West Virginia, South Carolina, and Ohio are sending National Guard troops to D.C. to support an already completely unnecessary occupation of an American city.

The Republican Party is occupied by a fascist regime hellbent on using every method at its disposal to destroy democracy.

America, wake up.

We must insist the Supreme Court protect voting rights and democracy. In 2015-17, I litigated and won 4 redistricting cases in the Supreme Court. In the last few years my firm has litigated two others in the Court and won both.

Don't give in to the cynics. When we fight we can win!
