I am incredibly proud of the work my law firm did in defending toe California congressional map on behalf of the DCCC. Now, if you don't mind, I am going to enjoy a tall glass of GOP tears. www.democracydocket.com/cases/califo...

Fantastic piece from @dahlialithwick.bsky.social on the tide finally starting to turn: "But what really matters—what is measurable and knowable now in a way that was not a few weeks ago—is that standing up to Trump is going to be worth it." slate.com/news-and-pol...
OK, now for the good news. It’s not just that Trump is losing catastrophically in the courts, again and again, badly and unequivocally, although that actually matters a great deal. It’s not just that Trump has the lowest approval ratings in modern history, although that actually matters a great deal as well. It’s not just that the tariffs are an unmitigated train wreck and his Cabinet cannot stay on message, because the message is incoherent. It’s not just that Trump has helped the Canadian Conservative Party lose an election that was all but unlosable a few months ago. All of that matters. But what really matters—what is measurable and knowable now in a way that was not a few weeks ago—is that standing up to Trump is going to be worth it. Propping up the law and the courts and the Constitution is suddenly proving to be a good bet.

This is important news. Dictators try to weaken defamation standards to make it easier for them to sue, and so to deter criticism of them. Justices Thomas & Gorsuch have previously suggested they might be willing to do this, but at least for now, there aren’t four votes to take a case.

NEW: Judge Boasberg DENIES Trump’s motion to vacate his TRO in the Alien Enemies Act case. Since the plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits because they deserve due process, the TRO is appropriate. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Checking in on Kash Patel’s confirmation hearing:
Kash Patel confirmation hearing:

Dick Durbin asks Patel if he’s familiar with Stew Peters—a right-wing fringe conspiracy theorist.

Patel: <long pause> Not off the top of my head.

Durbin: You’ve made eight appearances on his podcast.

Like @marcelias.bsky.social I think we need to reframe resistance into opposition. There's plenty to do. Here's the full post. open.substack.com/pub/theliber...

Goodbye Resistance, Hello Opposition
For those of us who refuse to get in line, to accommodate the rollback of civil and human rights, what is our choice? I think the answer is opposition.
