Fighting for survival for 1145 days. That's been the ONLY thing on Ukrainians' minds and remains so in this 4th year of Russia's war. It's the 13th day if April, let's hope it's unlucky for invaders. Welcome to Sunday's daily thread with all the verified news, all the time, EVERY day.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

77 million people voted for deregulation (Trump). Did they know they were also voting for pollution, cancer, and climate chaos loved ones and future generations? We can now be poisoned on purpose—without a check.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved. * very unconstitutional

As long as I live, I will never understand why they would rather elect a singularly worthless white rapist as president than an exceptionally impressive black woman.

⚡️ European leaders condemn Russia's deadly attack on Kryvyi Rih. "Another reckless Russian attack struck a crowded residential area... Russia continues to destroy Ukraine, no interest in peace," European Commission Vice-President Kaja Kallas wrote on X.

It disgusts me that At a time when immigrants in America fear deportation-without due process-every day And federal workers fear losing their jobs because of DOGE and Elon Musk That ultra wealthy lawyers caved to Trump because they feared they would earn only $5 million instead of $8 million

Russia gets no Trump tariffs. Intriguing. In fairness to Russia, its only exports are death, misery, chaos, war crimes, and despair…and we’re fully supplied by the Trump Administration for those.

Use every parliamentary arrow in your quiver to stop the Trump agenda Holds Filibusters Speeches Refuse unanimous consent Add as many amendments to bills as you can Force as many votes as you can And never-under any circumstances-accept feckless choices Be bold Be brave Be a leader

Remember, when the stock market plummets, those with all the excess cash, get to buy stocks at bargain basement prices. The fix is in.

Trump is sending a chill across the entire legal community. His attacks on large law firms are cutting off the litigation lifeline for nonprofit public-interest groups who are challenging his policies — which is exactly why he’s doing it. Connect the dots.

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."

Absolutely!

If the point of Donald Trump’s tariffs was to destroy the US economy By making consumer goods unaffordable Tanking the stock market Setting up America for crushing retaliation And pissing off all of our allies He’s doing a helluva job

“There is no such thing as an ‘illegal immigrant’” My myth-busting piece for The Guardian today arguing that it is factually inaccurate & totally, utterly wrong to say that undocumented people are ‘illegal’ & are automatically ‘criminals’. I bring receipts:

YES!!!

They obviously didn’t, the emergency declaration is nonsense and Congress should override that declaration tomorrow.

Levi’s showing America how it’s done 👖🇺🇸

The only thing being liberated today is money from the bank accounts of hard-working Americans.

These are the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses as of April 3, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

America has never been subject to this level of authoritarianism, and quite frankly, sheer incompetence. Out of the ashes, this moment should radicalize us to embark on an era of new reform — of our economy, our democracy, and our commitment to social justice and the law.

🚨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!

⚡️Russian strike on Kherson energy facility causes blackout despite partial ceasefire, FM says. Some 45,000 residents of Kherson were left without electricity after a morning Russian attack on one of the city's power facilities.
