Hey Speaker Johnson, swear in Adelita Grijalva. Or are you too scared that Trump and your other GOP buddies are in the Epstein files?

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.

Marc Elias @marcelias.bsky.social · 6d

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.

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

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

This photo of red troops from Texas invading Illinois over a fake emergency is raising some significant questions for those who watched the televised address Pete Kegstand gave to hundreds of generals, admirals and commanders recently, a speech that already lives in infamy as the "No Fatties Speech"

Stephen Miller just said the quiet part out loud claiming that Trump has plenary authority when it comes to deploying troops. (Plenary means full authority.) After making the statement, he froze completely, like a deer in headlights. The video is worth watching.

Jack Smith didn't "tap" anyone's phone. He got phone records of potential insurrection suspects via lawful grand jury subpoenas. Just so happens some of those suspected of participating in January 6th were republican members of congress. If you don't want you phone records subpoenaed...
