Big Law firms and partners have choices about whether to capitulate or to stand tall. History is watching.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

There are trans Americans right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist.

Well, I am. We are. We will.

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.
Marco Rubio on Rumeysa Ozturk: "We revoked her visa ... once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States ... if you come into the US as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country."

Don't give in to the terror they are trying to instill. Find your own center of gravity, find community, find a forest, a river, a flower, a cloud, an idea, an equation, a book, a lyric, a beat, or a vibe.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

If you are a Northern California person upset about Chuck Schumer’s @schumer.senate.gov ‘s craven betrayal of our country, his book tour will be in Corte Madera at The Book Passage on 3/22

About half of all births are covered by Medicaid.

Over a third of all children are covered by Medicaid.

More than half of all nursing home residents are covered by Medicaid.

Republicans in Congress are making a big mistake targeting these families’ health care to pay for tax cuts for the rich.

It’s actually a moral imperative. If you can run for office, you must.

Women only hold 25 percent of the 500,000 elected positions in America. Because we’re not at the table, we’re on the menu.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Important 🧵: Stanford political scientist uses data to show DOGE is attacking “liberal” agencies, not focusing on waste & inefficiency: “The hardest hit agencies are those that regulate industry, protect public health, and expand access to education.”
The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

On Tuesday, Senate Democrats will investigate the Trump-Musk attack on American consumers.

I'm inviting Elon Musk. He owes the American people answers on why he’s trying to shut down the financial cop on the beat that prevents big corporations from cheating Americans.
