I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

I am usually more sanguine than some others when the Supreme Court hands down nasty opinions, but y'all, I am really stuck on Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo.
Presidential immunity was dangerous but unsurprising. Many other shadow docket rulings have been dumbfounding. Today was nakedly invidious.

This morning, ICE rolled into a Home Depot parking lot using a moving truck loaded w/agents, like a Trojan horse, to snatch up Latino workers. Whoever they could find. No idea if they were undocumented or not.
That’s not enforcement. That’s racial profiling, and violates a standing court order.

I want to talk directly about something deeply troubling—and increasingly dangerous—that I’ve been watching unfold: the concerted attacks on lawyers, law firms, and judges.

If a law firm won't risk everything to defend itself, what makes you think it will risk anything to defend you?
My advice: Find a law firm that will not back down and will never bend a knee.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

there's a real fun "emperor's new clothes" aspect to all this where everyone in politics is sort of standing around avoiding each other's eyes because if any of them actually admit to the level of crisis currently taking place, they might have to do something about it

I am begging blue state governors to have lunch this week with your adjutant general of the National Guard.
Cannot stress enough how important this relationship is going to be in the near future.

Folks, I am not historically one to rock the boat with Democratic leadership. Because I know their responsibilities are quite difficult. But this is not just about a vote on one bill; this is a pattern of being basically rudderless for the past three months.

Right now there is clear, overwhelming opposition to Mahmoud Khalil’s abduction across the moderate, liberal, progressive & left spectrum. This kind of loud unity is what authoritarians are afraid of. To keep it up we need every institution & public leader to join the chorus.
