Jackie Perczek, another of Black’s law partners, said she learned from him that it was a lawyer’s duty to “fiercely battle the oppressors and support the underdog.”
Article includes lots of famous, rich, powerful clients, then throws this quote in. Perhaps my understanding of the word “underdog” is really different.
Hmmm I mean there is a bit of a rise in right-wing populist movements across Europe but not sure it’s quite trumpian yet. No masked Gestapo bundling people into vans and concentration camps, mainly hotels… AFAIK

“Sometimes, you know, stealth, they do stealth,” Trump said. “I’m not a huge believer in stealth, because stealth is basically, a lot of it’s the design and the shape. … You’re going to design an ugly plane for stealth reasons. And then six months later, they’re going to figure out this, and then you’re stuck with a plane.”
Trump’s new stance on stealth differed from remarks he made during his first administration, when he repeatedly extolled the F-35’s stealth capabilities.

Last year Thiel said there was “no one better positioned” to build products at the intersection of AI and finance.

Commissioner Werfel emphasized that most Americans, particularly middle- and low-income taxpayers as well as small business owners, will not experience a significant increase in audits. Instead, by prioritizing high-wealth individuals, large corporations, and intricate partnerships, the IRS aims to target its resources where they can have the most significant impact
So, trump’s trying to get people to panic sell so his friends can buy things up cheap?
