The Trump admin already fired public servants who work for all Americans. Civil servants owe a duty to the Constitution & work for both GOP & Dem admins. Efforts to politicize & terminate those not ideologues is unAmerican. @skyeperryman.bsky.social discussed w/ NBC4. Visit: CivilServiceStrong.org

It’s official - Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social is throwing his hat in the ring for Congress in MEMPHIS. (For the only congressional seat Dems still currently control after racist GOP gerrymandering)

This is what resistance looks like. Courageous Chicagoans follow ICE cars to warn others in the community of their presence.

ICE has bought access to an “all-in-one” surveillance tool that gives it updated location data from hundreds of millions of phones, putting us all at risk of being tracked.

The government can’t be allowed to surveil us simply for having a cell phone.
ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day
Documents show that ICE has gone back on its decision to not use location data remotely harvested from peoples' phones. The database is updated every day with billions of pieces of location data.

Today I wrote about why my law firm is currently litigating 63 voting and election cases in 30 states. While the legacy media focuses on other things, Trump has launched a wholesale attack on free and fair elections.

I started Democracy Docket to keep you informed. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

The Justice Department had 36 attorneys assigned full-time to investigate corrupt politicians when Trump took office in January.

Today it has two.

See how this works?

1. On Monday, Trump delivered a $70 million windfall to his billionaire buddy, John Paulson.

Paulson hosted the biggest fundraiser of Trump's 2024 campaign, raising over $50 million.

This week, Trump returned the favor.

On April 6, 2024, a procession of Range Rovers, Aston Martins, and Bentleys rolled up to the Palm Beach mansion of billionaire John Paulson. The occasion was a glitzy fundraiser for Donald Trump’s…

I'm not a conservative commentator. No Billionaire is offering me $150 million. No TV network will make me its editor in chief.

I am just a lawyer who fights hard for democracy. I built Democracy Docket to keep you informed. For $10 a month, you can help it do its vital work. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

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.

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.

It's happening right in front of you.

Trump and the GOP are creating their own manufactured crises, lighting the Reichstag fires, blaming "them" for the violence (their critics), citing "left-wing" terrorism, all as a setup for martial law and the Insurrection Act.

It's happening in plain sight.
