I’m old enough to remember when Secretary Hegseth tried to publicly mock Judge Reyes—suggesting that she didn’t know what she was doing when it comes to protecting our national security.
It was … two days ago.

It seems like when you write a decision giving the President king-like powers, you shouldn't be indignant when he acts like a king.

Too many of America’s elected representatives care more about re-election than doing what’s right. Call it Profiles in Careerism. Whatever happened to country over party?

He is at it again. Elon has decided to drop $13 million into a state Supreme Court race. Why? Interestingly Wisconsin doesn't allow car manufacturers to own dealerships in the state and Tesla just sued them for it. Guess who will probably decide the case? New show! open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

The Wisconsin Supreme Court election on April 1st is Elon's next chance to buy our democracy. Let's tell him to go to hell.

Today Donald Trump attacked me by name in a speech at the Department of Justice. Of course I am worried, but courage comes from acting in spite of being worried. I have made my choice: I will continue to speak out, I will continue to litigate, I will continue to stand tall.
I will never bow down.

Friday night Tequila tweet: Fuck any American President who gives a political speech in the Department of Justice’s Great Hall. It’s wrong. Fuck any President who says he’s America’s “chief law enforcement officer.” He’s not.
And shame on us for electing someone who believes he’s above the law.

This past Saturday night, our government grabbed a legal U.S. resident, arrested him, is now detaining him, and is trying to quickly deport him. No charges. No trial. His wife, a U.S. citizen, doesn’t know where he is.
This is what authoritarian regimes do. This shouldn’t happen here.
