“The notion that I or any of my colleagues ‘body slammed’ armed federal officers is absurd. DHS is lying because they know their agents were out of line.”

Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development.

Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system.

Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.

I congratulate them, and thousands of lawyers throughout the country, who are fighting to uphold American democracy and the rule of law.

Vermonters have frequently protested the president's actions this year. But this is the first time in memory that Vermont's lawyers demonstrated en masse.

Donald Trump's memecoin is the equivalent of posting his Venmo on the internet.

Corruption in it's most obvious form. We need accountability.

Conditioning housing and homelessness funding based on the administration’s unrelated and regressive policy positions is cruel and unwise.
