Elias Law Group is litigating 85 voting and election cases in 40 states. This is the largest litigation docket we have ever carried as a firm and I expect new cases to be filed this week.

We are not done fighting and we are not done winning.βš–οΈπŸ—³οΈπŸ₯Š

Hey, Austin Smith! Thanks for proving once more that with Reich-Wingers, every accusation is a confession. #ElectionFraud #AustinSmith #TPUSA

Please note that Talarico is very much about separation of church and state. Have you heard his speeches? I love Crockett, too, but he is much more likely to defeat a Republican. We need a Democratic senator from Texas. Keep your eyes on the prize.

DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officers’ lies are exposed in court String of embarrassing defeats for prosecutors as experts condemn DoJ effort to cast people as β€˜violent perpetrators’

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending. . . there have been no convictions.

Is this true? doesn't make much sense, as I assume he was after Trump.

Dear euro and Canadian friends, boycott us. Never come here, don’t buy shit until we clean up our house. We understand and aren’t mad and in fact we need you to help kill the economy so we can get this shit done.

K thanks!!

Trump should have to testify too. Read this & act: It’s time to stop protecting rich and powerful men who rape children and others who made that possible, whoever they are. Later this month, Bill and Hillary Clinton will testify on Capitol Hill. joycevance.substack.com/p/arresting-...

As the owner of two EVs, I have to say that we did not pay more than we would have for an SUV. Shop around, make a deal, settle for less than the full, unneeded package dealers want to sell you. We take the cars in every 5,000 miles for wheel rotation. We run them off our solar panels. Great!

Former Prince Andrew's Arrest Is A Wake-Up Call Even King Charles recognizes the need for accountability in the continuing horror of the Epstein sex crime operation

β€œThe coming years will prove that they [the Epstein class] have unleashed a fury in America that will not end without both accountability and an end to the extreme inequality that poisons our society.”

Supreme Court strikes down Trump’s tariffs It’s a rare loss for the president from a conservative-led court and a major rebuke of his economic program.

We need to be kinder to humans, the animals, and the Earth.

It really is that simple.

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal.

Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.
