If you haven’t watched Jimmy Kimmel’s interview from last night, you should. The FCC and this administration are constantly trying to squash the resistance, but the resistance always finds a way around them. They can keep trying to silence people. It isn’t working.

I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court. I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective. Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court. The lesson: When we fight we win.

The DOJ quietly closed 23,000+ criminal cases in the first six months of Trump’s second administration, abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, drugs and other offenses as it shifted resources to pursue immigration cases. 🔗 Full story: propub.li/4e5vZLL
Text on graphic reads: The Department of Justice has dropped 23,000 criminal cases while prosecuting 32,000 new immigration cases in just the first six months of Trump’s second term.

-Nearly 5,000: federal drug cases, including trafficking and money laundering
-Over 900: cases of federal program or procurement fraud
-More than 1,300: cases involving terrorism and national security
