🚨BREAKING: Federal court rules that the Pennsylvania date requirement for mail-in ballot violates the First and 14th Amendments. Counties cannot reject ballots from counting undated and wrongly dated mail-in ballots. A HUGE victory for my law firm, our clients DSCC and DCCC and the voters of PA!

We have overcome near-death experiences before. We shall overcome this one too. Not by denying we are in a constitutional crisis. We are. But we can and will prevail if we face the truth unflinchingly and never abandon the long twilight struggle against evil. open.substack.com/pub/roberthu...

Strong words from Bret Stephens: “Roosevelt and Reagan must be spinning in their graves, as are Churchill and Thatcher. It’s up to the rest of us to reclaim America’s honor from the gangsters who besmirched it in the White House.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/o...

The order to email Elon Musk five things you did last week or else you’re fired appears to be illegal. More here.

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

Let’s make these Republican senators regret every vote, every betrayal, and every second they choose Musk and Trump over us. Let’s make them answer for every provision of Project 2025 that comes to pass. And come November of next year, let’s replace them: secure.actblue.com/donate/payba...

Senate needs to respond to mass firings of Jan 6 attack prosecutors by rejecting Trump nominees. Have a spine and stand up to this autocratic effort to rewrite history and embolden political violence. Block Bondi and Patel.

Democrats are starting to show some fight. We need to see them do this every time: Make a plan, stick together, show people that you're going to have their back — and just say no.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head. So,I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

If you’re furious that people who made a mockery of our democracy have skirted accountability and are set to retake power, we’re right there with you. But instead of giving in to despair, put your anger to use. We’re not sitting back while Trump and MAGA continue to dismantle our democracy.

It grimly looks as if the Putin regime so ardently championed by the incoming US administration and the owner of X/Twitter has shot down another civilian airliner, killing 38 people aboard.

To bring our country back from the brink, we must tap into power wherever we can find it — in every state, at every level of government. No one is better prepared for this fight than Indivisibles.

It is amazing that this phrase has so quickly become practically a cliché, as so many examples abound!

As 2023 came to a close, scientists hoped that a stretch of record heat that emerged across the planet might finally begin to subside in 2024. It seemed likely that temporary conditions would give way to let Earth cool down. That didn’t happen. wapo.st/3Bdto1x
