Republicans are lying. Social Security is a self-funded program supported by the employee/employer payroll tax, interest earned on the trust fund balance, & taxes on benefits. Strengthen our nation. Protect this crucial earned benefit. #HandsOffMySocialSecurity #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Another day, another pathetic attempt to silence anyone with a different view. Read our statement on Trump's attempt to weaken small dollar donors while turning a blind eye to a flood of secret money: www.commoncause.org/press/trump-...

On Yom HaShoah, we remember the six million Jews and millions of others killed during the Holocaust. Let the memory of those who were murdered serve as our calling to combat antisemitism and hate.

As someone who subscribes to the civilian supremacy model of civ-mil relations, the DOD doing this so blatantly does make me a bit uncomfortable, but when civilians nominate, confirm, and run cover for the most unqualified secretary of defense in history…civ-mil relations is a two way street

I'm so proud of my niece and her former CDC colleagues @firedbutfighting.bsky.social They are sounding the alarm about the impact this is going to have on health, research and science. 🔬 A big thank you to @warnock.senate.gov, who is fighting along with them for our future in public health.

Quick story on this, no DOJ comment yet but it has appeared to have shut down the Consumer Protection Branch, which prosecutes cases involving tobacco marketing, fraud against seniors and servicemembers, and entities involved in the opioid crisis. prospect.org/justice/2025...

I’ve spent the better part of 20 years litigating habeas petitions and this is just totally ridiculous, even if the prisoner were the most sophisticated lawyer in the country.

Happy birthday to @barbrastreisand.bsky.social, whose 1973 fundraiser kept our co-founder Daniel Ellsberg’s legal fight alive long enough for him to win. She kept Dan out of jail for leaking the Pentagon Papers; now we’re continuing his fight to defend whistleblowers.

President Trump has personally ordered the Justice Department to open an investigation of Democrats' primary ways for raising donations. It is the third time he has personally ordered an open-ended criminal investigation, each against a perceived political foe. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u...

People sometimes ask "what are the crimes" and let me tell y'all, as a lawyer, that intentionally copying, altering, destroying, or disrupting government computer systems is super-duper illegal if you don't have a spotless paper trail authorizing it, which none of these DOGE people do.

I’m confused. @schumer.senate.gov is meeting with Trump voters but won’t hold a town hall to hear what Democrats have to say? This isn’t the leadership we need!

We've had three months in which blatant crimes and astounding lapses of judgment are treated as normal by the legislature and the press. Any one of these individually might have ended an entire presidency. It's created a lawless atmosphere, and its really hard at this point to feel like

The Trump administration is "willing to not just slash and burn research that challenges their political ideology but to replace it with shoddy studies designed to support their goals, under the guise of scientific legitimacy," Katherine J. Wu writes.

CBS News producer Dan Ruetenik lifted my deeply reported, rigorously sourced article, added a few things, and passed it off as his own—weakly crediting me 1,182 words in, calling my hard work "reporting questions." Unacceptable, @cbsnews.com. Credit me appropriately. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/tru...
