There is no constitutional right of law enforcement to detain me, throw me to the ground, and then put five bullets in my back while masked and unidentified.

There is a right to vote.

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

My law firm intervened in every case DOJ has filed to gain access to states' sensitive voting data. So far we have won several and lost none. But this is going to be a long fight for free and fair elections.

Today, construction on the nation’s largest infrastructure project came to a halt - with hundreds laid off - because Donald Trump is out of control.

The good news: political pressure still works, and we can use our voices to make sure he doesn’t have the last word.

Since Americans first witnessed the corrupted title display which Trump added to the Kennedy Center, we’ve watched him destroy our national memorials, federal buildings, and the laws which protect them. When will Congress step up?

America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers.

And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate.

Today it roars in Minneapolis and around the country — at the jack-booted thugs occupying our cities.

How SCOTUS shapes economic rights for the little guy with Robert Reich
My testimony at John Roberts’ confirmation hearing. How SCOTUS shapes economic rights for the little guy with Robert Reich

Chief Justice John Roberts turns 71 today.

Two decades ago, I warned the Senate that confirming Roberts to the Supreme Court would be a disaster for working people.

I'm sad to say I was proven right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ir5kmPdRJLw

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

It’s time for the Supreme Court to finally issue a ruling on tariffs. The Court has already recognized that tariffs function as a tax on the American people. A president cannot unilaterally impose new taxes on American citizens that power belongs to Congress alone.

Danes Feel Betrayed and Bewildered by Trump Amid Greenland Threats The American president’s vow to get Greenland, the semiautonomous Danish territory, has thrown the tiny, pro-American Nordic nation into crisis.

Residents of Denmark say they feel betrayed, bewildered and frightened by President Trump’s threats to take over Greenland. The semiautonomous Danish territory is a source of national identity and pride for the tiny, pro-American Nordic nation.
