Executive VP @PeopleFor. Passionate about protecting our democracy: getting big money out of politics & ensuring fair and independent courts. Avid gardener.

We already knew that Emil Bove was unfit to serve as a federal judge.

Now we see additional confirmation of that fact.

How can we trust someone with such contempt of the law to be a fair arbiter of the law?

Lawyers and big firms: For God’s sake, stand up for the legal profession, and for the Constitution. Defend the oath you took when you became officers of the court. If we stand together and fight, we will win. https://t.co/SFu33zRvgD...

BREAKING: This executive order would block tens of millions of American citizens from voting. Presidents have no authority to do this. This order, like the SAVE Act now before Congress, would hurt voters and suppress the vote. https://t.co/gUjiWgoty7

Senate will soon vote on 3 top DOJ nominees: Reitz, Sauer and Dhillon, who refused to say Trump Admin must follow federal court orders. Time for Senate to be with the people - who rely on courts to protect them from abuses of power by a would-be king.

On Trump defying court orders. WSJ: “[T]he Administration can appeal whatever ruling Judge Boasberg hands down, and the case will go up the appellate chain, perhaps as far as the Supreme Court. What the Administration can’t do is defy a court order without being lawless itself.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Chief Justice Roberts rebukes Trump, saying impeachment isn't 'appropriate response' to disagreeing with judge's ruling.

Trump says he’ll protect women but fails the Tate test: https://t.co/mLiglHsZWY
Trump claimed not to know about WH helping Tates. "I’m going to assume that’s about as true as his claim to know nothing about Project 2025 ..or his telling American women, “I will be your protector.”

Let's not miss forest for trees in House gov't funding vote: R's just voted to let DOGE continue its devastating work - compromising air safety, food safety, receipt of social security benefits, cancer research …[word limit here; feel free to add]. Senate must act to protect us.

Proud to stand in solidarity with hundreds in DC and thousands around America fighting, resisting, and holding a #Light4Democracy.

Students with disabilities and their families would lose the support they need at school and at home. #protectourkids

Public education cuts lead to larger class sizes and less support for students and educators #protectourkids

[margebaker @margebaker]

Students and families who receive support to attend college could lose Pell Grants or federal student loans, leading to more students dropping out, fewer choices, and less options for families.#protectourkids
