🚨SPINELESS: 10 House Dems Voted with Republicans to Censure Al Green. House GOP unanimously voted to censure Rep. Al Green (D-TX). 10 Democrats joined them. Why do Dems keep enabling GOP attacks on their own members? They need to be primaried & replaced. No room for cowards in this fight.

Attn: DC #lawsky: FYI, Trump/Bondi loyalists are currently making a bid to take over the DC Bar: Her brother is running for President and Alicia Long (who I believe is US Attorney Ed Martin's chief deputy right now) is running for Treasurer.

The #MuskOrUs March Recess starts 10 days from today. So today would be a great day to call your members of Congress and demand a town hall. @indivisible.org even made you scripts. Here's everything you need. 🧵
Text in bold, mixed fonts reads: "Reminder: Members of Congress WORK FOR YOU. Demand a town hall this March recess." Below, a call to action in smaller font says: "Join us for the #MuskOrUs March Recess" followed by "indivisible.org/muskorus." The Indivisible logo is at the bottom.

The ABA rejects efforts to undermine the courts and the legal profession. Read full message: www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...
We speak today on behalf of the legal profession and its members who seek to live by the oath each took upon admission to the bar.

We reject efforts to undermine the courts and the profession. We will not stay silent in the face of efforts to remake the legal profession into something that rewards those who agree with the government and punishes those who do not. Words and actions matter. And the intimidating words and actions we have heard must end. They are designed to cow our country’s judges, our country’s courts and our legal profession. These efforts cannot be sanctioned or normalized.

There are clear choices facing our profession. We can choose to remain silent and allow these acts to continue or we can stand for the rule of law and the values we hold dear. We call upon the entire profession, including lawyers who serve in elected positions, to speak out against intimidation. We acknowledge that there are risks to standing up and addressing these important issues. But if the ABA and lawyers do not speak, who will speak for the organized bar? Who will speak for the judiciary? Who will protect our system of justice? If we don’t speak now, when will we speak?

The American Bar Association has chosen to stand and speak. Now is the time for all of us to speak with one voice. We invite you to stand with us.

After Trump embraced crypto, Coinbase gave millions to PACs backing pro-Trump candidates. After Trump's win, they gave $1M to his inaugural and listed his meme coin. Now, Trump's SEC has dropped a major lawsuit against Coinbase. See how this works?

Attention working-class Americans: Republicans’ new budget does NOT include no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, or no tax on Social Security. Instead it protects tax handouts for billionaires and makes way for the largest Medicaid cut in history.

Egg prices are up 53% compared to last year and the spread of bird flu is a major reason why. How has Trump responded? By letting DOGE fire thousands of federal employees across the CDC, NIH, FDA, and the USDA who could respond to this outbreak.

The so-called 'SAVE Act' is a voter suppression tool disguised as election integrity. House Republicans are prioritizing barriers to voting over solving real issues. They want to silence voices, not secure elections. ☎️ Call your reps & tell them to vote NO
