Can we Americans still spell C-O-R-R-U-P-T-I-O-N? And why did this story break today in the Financial Times, a London newspaper?

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.

When scholars of authoritarianism and fascism leave U.S. universities because of the deteriorating political situation here, we should really worry.

These are the principles, set out by the great Judge Simon Rifkind, that once governed Paul Weiss.

They should take his name out of the firm’s name out of respect for his memory.

Corporations can write off business losses on their taxes, while their employees can’t write off the student loan debt for the degrees required to work at those corporations.

This is what a tax system written to uplift oligarchs and hold down the working class looks like.

If you were outraged by the crimes against civilians on Oct 7th but not by the many more crimes against civilians *since* Oct 7th - just this week: kids being burned from head to toe; having their limbs amputated without anesthetic - then you don’t actually care about crimes against civilians.

88% (!) of major U.S law firm partners are white and nearly 75% are men. And more than 50% of firms report having *zero* Black partners. These numbers are even worse when you look at equity partners.

This action by the EEOC is nothing short of disgusting.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

An Irish Blessing on St. Patrick's Day

May those who love us, love us;
And for those who don't love us,
May God turn their hearts;
And if He doesn't turn their hearts,
May He turn their ankles,
So we will know them by their limping.

Everyone in media is again asking are we in a Constitutional crisis. STOP!!!! We have been in crisis for sometime and it is being organized by a Russian asset who happens to be President. The question that should be asked is how do we get out of this crisis? Who is left to defend America?

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired!

New ride coming soon.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

I’m sure all the people who shared NYT’s ‘Screams Without Words’ and Sheryl Sandberg’s ‘Screams Before Silence’ will be sharing this new UN report on Israel’s systematic sexual and gender-based violence against Palestinian men and women, right?
Right?
Gaza war: UN experts accuse Israel of 'genocidal acts' and sexual violence
Israel strongly rejects the findings of the report and accuses the UN Human Rights council of antisemitism.
