This is what winning looks like.
Spanberger just signed 972 bills into law in 30 days — including protections against Trump’s ICE goons. Eastman got disbarred. NYC is coming for the oligarchs.
The resistance is DELIVERING. Let’s ruin their Monday 🔥
Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has rebuked her colleagues in a scathing solo dissent, claiming that she “cannot fathom” the majority’s decision.

Update: this mf SMACKS
It’s cool that DoD said they’re not gonna release a Global Posture Review this year despite being required by law and Congressional R’s seem fine with it

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Here in Spain, we are approving and advancing a process to regularise half a million immigrants.
