1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

Nailed another one @nytpitchbot.bsky.social 🤣🫡

It’s late. Read it in the morning. But my new one is up. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

The people who said “wokeness” was totalitarian are applauding as dhs sends agents to college campus to apprehend students for thoughtcrime

If Chuck Schumer enjoys a single day in NYC for the rest of his life without being told to go fuck himself at least once, then NYC will have utterly failed as a society.

If voicemails are full, you can also email these staffers in Schumer's office: mike_lynch [at] schumer [dot] senate [dot] gov meghan_taira [at] schumer [dot] senate [dot] gov

You've been paying into Social Security for years, maybe some of you are collecting the benefits. You have a legal right to collect these benefits and have good service. A 50% cut in the Social Security workforce is wrong. CALL YOUR SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES NOW and encourage others to do so.

When I was young--which is to say, up until January 19, 2025--lawsuits were sort of boring and technical. Now they're bold and technicolor, as good lawyers stand up against against a luridly criminal administration. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

He is an assault on every sense.

With sincere hope that Meta and Amazon mirror this trajectory 📉

Every. Single. Word…

I founded and chair an "elite law firm" and we are not in retreat. I have spoken with many other "elite" firm leaders that are staffing up. What the WSJ means is large corporate law firms. Please do not confuse quality with cowardice.

A massive story in Canada is that damn near the entire country is turning on national God Wayne Gretzky because he refuses to stand up for Canadian sovereignty due to his desire to keep getting invites to Mar A Lago. An entire country choosing dignity over star-f*cking. We could take a lesson.

Ummm

There is indeed a body of polisci research that indicates Biden won specifically *because* of racial justice protests.

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

@nbcnews.com @pbsnews.org @npr.org @cbsnews.com @cnn.com Can you report on it so the public understands what’s actually happening?

Don’t take your eyes off USPS. We have to keep up the pressure of Congress to protect the Constitutionally established postal service from an illegal takeover. Call your members of Congress: 5calls.org/issue/usps-u...

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

She nailed it 🎯

I don’t really understand why all the supposed 2028 front runners like Shapiro & Whitmer are so shamefully silent & invisible, but Pritzker gets it & is running circles around them

absolute queen

The fact that a vote on a budget resolution is coming up means it's absolutely critical to call your congressional rep first thing in the morning, and remind them of the importance of not giving the Musk/Trump administration a pass.

If you read one thing today… www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Exactly why I've been writing, podcasting, and damn near screaming about using the right language. The mainstream media is failing us SO badly right now. Stop. Calling. This. Shit. DEI. This is (re)segregation. This is racial purging. Cleansing Black people from positions of power.

If you can find them.

The stress. Entire departing flight was so on edge, we encountered mild bumps while ascending and two women screamed from the top of their lungs. I’m talking piercing. I won’t heal from that experience for months. Entire seasons will pass before I’m mentally whole on an airplane again. 😮‍💨

I took two flights today, and I now have extra greys to prove it. 🥴

A Black man with 13 kids by six different women wouldn’t be allowed near the White House much less allowed to run the shadow government.

Wrote about the morally vacuous, strategically unsound (and also wrong!) anti-“woke”diagnosis everyone’s still sticking with, even in the midst of civil rights apocalypse.

In addition to everything else that needs to be dealt with, are the Democrats going to do anything about the planes crashing or are we just gonna ride this additional crisis to the end of the line?

again, this is the easiest political slam dunk in the world find a veteran with a lifetime of public service who has been fired for no reason and bring him on television with you do it again tomorrow with a different veteran, and again, and again show the human cost
