As you know, school boards all over have been takeover by conservative activists who've targeted books and the rights of LGBT students.

I spotlight two big ones in my guide, below.

SPECIAL ELECTION ALERT: Trump’s cabinet appointments have left 3 House seats up for grabs & the stakes couldn’t be higher because Democrats only need to flip three seats to take back the House Majority:
FL-01 → OPEN
FL-06 → OPEN

One of the last acts of the Democrats should be to introduce legislation ending any restrictions on the Second Amendment. They do that, and perhaps we won't believe they've betrayed us. They don't... and we need to put them on the block as well, when that day comes.

As we start another week, my law firm is litigating 46 voting and election cases in 19 states. A team starts trial to protect the Voting Rights Act in Alabama tomorrow!

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of democracy and democracy is on the docket.

They’re testing. It wasn’t a “glitch” that turned off Medicaid portals. They’re seeing which things they can delete without a fight.

Vets benefits? Abuse shelters? Aid to children? Cancer research?

They don’t care who gets hurt. Just what they can get away with.

Keep. Fighting. Back.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.
