You wouldn’t vacation in Dachau in 1935. Don’t vacation in Florida in 2025.
We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

Big news a few wks back when 4 Paul Weiss partners annc'd they were leaving to form a new firm. At least 6 more PW attys have left since (3 partners/3 assoc) & the new firm now estimates ~19 PW attys have/will be joining. That's...a lot. If anyone's doing a costs-of-capitulation study, I'm all ears.

The Senate Finance Committee proposal doesn’t meaningfully improve the elements of the House bill that would cause some 16 million people to be uninsured & unable to afford needed care.
In fact, in several ways the Senate proposal is worse. ⬇️ www.cbpp.org/blog/trackin...

This is well stated. Mike Lee will forever be associated in my mind with his unbelievably cruel and stupid tweets about the Hortman assassination. He is a disgrace to the Senate and Utah.
A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend”

Tommy Tuberville's decision to run for gov means an open Senate seat next year in Alabama. Dems have to decide whether to try to contest it.
Former Sen. Doug Jones told me last month he'd look at it:
