Democracy being in peril would feel different. I wouldn't be a poll observer in Chesterfield County. My neighbors wouldn't be poll workers. If democracy is weakened, the outcry will come from people you never hear a peep from about politics.

Part of the problem is that the word democracy has become overloaded. It's not democracy that feels in peril to me right now. It's more like state capacity, rule of law, constitutional rights, and truth (scientific, historical & personal truth). But not democracy.

Not seeing this reported anywhere, so putting it out there: Stripe is having a problem where it says it deposited money into your account but the money isn't there. I called Chase and they told me Stripe is having an incident right now but it should be resolved today.

This abuse of federal law enforcement power to disrupt the administration of justice in Virginia is contemptible and must be rejected by those of us left who still care about the rule of law in our country. 3/3

No, they want to create an underclass of people who cannot avail themselves of the American justice system: an underclass of people who have no choice but to fall out of compliance with the law because they know that if they do comply, they will sit in an ICE detention center. 2/

ICE is at the Chesterfield County Courthouse arresting our neighbors who are respecting the law by showing up for court. There can be no better evidence that Trump and Republicans do not want to arrest criminals. 1/3

From eviction as a child to working my way through college, I’ve lived the American Dream.

While politicians in Washington jeopardize the promise of America, I'm going to fight to protect it.

I’m stepping up as part of a new generation of leadership. I hope you'll join me.

Excited to announce that I have closed on the purchase of a $24.95 personal pan pizza and wings combo from Pizza Hut! Grateful for all the hard work put in by my advisors at JP Morgan Chase to finance the transaction and Sullivan & Cromwell LLP as trusted legal counsel.

Has there been any effort to have their c3 status removed and excise taxes imposed? How can Heritage possibly be a public charity!

DAFs can only fund public charities, which can’t really do political spending…. I don’t see how DAFs are relevant here. What am I missing?

The 10 Democratic senators who voted for cloture on Trump’s CR are not made for this moment. An error in judgment when there’s no room for error.

Disappearing & deporting an American resident who hasn’t been charged with a crime simply because their activism offends the President of the United States is about as textbook a violation of the First Amendment as one could come up with.

Trump Officials Mark Hundreds of Federal Properties for Potential Sale Eliminating β€œunderutilized” federal office space has become a fixation for Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency operation.

Potential buyers beware: the sale price of the building will establish a fair market value for "just compensation" purposes under the Fifth Amendment, and federal property will be condemned in 4 yrs when the United States repurchases it at a forced sale.

Ronald Reagan is the root of so many of today's problems. Let’s avoid whitewashing his record and retconning him into some sort of fine statesman.

So excited and proud to watch @lvedkhanna.bsky.social build up @vayd.bsky.social the same way as MRAYD has grown under her leadership. From fundraising to organizing, she’s made young people a bigger force in Richmond and she’ll do it statewide!

Dozens of Clinical Trials Have Been Frozen in Response to Trump’s USAID Order The stop-work order on U.S.A.I.D.-funded research has left thousands of people with experimental drugs and devices in their bodies, with no access to monitoring or care.

Abandoning these people in the middle of clinical trials, with drugs or devices inside them, is truly evil stuff. The Republican Party could have at least allowed an orderly wind-down period of a few weeks or months, but they'd rather watch people suffer.

What happens if Musk illegally uses the Treasury system to steal $1 trillion by transferring the money to a Trump or a cabal of folks, and Trump just pardons them.

There aren't any checks left if Congress doesn't reassert itself, and by the time it does, it may be too late.
