Grateful for a leader who recognizes the inherent value in people with disabilities. Looking forward to the day when such a leader once again occupies the White House. #ADA35
As we celebrate #ADA35, we reaffirm our commitment to its vision. Under my admin, we've made the largest investment in state history to support people with disabilities. Illinois will keep fighting against those in DC who want to roll back the progress we’ve made.
Love this guy! I’m here for every last minute of his show till May and most definitely for whatever he does next.
WATCH: Colbert’s first monologue since the cancelation. “For the next ten months the gloves are off. I can say what I really think about Donald Trump, starting right now.” youtu.be/VIZegLAvK8o?...

NEW: The Roberts court allows Trump's gutting of the Education Dep't in a lawless ruling. Sotomayor, in dissent, wrote that "it is the Judiciary’s duty to check ... lawlessness, not expedite it." This afternoon, at Law Dork:
There is no low to which they will not go. I’m with Sotomayor— this is the grossest abuse of their power perhaps ever.
"SCOTUS allows Trump admin to deport people to random countries with no notice" Honestly still can't believe that I wrote this headline today, let alone that the U.S. Supreme Court's majority did so.
Please take a minute to oppose the federal government’s rollback of disability rights! dredf.org/action-alert...

Take 5m today to fights for your rights! Disability comes for all of us.
This has not gotten enough traction. Those with physical or mental disability are under attack by the DoE with a new proposed rule that will deregulate handicapped access to future buildings regulations. Please submit a public comment in opposition. We only have 3 days left!
So on top of all else in the midst of the chaos Trump is trying to get rid of accessibility requirements for people with disabilities in federally funded buildings. Don’t let this happen! Public comment open at the link below till June 16.
1/3 🚨 The Dept. of Energy is quietly trying to gut building accessibility rules under Section 504. This rollback would erase protections disabled activists fought decades to win. 🛑 Drop a public comment by June 16 to help stop it: 👉 dredf.org/action-alert... (Mini history lesson below ⬇️)
So like one of the supposed heads of MS-13 who was arrested in Virginia and then had the charges dropped a week or so later? Is this the kind of people we are deporting without due process in violation of SCOTUS order and the Constitution?
Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.
This is absurd and yet another example of this regime doing things that will hurt people. Projects that mitigate against the effects of disaster and build resilience in communities will decrease reliance on federal resources over the long term and should be expanded upon, not blowtorched.
FEMA announced it's dismantling the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program—canceling in-progress projects and clawing back grants it promised to pay out. To be clear, this program was structured so recipients pay for their projects *upfront*, and are then reimbursed. (1/3)
I, too, stand with the lawyers and law firms who are holding firm against a tyrant and for the rule of law.
I STAND WITH Jenner & Block, @wilmerhale.bsky.social , & Perkins, against tyranny and abuse of power. To paraphrase Judge Coughenor, History will look back and ask “where were the lawyers and judges” at this pivotal moment. Right here. www.jennerfirm.com
NM Congressperson on fire. More of this from our elected representatives please! www.youtube.com/shorts/d0s0x...
Grateful to AG Raoul and the other AGs for standing up for our children and our future.
#SaveOurSchools: Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul and 20 other state attorneys general are asking a federal judge to immediately halt President Donald Trump’s efforts to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education. Thank you AG @kwameraoul.bsky.social! Read the story in #HydeParkHerald:
Come on law firms and lawyers! Be a Rachel Cohen. Stand up. Speak out NOW— before you can’t.
Do you get it yet, law firms? What’s happening isn’t an isolated threat to Paul Weiss or Covington or Perkins Coie. It’s an existential threat to the independence of the legal profession. You’re a fool if you think you won’t be next. Say something. Do something.
Bravo to this attorney for taking a stand. Hoping Skadden (and other firms) rose to her challenge. She is right — the moment is now.
Tonight, hours after the Paul Weiss news broke, an associate at Skadden Arps sent a firm-wide email: "Please consider this email my two week notice, revocable if the firm comes up with a satisfactory response to the current moment...We do not have time. It is now or it is never..."
