Harvard Law professor Michael Klarman gave an inspiring lecture about the need for lawyers to protect democracy. I was honored that he noted the attacks and threats aimed at me. His words serve to steel my spine and make me more committed than ever to fighting for democracy.

Thank you professor.🙏

Another blink, and example of corruption—the biggest firms able to get exemptions. Small/medium sized businesses—SOL.

On April 24, ICE agents broke into a home of a family of US citizens in Oklahoma. The family repeatedly said we are citizens, you have the wrong people. ICE terrorized the family, ripped apart the house.

It's not "other people" that this is happening to. It's us. Open your eyes. Wake the hell up.

Our neighbor to the North is lead by a brilliant economist, who is tough, but fair and decent.

Our neighbor to the South is lead by a brilliant engineer, who is tough, but fair and decent.

We are run by a total ignoramus who is flawed in every way a human being can be & is destroying our country.

House GOP leaders are telling the rank-and-file not to spill the beans about their plans to slash Medicaid. MAGA Republicans are constantly scrambling to deny their actual plans because we Americans reject their top-down warfare on the working-class majority.
House GOP leaders urge lawmakers to avoid specifics in Medicaid fight
The House Republican leadership has privately warned rank-and-file GOP lawmakers to refrain from publicly drawing red lines over Medicaid cuts.

NEW: In a news release published Monday, the City of Hyattsville Police Department said:

“At no time did any member of the HPD identify or file any reports classifying Abrego Garcia as a member of any gang,” HPD’s statement read.

This contradicts DHS' claim.

This is deranged. Jan. 6 defendants were repped by one of the best public defender offices in the U.S. They were more likely to be released pretrial & got comparatively light sentences. SCOTUS threw out a bunch of convictions, which almost never happens. They got gold-plated due process!

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him.

He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons.

He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him.

He’s defying the Supreme Court.

Don’t you see what’s happening here?

➡️ Trump and his administration tell a lie.

➡️ Right-wing media reports on the lie as fact.

➡️ Trump administration cites the reporting to substantiate the lie.

➡️ Trump sees the lie on right-wing media and thinks it's actually true.

The devious purpose behind MAGA's incessant lying
Creating a fog of confusion is a feature, not a bug.

BUKELE: How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? Of course I'm not going to do it. The question is preposterous

You are not worried enough about this
Before press came in — but while live feed was running on Bukele’s feed — Trump said to him: “home-growns are next. … You’re gonna need to build about 5 more places.”

This. Write your name in the history books on the right side of the ledger.
Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.
