Pre-Trump, it was the best place to get complex litigation experience right out of the gate. Once you did a few years at DOJ you were very attractive to biglaw, boutiques, you name it. If they see DOJ they know you have top credentials and good experience working in high volume, high stakes litigation.
Now? Absolutely radioactive to employers. Most will file your resume in the circular filing bin unless you have a connection there that can vouch for you that you never misled the court, ignored court orders, made unsupported or unconstitutional arguments, etc.
Heartbreaking. |

Date: March 4th, 2026 10:13 AM Author: Cowardly mad cow disease stage This administration is a disaster and the people defending all of it suck. So much of it is objectively bad. I totally understand why people voted for Trump over Harris and don’t blame them, but all this bullshit he’s doing should be called out.
It’s like people have to defend their team at all costs. Same thing with “moderate” liberals defending child sex change surgery because the “science” suppers it. What happened to us all? Can’t people just call out bullshit when they see it? |

i agree that there is a disappointing lack of principles, with many people supporting shit they criticized libs for, but there are still plenty of people that *do* call out bullshit when they see it. |

i think that's why we've seen a bunch of 90s libs types move to the gop. |
