After voting to give billionaires tax breaks and making health care more expensive, Derrick Van Orden has refused to hold a town hall to talk to the voters he works for in a face-to-face conversation. So, I'm heading to Wisconsin to help give the people he's supposed to represent a voice.

The cowardice of Big Law extends beyond the handful of firms that have become Trump’s collaborators. Many more are simply hiding and hoping not to be noticed.
We have reached the point where the *American Bar Association* cannot find attorneys willing to represent them in litigation against the Trump administration.

Abortion care is safe and essential. The FDA got this right, abortion medication should be available to everyone who needs it.

In this dire landscape of restrictions & bans, we won’t let up until everyone can get the care they seek.

Republicans talk a big game about toning down political violence. But last week I called for a vote on my bill that would have given all Americans, including judges and other elected officials like this necessary privacy protections to stay safe. Republicans blocked it.
Same judge. While Miller rails about judges.

you look at all of this and it tells a very clear and unmistakable story no matter what the conservative justices say at conferences or in interviews or whatever they tell themselves
In December 2023, Special Counsel Jack Smith asked SCOTUS to grant cert before judgement to hear Trump’s immunity appeal.

The court rejected that request and didn’t issue its immunity decision until July 2024.

Trump’s federal cases never made it to trial before the November 2024 election.
Certiorari "before judgment" is how #SCOTUS takes up a full appeal *before* the intermediate federal courts have heard it.

It used to be exceedingly rare. For instance, there wasn't a *single* grant of such expedited review b/w August 2004 & February 2019.

This is the *23rd* such grant since then.
