My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 24 states. Two points:
This is a very large caseload for this point in the election cycle.
It is more evenly spread across states than usual which reflects the creep of voter suppression laws into even safe GOP states.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process.
So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel.
Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

The Department of Homeland Security is NOT making our country safer.
They're ignoring immigration laws.
They're handcuffing moms, zip tying children and disappearing them without hearings or due process.
They're weaponizing DHS to purge people from the population.
