The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.

We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.

Shirley Chisholm made history by being the 1st Black woman elected to Congress in '68 & the 1st to run for POTUS in β€˜72. She served as a Rep from NY for 14 years. Her #CupOfJoe is #UnboughtAndUnbossed.

RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate β€” and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

Marc Elias with some good news:

β€œAs of Tuesday night, Democrats have overperformed in 253 of 283 key elections since 2025, and Democratic turnout reached levels we have not seen in decades.”

Yay!

β€œCBS LA: Video shows immigration agents clashing with protesters in Ventura County”

This ICE-hole picked up this small woman in a hat and dress, then slammed her on the concrete. Then, when a male bystander tried to help her, they blasted him with pepper spray!

Democrats should reintroduce War Powers Resolution ASAP in Congress. Could at least force Republicans to explain why they're not open to putting any limitations at all on a megalomaniacal war leader.

Massive war price tag could be a massive problem for GOP leaders The prospect of a ballooning new spending bill has GOP leaders bracing for a messy internal fight.

Capitol Hill Republicans are about to confront a staggering price tag for Trump’s Middle East war.

Some GOP lawmakers are hearing estimates that the Pentagon is spending as much as $2 billion a day.

The first Black woman in space carried more than experiments aboard the shuttle.

Mae Jemison’s journey from Chicago science museums to Space Shuttle Endeavour showed generations of girls what was possible.

History remembers the woman who reached for the stars.

Here's what I believe: no more business as usual in the Senate. We shouldn't be voting to proceed to normal legislation until Republicans schedule a debate and a vote and on a declaration of war against Iran. Let's see if Trump has the votes to authorize war. I bet he doesn't.

Jasmine Crockett has been and will continue to be a strong and important voice in our party. She was in my freshman class and became an immediate leader. Her work on behalf of the American people and Texas is just getting stated.

imo the threat posed by CBS News and CNN getting absorbed by pro-regime billionaires isn't that they're going to produce right-wing slop that convinces people to be right-wing, it's the dismantling of newsrooms capable of doing investigative reporting on the administration. Fewer eyes on the street.

So basically Trump can post that he’s sending a hospital ship to Greenland for no reason, then do absolutely nothing to actually send a hospital ship to Greenland because it was all a lie, and not one single Republican gets asked about it. That’s where we’re at.
