100%. It really is time to go there. Again.

The Trump regime is claiming tyrannical powers. Not an exaggeration, not hyperbole, not a partisan statement. The reality we now face.

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.

The U.S. House has passed a bill that voting rights groups have repeatedly warned would make it harder for millions of Americans, including married women, to vote.

We stand by our reporting. So read it here:

Following court orders: mandatory. Following the Constitution: mandatory. Hope that clears things up.

Thank you for all the kind notes about my piece this morning. Happy Passover.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

Today in 1968, President Johnson signed the Fair Housing Act into law, prohibiting housing discrimination. As a former civil rights attorney, I’m committed to continuing the fight for equitable access to affordable housing and stamping out discrimination.

Portable Golden Calf.

UPDATE: Parents and students say that administrators initiated an unannounced lockdown drill to stop a planned walkout at Netzaberg Middle School on Thursday, a claim school officials dispute.

Alex Lawson: This is going to end in checks not going out. The money that we have earned is not getting into our hands. And I believe strongly that’s the point. The cuts they've made have had no other rhyme or reason except to literally destroy the system. @maddow.msnbc.com

Another one from David Cohen. #Greenland #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

29 million Americans are without affordable quality healthcare — the highest level since 2021. Healthcare is a human right. It’s time for the U.S. to deliver and pass Medicare for All.

if you take actual accountability for your actions and you try to grow from a situation just know that i’m so proud of you sometimes we do really mean and hurtful things but it is through how we react that shows our true character. ♡︎

Ellie Appling, an eighth grader at Netzaberg Middle School in Germany, sat outside the school for about 25 minutes by herself. She wanted to participate in the planned walkout, despite an impromptu lockdown drill. #Flashes

“REPORTER” seems generous here.

Nuremberg 2.0 has the perfect catchphrase.

CDC denies help for lead poisoning in Milwaukee schools due to layoffs www.cbsnews.com/news/milwauk...

ICE is a real-life experiment in "what if the people who swore an oath to protect against enemies domestic ARE the enemies domestic?"

Every state in the union should join Arizona and Michigan in helping their citizens report when they're experiencing problems with Social Security services.

Paying an extortionist -- where do you think it ends? Do you think he honors his side of the supposed "deal"? Really? Meanwhile, as Big Law ill-advisedly pays the protection racket, there's a huge need for lawyers to help regular people Trump is illegally targeting: www.cm-life.com/article/2025...

It’s hard to think of anything he’s done in his second term that’s *not* impeachable.

Take the W. Always, always

I can’t imagine the kind of monster you would be to deny children of a dead parent their Social Security survivor benefits. The depths of this administration‘s depravity is immeasurable. And so is every single one of their sycophants. Pure evil.

If you feel like being inspired by a big law firm, here's the opening to Sussman Godfrey's lawsuit against Trump and his executive order targeting the firm. It still is amazing other firms caved quickly to Trump's mob-like and unconstitutional shakedown. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It's a Friday, so there must be another departure from the Washington Post. Its deputy democracy editor Jenna Johnson is off to become a senior editor at the Atlantic. h/t @maxtani.bsky.social
