www.businessinsider.com/luigi-mangio... After Brian Thompson’s murder, @unitedhealthcare.sa.com warned employees not wear clothing with the UHC logo in public. The fear this caused them does not rise to the level of “terrorism” under NY law, lawyers for #luigi argue. @businessinsider.com

www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump... Excellent story today by Jack Newsham and Jacob Shamsian — showing these Big Law EOs have had the opposite impact Trump intended. @businessinsider.com @jayshams.bsky.social

Donald Trump went after one of America's top law firms. Its decision to fight back took just two hours.

More than a month into Trump's war on Big Law, there is little evidence the four firms who chose to fight have suffered serious consequences.

www.businessinsider.com/new-york-cit... “What we are witnessing today is not normal,” says the president of New York City’s Bar Association. “And it must not be normalized.”

We sat with 350 lawyers as they strategized against Trump. Big Law was absent — but Smaller Law is itching to fight.

Hundreds of lawyers brainstormed ways to stand up to Trump — and how to stiffen the spines of lawyers facing pressure from his administration.

www.businessinsider.com/trump-pardon... Former DOJ pardon attorney Margaret Love takes this opportunity to remind us all of Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

A judge found probable cause to hold the administration in criminal contempt. A Trump pardon would make it all go away.

Sure, a judge found cause to hold the administration in criminal contempt. But a Trump pardon would void any real consequences.

www.businessinsider.com/hedge-fund-f... From stock cars to stock fraud? Looking forward to covering this little-noticed case going to trial in Manhattan this week, barring a last minute plea. The trial will have a NASCAR backdrop — and some known names in racing will have cameos. #NASCAR
