We've been talking an awful lot about how the Trump tariffs will hit the big players: the UK, China, Canada, France, Germany etc But it's time to talk about the ones who DON'T have loud voices. Because some of the poorest countries in the world are going to be crippled by what happened last night

This infamous Mencken quote is misanthropic and reactionary and kind of the opposite of my politics, and yet on a day like today…. “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”

The same people in DC who got us into this mess are not going to be the ones to get us out of it. Today I'm announcing my campaign for U.S. Senate. Because we don't have a minute to wait.

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

My advice is if your law firm can't say this, get yourself a new law firm. "Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf."

Elon Musk is running a fake government agency under Trump. People are planning massive protests this weekend to say: hands off our democracy. It seems it will be huge.

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary. I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

"It’s worth remembering that for all their power and might, the overwhelming majority of Biglaw has been eerily silent on the matter. But not elite boutique law firms. Elias Law Group Chair Marc Elias has been vocal in his commitment to the cause and Keker Van Nest came out swinging."

Democratic Super Attorney Marc Elias: "We need to be laser-focused, everyone, not just on what outrageous thing he's doing here and outrageous thing he's doing there, but we need to really be focused to make sure that we're protecting our elections." Spot on!

Bluesky keeps asking me what’s up.. Sadly, so far: my bloodpressure, would be the correct answer. Fuck Trump, JD, Maga and pretty much everyone else not speaking up against what is going on right now.

"Formerly we were in the habit of saying: ‘This is right or wrong.’ Today we must ask the question: ‘What would the Führer say?’ We are under the great obligation of recognizing as a holy work of our Folk Spirit the laws signed by Adolf Hitler." -- Hans Frank, the role of lawyers and judges (1933).

Donald Trump's executive order would make it harder for millions to register to vote, would disenfranchise voters Trump doesn't like, and give power to election deniers to overturn elections they don't win. This is the greatest threat to democracy right now and it must be stopped.

I strongly suspect this recent piece from Prof. David Knoll is about to be come extremely relevant and widely read. "Even a rogue marshal’s service, in other words, is not an insurmountable obstacle to courts enforcing the rule of law. If courts have the courage, the legal tools are there."

Today Donald Trump attacked me by name in a speech at the Department of Justice. Of course I am worried, but courage comes from acting in spite of being worried. I have made my choice: I will continue to speak out, I will continue to litigate, I will continue to stand tall. I will never bow down.
