I see a lot of articles saying how President Trump is attacking law firms in Washington DC because he is vindictive. When in fact, it has nothing to do with being vindictive, and everything to do with the fact that they are acting like an extension of the Democratic Party.
This web shows how elite law firms in DC have become de facto political actors, coordinating with bureaucrats, Democratic campaigns, and activist groups to advance one side’s agenda while insulating allies from legal consequences.

🧵🧵The Alliance for Justice — Soros-Funded, Biden-Approved, Judiciary Captured
Biden’s judicial picks didn’t come from nowhere. They were vetted, groomed, and promoted by a radical legal machine fueled by dark money — led by Soros.
1. What is the Alliance for Justice (AFJ)?
Founded in 1979, AFJ is a progressive legal coalition of 130+ activist orgs. It exists to turn the federal judiciary into a Democrat policy enforcement wing — one lifetime appointment at a time.
🧵🚨🚨 We, as in President Trump and America First supporters need to get serious about the midterms. Like now.
Here is what the Democratic Party is doing now to get ready for the midterms:
1/ The Democratic Party is undertaking a significant effort to regain support among working-class voters, a demographic where they’ve seen declining support.
The “Working Class Project,” led by Mitch Landrieu and housed within American Bridge 21st Century, is conducting extensive research—including polling and focus groups—across 21 states to understand voter shifts, particularly among white, Latino, and Black voters earning under $100,000 annually.
This initiative aims to reshape the party’s messaging to better resonate with these communities.
It includes:
Research Scope: Conducting extensive polling, focus groups, and interviews in 21 states, including battlegrounds, Democratic-leaning, and Republican strongholds.
•Target Demographics: Focusing on white, Latino, and Black voters earning under $100,000 annually, a demographic that has shown a shift towards Republican candidates in recent elections.
•Methodology: Engaging in deep listening through community meetings, interviews with labor and faith leaders, and analyzing media consumption habits to craft resonant messaging.
•Public Engagement: Launching a Substack newsletter to share weekly findings and analyses, fostering transparency and ongoing dialogue with the public.
This project is being led by Mitch Landrieu former U.S. Senior Advisor to President Joe Biden for infrastructure implementation. He is known as a moderate.
2/ Looking for new talent
Democratic Party is embracing a generational shift in its leadership and trying to replace the old guard with the new:
•Youth Engagement: Appointing David Hogg as DNC vice-chair to spearhead efforts in connecting with younger voters through authentic and proactive social media strategies.
•Candidate Support: Launching a $20 million initiative to support younger challengers against older Democratic incumbents in safely blue districts, aiming to infuse new energy and ideas into the party.
🧵🧵 Qatar bribery scandals: How A Country with 330,000 citizens is involved in bribing government officials all over the world.
Not enough people talk about the immense power Qatar wields around the world.
Just how many politicians do they own? And why is no one talking about it?
1/ Afghanistan Bribery Scandal
In early 2023, reports emerged alleging that Qatar paid substantial bribes to prominent Afghan leaders shortly before the Taliban’s takeover of Kabul in August 2021. According to leaked documents cited by Italian media and reported by Khaama Press and The Kootneeti, the following payments were made on July 7, 2021:
•$110 million to former President Ashraf Ghani, received through his representative, Ajmal Ahmadi, then head of Afghanistan’s central bank.
•$51 million to Marshal Abdul Rashid Dostum, via his envoy Farahmand Babur, in exchange for withdrawing forces from northern provinces like Faryab and Jawzjan.
•$61 million to Atta Mohammad Noor, former governor of Balkh province, through his representative Mohammad Farhad Azimi.
The documents suggest these payments were intended to discourage resistance against the Taliban’s advance. Five weeks later, the Taliban entered Kabul without significant opposition, and the aforementioned leaders fled the country.
In January 2024, U.S. Senator Bob Menendez faced additional federal charges alleging he accepted bribes to advance the interests of Qatar, supplementing earlier accusations related to Egypt.
Prosecutors claimed that Menendez received luxury items—including gold bars, cash, designer watches, and Formula One tickets—in exchange for using his political influence to benefit a New Jersey developer seeking investments from Qatari officials.
🧵 THREAD: The Truth About the Senate Hearing on DOGE & the Social Security “Crisis”
1/ Today, the Senate held a high-profile hearing targeting the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk under President Trump. Whistleblowers accused DOGE of causing tech failures & mismanagement at the SSA.
