From the jump, it was clear that the indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center was part of the Trump administration's weaponization of the federal government to silence and intimidate those who oppose its corrupt and antidemocratic agenda.

DOJ rushed indictment of SPLC, according to whistleblower reports

After a whistleblower expressed concerns about the strength of the case against the civil rights organization, members of Congress have questions for prosecutors.

Yesterday, the House passed an amendment to the Farm Bill that would allow hot rotisserie chickens to be covered by SNAP, but it doesn't go far enough. We need to pass @meng.house.gov's Hot Foods Act, so Americans on SNAP can have access to more hot foods!

It's not just me saying that under @houserepublicans.bsky.social's majority, Congress is broken:

The House just reauthorized FISA, the spy powers bill, which allows the government to spy on you. The government shouldn't be able to spy on you without a warrant, which is why I voted NO.

I just posted my first article on Substack! I discuss the enduring importance of the oath we take as lawyers, elected officials, and Americans to the rule of law and the Constitution, and why we should recommit to it on Law Day, May 1.

On May 1, Stand Up for the Rule of Law

The first oath I took was when I was admitted to the Pennsylvania bar.

Another awful ruling by SCOTUS gutting the Voting Rights Act and allowing voter suppression. Our democracy is stronger when voters can pick their representatives, not when representatives pick their voters.

Republicans across our country have tried for years to make it more difficult for women to access lifesaving reproductive healthcare. The FACE Act protects women from harassment when they are seeking abortion care. @houserepublicans.bsky.social are trying to get rid of it AGAIN.

A chart shows the price of gas in the U.S. at $4.18 per gallon, the highest in four years. A headline reads: U.S. Gas Prices Hit Highest Level Since Beginning of War in Iran

The cuts @houserepublicans.bsky.social made to SNAP benefits last summer are projected to CAUSE 70,000 PREVENTABLE DEATHS. Now, they want to lock these cuts in, to give tax cuts to the ultra-rich, while leaving millions of Americans hungry.

“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety” - Ben Franklin. The government shouldn't be spying on Americans, especially not without a warrant. Reform FISA.

This week, @houserepublicans.bsky.social are trying to jam through 3 bills that do nothing to help the American people. 🧵

I am grateful for law enforcement’s swift response during the active shooting threat at the White House Correspondents Dinner tonight. While we wait for the details of what happened tonight, I am praying that everyone attending remains safe. Political violence has no place in our country.
