The DOJ was created to increase the capacity for federal prosecutions during Reconstruction esp. those to be brought under the newly enacted KuKlux Klan Act.
Now the DOJ is being used to prosecute a storied civil rights organization whose central mission has been to expose & dismantle the Klan.
Texas republicans illegally gerrymandered their maps and never once asked voters how they feel about it.
California and Virginia let voters decide.
That’s the difference. They started this fight and Democrats are going to fucking finish it.
Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.
Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!
Not a dime of taxpayer money or govt contracts should go to Palantir.
🔥SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 BILLION— as he leads 🇺🇸 diplomacy + asks sheikhs for billions more… Never have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia taking corruption to spectacular new heights.”
Tell Congress: Create an independent commission empowered to remove an unfit president using the 25th Amendment
Write a letter here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...
The 25th Amendment already gives Congress the tool to remove him if he can’t do the job.
Raskin’s bill would finally create the independent commission to make it happen.
This is one more real shot to protect the country. Tell Congress to pass it.

Congrats Whittier, right next to my home town 👍
DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states.
DOJ sued 31 states for refusing their demand.
My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases.
DOJ is now 0-5.
My firm is 5-0.
Lesson: When we fight we win.
Barack Obama: “Virginia, if you haven't done it already, make a plan to vote YES on the redistricting referendum. You can vote early by April 18 or on Election Day, April 21.”

Please clap.

Trump just publicly referred to the Strait of Hormuz as the “Strait of Iran.” Not only does this look like total capitulation from his administration but I am trying to imagine the GOP/Fox response if Joe Biden had said this.
THANK YOU!
The 2nd Annual symposium of the 14th Amendment Center for Law & Democracy was an awesome daylong commitment to undertake the work of "refounding" democracy in this country. WATCH all of the panels at this link: youtube.com/playlist?

People asked how we got here, check out the drawing...
Pope Leo today: "Blessed are the peacemakers."
"Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth."
ZOHRAN: “I ran on taxing the rich — Today, we’re taxing the rich… the first ever pied-a-terre tax for second homes worth $5 Million+… $500 MILLION from the richest of the rich to fund child care, etc…💰”
Promises kept.
Life comes at you fast
Enten: "You think of the working class, those who have incomes less than $50,000. Look at how much they have turned against the president. His approval rating at the beginning of his second term was +2 -- down he goes, into the smithereens. Now at -34. That's an over 35 point shift."

Magyar Péter: After a year and a half, I am back in the "public" television studio. We have just witnessed the last days of a propaganda machine. After the formation of the TISZA government, we will suspend the news services of the “public” media until its public service character is restored.
Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.
These billionaires went to Trump’s inauguration. All of them
got tax breaks this year.
Fact.
