Is this the first company to actually face to face stand up to the current administration?

Costco has been. When every other major company was scuttling their DEI initiatives Costco doubled down. Doesn’t seem to have impacted them yet.

Costco also actually sued the Trump administration over the Tariffs, probably the largest and most popular to do so

No, a few law firms targeted by EOs fought them in court last year and won.

Also the case against tariffs, a quick (maybe AI hallucinated) search shows `Victor Owen Schwartz` was part of the challenge.

Democracy isn't dead folks, but it takes more work than usual.

The usual suspects have stood up to it. Ben & Jerry's, Patagonia. In the former case it led to an illegal takeover by Unilever for which they're now being sued (or more accurately, the spinoff). Capgemini sold a US division over working with ICE, though that's a French company.

So yeah, extremely few have.

Harvard is an analogue in the academic sphere, if you include organizations beyond just companies.

Hundreds of companies have filed lawsuits against the admin over the tariffs.

You get much fewer points for standing up to the admin when it has damaged your wallet.
