Netanyahu: We've never had a friend like President Trump in the White House. It's not even close. I think Israel is very blessed to have President Trump leading the United States.

Seven years after the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, the world is being asked to forget what happens when governments decide reporters are disposable—and to turn away from what that precedent means for all of us.

One way to quantify the GOP's attack on free and fair elections:

My law firm is litigating 78 voting and election cases in 39 states. This is, by far, the largest caseload we have carried in a non-election year and close to our peak in 2024. The question is how many more can a small firm handle.

This is the world Justice Kavanaugh sanctioned in his foolish & unnecessary concurring opinion to the Court’s order in Noem v Vasquez Perdomo. His hopes of cleaning up that blunder with a plaintive footnote in last week’s concurring opinion in Trump v. Illinois, demonstrates his staggering naïveté.

In the days after the Trump administration’s outrageous and reckless announcement to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research, I worked to build a bipartisan coalition of over 100 lawmakers committed to protecting NCAR.

And we won’t back down!

Zelenskyy shares that the meeting with Trump will not be behind closed doors, but rather public - in front of cameras and media.

Kinda seems like Trump punishing Colorado for not releasing Tina Peters (who tried to help him steal the election) from prison should be a bigger story

The “60 Minutes” we have known is dead. The fearless program that many of us grew up with was strangled by corporate titans seeking favor with the Trump White House. I don’t know what is next for the storied franchise, but it will never be the same. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/60-m...

Colorado stands up for science.

NCAR isn't just your weather app. It's keeping us prepared up to the MINUTE when extreme weather hits. In an emergency, preparation and information keep us safe. Without NCAR, we are flying blind, just as extreme weather becomes more frequent. #SaveNCAR

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.
