Goldberg said the level of detail in the targeting package that he received via Signal was down to the names of individuals to be killed. That’s the good stuff that includes all kinds of sources and methods and never should have been outside a SCIF. I’d be in prison if I fucked up that bad.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

Two issues I keep coming back to with @schumer.senate.gov He was all in on opposing the funding bill one day-only to reverse himself the next Which means he had no strategy-and that's political malpractice The other thing is that when he did flop, he stabbed millions of Democrats in the back

If a law firm won't risk everything to defend itself, what makes you think it will risk anything to defend you? My advice: Find a law firm that will not back down and will never bend a knee.

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

What an absolute nightmare. A high school student saw his friends crash their Cybertruck and rushed to help, but was only able to rescue one of them because the car's doors would not open from the outside. He watched his three other friends burn to death. oaklandside.org/2025/03/18/c...

They are monsters. There is no way around it. It is both dangerously bad foreign policy and it is grotesquely inhumane. The vast majority of Americans don't get it and need to wake up to what is happening here, to how disastrous it is for us and the world, how dangerous it is for our future.

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer. "Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

Yes a shutdown would have consequences. And a Republican President, Republican House, and Republican Senate would be responsible. They have acted in a unilateral and unprecedented way. Democrats cannot cave. They must fight back.

I’m absolutely fucking LIVID at my senators right now. I cannot believe how absolutely feckless they are. Truly disgusted right now watching them capitulate to Trump and Musk’s vile administration and dangerous agenda.

The cause of Perkins Coie is the cause of an independent bar that's willing and able to represent clients vigorously against the federal government and its officials. That should make it everyone's cause. Please read the first 5-10 pp. at least to see how vital the stakes are.

The House just passed a funding bill that would provide ICE with a nearly $10 billion blank check to detain and deport immigrant communities with few guardrails. Senators have the power to stop this cruel waste of taxpayer dollars. They must use that power.

Dear Democrats: 📌83-year-old Bernie Sanders has been barnstorming through the Midwest drawing huge crowds taking on the Nazi shit coming out of the Republican Party, and fighting for the rights and benefits WE EARNED. 📌Get a fucking clue, get in the fight, out of D.C., or not another dime.

There is a real, genuine 1st Amendment crisis in the United States right now. The government is openly retaliating against anyone with a viewpoint it doesn't like: Pro-Palestinian protesters, law schools teaching Black History, pro-immigration public service loan forgiveness seekers.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

This whole thing was a deliberate set-up, and the real audience for it was not the American people. It was the global fascist movement.

The exchange between Trump, Vance and Zelenskyy in the Oval Office today in which our country attacked the victim in defense of a brutal aggressor has to be one of the most shameful moments in Modern American history.

Every mainstream attempt to grapple with the rise of Tate and other misogynist ideologues have posed them as a product of men’s despair. Few have posited them as an assault on women’s safety and dignity.

This is extremely, extremely bad. Our legal system cannot function if the govt retaliates — and if courts allow it to retaliate — against lawyers who take matters the govt disfavors.
