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.

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?

Did you actually read the article? It suggests that there’s a suspicious connection in general, between black lynchings and almost automatic suicide declarations. It sounds fishy to me. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Never accept instant analysis! If Colin Kapernick got involved, there must be something suspicious going on.

The habeas petition for Byron Rovidio Marin (the guy held w/o charge in a hospital for 37 days after ICE broke his leg) has been unsealed.

48. On August 27, 2025, CBP arrested Petitioner in Carson, California.
During his arrest, Petitioner sustained severe injuries to his leg and CBP transported
him to UCLA-Harbor Medical Center in Carson, California where he was
hospitalized as a “custody” of ICE. Petitioner remains in the custody of ICE at
UCLA-Harbor Medical Center with private contractor guards posted inside his
patient room at all times and controlling and limiting access to Petitioner by
medical personnel, attorneys, and family members.
49. ICE has not placed Petitioner in removal proceedings or charged him
with being in violation of immigration law. Upon information and belief, no
warrant for Petitioner’s arrest has been issued.

Renewables have officially overtaken coal in Australia for the first time. ⚡🇦🇺 In September, renewables hit record highs while coal fell to record lows. The shift’s no longer theoretical — it’s happening in real time. Clean energy is now the backbone of Australia’s power grid. 🌞💨 #EnergyTransition

Murray: I talked to a family that’s paying about $300 a month for their health insurance. It’s going to jump to over $1,800 per month.

Many people will turn away and not pay for it—obviously, they’ll lose their health insurance. The fewer people who have insurance, the more everybody pays.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
