I specialize in representing Democratic campaigns because I believe in the party. I litigate voting rights cases because the right to vote is the bedrock of our democracy. I speak out about free and fair elections because they are under threat. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Why does the world's richest man want to gut the CFPB? Because it would shield him from having to follow financial laws to keep customers' money safe — and give him access to confidential records about his competitors. Follow the money.

"I just want a eugenic immigration policy, is that too much to ask" "You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity" "Normalize Indian hate" "I was racist before it was cool" These are things a DOGE staffer wrote. He resigned. Musk and his followers want to bring him back.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.

Saying it louder: Utah has banned TWO MORE BOOKS from public schools in the entire state. These are YA books that were available only to high schoolers. TWO schools in the state are responsible for over 80% of the state-mandated book bans. So much for "local control."

Musk’s allies were granted access to the U.S. Treasury payment system. Treasury stays silent. White House stays silent. Why the secrecy? Time for an explanation and full transparency.
