According to the Republican Party, America doesn't have money for school lunches, vaccine research, NOAA, FEMA, or DHHS, but we've got the money for a Parade for a Fool.

Proud to be among the amici supporting Perkins Coie (along w/@umichlaw.bsky.social colleagues @leahlitman.bsky.social, Len Niehoff, & Rebecca Scott).
The Trump Administration is trying to subvert the rule of law by denying lawyers to its opponents. It's that simple.

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.
Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"
Things Democratic Senators could do that would be useful:
- Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored
- Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored
- Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored
Millions of you, around the world, have put the lessons I wrote in #OnTyranny in late 2016 to good use. It has been humbling to learn how from courageous and creative dissenters, protestors, and oppositionists. I was honored when John Lithgow volunteered to read them aloud.
THANK YOU!!! This is incredible and we are so honored ๐ฅน๐ฅน๐ฅน๐ฅน๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ

I am a commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission. Earlier today, the president attempted to illegally fire me. This is corruption, plain and simple. I will see the president in court. My full statement:
X post by Timothy Snyder (@TimothyD ...), posted 6 hours ago. The post reads, "The people Attorney General Bondi is calling 'terrorists' have had no trial and no chance to defend them. We do not know they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril."
I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.
SO EXCITING!!! Thank you Rebecca!!!! โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
