Win back Congress and the White House, nuke the filibuster, pass a law restoring Roe nationwide that Republicans would repeal at their electoral peril, and dare the Roberts Court to strike it down.
53 years after Roe v. Wade and Republicans are as committed as ever to ripping away a woman's right to make her own decisions about her body and her life.
We cannot let them win—I won’t let them win. We must keep speaking out and using our voices to fight back.

2026: the year so bad that even the Third Amendment is suddenly relevant
In which I explain that the Third Amendment—the one nobody ever talks about—allows hotels to refuse to house Kristi Noem’s ICE goons.
Opinion: Hotels Have a Constitutional Right Not To House ICE Agents
The Third Amendment prohibits the government from forcing people to “quarter” troops. ICE is essentially a paramilitary force—so why would hotels let them stay?

I support term limits and think this proposal is constitutional. But this SCOTUS won’t. And term limits also don’t stop the Roberts Court’s ongoing and immediate destruction of our democracy. Expanding the Court does, and has the bonus of making a term limit law more likely to survive SCOTUS review.
Our Supreme Court reform bill would limit justices to 18-year active terms. It follows the Constitution. Judges keep lifetime service and pay. Congress sets the court structure.
Here’s an explanation.

Codify Bivens, make it retroactive, then sue these fascists to hell
This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.
Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

I've been here 24 hours, but already with what I've seen, well, I genuinely believe we're going to win. People here are well aware that what happens here impacts the entire country, that it sets the tone for resistance. ICE is angry, ICE is terrified, of how deeply unpopular it is.

May they never take another peaceful shit in a public space ever again.
Border Patrol agents are very sad that everyone in Minnesota hates them.
“At each gas station where the agents stopped to use the restroom, groups of agitators appeared, yelled at them, stalked them, and even tried to prevent law enforcement vehicles from leaving…”

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

We really need a fed law that makes it nearly impossible for federal law enforcement officers to dress like this. Not just the masks, all of it. And those who do cannot be dispatched absent some sort of statutorily-defined exigent circumstances, set at a high bar. No routine work like this. Ever.
Border Commander Greg Bovino stands outside a South Minneapolis gas station this morning with BORTAC officers in what seemed like an effort to draw more and more people to the scene as other agents shoot high resolution video of the crowd yelling and blowing whistles.

This is the theme from this week’s oral arguments, both on Wilcox’s carve-out for fed independence and Bruen’s 2nd Amendment’s history and tradition test
Indeed, today's argument could be framed in at least some respects as the Court having to face (and stretch existing doctrinal understandings to account for) the consequences of its own incoherent jurisprudence.

Powell’s statement just considerably shifted the odds that Roberts and Barrett may join the liberals in refusing to give Trump the presumption of regularity over his bad faith firing of Lisa Cook.
