“I do not feel safe because I’m always outside, and that risks the chances I get shot more easily.” - 12-year-old from Austin, TX

With fewer than 60 lawyers, we are currently litigating 63 voting and election cases in 30 states — a number that will almost certainly rise in the weeks to come.

Apparently the Texas National Guard is being deployed at the Chicago ICE facility tonight.

I hope everyone stays home, and the Guard is bored and feel foolish for being there.

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House.
