Seems like a good day to say how proud I am of the work I did at the Perkins Coie Political Law Group for 8 years and how strongly I recommend both clients and law students to do business with/work at the firm.

I agree with @gavinnewsom.bsky.social's premise that dialogue, common ground, and rediscovery of shared values with a broader coalition of Americans are necessary callings for Democrats But complete capitulation? Total lack of preparation? Wild over-correction? Democrats have so, so lost the plot

You might not always agree with your teammate's decision, but you're always supposed to have his back. Otherwise you're not a team at all.

I wrote an open memo to liberal donors, pro-democracy funders, and anyone stuck in inaction because they just don't know where to start. After last night's speech, no more waiting, help is needed now. This post offers a roadmap, please feel free to share it broadly www.linkedin.com/pulse/open-l...

Good to see SCOTUS uphold foreign aid, but this headline (like the dissenting justices) misses the point. It is Congress, not a judge, who is requiring payment. Court is applying the law and Constitution to prevent Trump from defying Congress!

Could SOMEONE on MSNBC speak up for innocent trans Americans who were ruthlessly made Trump's pawns and punching bags and political cover tonight? @maddow.msnbc.com, @nicollewallace.bsky.social, @jenpsaki.msnbc.com, @stephruhle.bsky.social, @chrislhayes.bsky.social Just one word in their defense?

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Permanent RIF, or cleaning house in order to hire Trump loyalists to serve as political attack agents? Because those are two very, very different things.

Has there been a more consequential SOTU/Joint Address in recent memory? They’re usually a healthy mix of bluster, bombast, and genuinely important civic duty, but there are three potentially world-tilting themes I’ll be watching for tonight:

I think this from @jonfavs.bsky.social on today's @podsaveamerica.crooked.com really nails it re: Trump's drivers. Kompromat? Almost certainly. Business debt to Moscow? Sure. But more than anything, it's just... smallness disguised as bigness. Fear masked by anger. Weakness in drag as strength.

Trump said a few minutes ago that Zelenskyy should be more appreciative. Here's the transcript from the beginning of his joint address to Congress on 12/21/22. Facts are for suckers, I guess.

When Trump fired the top JAG officers I recalled his plan to have the military seize voting machines after 2020. Back then it was Rudy Giuliani who told him there was no legal basis to do this. Who will stop him now that all the JAGs are gone? My explainer: www.criticalmass.vote/p/flashback-...
