This will be happening at the polls next year, unless the courts and states can prevent it.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Johnson: Miss Grijalva has not yet had a scheduled date because she was elected after the house was out of session,

Gallego: You don't want her to be on the Epstein discharge.

Johnson: You guys are experts at red herrings.

It's a little too spot on when the NYT The Daily podcast episode about rising fascism in the streets of Chicago is sponsored by the American Petroleum Institute

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

🚨Our poll shows us beating Susan Collins!

I’ve spent the past decade fighting corruption and working to reform our broken political system. I’m ready for the fight that this moment demands and look forward to serving Mainers in the Senate.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

The Supreme Court disagrees. If we get past this, if the pendulum can still swing back (and that's a big if), we really must fix the Constitution with more amendments to prevent the mad president syndrome.

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.

Republicans are insisting on a budget that'll kick millions off healthcare and raise costs for the rest of us. If they dropped these cruel demands, the Trump Shutdown would end today. app.sosha.ai/s/8YBwdp4b
