We aren't "Democrats," "Republicans," or "Independents." We are humans...who either respect the Constitution and the Rule of Law, or we don't. No matter how you've voted in the past, if you decide the Constitution and the Rule of Law are more important than anything else. We're on the same team.

She's just as qualified as anyone the Senate has confirmed already, what's the issue?

NEWS: The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) analysis of various Republican plans for Medicaid spending reveals that, under every scenario laid out by the GOP, millions would lose insurance. The GOP's plans would have a disproportionate impact on low-income and elderly populations.

BOOOOOOOOM! 💥 Judge ordered the election board to certify Justice Riggs victory to the North Carolina Supreme Court race! CONGRATULATIONS!

I may be the only lawyer targeted by Trump willing to speak on camera, but for me it wasn't a choice. All of us have an obligation to speak out against what Trump is doing. All of us have an obligation to fight for democracy. I am fortunate to be a lawyer and to have a platform -- and I will use it.

🚨BREAKING: In a victory for voters, a federal court has halted Republican Judge Jefferson Griffin’s efforts to overturn an election and disenfranchise thousands of voters. A federal judge has ordered the state to certify Democratic Justice Allison Riggs’ victory.

Trump has frozen, stalled or disrupted $430 billion in federal funds — from disease research to Head Start for children to disaster aid — programs used by countless Americans. Why is it difficult to understand he doesn’t care about American citizens? #MomSky

The new Trump DOJ. You are declared a "criminal" before evidence is presented & you are given a court trial to defend yourself. It is the US AG who is saying this. Oh, and the AG is declaring certain courts "criminal." That's a new one. Evidently we now have "regular" courts and "criminal courts."

Attorneys General are suing to block Trump’s tariffs. The case challenges four executive orders that claim the power to increase tariffs worldwide without congressional action. (Led by Oregon and CO, CT, DE, IL, ME, MN, NV, NM, NY, and VT)

Woot!! Keep 'em coming!

Shout out to all the finance bros who didn’t give a shit about democracy, human rights, racism, homophobia, misogyny, the future of the planet or basic human decency and voted for the conman they thought was gonna be good for the economy. You guys are geniuses.

DOGE are the tech bro mafia.

BREAKING: the heroes at Susman Godfrey sue the Trump administration over the illegal retaliation against them They have more integrity in their pinky finger than these other firms that have been capitulating have in their entire partnerships And kudos to the team at Munger for representing them

If you are a law student or associate who joined one of the Big Law firms that is now collaborating with Trump to do pro bono, ignore the bullshit management is telling you. Here is what Trump has in mind for you. Your spineless leaders will never say no to him.

He squandered our great economy!

BREAKING: Women may no longer be able to vote if their birth certificates don't match married names. You know in The Handmaid's Tale when Gilead suddenly eliminates women's bank accounts in one fell swoop? That's what Republicans in Congress are doing to women's voting rights.

The spokesperson for Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China is trolling Trump.

Make no mistake — the Trump administration is refusing to comply with the Supreme Court as it pertains to Abrego Garcia's release. This is where we are now. This is what they are doing. This is only the beginning.

Tariffs? Out of control. Prices? Skyrocketing. Emergency powers? He’s abusing them. And yet… not a single question about whether he’s even fit to serve. The math ain’t mathing.

You know it’s bad when the illegitimate compromised Supreme Court voted unanimously to force the orange felon and his group of criminals to bring back the Maryland man they deported to El Salvador. Also, let’s stop pretending it was a mistake, it was done on purpose.

After massive public backlash, the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services. This is a huge victory for the public against DOGE's rampage. Keep up the fight.

The question is will our SCOTUS agree?

"If you sue, you're likely to win." Former Attorney General Eric Holder encourages big law firms to stand together in resisting targeting by Donald Trump.

Every year, the IRS loses over a 100 billion dollars because it doesn't tax businesses called "churches." Look into that waste, Elon! youtu.be/37cZqx349xU

ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them. DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it. Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them. Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it.
