The Republican budget will be a wrecking ball for rural Oregon and make your energy bills more expensive. All so Donald Trump can give his rich friends more tax breaks.

Not sure if democracy remains on the docket? My law firm is litigating 53 voting and election cases in 22 states. When we fight, we win.

I cannot stress enough how much of a Def Con 1 moment this is. Federal judges fear that the President of the United States will stand down security for judges in retaliation for adverse decisions. This is such a huge story.

My name is Jonathan Treble. I'm a father, business owner, and the Democrat ready to flip Arizona's 1st and bring back real leadership to our district. I can't do it alone. Can you repost this, give me a follow, and help me take back this seat and take back the House majority?

Republicans are counting on us to ignore what’s happening in the states they control. They are banking on us not having the resources or the will to fight for voting rights. They want us to be resigned and demoralized while their voter suppression machine grinds on.

I'm hugely grateful for this incredible review of my book in the journal Environment, which calls The Language of Climate Politics a "tour-de-force of a book" — "engaging, fabulous, angry, hopeful, and helpful ... illuminating and even fun." 😭

This is the last time I’m going to post about this because it just makes me sob each time. My brother died last year from cancer he got as a result of the toxic burn pits in Iraq. That the same government that put him and others in harm’s way would turn its back on them now is treason and murder.

Trump now invoking the widely recognized “following the law is too much work” exception to due process. Courts usually HIGHLY sympathetic to this argument. 🙄

Not to put too fine of a point on this, but if I spent the last few months putting innocent people in concentration camps and the pope died basically three seconds after I met him, I would not continue life apace, I would not immediately clock back in at the fascism factory.

Raskin: The president derives his powers only either from the Constitution explicitly or from an act of Congress and Congress certainly has never given the president the power to relocate prisoners to foreign countries and there's nothing in the constitution that remotely vests that power…

That fear you have, that maybe even small decision to limit what you say or where you go, even for US citizens, it means we’re living under authoritarianism.

This is a good thing to pause on and acknowledge/appreciate. The ground is shifting. You can feel it. It's happening too slowly and too many people will be hurt before it's shifted enough, but it is moving. Keep pushing.
