I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court. I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective. Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court. The lesson: When we fight we win.

This seems fine. Everything is fine.

“You said the 2020 election was rigged by either Venezuela or China. When you called that fella in Georgia pleading for 11,780 votes, was that part of the rigging, or part of the 6-year investigation? Just one more thing, sir, who was president while all this rigging took place?”

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

Bad Bunny is a bilingual American hero. Those freaking out over a halftime show are barely lingual, as demonstrated by their allegiance with the lyrics "bah wit dah bah." No English spoken either way, but one is actually good.

Trump has a ten-month plan to ensure further elections are impossible. It's *not even halfway through January* and his paramilitary is occupying a city and killing protesters as he prepares to invoke the Insurrection Act and floats canceling elections. Wake up: fascism is here.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

It will become increasingly important for people to take video and protect and save that video so that when there is finally an accounting for what’s happening, there will be evidence.

Let’s be clear: Chuck Schumer is the one ending this shutdown, no matter how the votes read. Chuck Schumer is claiming that he’s voting no, while letting other Senators (Fetterman, Kaine, King, etc) do HIS dirty work. He must be removed from his leadership & primaried for the sake of this country

They want you to leave your phones at home so you can’t take video of them. If you leave your phone at home, take a go-pro with you. Cameras out, America!

“ICE is quietly building up its ability to spy on Americans' phones The agency activated a $2 million contract with Paragon, a service that offers the ability to remotely hack into someone's phone. [Also] ICE entered into an $11 million contract for Cellebrite devices…to break into a locked phone”

SNAP benefits will be gone, small businesses will suffer, insurance premiums will double, air traffic will be delayed/halted: All of these things are happening because when the gov't shutdown ends, the Epstein Files get released.

My office is reaching out to the White House and Homeland Security for more information. We have been provided no information on the reason or purpose of any military mission. There is no national security threat in Portland. Our communities are safe and calm.

Reminder that Trump spent all week trying to get Kamala Harris assassinated too by pulling her secret service detail and then using the police union to pull her security detail offered by the LAPD, let’s not forget about that.

To every Republican who is going to express faux outrage and blame Democrats for the shooting of Charlie Kirk, remember, all you should be doing is offering thoughts and prayers… And it is reprehensible for you to be “politicizing” this tragedy.

Since Trump very much wants all of us to move on, here's his evasive answer that was edited out by Fox News.

Unearthed footage that Fox News refused to air during the election last year shows Trump nervously refusing to commit to releasing the Epstein files. “I don’t know about Epstein so much as I do the others.”

This is an incredibly important point: ICE’s expansion is laying the groundwork to arrest Democratic mayors, governors and legislators who oppose Trump. ICE will also be used to arrest organizers and labor leaders and enforce a ban on dissent. This is the leap to regime change.

Harvard sociologist/polisci Theda Skocpol explains how the vast expansion of ICE in BBB may be Trump's secret weapon to overcome the barriers of federalism and complete his autocratic takeover of the American state. (History from Germany & Hungary in 20s/30s.) talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/criti...

I do not want to hear that a minority party has no power. The GOP managed to hijack the legislative process every time they were in the minority. So yes, anger at our virtue signaling Dems is justified and should be expressed until they act or move aside.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
