Along with leadership, decency, integrity, honesty, and intelligence this administration has thrown dignity, maturity and intelligence under the wheels of the MAGA bus.

All those 2024 media fact-checks that said, “Donald Trump and the Trump campaign deny any connection to Project 2025” look pretty ridiculous right now.
A Trump denial is not a fact. You just used his lies to “debunk” a reality that was obvious to anyone paying attention.

Today was my last day as a federal employee, but tomorrow I and my new partner, Ginger Quintero-McCall, open a new law practice, the Free Information Group. We are both FOIA lawyers, and we are very good at suing the government. 1/

Even if we never meet...I already know this about you (even if you don't):
You didn’t survive birth...heartbreak...and BS up until now... just to watch freedom get torched.
You were born for this moment. Don't let your eyes close tonight...without recognizing that.

For every millionaire household getting a tax break, 19 Americans would be stripped of their health coverage. As many as 16 million people would lose health insurance. Millions of kids would lose food and nutrition assistance.

Senate Ds did fight every step of way, made the bill toxic, forced Tillis to retire, made them vote in broad daylight as bill got worse, nixed some truly awful parts. They need more members. In 2026, vote out every R. That is what the lesson is here.

Immigrants rights' advocates — including the ACLU and Democracy Defenders Fund — have filed a new nationwide class-action lawsuit challenging Trump's birthright citizenship order.
The lawsuit is in direct response to the Supreme Court ruling.

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it.
- Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders.
- Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding.
When I told them that the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic.

It was always a crystal clear 100% certainty that if the orange convicted felon was sent back into the White House instead of being sent to prison that he would bring the United States into war, economic collapse and total chaos. This is on everyone who voted for him.

Let's be absolutely clear: physically assaulting a US Senator for simply asking a question is disgraceful. We stand with Senator Padilla and all those peacefully defending working people against this administration's attacks.
