And just like that I'm a Pence fan. Happy to see a republican finally speak up.

I’ve seen some strong senators and governors getting vocal about the orange stain today. I think we will see much more pushback going forward. Even Pence stepped up to publicly reprimand Trump today. We need strong leaders.

Eve and I are out celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary! And I’m wearing the same shirt I wore on our first date — it’s a bit worn around the edges but then so am I. But three decades later, Adam and Eve are still going strong!

DOGE’s website takes credit for the termination of a lease in Atlanta. The only problem? The savings are likely not attributable to DOGE, but to an event that occurred well before its establishment: Jimmy Carter’s death. From @nicholasbednar.bsky.social: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/did-...

Lawyers, this is what it looks like to honor your oath as a lawyer and as a prosecutor. I want to lift up Denise Cheung, one of a growing group of senior DOJ lawyers who have put the rule of law ahead of politics & short-term career advancement. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!

If Biden caused “Trump’s first 28 days inflation,” who does Trump blame for the February jobs report after firing 200K government workers? Hillary’s server? Stormy Daniels? Sunshine? Or is it a deep-state, woke, windmill conspiracy? Tough call.

Donald Trump fired the people who make sure you and your parents get the health care you need. The people who make sure medical devices are safe for you to use. The people who approve the lifesaving drugs you rely on. How does this help working people?

Donald Trump signed a bunch of executive orders rolling back abortion protections in the middle of the night, hoping that no one would notice. This is — and always has been — about controlling women’s bodies. I’m fighting back.

Trump is stomping around the world like a stick-up thug. It’s a disgrace.

While Republicans are illegally dismantling programs & services hard-working Americans rely on, there are only 30 days until a government shutdown. The House GOP may be too scared to stand up to President Musk, but House Democrats are fighting to protect our constituents.
