Judge blocks CIA, DNI from firing DEI staffers under Trump order

Trump firing DEI staff blockedA federal judge on Monday blocked the Trump administration from firing 19 staffers at the CIA and Office of the Director of National Intelligence who'd worked on initiatives for diversity, equity and inclusion programs, which President Donald Trump had ordered terminated.

U.S. District Judge Anthony Trenga in eastern Virginia rejected the request for a temporary block on Trump’s policy on Feb. 27, ruling the staffers could ask for reassignment.But the CIA said the staffers had no right of review over their firings.

Trenga shifted course Monday, deciding the intelligence staffers deserved the opportunity to appeal their firings and to be considered for other jobs.

Kevin Carroll, a lawyer representing the staffers and a former CIA caseworker, said ODNI "to their credit" had offered to consider two of the staffers for transfers but CIA refused.

FCC chair opens investigation into Disney and ABC over DEI practices

FCC goes after Disney

Brendan Carr, who was picked by President Trump to chair the Federal Communications Commission, said he's ordering an investigation into the Walt Disney Co. and its ABC television network over concerns that they are "promoting invidious forms of DEI discrimination," referring to diversity, equity and inclusion practices.

In a letter to Disney CEO Robert Iger, Carr said the FCC's Enforcement Bureau will review whether Disney or ABC have violated any FCC equal employment opportunity regulations. He added that the probe will apply to both past and current policies.

"Numerous reports indicate that Disney's leadership went all in on invidious forms of DEI discrimination a few years ago and apparently did so in a manner that infected many aspects of your company's decisions," Carr wrote on Thursday.

Trump signs order on Washington DC as Republicans exert control over city

Trump takes over DC

Washington DC has found itself in the crosshairs of Donald Trump and congressional Republicans in recent weeks, with efforts by both to exert more control over the overwhelmingly Democratic capital city.

The president on Thursday signed an executive order he said would make Washington DC “safe, beautiful, and prosperous” by stepping up crime fighting, arrests of undocumented immigrants and the processing of permits to carry concealed weapons. Trump separately directed JD Vance to “remove improper ideology” from the Smithsonian Institution, which has many museums in and around the city.

Weeks earlier, Republicans in Congress approved a $1bn cut to the city’s budget that the mayor, Muriel Bowser, warned would result in disruptive cuts to police, schools and health services. The Senate quickly scrambled to undo the reduction, an effort Trump has since endorsed, but it was unclear when the House of Representatives would act.

Law Firm Skadden Chooses To Surrender To Trump

law firm folds to trumpPresident Donald Trump announced on Friday that the law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP preemptively cut a deal with the administration to ward off the potential threat of an executive order targeting the firm.

The deal requires the firm to provide $100 million in pro bono services to the Trump administration, Trump said during a White House appearance. A spokesperson for Skadden did not immediately respond to a request for comment or confirmation on the deal.

Skadden joins the New York powerhouse firm Paul Weiss in choosing to surrender to the Trump administration amid threats to their ability to access government contracts and maintain clients with such contracts. Unlike the situation with Paul Weiss, Trump did not even need to issue an executive order to get the firm to bend the knee.

Three other firms targeted by Trump — Perkins Coie, WilmerHale and Jenner & Block — have filed lawsuits challenging the orders targeting them. A federal district court judge already placed a temporary restraining order blocking Trump’s actions against Perkins Coie, saying that it “sent little chills down my spine.”
