Several House Dems and I just had a press conference with families affected by Chris Carr’s lawsuit to try to eliminate Section 504 disability accommodations.
Carr’s office has denied the lawsuit seeks to end 504 entirely, but it’s right there in the complaint.
Carr should dismiss the lawsuit now.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

The world's richest man, not elected to anything, is seizing dictatorial powers in defiance of the law, congress, courts, the president, and the American people.
Madness. Unless you want to live under dictatorship, call every member of Congress to demand they stop this immediately: (202) 224-3121.

A must read.
There's a way sustain opposition to this assault for four years. It exists between constant, mostly impotent anger, and the @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social / @schumer.senate.gov instinct to ignore the vast majority of Trump abuses. I wrote about what it looks like here, no paywall.
A Sustainable Resistance
It will require both acceptance and a steely resolve to rebuild bigger and better.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

Debunking can be a fun way to find an audience in science communication, but I think it can be over-relied on.
We should be celebrating more than we are defending, not just because it’s less miserable, but also because it’s good marketing!

15 years ago, a 5-4 majority on the Supreme Court handed down the grotesque Citizens United decision, opening the spigot of unlimited dark money and outside spending in elections.
And each year since that decision, elections have become increasingly expensive and less transparent.
