I just finished writing my reflections on tonight's big win in Virginia. I've been fighting this fight for ten years, including three cases in SCOTUS. Tonight we won a big one at the ballot box.

Corrupt drunken lunatic Kash Patel is now filing a frivolous $250M lawsuit against the Atlantic whilst sitting at the head of the FBI.
Every scumbag in the MAGA regime is a fraudster. Wait until he finds out about how discovery works.
Amazing! This is the line to get into Peter Buttigieg’s town hall in Tulsa tonight.
A demonstration at the Dilley Concentration Camp in Texas. Children and families have been imprisoned in the concentration camp in Texas for months, and all they’ve experienced is abuse, neglect, mistreatment, undrinkable water and moldy food. #SHUTDOWNDILLEY

Here it is, my annual reminder: don't spray spring dandelions with roundup. One flower can be visited by 100+ bees in a day, and your chemicals will kill all of them. 🌻
We’re almost ready to announce more endorsements as part of our largest-ever Democratic primary program — because the pro-democracy movement deserves leaders who are just as committed to defeating fascism as the activists out in the streets.
A small brown bird perched on an old wooden fence post. It looks poised to take on an adventure or possibly just grab a meal.
Always wonderful to see a good #FencePost complete some lichen and topped off with an excellent bird

Well, I didn't expect to see this on camera. Western fence lizard catches a bee and eats it.
The lizards are insectivores that feed on a variety of invertebrates, including bees, wasps, beetles, flies, caterpillars, and ants.
This is a 1st for the water dish!

"These days, I’m feeling more aligned with Catholicism than I have since my first communion. I’m not alone in that," writes @sulliview.bsky.social.
🚨BREAKING: DOJ lost again Friday, as a federal judge dismissed its lawsuit to force Rhode Island to provide unfettered access to its voter registration rolls, bringing the agency’s record among active cases to 5 defeats, 0 wins and 25 cases still pending. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
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.

After big dams on the upper Klamath River in far northern CA were removed in 2024, Chinook (king) salmon migrated upstream for the first time in 100+ years--and now they have hatched.

There were more protesters outside the Turning Point rally in Athens GA than event attendees.
Pam Bondi didn’t show up for her hearing today, despite our subpoena. We’re going to begin contempt proceedings. It’s time to hold these people accountable to the laws we passed in Congress.
As the great @markhertling.bsky.social says: “It’s not as easy as it sounds.”
I’ll never get tired of watching people in Budapest celebrating getting rid of Viktor Orbán.
I’m dancing along with the people of Hungary!

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.
Had to turn off Meet the Press. Instead I’ll be watching the livestream of the Big Bear eagles’ nest. Little buggers are already starting to grow! #Nature
I like Presidents who DON'T tweet.
main objective is to make himself, family & close friends wealthy, nothing else matters.
Hungarians are out in BIG numbers voting for the future of their country.
Orban’s time is running out. He knows it, Putin knows it, Trump and his gang knows it.

Ossoff: "Trump apparently promised pardons for entire WH staff, which is what you do when you run it like a casino. Maybe the West Wing is too busy placing bets on the war to care, but American are getting hurt...in Trump’s America the well-connected get stock tips & everybody else makes sacrifices"
the whole world is getting hurt, many killed & injured. He & the GOP need to stopped.
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.
smarter than American voters.
Except the Obama deal was executed with the cooperation of the world community. Now the rest of the world wants nothing to do with us.
Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.
