STAGGERING: This new study of 133 countries is the first to estimate the impact of all USAID’s work. In 2 decades, it has saved *92M* lives. Current cuts, if not reversed, are forecast to cost up to *14M* lives thru 2030. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Earlier this week, @pressley.house.gov, @repmcgovern.bsky.social, and I traveled to meet with Rümeysa Öztürk and Mahmoud Khalil. Now, we have a question for every American. Will you join us in this fight? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/o...

Ezra Klein and Jon Stewart over-simplify and caricature the restrictions on this $42.5 billion broadband grant program to falsely paint the whole thing as an irredeemable waste. But they fail to mention a lot of important stuff because they didn't actually understand what they were talking about...

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

Our first post is a big one...Statement from Keker, Van Nest & Peters on Trump’s Latest Executive Order “Preventing Abuses of the Legal System and the Federal Court.”
“Trump’s new Executive Order underscores how far removed this President, Attorney General and Administration are from our nation’s Constitution and bedrock values. Our liberties depend on lawyers’ willingness to represent unpopular people and causes, including in matters adverse to the Federal Government. An attack on lawyers who perform this work is inexcusable and despicable. Our profession owes every client zealous legal representation without fear of retribution, regardless of their political affiliation or ability to pay. We encourage law firm leaders to sign on to an amicus effort in support of Perkins Coie’s challenge to the Administration’s executive order targeting the firm, and to resist the Administration’s erosion of the rule of law.”

This Paul Weiss capitulation is the most disgraceful action by a major law firm in my lifetime, so appalling that I couldn’t believe it at first. Any lawyers at that firm—partners or associates—who don’t promptly resign will defile their moral and professional reputations beyond repair.

88% (!) of major U.S law firm partners are white and nearly 75% are men. And more than 50% of firms report having *zero* Black partners. These numbers are even worse when you look at equity partners. This action by the EEOC is nothing short of disgusting. www.eeoc.gov/newsroom/eeo...

Thank you to everyone who stands with USAID. Share far and wide. Unfortunately we don’t have $40 million to buy up ads during the Super Bowl. Even if we did, we’d use it to support the U.S. economy while feeding kids around the globe. #StandWithUSAID #SaveForeignAid m.youtube.com/watch?v=PqUE...

There are no words that adequately describe the disgrace of this man that American voters chose to lead this country. And it is no accident that Trump’s prime directive is always first to project the mediocrity, incompetence, cowardice & immorality of he & his cohorts onto Black & Latino ppl.

This is Niemöller in action. They are trying to carve trans people off and isolate them. Democrats need to understand that an attack on trans people is an attack on the Left is an attack on all Democrats. Circle the wagons.

Now I want to see some additional uses of that robust Presidential immunity granted him by SCOTUS. Release Jack Smith's evidence against Trump, order FBI background checks on all of Trump's nominees, release the Epstein data...Don't let the country go gently into the night of fascism.
