🧵 An open letter to the US Open and USTA:
Trump will attend the #USOpen as a guest of ROLEX. Yesterday, Trump declared 'WAR' on Chicago. The USTA has called for media censorship of dissent against Trump today.
I played NCAA tennis many years ago and still play. Today I resign my #USTA membership.

JD Vance: "This is how wars ultimately get settled. If you go back to World War 2, if you go back to every major conflict in human history, they all end with some kind of negotiation."

Meanwhile, law firm Alston & Bird, with 800 lawyers in 13 offices worldwide, is standing strong on Diversity & Inclusion. Some law firms won’t accede to Trump’s demand to disavow DEI.

The four law firms that it was announced are now Trump collaborators -- Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins, Simpson Thacher, and A&O Shearman Sterling -- ALSO agreed today to "Disavow DEI" as part of a settlement with EEOC.

The SAVE act MUST NOT PASS the Senate.

Those Medicaid cuts? They come from the Energy & Commerce Committee. Here's a list of the members. If we can get a majority of these people to vote no, it's stuck there (unless the House gives up on the official committee process, forcing the Senate to do it)

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich.
THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no.