But here’s the part they aren’t telling you…
2/ The exact same types of SSA failures—site crashes, long wait times, data errors—occurred repeatedly between 2021–2024. Not only were these problems ignored, but no major oversight hearings were ever convened by Democrats to address them.
Receipts below:
3/ Claim 1: DOGE caused SSA website crashes.
In March 2025, the SSA site reportedly crashed 5 times in one month. AARP raised concerns.
Source: Newsweek
4/ But this is not new.
From 2021–2024, the SSA site suffered at least 50 user-reported outages—often due to its outdated 1979 mainframe system. These are well-documented on platforms like Downdetector and acknowledged in SSA reports.
1/ Background: Qatar hired Global Risk Advisors (GRA), led by ex-CIA officer Kevin Chalker, to enhance its global image, secure the 2022 World Cup, and sway U.S. policy. GRA’s alleged tactics included espionage, hacking, and covert ops.
2/ The Campaign: GRA ran projects like “Project Riverbed” and “Project ENDGAME” to target Qatar’s critics—FIFA officials, U.S. lawmakers (e.g., Sen. Ted Cruz), and those opposing Qatar’s Muslim Brotherhood ties. Methods included surveillance and “honeypot” schemes.
3/ Project ENDGAME Exposed: ENDGAME was a covert GRA operation to neutralize Qatar’s adversaries. It allegedly involved hacking, disinformation, and recruiting ex-intelligence operatives to monitor and discredit figures like Elliott Broidy, a GOP fundraiser critical of Qatar.
The United Nations: A Record of Scandal, Abuse, and Unaccountability
I. Financial Waste & Corruption
1. Oil-for-Food Program Scandal (1996–2003)
•Overview: Designed to allow Iraq to sell oil in exchange for humanitarian goods under sanctions.
•Fraud & Corruption: Saddam Hussein exploited the program, extracting $21.3 billion in illegal kickbacks and bribes from companies and governments.
•UN Complicity:
•Benon Sevan, head of the program, accepted bribes.
•The UN failed to monitor contracts, and the internal audit was buried until congressional pressure revealed it.
•Impact: One of the largest scandals in UN history — and a warning about giving international bodies unchecked power over economic flows.
2. Chronic Budget Mismanagement
•UN internal audits and reports repeatedly show:
•Inflated staff costs and redundancy
•Mission bloat in peacekeeping operations
•Buildings leased at above-market rates in Geneva and New York
•Despite these inefficiencies, the U.S. pays ~22% of the UN’s core budget and ~25% of peacekeeping costs, with minimal oversight on where that money goes.
II. Human Rights Failures and Coverups
1. UN Peacekeeper Sexual Abuse Epidemic
•Haiti (2004–2017):
•UN troops ran child sex rings, trading food and medicine for sex with girls as young as 12.
•No prosecutions for over 100 implicated peacekeepers.
•Democratic Republic of the Congo:
•UN troops accused of raping hundreds of women and girls — often repeat offenders.
•Investigators found a pattern of “rotation” — where accused troops were simply reassigned.
•UN Response: Repeated promises of reform, but accountability remains virtually nonexistent.
2. Haiti Cholera Outbreak (2010)
•Introduced by Nepalese UN troops who dumped raw sewage into rivers.
•Result: 10,000+ Haitians dead, over 800,000 sickened.
•For years, the UN denied responsibility, until 2016 when it finally acknowledged a role — but never offered direct compensation to victims.
III. Institutional Hypocrisy & Protection of Authoritarian States
1. UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC)
•Regularly chaired or populated by regimes with dismal human rights records:
•China: Holds a seat despite genocide accusations (Uyghurs).
•Venezuela, Cuba, Qatar: Also elected to the Council.
•Voting Record:
•UNHRC passed more resolutions condemning Israel than North Korea, Iran, Syria, and Russia combined from 2006–2020.
•These authoritarian governments face no comparable scrutiny, thanks to bloc voting by Islamic and non-aligned states.
2. Silencing Whistleblowers
•UN whistleblowers who exposed sexual abuse or fraud have been fired, demoted, or blacklisted.
•Examples include Anders Kompass, who leaked a report about child rape by peacekeepers in the Central African Republic.
•Internal UN ethics offices often side with management, leaving no recourse for staff who report wrongdoing.
