My family stands with Ukraine!

From Hopium: - Trump is doing incredible harm to our country and it's time for our elected leaders to raise their game, fight much harder - Appears Trump has *already* ruined the strong economy he inherited - Channel your patriotism into concrete action 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/trumps-wre...

Just listen to this.....this is the Speaker breaking, clearly and loudly, with Trump on Putin.

www.politico.com/news/2025/03... makes Collins, Tillis and others look even more cowardly. Now she needs to leave GOP

don;t know about NYC but try some Ukrainian communities in the Midwest. they are not "divided" www.nytimes.com/2025/03/01/n...

NEW: This is a powerhouse summit gathered in London. Starmer has confirmed UK & France are now leading the peace process, with Ukraine. Trump has disqualified himself & the US.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

“We’ve almost fully switched sides here” — Mark Kelly

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

And here’s a little something extra from @axios.com about today’s White House shit show “Another small but not insignificant factor that irritated Trump — Zelensky didn't wear a suit. Trump's advisers had told Zelensky's team several times that he should wear a suit to the White House.” Really?

worth saying again that this was a bait and switch. if trump had openly announced he was running on allowing companies to discriminate against women and minorities he would not have won wapo.st/43aVQg1

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

I’m still processing what we saw in the Oval Office and it’s difficult to put into words how disgusted and ashamed I am. This was a coordinated assault on an ally to benefit a dictator and authoritarian regime. Trump and Vance aren’t just Putin’s puppets, they’re his assets.

Better than a sunny shoppe window!

Spring arrives in Winston Salem!

Proud of the work my law firm did in this case! "An Arizona judge dismissed a lawsuit seeking to upend election policies in Yavapai County. The decision delivered a blow to a right-wing organization founded by Stephen Miller which brought the challenge." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Go figure.

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

Having lived for many years outside the US, I'm as earnest a "USA!" "More like us!" patriot as you will find. But finding that leaders like Macron, Trudeau, Sheinbaum, perhaps Merz (?), of course Zelenskyy, sound like the "real Americans" now.

The tide is turning…already. Speak out. Don’t be afraid.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

3 years today with our sweet sweet little boy. What an amazing, humbling journey. #parenthood

“Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. Government failure, stock market crash, and dictatorial alliances are not popular.” — Timothy Snyder

I am proud that my law firm is currently litigation 48 voting and election cases in 18 states.

These invocations of impeachment to threaten federal judges who reject claims of boundless executive power are dangerous to democracy and the rule of law even though they’re bound to fail. Judicial independence is indispensable — but these threats imperil it. www.axios.com/2025/02/21/t...

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

americans are ahead of the politicians "Americans disapprove by a 2-to-1 margin of Musk shutting down federal agencies that he decides are unnecessary, and most (63 percent) are concerned that his team is gaining access to sensitive personal data of individuals"

In a 4-3 ruling, the Wisconsin Supreme Court dismissed a right-wing legal challenge that sought to limit the authority of municipalities to designate early absentee voting locations and prevent future use of a mobile voting van deployed by the city of Racine during the 2022 election cycle.

And fully half of it is a humiliating error where they mistake the value of a contract by 1000x confusing 8 million with 8 BILLION

Ok that made me laugh

Great to be back at UChicago Institute of Politics tonight. Tune in.

NEW VIDEO: The first case testing the illegal actions of the Trump administration has made itself to the U.S. Supreme Court. Paige and I explain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xeS...

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!!

Snowflakes actual shapes zoomed in.

"Law and order" in the Trump era: if you bow down to the head of the U.S. government, he may help you - whether you're awaiting trial for sex crimes in Europe or doing time in the USA for physically assaulting police.

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

“There are currently four people remaining over there to do the work of 15 people. The danger to the national airspace can’t be understated. This is a very real threat to the American flying public.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
