BIG NEWS: The Trump Administration is ordered to provide docs and depos as to its deal with El Salvador to imprison immigrants at terror prison. I break down this court order and why it’s going to make some important info very public: youtu.be/sca8xNYcMHg?...

Agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene once every 100 years. This is that time. (Republicans didn’t read their own bill.)

I’m your Shadow Press Secretary and here is the TRUTH:

The U.S. Department of Justice issued a formal warning to the Wisconsin Elections Commission, accusing it of violating federal law by failing to provide voters with a required complaint process under the Help America Vote Act.

Isn’t it funny how all you see in the media now is “illegal immigrant” or “illegal alien” being hunted down for alleged crimes, etc…they are pushing it hard.

Trump slashes funding for FEMA and other natural disaster relief programs just in time for things like hurricane season. Trump wants all Americans to suffer, regardless of party affiliation. Why? Because he doesn’t care about you. youtu.be/Y8PQn3OdRj8?...

Maybe this is old fashion, but the goal of government is not to hasten the deaths of Americans. Republicans should reread the bible – Jesus did exactly the opposite of what they’re doing with their Big Ugly Bill.

Creating a world free of bigotry, where everyone — no matter their sexual orientation — can live and love as their true selves is something I have fought for since I was Mayor of Burlington. Happy Pride month to everyone in the LGBTQ community.

Oligarchs are addicted to greed. In 1982, there were just 13 US billionaires worth $14 billion. Today, while 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, there are 903 US billionaires worth $6.8 trillion. Enough is enough. We need an economy that works for all, not just the top 1%.

Had a great convo with @phillipspobrien.bsky.social over on sub, about Ukrainian brilliance, why Russia won’t use nukes, and American Democracy. Take a look! adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/adam-and-p...

NEW: A right-wing think tank known for drafting model legislation for state GOP lawmakers, is expanding its state-level anti-voting efforts. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

"To actually draw the maps, PILF turned to Adam Kincaid, the executive director of the National Republican Redistricting Trust, the party’s national redistricting organization." www.democracydocket.com/a-texas-gerr...

DC Bar members today is the last day to vote for Diane Seltzer and to prevent Brad - brother of Pam Bondi - from leading the DC Bar! Go vote!

The GOP Tax Scam rips healthcare away from millions of everyday Americans. Yes, that’s a disgusting abomination.

“White House Soirée” aka: a money making scheme for Trump.

here's today's post: "no gay boat for the Navy, because what if it turns all the other boats gay" — we’re trapped in the dumbest possible timeline. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

If Musk & his pals are so concerned about increasing the national debt in Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, why don’t they cut the $664 billion in tax breaks for the 1%; the $420 billion in tax breaks for large profitable corporations; & the $150 billion in increased military spending?

Someone just sent me a group email making the case for Jamie Dimon for president. No. No more rich oligarchs

🚨NEW: The Republicans who run one of Texas’ biggest counties have recruited the national GOP’s top map-drawer, as well as a leading Washington, D.C.-based anti-voting group, to ram through a new gerrymander that aims to expand their majority. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/top...

Proud that my law firm is representing the plaintiffs in each of these lawsuits. "Since late August, three states — Louisiana, New Hampshire and Wyoming — have approved proof-of-citizenship laws, and voting rights groups have sued over them." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Harvey Milk was a veteran, a dedicated public servant, and an LGBTQ trailblazer. He showed courage and grit in just about everything he did. Despite Trump’s best efforts, the president will never tarnish that legacy.

Today, Karoline Leavitt claimed Donald Trump is delivering on his promises. Wait a damn minute, that’s a lie! Even Trump’s billionaire ally Elon called his budget “a disgusting abomination.” For once we agree, Elon. Watch. Share. Call your Senator. Demand they vote NO. #WaitADamnMinute #WePersist

When Mr. Musk, the wealthiest man alive & major campaign contributor, expresses strong distaste for Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, Republicans will listen & obey. That means more cuts to Medicaid, nutrition & education. The oligarchs want it ALL. We’re not going to let that happen.

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

NEW: The Republican National Committee filed a motion Tuesday to intervene in ongoing federal litigation against President Donald Trump’s executive order on voting, which aimed to restrict voter access nationally under the guise of election integrity. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Do you guys remember oh a while back when Ukraine took out 30 percent of Russias bomber force and their A50s? Ya that was cool and really bad for Russia

More tariffs, it must be Tuesday. TACO Tuesday.

Speaker Johnson says there's “a moral component” to Trump's "big, beautiful" bill. Really?   Is it “moral” to cut nutrition assistance for hungry kids?   Is it “moral” to eliminate health care for 13.7 million Americans so the 1% gets a $664 billion tax break? I don’t think so.

Trump wants to make massive cuts to WIC’s fruit and vegetable assistance to low-income mothers and young children. This will take away healthy foods from families. So much for “Make America Healthy Again.”

Parking Lot Lawyer Alina Habba gets sued for violating Newark Mayor Ras Baraka’s constitutional rights. My latest for the Katie Phang News channel on YouTube: youtu.be/9aI9FNidFGA

When I founded Democracy Docket in 2020, the most important litigation involved efforts to make voting easier in the middle of a pandemic. Though the Republican Party opposed these efforts, the Department of Justice remained on the sideline. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka (D) sued acting U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey Alina Habba Tuesday over his arrest while protesting the Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts last month. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

If you are surprised that Musk is now bashing the GOP budget bill, I suggest you go back and read what I wrote in early February. For Trump, this has always been the plan. "Musk may believe he is doing all of this to cut the size of the government. But that is not Trump’s plan."

Donald Trump doesn’t care about women. Deep down, he hates them. This is his punishment. 👇👇👇👇👇👇 www.yahoo.com/news/trump-a...

The GOP Tax Scam is a disgusting abomination. Truer words have never been spoken.

In South Korea, Democratic Party liberal candidate, Lee Jae-myung, has officially won & will be the country's next president. Yesterday, I did a video breaking down the significance of this election and how far-right Koreans are mimicking Donald Trump’s rhetoric: www.youtube.com/watch?v=legJ...

The American public deserves to know that those serving at the highest levels of government are free from financial conflicts of interest. Needless to say, this administration appears to be awash in such corruption. I'm determined to get answers.

It's time for the Democrats, especially on the Oversight Committee, to step up and bring the heat. @repjasmine.bsky.social is exactly the person we need for this moment.

A guy who heads a right-wing group told Congress today that I am a "Democratic 'super-lawyer' whose partisanship is unrivaled." I feel seen...

Anyone else think this is all for show and a farce, as Elon tries to recover from the damage aligning with Trump cost him?? 👇👇👇👇 abcnews.go.com/Politics/mus...

Due process is fundamental to America. This should not be up for debate.

Congress is back in session—and your senators need to hear from you. Tell them to vote NO on the Trump budget that would sell out America to give billionaires a tax break they don't even need.

The Trump Administration is slashing funds that keep our buildings safe from earthquakes, flooding, and fire. Since when is protecting people and property from natural disaster - waste, fraud, or abuse?
