The Democratic superlawyer Trump can’t silence: ‘We are in the break-glass moment of American history’ Elias has long defended high-profile Democrats and election law, resisting Trump’s crackdown on his opponents

The Guardian has a piece on our own Marc Elias of @democracydocket.com .

It seems Donald Trump doesn't like him.

NEW: Judge Beryl Howell granted my motion for expedited review in my FOIA case for the Epstein files, and invited me to file a motion for summary judgment. Which we did, and which you can read here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-ive-fi...

😂😂

Swalwell: There’s going to be a Democratic majority in just over a year. To the FCC chairperson and anyone in involved in these dirty deals: get a lawyer and save your records because you’re going to be in this room answering questions

THREAD: THE TEXTS: I’m not ready to comment on the veracity of the alleged texts sent from the shooter to his roommate, but if the FBI fabricated them because they have marching orders to pin this on the LGBTQ community or "antifa", then the shooter is going to walk free. 1/

The right wing can complain all they want, but we will continue to fight for free and fair elections and against GOP collusion to undermine them.

Before he was a Senator, a candidate for President, and our greatest champion in the fight against oligarchy, Bernie Sanders was the four-term Mayor of Burlington, VT.

I sat down with Bernie in Astoria to talk about the lessons he learned—and the work ahead.

Yes, release the Epstein files!!!

Release the Epstein files!!!

No one is covering the threats to our democracy like the 20-person team at Democracy Docket. No venture capital, no corporate overloads, no compromises. Just pro-democracy news, information and analysis.

Help support their efforts to hold power to account and keep you informed. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Robert Reich, who worked for Ford & Carter, served as labor Sec for Clinton, and was on Obama's economic transition advisory board — cites progressives like @zohrankmamdani @grahamformaine.bsky.social & @abdulelsayed.bsky.social as the “future” for Dems.

Whoa.

Crockett: There were lots of modeling agencies that were doing things and the modeling agency was basically a farce. And there's a lot of people that we want to talk to. And a lot of these models came from foreign countries. I'm going to just leave it there.

Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

😂🤡🥴

Zohran shakes hands with a barbershop owner.

Zohran shakes hand with a kid.

Zohran walking down the street with three elected officials.

I visited barbershops in Harlem this afternoon with Assemblymembers Al Taylor, Jordan Wright and Manny De Los Santos, and talked about my plan to make it easier for small businesses to open and thrive in our city.

FYI: the fundraising ALL goes to the redistricting effort - not to a Newsom POTUS run. I checked.

WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “Some people may not like how @gavinnewsom.bsky.social is talking. You may not find his posts funny. It is absolutely working. His fundraising #’s just came out. $6.2 million THIS WEEK. 200,000 donors… Dems feel like ‘finally someone is fighting for us’.”

Newsom: We got here because the President is struggling. We got here because the President is one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history. We got here because he recognizes that he will lose the election.

BREAKING: We filed a class action lawsuit against ICE for denying people access to lawyers and subjecting them to inhumane conditions at 26 Federal Plaza in New York.

ICE is illegally holding people here for weeks, often without adequate access to medical care, food, or legal counsel.

Today we learned Andrew Cuomo is directly coordinating with Donald Trump, even as this President sends masked agents to rip our neighbors off the streets and guts the social services so many New Yorkers rely on.

It’s disqualifying and a betrayal of our city.

🔥 “Respectfully, he’s making up some shit.”

Rep. jolanda jones, a lawyer, says Gov. Abbott threatening House @texasdemocrats.bsky.social with felonies is “smoke and mirrors”

NBC News: Ghislaine Maxwell was ineligible to be transferred to a minimum security prison camp — like the one she was transferred to in Texas — because she is a convicted sex offender, according to the Bureau of Prison's own designation policy.

Rep. Bryan Steil (R-WI) —dragged at his own town hall.

He should have known when it kicked off w/constituents reciting the Pledge of Allegiance w/extra emphasis on “justice for all.”

Then came the truth:
“I don’t think you’re the right fit for us anymore.”

Even telling him it’s time to step down.

Virginia Giuffre’s brother: I think we were shocked by it—especially the use of the term “stolen.” Because she’s not an object. She’s a person. Someone who was recruited at Mar-a-Lago—his property… it just kind of makes us wonder… how much he knew

After I was denied entry to an ICE facility in my district, many of you said social media posts weren’t enough. You’re right.

Here’s what’s next.
