We have had a lot of success fighting against Trump and election deniers in court. I am confident that won't change. What I worry about are the pillars of democracy that can't be fixed in court as well as the weaponization of DOJ against Trumps political opponents and free and fair elections.

In case there was any question in your mind, yes, voting to take food off of people's table and starve them while also taking away life-saving healthcare is outright and unquestionably evil.

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

Trinity, TX voted 83% for Trump in 2024. If you live there—or anywhere—please do your homework next time. Republicans have never actually helped working people. Not once. It’s all talk!

Phang: It’s time for federal judges to acknowledge that they have lifetime appointments—and that should give them the courage to uphold the rule of law, but also to put some damn teeth into the court orders they’re issuing.

This time, it was ‘just’ deportations, but this spits in the face of how the relationship between the IC and the administration works.
POTUS and his Cabinet are the “customers” - they (should) rely on accurate, unbiased intelligence products to make decisions.

Why has Kid Rock not been arrested for obstructing ICE arrests after his restaurant sent undocumented workers home last week so they wouldn’t be swept up in an ICE raid, but Judge Dugan directing a man through a different door is a federal offense?
