How did a country that boasts so loudly about freedom and democracy become the worldโ€™s biggest arsenal and is that the legacy we want to leave for another generation?

If youโ€™re a journalist or lawmaker still planning to attend the White House Correspondents Dinner after WHCA cancelled Amber Ruffin to placate a petty tyrant, you need to dig deep and ask yourself why youโ€™re really still going because it sure as hell isnโ€™t to celebrate the First Amendment.

Addressing Risks From WilmerHale By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:Sectionย 1.ย ย Background.

Retaliating against lawyers for challenging govt action is taking a sledgehammer to the rule of law. Lawyers need to stand up loudly in protest even if they face personal risk. Itโ€™s our duty to all those clients who have entrusted us with the honor of practicing law in the first place

Seeing both the Paul Weiss law firm and Columbia University bend the knee on the same day is so disheartening

Seeing 34,000 people show up in Denver is so encouraging

Statement from Boulder Progressives opposing Colorado HB25-1208 - Local Governments Tip Offsets for Tipped Employees โ€” Boulder Progressives We are deeply troubled that HB 25-1208 is an end-run by business owners on the careful compromises that were struck, to the detriment of hardworking hourly employees in tipped positions in Boulder, Boulder County, Denver, and Edgewater.

"In four local jurisdictions, people supporting the needs of low-wage employees worked hard with their local leaders to raise the minimum wage, striking the right balance between workers and owners of businesses for their individual communities."

This is a bill a Pennsylvania man named Chad received in the mail a few days after being released from the county jail in Harrisburg.

I had a lot of people asking me so I wrote an explainer: Here's how you can help the incarcerated firefighter battling the blazes in Southern California this week:

One of the NYPD brass said โ€œthis isnโ€™t blue bloodsโ€ when explaining they canโ€™t just immediately find the guy and I like that years of copaganda have set standards cops canโ€™t meet and might be contributing to peopleโ€™s correct perception that cops donโ€™t effectively stop crime or find killers.

We can post all we want about what the Democratic Party should do, but none of that has anywhere near as much influence as a memo counseling the sidelining of โ€˜core party activistsโ€™ written by a big donor.

Yellow Scene drops lawsuit against Boulder following release of video from police shooting Yellow Scene Magazineโ€™s lawsuit against the city of Boulder over the release of police video footage from an officer-involved shooting last year has been dismissed.

It takes way too much effort to get Boulder PD to comply with the law. After over nine months and one lawsuit, they've finally released bodycam video they were required to disclose at the beginning of the year.
