My law firm is currently litigating 61 voting and election cases, including 12 redistricting cases. We have four cases in one stage or another before the Supreme Court.

These cases β€” and others like them β€”
will play a pivotal role in whether we have free and fair elections in 2026 and 2028.

I suggest everyone become very, very familiar with this piece by law Professor @david.noll.org. I suspect you will be referring to it often. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/if-t...

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.

Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No
Me: See the problem?

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.

So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.

So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks.

We need to ban congressional stock tradingβ€”and I've got a bill for that.

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected β€” or else.

Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this.

We can't. We need answers.

WARNER: Can you explain how it helps natl security or our trade balance - I loved your fancy Greek formula which was bad math on steroids - how with a trade surplus Australia got hit with a 10% tariff as well?

GREER: Australia has the lowest rate available

WARNER: We have a trade surplus!

Congressional Republicans’ budget plan has:
❌ $880 billion cut to Medicaid
❌ $230 billion cut to SNAP food aid
πŸ’Έ $7 TRILLION in tax cuts skewed to billionaire GOP donors
Β 
This bill is a cruel betrayal of hard-working families. I’m voting NO.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

Make America Sick Again RFK Jr.’s War on Public Health Is Putting Lives at Risk

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved.

* very unconstitutional

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculousβ€”they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

There’s so much GOP cope happening today.

β€œAt least Wisconsin approved voter ID so libs can’t cheat”

Wisconsin has required voter ID since 2015.

You spent millions of dollars and got your ass kicked for a rule that already existed and that fundamentally changes nothing.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

I called my senators today and told them I want Cory Booker to be the senate minority leader.

We can’t hold hearings. We don’t have subpoena power. We can’t pass budgets. But we CAN filibuster, and we CAN change party leadership.
