There's a tie that binds the L.A. secret police raids, the abuse of military power, and the trumped-up case against Abrego Garcia

The Trump regime is spinning a Big Lie and inventing fictional laws as it goes, to punish its enemies and seize power

Memorial Day is always a time that I take a pause and think of the ones I lost in service. Not just my own men but family and my Iraqi partners who risked their lives for me. I went for my traditional hike today. Now I’m grabbing a cold one and lunch. Here are a few of the men I’m thinking of today.

I may be the only lawyer targeted by Trump willing to speak on camera, but for me it wasn't a choice. All of us have an obligation to speak out against what Trump is doing. All of us have an obligation to fight for democracy. I am fortunate to be a lawyer and to have a platform -- and I will use it.

Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.

It’s insane how wrong this fake-tough real-damaging approach to police work is and always has been. Real tough is living in the neighborhood where you work. Because you love your neighbors. Even the hard to love ones. Solve violent crimes; Be a good neighbor. That’s police work

Good news to end the day: The House just passed my bipartisan TAKE IT DOWN Act and now it will be signed into law! This bill will provide victims of online abuse with the legal protections they need when intimate images — real or deepfake — are shared without their consent.

Really need journalists to push back on this bullshit. When they say this, just ask them point blank: "Are you saying that because one Latino man committed a murder, another Latino man deserves a life sentence? Do you think all Latino men interchangeable?"

14 years ago in a senseless act of violence, we lost a giant of a man who was just doing his duty, protecting and serving our community. Officer Chris Kilcullen was kind, smart and dedicated. His life was tragically cut short but won’t be forgotten. #RIP
