🔥BTW: Rep Sharice Davids shared this with me in 2019 when we were making an ACA Open Enrollment Awareness video together! She said, "OH, that reminds ME I have to sign-up, MYSELF!"(she's pretty awesome as well).

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. The only thing that could cause it to fall anytime soon would be court closures resulting from the Republican-caused government shutdown.

Scoop: Trump lost the legal battle over halting the offshore Revolution Wind project after Orsted, its developer, brought reams of evidence to court alleging the government was lying about military security concerns.

It’s a sign truth can empower companies Trump targets.

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.

I think it's fairly obvious now. trump's insurance lawyer isn't prosecuting this case. The two junior lawyers from SC aren't prosecuting this case. trump is prosecuting this case.

He's already stalling for time just to keep Comey under the cloud of indictment.
