Producing this tariffs chart with no alphabetization or numerization is an act of profound madness and indicative of a rot in the soul.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

Raskin: Would it be problem for it to be standard practice to conduct sensitive foreign policy on a signal chat group? It just came out that Waltz’s team set up 20 signal group chats for crises across the world… I’m sure this will raise the question on whether he should continue in that position

I want to sincerely thank every single one of my Senate Democratic colleagues who came to the floor, not to just support me, but to share incredibly powerful stories and ask important questions their constituents want answers to.

More than 400 Harvard Law School alumni have signed a letter calling on the school to condemn Trump’s attacks on lawyers and law firms. “We believe [HLS] as an institution must raise its voice in support of these principles and in denouncing the Executive Orders.” docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

@booker.senate.gov made history yesterday. He made genuinely “good trouble.” During his brilliant record-breaking filibuster, he asked “Where does the Constitution live, on paper or in our hearts?” All of us are called in our own way to answer that question by our actions, not just our words.

Reupping once again the piece I wrote in 2022 about court jurisdiction-stripping laws in the immigration context. The one DOJ is citing below is a different subsection in the same law, and it may have a similar effect in cutting off lawsuits in egregious cases. slate.com/news-and-pol...

The Trump Admin's termination of all staff at the Office of Head Start in New York is a malicious assault on NY children and families. This is yet another vital program Trump is willing to gut to pay off his billionaire donors. Read my statement below:

Congratulations to Susan Crawford for winning the Wisconsin Supreme Court race! Elon Musk tried to buy the election. And the people knew. That’s one reason Crawford won decisively. Elon Musk’s greatest asset—money—has now becomes his greatest liability in elections.

CDC was gutted today, entire departments wiped out, including much of the global HIV program. Career scientists and doctors lost their jobs overnight. This isn't just bureaucracy; people will die from preventable diseases, and public health will suffer for years. A massive step back for science.

My advice is if your law firm can't say this, get yourself a new law firm. "Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf."

It's getting a lot of attn today. But even before today most of the country had very little idea of what has happened at NIH or through it the entire ecosystem of biomedical research in the US. Simply put, Musk, Kennedy & Trump exploded a bomb right in the middle of cancer cure research in the US.
