A come-to-Jesus moment for American lawyers, and for America's most important law firms. This is it. This is the moment you always imagined, where you told yourself you would do the right thing -- where you told yourself that your profession would stand up. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires. There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom. Dems need to learn this.

“He has a bit of buffoonery and a ‘Mr. Smith comes to Washington’ vibe." In a new administration defined by malevolence and ineptitude, Ed Martin is an avatar: a typo-spewing henchman eager to help Trump transform the Justice Department into a political tool—and unable to shut up about it.

BREAKING: In past 24 hours, it appears that two journalists — Mohammad Mansour and Hossam Shbat — were specifically targeted and killed by Israel, simply for doing their job: reporting on the devastation. This is deeply troubling and not something I can remotely support as a supporter of Israel.

CLARKSVILLE: @RepMarkGreen can’t show up for a free & open town hall but he can charge $500-$3500 to have coffee with him at a country club Friday? He knows a majority of his constituents can’t afford that. Who does he represent? 🤔

What do you call humans being kidnapped and sent to another country to be imprisoned in shackles and forced to perform intense physical labor while living in horrid conditions under the threat of daily physical violence and rape? Open a history book. You can do it. I believe in you.
