The House of Representatives need to vote to impeach. That’s not going to happen in a House more than 50% Republican.

You mean the States’ Secretary of State who have been looking into voter fraud for more than a decade? It’s also a societal issue where citizens do not register to vote and voters do not show up at the polls.

A reminder for these times.

The ABA supports the rule of law. Read full message: www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

ABA It has been three weeks since Inauguration Day. Most Americans recognize that newly elected leaders bring change. That is expected. But most Americans also expect that changes will take place in accordance with the rule of law and in an orderly manner that respects the lives of affected individuals and the work they have been asked to perform. Instead, we see wide-scale affronts to the rule of law itself, such as attacks on constitutionally protected birthright citizenship, the dismantling of USAID and the attempts to criminalize those who support lawful programs to eliminate bias and enhance diversity. We have seen attempts at wholesale dismantling of departments and entities created by Congress without seeking the required congressional approval to change the law. There are efforts to dismiss employees with little regard for the law and protections they merit, and social media announcements that disparage and appear to be motivated by a desire to inflame without any stated factual basis. This is chaotic. It may appeal to a few. But it is wrong. And most Americans recognize it is wrong. It is also contrary to the rule of law. The American Bar Association supports the rule of law. That means holding governments, including our own, accountable under law. We stand for a legal process that is orderly and fair. We have consistently urged the administrations of both parties to adhere to the rule of law. We stand in that familiar place again today. And we do not stand alone. Our courts stand for the rule of law as well.

Someone at the American Bar Association ate their Wheaties this morning.

Because following laws is so 2024…

Pete Buttigieg taking "serious look" at Michigan Senate race in 2026 The former transportation secretary is exploring his options.

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is "taking a serious look" at running for the Michigan senate seat left open by the surprise retirement of Sen. Gary Peters, Axios has learned.

I am very much in favor of merit-based hiring and high standards for jobs with life and death implications. Which is why I oppose confirming Pete Hegseth, RFK JR, Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

White text on a blue background: "President Trump’s blanket pardoning of those who engaged in a violent attempt to block the results of a free, fair and accurate presidential election is a stunningly callous disregard for law and order. No matter our politics, we should all be able to agree that the tragedy at our US Capitol on January 6, 2021 is to be condemned and those who broke the law should be held accountable. Anything less is an affront to democracy and everything we are as Americans."
