The Supreme Court has become a partisan body that’s undermining democracy and empowering authoritarianism.
We must reform the Court by expanding it, putting term limits on it, and codifying strong ethics standards in law.
#Lala will strengthen further into hurricane before making close approach (or even direct landfall) on Big Island of Hawaii on Sat. High-impact flood & wind risk given interaction with island's tall/complex volcanic topography. (Strong El Niño events increase HI hurricane risk.)
Sorry to see the embers jump to Stillwater Cove. Looks like it's burning on the west side of Hwy 1 so perhaps the redwood grove will be spared. Praying it will be spared. #WoodsideFire
Smoke from the #WoodsideFire is expected to continue to flow into the North Bay valleys with the peak transport occurring in the afternoon and evening hours. For air quality information follow @SpareTheAir and @AirDistrict. #CAwx
Solar is powering California & we’re working hard to transition entirely to an affordable, clean energy future. I’ve authored laws to expand solar generation in California & I’ll take that work to Congress.
@benryanwriter This has been going on for years. And he's likely to soon win the race to be our congressional rep, and of course many of these folks wanted one of the other candidates in the primary and still want the other candidate in November.
This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious.
Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal. https://t.co/72wxaVLzVT
You paid for a plane with "a level of luxury that nobody has never seen before". And he's apparently taking it with him once he leaves the White House.
The plane. The ballroom. The corruption. This guy thinks taxpayers are dopes. Your money is just his to live a life of luxury.
.@jamestalarico: Ken Paxton let a pedophile back onto our streets. Adam Hoffman, an admitted child molester, should have served 25 years to life in prison, but instead he served less than 29 days, and that's because Ken Paxton gave him an Epstein-style sweetheart deal. Adam Hoffman didn't even have to register as a sex offender in Texas after admitting to molesting a child, an 8 year old boy.
And so that's why today I called on Ken Paxton to release the Hoffman files, all text messages, all emails, internal memos, all documents relating to the Hoffman case, so that Texans can get their questions answered about this corrupt deal.
The Epstein class has no place in Texas, and if there's one thing that we can all still agree on, Democrats, independents, and Republicans alike, it's that no one, including the Attorney General of Texas, should be able to cover up crimes against children.
The Justice Department quietly deleted thousands of press releases about the Jan. 6 insurrection
So Lawfare restored them: more than 5,700 pages recovered and publicly archived.
@TylerMcBrien, Michael Feinberg, and Benjamin Wittes explain how. https://t.co/qtcxOnOmfa
The retired federal judges are urging court to plow ahead w/ investigation of Trump's slush fund & his sweetheart deal with IRS
"At issue here are the parties’ extraordinary actions: an obviously collusive suit; an unprecedented, clearly unwarranted settlement premised on the supposed legitimacy of that suit"
Opinion: San Francisco liberals howled when Trump tried to silence Kaepernick. Now they want to do the same thing to four pitchers they disagree with.

The White House was built to serve the American people.
Tonight it was used to promote a company the President owns stock in, sell subscriptions, promote corporate sponsors, push Trump crypto, and enrich the President and his family.
The founders warned us about kings enriching themselves from public office.
They did not fight a revolution for this.
