot. They put boots on the ground, and more boots on the ground, calling them “subject matter experts.” They dispatched the U.S. Navy to share targeting information on Russian warships beyond Ukrainian waters — when Ukraine sank Russia’s flagship battleship without a navy, through drones, that was what was going on. They targeted Crimea and through sustained firepower chased the Russians out.”
Jan, Biden (the Hero of Ukraine) should have done much more of that much earlier. He also should have told Putin he was going to do so before the invasion.
Alas, he was a moron, despite allegedly being great on Ukraine.
Fla2025 – great synopsis by the Hill opinion piece about the circumstances leading up to the Russian/Ukrainian War. I know Zelenskyy fans, however, will “zzzzz” it, no matter how factual it really is.
Watching a CSpan show on Reagan. The Cult would hate listening to first inaugural speech. It was upbeat, sought to broaden his appeal and did not trash Carter. He looked forward and not back.
