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.

What I Saw Inside the Kennedy Center I spent 10 months working at the institution because I thought I could help protect it. What I observed there is far worse than the public knows.

Heartbreaking description of the pointless, thoughtless damage being done to the Kennedy Center. It was such an important part of life in Washington, and is now being destroyed for no reason

PabloReports: Any reaction to Trump’s attacks on the Pope?

AOC: At the point that you’re attacking the Pope, who do you think has moral authority in this situation?

Reminder that the Biden admin was bringing us a free online filing program, but then Trump/Musk killed it before it had a chance to be expanded to everyone:

“We are facing war against clean energy from Washington Republicans,” Hochul said when the DEC permitted the pipeline after 3 previous rejections.

Some of those Washington Republicans celebrated on her turf today.

Appeals court clears the way for DOGE to access Social Security data despite new red flags The Friday decision follows a January court filing in which the government conceded that DOGE associates may have improperly accessed sensitive data at the agency.

How many times do we have to say it? DOGE has NO reason to have their hands on our sensitive Social Security data.

Yesterday Israel bombed an ambulance in Lebanon, killing paramedic Hassan Badawi

Over the last two & a half years Israel systematically targeted healthcare workers in Gaza, murdering hundreds, and the failure of the world to take action means Israel is free to do it again.

FIFA faces new crisis as SoFi Stadium workers in LA threaten strike action The union UNITE HERE Local 11 has made a series of demands to FIFA and voiced major concerns about ICE agents around World Cup venues

Thousands of workers are threatening to strike at the Los Angeles World Cup stadium.

The SoFi Stadium plans to host two of the three US Men's World Cup matches, but now 2,000 cooks, servers, bartenders and more may strike.

Their main issue? ICE being present at the World Cup.

Trump has hijacked the Defense Production Act to shove cancer-linked chemical glyphosate (Roundup’s active ingredient) and phosphorus into our food. Food security “solution”? Poisoning America. RFKjr, once opposed is fully onboard.

In Springsteen’s words: everybody has a Hungary heart

Hungarian election results.

Péter Magyar victory rally.

One way that Orbán sought to entrench power was adopting a new Hungarian constitution in 2011 that classified many policy areas as 'cardinal laws' that require a two-thirds majority vote to change.

With almost 100% of votes counted, the Hungarian opposition has just achieved what seemed impossible.

Péter Magyar victory speech:

"We want to make a country where no one is persecuted because they think differently or because someone loves in a different way to others."

He may not have campaigned as a liberal. But this is a huge change of direction and rhetoric from Orbán’s anti-LGBTQ+ crusade.

The current state of American politics:

Sexual assault allegations are made against a Democrat and in minutes other Dems demand his resignation.

Trump is found liable of sexual assault by a jury and Republicans propel him into the presidency.

Or he simply conceded within minutes to avoid looking like a fool in the midst of a landslide.

He claimed fraud until he was buried in a landslide.

Opposition leader Péter Magyar at a rally.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.

He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.

The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

What is happening in Hungary tonight in the form of massive repudiation of Putin/Trump/Orban and the global right - has world wide implications.

But there is also a key lesson for folks in US and here on Bluesky: this is why it’s important not to adhere to relentless doomerism.

Never give up hope.

BREAKING: DOJ investigates the Hungarian electorate for Mortgage Fraud

Get cookin!!!

The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.

Orban is not conceding because he's honourable. He's conceding because his defeat is so comprehensive even he can't pretend he won.
