ATTN: Join members of the legal community for a virtual rally to speak out about attacks on judges, lawyers, and the rule of law on Tues, 4/15. An independent legal community is critical to protecting civil society against abuses of power. Register to speak up for justice: speakupforjustice.law

"They are looking for reasons not to actually engage with the lawlessness of the administration." How the Supreme Court is handling Trump so far: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

@warren.senate.gov: "This is the Trump administration. Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous for the billionaires. Billionaires win and everybody else loses. And they laugh about it."

Abject cruelty! Afghans who fled here, many with our help, after our withdrawal in 2021, are being deported back by Trump to face Taliban rule. This is just disgusting! Shame on people supporting his man!

Chuck is running to unseat Virginia Foxx — please follow, support, amplify 👏🏼 @chuck.hubbardforcongress.com

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

Just in case those of us fighting for democracy in court didn't need another challenge, Big Law turning collaborators is here and growing. My firm and others continue to fight. We will never back down. We will never bend a knee. We will never obey.

This is what Musk and DOGE have *actually* tried to do: -- Kill USAID (investigating Starlink) -- Kill CFPB (regulator for X to be payment app) -- Move $2.3 BILLION contract from Verizon to Starlink -- Force Social Security Administration to use X exclusively 100% CORRUPTION

I don't agree with Mahmoud Khalil's opinions, but that doesn't matter. It is important that we all be factually correct about what is happening. He is NOT being deported for evidence of ties to a terrorist organization (Hamas) as originally alleged. 1/3

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

Under Trump, ICE has become a weapon. Protesters are arrested. Immigrants are disappeared. Kilmar wasn't a threat, he was a legal resident who fit a profile. Mahmoud wasn't silenced for violence-he was targeted. This is an American Gestapo. (1/3) #FreeKilmar #DefendDueProcess #BringThemBack

Yo! Shoutout to AOC & Bernie for leading by example — showing up, speaking truth & organizing w/the people, not just talking at them from D.C. We need that same energy from all Dems. Whether it’s 35,000 or 35 people — show up. Hit the streets, hit the town halls, show you’re ready to fight for us.

#TrumpParade 🤣🤣

15,000 people RSVP’d for this monumental event. OVER 36,000 people stepped up and showed up to be part of the Fighting the Oligarchy event in L.A. on Saturday!! Our movement is absolutely massive, and building by the day!!

This right here 🔥 “If there was market manipulation, it is a crime. Someone needs to go to jail… I want the documents. I want the Signal chats too, because I don’t trust them — that they weren’t sharing all this information across their Signal chats.” – @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social

Everyone needs to see the best moments from Bernie Sanders and AOC’s rally in front of 36,000 people today. Something big is happening in this country.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

My law firm is currently litigating 49 voting and election cases in 21 states. States with the most cases: AZ, GA, NC, NV, FL, LA, PA. I expect new cases will be filed this week.

@warren.senate.gov: "State attorneys general have the same opportunity to investigate, dig in, get what the facts are. So for example, Letitia James, the NY attorney general, which has jurisdiction over the stock market and the trading that happens in NY, might decide she would take a look at this."

The Canadians are smarter than us:

I’m getting very resentful of Trump’s golf games at our expense when His administration is wrecking our country.

Why would someone ever believe them?

The Trump admin has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying “anti-Christian bias” as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new EO on supporting employees of Christian faith working in the federal government. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Don't stop calling your members of Congress. Make yourself a nuisance. If they are doing recess district meetings, show up and make your presence known. Indivisible's April recess toolkit. indivisible.org/muskorus

208 members of Congress sign on to an amicus brief arguing that eliminating birthright citizenship isn’t just unconstitutional, it also violates multiple laws passed by Congress which require and/or acknowledge jus soli. Cc: @evanbernick.bsky.social litigationandresponse.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

"The 2024 election wasn’t a restaurant where you could order cheaper eggs but politely ask for the server to hold the fascism. You’re still getting the fascism, and your eggs aren’t just overpriced now, they’re broken and rotten." -- @playtyperguy.com

Raskin: They want to go back to the idea that the law doesn’t apply to them in anyway, they’re not bound by the law, and they can use the law to crush other people

Casar: At the end of the day, this is about taking your hard-earned money and giving it to themselves—or funneling it to their friends. That’s all this is about.

Impeach Trump should be the first priority

If we want culture to thrive, not just survive, it’s on all of us now.

Market manipulation is a CRIME. It's securities fraud. It undermines the integrity of financial markets. Call it pump-and-dump, insider trading, whatever you like. His immunity does NOT APPLY to criminal activity. And anyone in Congress that traded, can and should be prosecuted.

Dems in Congress, universities, Big Law, corporations who keep trying appeasement hoping it will work: you fuckers had better think about how that will work out for you in the post-Tr*mp era, bc we will not forget who capitulated and who held the line.

The Trump regime is working to deter dissent. Anyone who goes against Trump could end up on a target list. This is having a chilling effect on five major pillars of society — universities, science, the media, the law, and the arts. It's straight out of the fascist playbook.

Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.

@booker.senate.gov: "Are we a nation that is going to tolerate this, or a nation that's going to stand up? As the great Frederick Douglass said, 'the limits of tyrants are prescribed by the people that they seek to oppress.' How much will we endure before we say enough is enough?"

If Kristi Noem can go down to El Salvador and take concentration camp selfies, then DOJ can figure out where Abrego Garcia is. Just start jailing people for contempt of court until they find out.

When Trump, Musk, and MAGA extremists try to gut Social Security and slash Medicaid to fund billionaire tax breaks, our seniors say: Hands off! We’re not backing down. We’re just getting started.

Here is an up to date list of Big Law collaborators along with how much in free legal services they have pledged to Trump's causes. Paul Weiss 40M Cadwalader 100M Milbank 100M Skadden Arps 100M Willkie Farr 100M A&O Shearman 125M Kirkland & Ellis 125M Latham & Watkins 125M Simpson Thacher 125M
