The three firms that fought the BigLaw EOs quickly won TROs beacuse the EOs were obviously unconstitutional. So what are these dudes doing saying "yeah oh another unconstitutional EO? for sure, yeah, we're gonna capitulate"

Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies.

In Denmark:

- Health care and college are free.  

- The starting wage is $22/hr.

- Paid parental leave is 1 year.

- Paid vacation is 6 weeks.  

- All workers get pensions.

This is beyond reckless. With measles cases spreading across TX and the U.S., we need scientists at the table, not folks pushing conspiracy theories. RFK Jr. is playing games with people’s lives.

Marks, an architect of Operation Warp Speed for coronavirus vaccines, warned that a measles outbreak shows how confidence in science is being “undermined.”

No matter what side of the aisle you are on, you should be appalled that a billionaire thinks he has the right to buy elections like this.

Gabbard & Ratcliffe lied under oath yesterday. It’s clear Hegseth shared attack plans via Signal. What else have they been discussing illegally?

They should be fired—and the phones of everyone involved should be confiscated to identify any other secret chats they're hiding from the American people.

Ossoff: He’s so consumed by his efforts to secure revenge, crush his enemies, and conquer Greenland that he’s doing nothing for the people who elected him. His entire domestic agenda is tax breaks for the wealthy, rounding up immigrants, revenge, and centralizing as much power as he can..

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.
