Congrats to you and your team Marc!
I want to take a moment to thank the entire Elias Law Group team who worked on the Texas redistricting case as well as our fearless clients. The thirteen Black and Latino voters we represented stood up to challenge Texas's unprecedented mid-decade redistricting. We all ow them a debt of gratitude.

Raskin: "In the very presence of the victims and survivors, the Speaker said that 'now is a time we should be working on urgent legislative work.' Mr Speaker, justice is urgent legislative work. The truth is urgent legislative work. You were the one who refused to swear in Rep. Grijalva for 50 days"

MBS claims the murder of Khashoggi was "a huge mistake and we're our doing our best that this doesn't happen again."

Louisiana — the red state that Mike Johnson nominally represents — has the second highest percentage of residents enrolled in SNAP in the nation.
They’re pushing this fantasy about these being “Democrat programs” used only in blue states but that’s a PR fantasy divorced from reality.

This shows the rank unprofessionalism in Trump DOJ. Stunning.
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Farm bankruptcies are back in the news, so it's time to pull this chart out again.
Hey look they kept rising during Trump's first term. Then they went way down under Biden.
Now they're up again? So weird. Thanks Farm Bureau for the graphic

Gosh I remember when important government officials accepting a big bag of cash as part of an FBI investigation would be a problem.
On Earth 2.0, this would be The Story of the week, a firestorm of corruption, cover-ups, and scandal. Tom Homan, the thuggish head of Trump’s immigration brute squad was videotaped accepting a $50,000 cash bribe… and the Trump DOJ shut the investigation down.
