🚨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!

Our economy is far larger than it was decades ago. Where have most of the gains gone? To the top. Any path forward must include a fight to restructure the economy toward more widely shared prosperity. This isn’t a blue state vs. red state phenomenon. It’s a class phenomenon.

Hey NBC and Seth Meyers, y’all need to book the largest possible venue in D.C. on April 26th and do a competing fundraiser and comedy show that actually celebrates the First Amendment. Televise it. Make Amber Ruffin the central act. Send a message that free speech is non-negotiable.

Wow- Himes during a heated exchange w/Will Cain on Fox: "I'm not gonna listen to to you tell me that this about a partisan advantage...it is by the grace of God that we don't have dead pilots right now...it makes me want to throw up to hear you turn this into a partisan issue.

When the government released documents about John F. Kennedy’s assassination, the world learned something, writes @yair-rosenberg.bsky.social. It takes anti-Semites less than a day to pretend to read 63,000 pages about his murder before saying that the Jews did it:

Trump cannot dismantle the Department of Education without the approval of Congress. He’s breaking the law. Again. Maybe if he focused more on educating himself instead of attacking education, he’d know that. 🫶

It’s official: Trump and Republicans plan to essentially eliminate the Department of Education. This is Project 2025 in action. It’s illegal and will harm students from preschool to college. We're fighting this with litigation and legislation.

Why is Marco Rubio so pissy on @facethenation.bsky.social He began the interview as if Margaret Brennan had given him a wedgie just before the cameras started rolling. Could he be compensating for something? He’s an angry little guy.

The Trump administration wants you to think shutting down the Department of Education is a win—claiming they’ll send the money back to the states. Don’t fall for it. That money will vanish long before it ever reaches states or schools in any meaningful way.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.

Trump keeps spreading lies about Social Security. What he isn't telling you is that he's actively trying to dismantle it — firing thousands of SSA employees and shuttering regional offices. Why? To pave the way for privatization so Wall Street can gamble with our retirement.
