There is an assault on women’s rights now. The women who were brave enough to come forth during the Jan 6th inquiry are being assaulted again. They need and deserve our support. Call out the elected officials sending abusive emails. Enough! Time to hold these weak bullies accountable #WarVsWomen 💙🍀

Last night, my team filed a motion to defend voters in California.

DOJ sued 8 states. My firm has filed to protect voters in all 8 states.

We will never back down from the fight to protect free and fair elections.

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files.

My team has now filed motions to defend voters in 7 of those cases in ME, MI, MN, NH, NY, OR and PA.

I suggest that DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining one in CA.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?
