Big win for us as federal court rules that Musk & DOGE do NOT have the authority to dismantle USAID This is a landmark victory for the Constitution & every worker impacted the Trump-Musk chainsaw campaign

Russia agrees to stop targeting energy infrastructure then immediately bombs energy infrastructure. Trump is putins bitch

Not every day that a case you worked on leads both @nytimes.com & @washingtonpost.com! Musk & DOGE unconstitutionally hijacked & destroyed USAID—our case w/my wonderful colleagues @sddaction.bsky.social & Marziani Stevens Gonzalez proved it

Oh CANADA!

"Many who left held a top-secret security clearance, called Q, that gave them access to information about how nuclear weapons are designed, produced and used, officials said..." www.nytimes.com/2025/03/17/u...

Tomorrow (3/18) morning, I’ll be on The Brian Lehrer Show on WNYC from 10:00 to 10:30AM ET. If you’re in New York, you can catch it live on 93.9 FM or AM 820. Or, if you prefer to stream it, just head to wnyc.org. Hope you’ll tune in! Should be a great conversation.

BREAKING: we won! Wrongly fired FLRA head Susan Tsai Grundmann gets her job back. Another Trump illegal act stricken down.

Trump’s abuse of the DOJ to dismantle the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund lacks all subtlety & Lee Zeldin is desperate to silence opposition The kicker? It's Republican workers who will pay the price for corruption - TN

"If you want to destroy American democracy, you have to take over the courts. That’s exactly what Elon Musk is trying to do with Brad Schimmel." @benwikler.bsky.social on Musk's campaign to buy the WI supreme court and how voters can fight back.

This rebuttal to Donald Trump's attack on me was put together by my @contrariannews.org colleagues. It's so good...

Trump’s tantrum at DOJ targeted me — & all of us fighting his lawlessness These attacks prove we're winning I explain in my weekly publisher's note @contrariannews.org 👇 open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

NEW: Elon Musk’s PAC has dumped millions into an apparent attempt to buy a seat on the WI Supreme Court Has the PAC broken the law while doing it? I’m proud to be part of the bipartisan team holding Musk’s political activities accountable

BREAKING: Donald Trump and Elon Musk CUT security funding for synagogues, Jewish community centers, Jewish days schools, and more. At a time of rising antisemitism, this White House has made us less safe. Tell Trump: Stop blocking synagogue security funding.

If Trump goes to court to challenge Biden’s pardons, he will be laughed out of the building I discussed @ News Nation 👇

Musk pitched DOGE as a solution to eliminate government waste, fraud & abuse But instead of smart reform, Musk & Trump have taken a chainsaw to essential services that millions of Americans rely on That’s not fixing government—it’s gutting it. I discussed @newsnation.bsky.social

WE WON! PI granted in substantial part in our @sddaction.bsky.social appointments clause case re USAID

Reminder: DOGE isnt real. Its a fake department. Fugazi

TONIGHT: @fahrenthold.bsky.social talks to @jonathancapehart.bsky.social on The #LastWord at 10pm ET.

“It was also unclear if Starlink communications were encrypted. At a minimum, the system allows for a network separate from existing White House servers that people on the grounds are able to use, keeping that data separate…” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/17/u...

We win again! Our administrative stay DENIED by the 9th circuit

If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same When money walks , voters talk. Make sure they know this effects everyone in their town and state www.wunc.org/news/2025-03...

This is going to be important: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Here’s my response to Donald Trump lashing out at me today at the DOJ: Me & my colleagues at @sddfund.bsky.social are going to litigate & win even more!

It is one thing to watch a dictator grab power. It is another to hand it to him. I’m headed to the Senate floor now. To cast an emphatic “no.”

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

BREAKING: with our great labor & legal colleagues we are suing to stop the latest Trump admin retaliation—this time they are trying to kill the TSA workers’ union. It’s more illegal revenge because the union has been outspoken—& it will make us all less safe! www.nytimes.com/2025/03/13/u...

‘One last thing’: Trudeau posts message to Canadians on final day as prime minister

If you're having a little trouble getting your day in gear, maybe borrow some energy from Rep. John Larson. Watch: youtu.be/6mFpn8BJLV4?...

Trump and Putin embrace many shared ideas about the world. MAGA-ism and Putinism often echo each other. I explain this ideological convergence here: www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

CALL CHUCK SCHUMER: Tell him DON'T support the CR 📞 202.224.3121

We don't spend a penny on marketing. It's all word of mouth for @costplusdrugs.com That's how we keep prices so low. Please spread the word !

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Uh if the Trump admin is really serious about combating antisemitism I have an idea where they can start …. www.forbes.com/sites/antoni...

Trump legal losses continue to mount: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh3A...

Key Democrats voting 'Hell no!' on GOP funding bill and say Trump owns any govt. shutdown youtu.be/fgPVdTY-bSI?...

Why is a guy with that many business interests in China allowed anywhere near our intelligence agencies? (Except to be debriefed.)

ICYMI: I hosted a Virtual Assembly this week with Martin O’Malley, former commissioner of the Social Security Administration. Watch the full stream here:

I'm a hard NO on the Republican spending bill. On cloture. On all of it. When a wannabe dictator is trying to seize power, it must not be given to him. Not without a fight. open.substack.com/pub/schiffno...

Last month, Trump banned @apnews.com from the WH for refusing to acknowledge his bogus “Gulf of America” We, @sddfund.bsky.social, joined a group of fmr. conservative officials in filing an amicus brief to defend AP’s access The integrity of the First Amendment & fourth estate is on the line

I am in shock at the stupidity of @gavinnewsom.bsky.social inviting Steve Bannon on his podcast. Many of us on the right sacrificed careers to fight Bannon, and Newsom is trying to make a career and a presidential run by building him up. Unforgivable and insane

As Martin O'Malley said on processing Social Security claims, “there is no way around people talking to people.” For millions of seniors, phone calls are the easiest way to get help with the benefits they need to survive.

EPA is terminating more than two dozen protections against air and water pollution. It would overturn limits on soot from smokestacks that have been linked to respiratory problems in humans and premature deaths as well as restrictions on emissions of mercury, a neurotoxin.
