My law firm is currently litigation 47 voting and election cases in 20 states. Democracy is still on the docket and it is winning.

I really wish reporters would stop saying that there is an effort by the Trump administration to combat antisemitism. It is quite the opposite. There is an effort to foment antisemitism. forward.com/fast-forward...

The Dow is now headed for its worst April since 1932 -- the very worst year of the Great Depression.

Despite Trump’s kindergarten-level reasoning, it’s clear as day that he’s defying the Supreme Court’s unanimous order. What's Schumer going to do now?

If the Trump administration truly cared about the real problem of antisemitism (and not just as a ruse to bludgeon universities to curb academic freedom) how about starting by condemning the violence against PA Governor Shapiro and his family on Passover.

no one should be praising an arsonist who suddenly got bored with the flames

We wouldn’t be here if SCOTUS had allowed the January 6th trial to go forward as scheduled.

This is funny. And the serious problem with the NYT is it misinforms about reality. Not with inaccuracy so much as emphasis, perspective, and framing. That makes it a bad news source. Go to the Guardian, or Wired, or others/ independent sources. You don't need the NYT or LA Times, or WaPo.

According to @chenoweth.bsky.social’s work, regimes change or collapse when 3.5% of the population takes to the streets. Yesterday was just shy of 1%. www.bbc.com/future/artic...

In the crowd in NYC. No way of knowing how many people are here. Tremendous mob.

“These are normal, everyday people who are saying I’ve had enough. I’ve seen institutions fall. I’ve seen universities, I’ve seen businesses, I’ve seen law firms not stand up, not support our liberal democracy. So what am I going to do as an individual?” “That’s what tomorrow is about.” - Ezra

My Latest: Cory Booker showed us what courage looks like by standing up and speaking out in one’s town square. He showed us how it can help shape reality. He demonstrated that it can inspire others and thus can make a real difference in the fight for democracy.

It’s stunning to me that the New York Times did not put the story on the bloodbath at the NIH, CDC, and FDA on its front page this morning.

He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

Are you listening? It’s the least you can do. Powerful, substantive, passionate. A clarion call to stand. www.youtube.com/live/rCUK2Vb...

Bless Cory Booker for staying up all night to speak out against these evil morons. This is the kind of fight that we are all looking for.

Sen. Bill Cassidy, you violated the Hippocratic oath when you supported RFK Jr.'s nomination and you own this—and all the horrific consequences to come.

Senator @booker.senate.gov is still on the floor. 16 hours and 24 minutes. He is now blocking the confirmation of Matthew Whitaker to NATO. GO, CORY, GO!

Turns out Le Pen is not mightier than the fraud.

🚨BREAKING: Federal court rules that the Pennsylvania date requirement for mail-in ballot violates the First and 14th Amendments. Counties cannot reject ballots from counting undated and wrongly dated mail-in ballots. A HUGE victory for my law firm, our clients DSCC and DCCC and the voters of PA!

President Musk is getting $8 million every day from government contracts while Republicans plan to cut Social Security.

Good morning. Listen, you have to just decide. They are not taking the Black Smithsonian. Resolve it in your spirit.

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

Do you know who this is? A civil rights protester? No. It’s C.B. King, a civil rights LAWYER who was clubbed over the head by a local sheriff when King arrived at jail to check on his client - a white civil rights protester.He continued his work & influenced a generation. Lawyers under pressure?

Hope I'm not speaking out of turn here but... I already knew the Trump administration was full of incompetent boobs. Incompetent boobage was literally what white folks voted for.

i am a professional politics knower and without passing judgment on today’s little argument i will say that i agree with this. no one is entitled to a seat and if someone feels they could better represent the area they should go for it.

The number of reported bird flu cases could drop to zero if we’d simply stop testing for it. by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

"Did Trump just defy a court order?" YES, motherfuckers. Why in the fuck is that so hard for people to say? The judge told him to stop doing something, he did it anyway, IN DEFIANCE OF THE JUDGES RULINGS! WHY ARE PEOPLE COMMITTED TO ADDRESSING FASCISM IN THE PASSIVE VOICE????

If Dems were unwilling to fight over cabinet nominees and unwilling to fight over the budget/shutdown, it’s safe to assume they’re not going to fight over anything.
