If one question tonight was: is the Florida result gonna make GOP officials sweat what's happening at the polls... the answer is clearly yes, regardless of Fine's victory.

Strom Thurmond made his Senate record while fighting against Black voting rights.
It stood for 67 years.

We've heard concerning things about the Social Security Administration lately, so I decided to check for myself.
SSA says Wednesday is the best day to call, so I called then.
Their system told me there would be a two-hour wait time, told me to call back, and then just hung up.

We will not blindly follow illegal orders because Donald Trump wrote them down on a piece of paper.
Illinois follows the laws of the land – not the decrees of an aspiring king hell bent on disenfranchising millions of voters who deserve to have their voice heard.

Paul Weiss is merely rearranging the proverbial deck chairs on the Titanic. With this administration, there will be no legitimate legal system and no need for actual lawyers. The failure to recognize that will lead to the demise of the legal profession in its entirety. Fight back while you can.

Boasberg: OK, so I will hear from you from noon tomorrow—and I will memorialize this in a written order, since my oral orders apparently don't carry much weight

Judge Bredar is frustrated with the attorney for the federal government, who is largely talking past his questions.
Bredar: "Move fast and break things. Move fast? Fine. Break things? If that involves breaking the law, then that becomes problematic."
