I put together some resources to help folks reach out to their federal delegation (particularly John Curtis) in an email I just sent to constituents. Hope this is helpful for followers here as well to share their opposition to HR 1!

MEMORANDUM OPINION
May� 2025 [Dkt. #15; Dkt. #16]
The cornerstone of the American system of justice is an independent judiciary and
an independent bar willing to tackle unpopular cases, however daunting. The Founding
Fathers knew this! Accordingly, they took pains to enshrine in the Constitution certain
rights that would serve as the foundation for that independence. Little wonder that in the
nearly 250 years since the Constitution was adopted no Executive Order has been issued
challenging these fundamental rights. Now, however, several Executive Orders have been
issued directly challenging these rights and that independence. One of these Orders is the
subject of this case. For the reasons set forth below, I have concluded that this Order must
be struck down in its entirety as unconstitutional. Indeed, to rule otherwise would be
unfaithful to the judgment and vision of the Founding Fathers!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreiexsiazix25xfmhupeoevakheo7tg2subqyipofbquqfy4suwt6pi@jpeg)

Corruption.
A Trump ally has told CNN’s parent company that they could avoid future lawsuits from the Trump administration if they make a documentary about Melania Trump or a TV show about Donald Trump Jr., which would involve paying the Trump family large amounts of money.
A Donald Trump ally has a suggestion for Warner Bros. Discovery: Why don't you pay us or give us a TV show?
Donald Trump is suing some media companies. But he's also open to deals with them, like one with WBD that could include money, programming, or both.

How many partners at #SkaddenArps and #PaulWeisslaw will go on vacation this summer with no thought about easily crossing borders while immigrants they have now abandoned in their deal with Trump will restrict their right to travel out of fear of being disappeared.

Will #SkaddenArps and #PaulWeisslaw be willing to represent students and others facing deportation for free speech opposing Israel's violence in Gaza? Or is supporting Trump's anti-Arab, anti-Islam agenda a feature and not a bug of their surrender.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

The way this works is that you either defend Khalil's First Amendment rights, no matter what you think about his specific views, or else you acquiesce to a totalitarian dystopia where the government can disappear people for expressing opinions opposed by the regime. There's really no middle ground.
Good piece on many university presidents' cowardly refusal to speak out against the Trump administration's ghastly, unlawful abduction and detention of Mahmoud Khalil in retaliation against his constitutionally protected speech. No surprise, but a shame nonetheless. slate.com/life/2025/03...
Why Isn’t the Entire Country Terrified by the Arrest of Mahmoud Khalil?
Universities are running scared. But this is no time to be timid.
