Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...

Yes SCOTUS repudiated the Trump/Stephen Miller position that AEA deportees are entitled to no process at all
But requiring such “notice as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue before such removal occurs" is woefully insufficient
Nevertheless—habeas here we come

The Senate just passed the Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act 2.0 by unanimous consent. Glad to see everyone do what’s right after President Musk tried his level best to eliminate funding for pediatric cancer research.

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

Ukraine was invaded because the West allowed Assad & Russia to commit genocide in Syria; Syria is now being liberated because Ukraine refused to surrender to Russia or listen to the West's weak deesclation policies that only protect tyrants. A better world is possible and it's worth fighting for.
