What’s laughable is how little waste they have found. Every Silicon Valley enterprise I’ve been a part of blows a month’s rent daily on sushi and Uber Black

A federal judge has extended the order keeping Elon Musk's DOGE out of Treasury Department payment systems, ruling that the Trump admin's process for granting access to the sensitive data was so flawed and haphazard that it was likely illegal.

Slow clap 👏

Black History Month Stories. Today we stick with our "women running mail" theme from yesterday's story and celebrate the first Black woman to make officer in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps who went on to command an all-black postal battalion overseas. This is the story of Charity Adams Earley.

I wouldn’t think “moved to root out diversity initiatives” is a useful phrase for journalism at all, but using it as a euphemism for a purge of high ranking black officers is downright Orwellian.

I’ve worked for them and with them and I can tell you they are wicked smart. 💕

Groups I name checked in my UGA speech for fighting for democracy in America right now were: @crew.bsky.social @protectdemocracy.org @brennancenter.bsky.social & @democracydocket.com Give them love and support. 🗳️⚖️👏

"The crowd again started shouting 'tax Elon,' 'tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich' and 'tax the billionaires.'" The county went 68% for Trump www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

“Normally, courts are aided in their decision-making through our system of adversarial testing,” Judge Ho wrote, “which can be particularly helpful in cases presenting unusual fact patterns or in case of great public importance.”👀⚖️👇🏾

No some of them said what matters is whether people have their material needs met and democracy is a luxury. I think we can feed a nation and have free and fair elections at the same time. It’s a false choice to say otherwise. 🗳️⚖️

Most of the other speakers were comparative constitutional scholars and so they are completely meta. They think about the issue of constitutional design across nations. So 5 speakers in a row just talked about that. 🤷‍♀️🗳️⚖️

Here’s some pictures of me talking at the the University of Georgia Law School Dean Rusk Center. The symposium was titled Defending Democracy and I was the only speaker who said democracy was worth defending. 🗳️⚖️👀🤷‍♀️

This is a galley brag. Been waiting for this @mariahblake.bsky.social book since I heard she was writing it. PFAS is the DDT of our time, thrilled there's now a book giving it the attention it deserves

I’m talking about American democracy today so it feels like a Rosie the Riveter kind of day. 🗳️🧦🚺

Possibly the best book dedication ever.. 💙📚#booksky
