It’s shocking to have someone with a history of involvement in failing to disclose evidence be granted a lifetime judicial appt—& that’s just scratching the surface of his misconduct! Senate Rs are desperately grasping at wins—at the expense of the American people. @AnaCabrera
The fourth estate must stay loud about #GoodTroubleLivesOn — and we will We'll be recapping the peaceful mobilizations tonight exclusively on the Contrarian Youtube Channel @ 7:30pm ET 👇 youtube.com/channel/UCTQY3…
Way to go !
BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump-Vance administration to stop ICE's arrests of noncitizens at immigration courthouses. This admin is stripping people of their due process rights in order to expedite deportations. It’s unlawful and unconstitutional.
BREAKING: We @DDFund_ have demanded the Trump–Epstein files under FOIA We know they exist. If the admin is producing grand jury material then it should do the same here! We have warned DOJ to preserve documents in anticipation of litigation I'll discuss @msnbc at 7 pm ET
Texas Rs are laying the groundwork to steal the 2026 midterms—& they’re not acting alone I joined CAP President @neeratanden & @BetoORourke to discuss how to fight back We’ll keep litigating to stop the latest wave of voter suppression Watch live: youtube.com/watch?v=WPsxYI…
Senate Rs must live up to the standard THEY SET for appointing lifetime judgeships A 2-second Google search will reveal exactly why Jeanine Pirro is unfit to serve as permanent U.S. attorney in D.C. But in case you needed a reminder: …1-475c-87d1-10904a61146d.usrfiles.com/ugd/fb1cd5_de5…

Donald Trump is following the authoritarian playbook to a T: 1. Get hold of the courts 2. Erode the rule of law That’s why it’s so critical the Senate rejects Bove and Pirro, as I discussed with @AnaCabrera
An UNPRECEDENTED 75 former federal judges signed on to a letter opposing Bove’s nomination The Senate must listen to the experts. The rule of law is at stake. I explained @MSNBC
I worked on hundreds of nominations when I was special counsel to President Obama—no prior president or judiciary committee would have put forward nominees like Emil Bove & Jeanine Pirro I’ll discuss their disqualifying conduct w @AnaCabrera at 11:15am ET thebulwark.com/p/unfit-to-ser…
ARizona Democrats oust party chair Robert Branscomb II on a 476-56 vote— clearing the 2/3 threshold required for removal by just eight votes
