Mark Kelly: "The message he sent a couple days ago was he declared that loyalty to the Constitution is now punishable by death. Those are serious words coming from the president. He's trying to intimidate us. But I'm not going to be intimidated."

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace β€œthe American people want” with β€œtroll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

β€žQuiet, Piggy!β€œ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
Itβ€˜s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

AOC on MTG retiring:
"She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office.

She is saying a lot but her ACTIONS have not backed up the rhetoric. For all her talk, she's STILL voting with them to gut healthcare and advance self-dealing corruption schemes."

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ Zelensky: The crux of the entire diplomatic situation is that it was Russia, and only Russia, that started this war, and it is Russia, and only Russia, that has been refusing to end it throughout the full-scale invasion.

Video of this event now up. One of my favorite Qs: "Is there scientific value to confrontational discourse on Bluesky and other platforms?" (50:05)

The event included a short talk by me, a Q&A with a fabulous moderator (Kellianne Kornick) and Q&A with the audience.

Neither a scientist nor a physician, he has no business running HHS or making recommendations about research or health. 🧬🧫🩺

Telling your mob of supporters to storm the Capitol and stop the ratification of a democratic election? No problem

Reminding soldiers of the oath they swore? PROBLEM

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.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.
