I don’t usually write about my law firm, but I’m going to make an exception. With fewer than 60 lawyers, we are currently litigating 63 voting and election cases in 30 states — a number that will almost certainly rise in the weeks to come. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/why-...

The Advantage program was a lifeline for New Yorkers like Kasha, a working mom struggling to get out of a shelter and into stable housing.

But when then-Gov. Cuomo slashed funding, homelessness surged.

These are political choices. We can choose differently.

Good morning, friends! We must empower ourselves to embrace, uplift, and celebrate our own worth, no matter what life brings our way. Let's tap into our inner strength and celebrate our inherent value, regardless of life's challenges.

Gov. Shapiro: "The way the president has chosen to deploy the National Guard in other states, and to deploy the Guard of one state. Texas, into another state, Illinois, is extremely dangerous...It does not make us more safe. It creates chaos and real danger in our communities."

Therein lies the most disconcerting aspect of today’s White House roundtable about Antifa: it’s just a bunch of right-wing conspiracy-minded sycophants telling Trump, “If they’re not with us, they’re against us, and they must be punished.” 2/3

Nothing to see here, just Trump going for his second “yearly” checkup this year.

Anyone ready to admit that something is wrong with POTUS yet?

The loyalty purge continues. This week, FBI Director Kash Patel dismissed two longtime agents who had previously worked with Special Counsel Jack Smith, who led the federal investigations into Trump. Both agents had strong performance records, and no official reason was provided for their removal.

Nazis Destroy Unions
"In Germany on May 2nd, 1933, trade unions were abolished. Their leaders were arrested, their funds confiscated and strikes were declared illegal. Workers lost the right to negotiate wage increases and improvements in working conditions"

TOP: Prem shares a clip of Noem saying “we’re going to take the same approach with Antifa” as they did with the boats they bombed (without evidence)

Most of Dem Senators did not attack Bondi yesterday as they should have. Among other things they should have said, "You're lying again, Ms. Bondi" and "That's a bald-faced lie, Ms. Bondi."

The rapid rise of authoritarianism is no place for etiquette.

ICYMI: Speaker Mike Johnson is second in line to the presidency, but he wants you to know he has no opinion on anything and takes responsibility for nothing. His go-to line is “not in my lane.”
