FOX: You thinking about running for president or senate? AOC: I think what people should be the most concerned about is the fact that the Republicans are trying to cut medicaid and people's healthcare is in danger and that’s what my central focus is.

Federal court says First Amendment bars government from arresting, deporting foreign students on basis of pro-Palestine advocacy. Important ruling from Judge Young just now in case brought by @aaup.bsky.social @mesa1966.bsky.social @knightcolumbia.org. knightcolumbia.org/content/fede...

My law firm is currently litigation 47 voting and election cases in 20 states. Democracy is still on the docket and it is winning.

One step further

She’s the head of Homeland security and can’t even keep her purse secure! apnews.com/article/home...

Wow!

Imagine how the MAGA mentality would marginalize this vital historical resource! The fact that Harvard University will house this reminder of the slave trade would be yet another thorn in Trump’s side. news.harvard.edu/gazette/stor...

Autism isn’t an epidemic. It's not a disease. It’s a natural variation in how people think…which, frankly, is a relief in a world where most people don't think at all.

Meltdowns and opera uniting. Please enjoy this lovely rendition of: "Bitch, WTF"

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw

Van Hollen: And it's also important that people understand this case is not just about one man. It's about protecting the constitutional rights of everybody who resides in the United States of America.

I actually think it's wonderful US Senator Van Hollen went to El Salvador and met with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I think Van Hollen is very brave, and Abrego Garcia is a strong and good young man. I also think that EVERY senator and representative should be concerned about EVERY AMERICAN PRISONER.

I suggest everyone become very, very familiar with this piece by law Professor @david.noll.org. I suspect you will be referring to it often. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/if-t...

Good discussion between Reshma Saujani and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, in which she talks about what led to the viral awkwardness of her recent Oval Office meeting.

Can’t believe I blagged an exclusive interview with Katy Perry!

"House Republicans, in the middle of a financial crisis, when Donald Trump is ruining our alliances...the thing that the House Republicans spent time on is to try to disenfranchise millions of voters." Watch more from Marc Elias: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XS8a...

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks.

Secretary Noem has had plenty of time for cowboy cosplay and prison photo ops in El Salvador—but not to answer my basic questions about ICE detentions and deportations. Who’s being held? Why? Where is ANY shred of due process? This isn’t tough-on-crime. It’s lawless, cowardly, and un-American.

Number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills or illness-related work loss: Australia 0 Canada 0 Denmark 0 Finland 0 France 0 Germany 0 Iceland 0 Ireland 0 Italy 0 Japan 0 Netherlands 0 Norway 0 Portugal 0 Spain 0 Sweden 0 UK 0 United States 530,000 There’s a lesson there.

Trump will ignore it. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

It’s been SUCH a whirlwind few months. I cannot believe I did it, but I DID- I served as a guest editor for an anthology. First (and probably last...editing is not my cup of tea, 😆) time ever. Another milestone. Due out in October. You can find it here: www.harpercollins.com./products/the...

60 Minutes could find no criminal records for 75% of the Venezuelans the U.S. sent to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4clubLP

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...

Congratulations @tomgabor.bsky.social and @violetlemay.bsky.social on your new book Gun Violence 101. Honored that you asked me to write the foreword.

Asked my smart economist friend about how #TrumpTariffs help Americans or even the rich, because I couldn't see it, and he said, "It doesn't. He's destroying stuff. It doesn't benefit anyone...except our enemies."

Hey WI voters. Did you know you have more power than Elon Musk? You have the right to VOTE in the April 1 election for WI Supreme Court judge. Musk doesn’t. Please vote for SUSAN CRAWFORD. She’s an actual judge who upholds the law. The other guy is a Trump kiss ass #Voices4Victory

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

It’s really fascinating what happens when you remove diversity—white male incompetency is placed on full display and with no one to blame for their actions —so they just lie.

They are arresting people on the streets, terminating their visas, and disappearing them for writing things they disagree with. This is where we are. Two months in. Right now. If you think they won’t begin coming after citizens soon, you are mistaken.
