I want to take a moment to thank the entire Elias Law Group team who worked on the Texas redistricting case as well as our fearless clients. The thirteen Black and Latino voters we represented stood up to challenge Texas's unprecedented mid-decade redistricting. We all ow them a debt of gratitude.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate.

@booker.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @crockett.house.gov @pelosi.house.gov HOLD THE LINE!! Do not bargain on empty promises with our healthcare.
The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov This man should be charged for state crimes.
An immigration enforcement officer who shot a US citizen in Chicago last month bragged about the incident in texts afterwards, according to court documents filed in federal court.
A Border Patrol agent bragged about shooting someone, texts show

We have been screaming about this since the bill was signed.
Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.”
The result was “institutionalized hunger.”

@schumer.senate.gov Trump/Hegseth are violating national and international law. These are acts of war and risk our national security. You don’t need more ‘answers’. Do your job. @booker.senate.gov
The Trump administration’s military strikes on alleged drug boats are “blatantly unlawful as a matter of U.S. domestic law—and a quickly spreading stain on whatever is left of the executive branch’s commitment to the rule of law.”
Me on “extrajudicial killings” in the latest issue of “One First”:

There is no obvious legal argument to support President Trump's expanding campaign of strikes against alleged drug boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean. And the implications are even scarier.
