🚨 New WaPo–Schar School poll: 79% of D.C. residents oppose Trump’s federal takeover of local police. ➡️ 61% say they feel less safe with more federal troops ➡️ Only 31% see crime as a major issue (and it’s falling) ➡️ Residents prefer local solutions, not federal control wapo.st/45EHfZQ (gift link)

Unanswered question: What did Maxwell offer up as her side of the bargain? This is unprecedented, lenient treatment of a sex offender serving a 20 year sentence. Her side of the deal must have been highly valuable—someone really wanted whatever she offered.

Trump + Hegseth shut down Russian cybersecurity ops immediately upon coming into office. Russia just hacked a federal court system, per NYT. “Some of the documents … are highly sensitive records that could reveal the sources behind evidence gathered in the prosecution of national security crimes.”

These two headlines together. 😌

These people are incredibly inept. Why they’re trying to give him another position and the way they’re trying to bury this story should give everyone pause www.perplexity.ai/page/hackers...

More tRump Corruption A little-known firm with investors linked to JD Vance, Elon Musk & tRump could get a piece of the federal expense card system — and its hundreds of millions in fees. “This goes against all the normal contracting safeguards,” one expert said. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

In addition to 22 Past Presidents of the D.C. Bar, and 22 Past Presidents of affinity or voluntary Bar Associations, these legal leaders, legal organizations, and voluntary Bar Associations endorse me to become President of the #DCBar. I’m grateful for every single endorsement. Please vote.

I cannot say this strongly enough -- If you are a member of the DC Bar, VOTE NOW for Diane Seltzer for president.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

…proclaimed “Kilmar Abrego Garcia, miraculously risen from the ‘death camps’ & ‘torture,’” was “now sipping margaritas with Sen. Van Hollen in the tropical paradise of El Salvador!” Bukele also maintained Abrego Garcia would be “staying in El Salvador’s custody.”

NEW reporting from the NYT: “A Bukele aide placed the two glasses with cherries and salted rims on the table in front of Mr. Van Hollen and Mr. Abrego Garcia in the middle of their meeting in an attempt to stage the photo.” In a deeply disturbing social media post, President Bukele then…

The problem of tariffs goes beyond stock market decline. They open the door to lobbying, favoritism, and graft.

I know which one I care about more, and it's not another test results report covering up the president's mental and physical health ailments.

They said Joe Biden was too old—but his age never led him to deliberately crash the stock market just to “own the libs.” Under Joe Biden (Jan 2021 – Jan 2025): S&P 500: +57.85% Nasdaq: +43.4% Dow: +42% Under Trump (So far, Jan 2025 – Apr 2025): S&P 500: –6.4% Nasdaq: –11% Dow: –4.7%

Elon Musk compromised an ongoing federal investigation by posting about someone who stole 400k SSNs. This isn’t his first time sharing private information so openly. Imagine what he’s doing with your information that he copied onto private servers. www.perplexity.ai/page/musk-s-...

Big Law firms and partners have choices about whether to capitulate or to stand tall. History is watching.

Disruption is all they seem to understand—so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.

Wisconsin! Get out and vote today for Susan Crawford for the state Supreme Court! Brad Schimel is unfit.

Brad Schimel wants to take Wisconsin back to 1849. But folks in Milwaukee are fired up to stop him. An overflow crowd at the noon canvass launch.

Our European allies are gearing up for something. fortune.com/2025/03/26/e... Highly recommend y’all do the same to be ready for any scenario at any time.

Flying over Milwaukee

Last night, I kicked-off a statewide phonebank to Get Out The Vote for our special elections on April 1 for @gayforcongress.bsky.social & @joshweil.bsky.social. Republicans know their billionaire takeover is unpopular & they’re scared that voters are showing up to stop them. Let’s prove them right.

The new administration has launched a brazen attack on elections, which could disenfranchise millions. Join Brennan Center experts for a virtual discussion on the executive order, the SAVE Act, and protecting democracy on Tuesday, April 1, at 3pm ET. RSVP:

Uh guys? NBC just found out a DHS staffer accidentally added a journalist to an email thread about an ICE raid in Denver. Yeah, a completely separate incident. THAT staffer is being punished — so why aren’t Hegseth & Waltz???

They are arresting people on the streets, terminating their visas, and disappearing them for writing things they disagree with. This is where we are. Two months in. Right now. If you think they won’t begin coming after citizens soon, you are mistaken.

This is a very important point. Breathlessly vague headlines and summaries of these executive orders created for the executive powers it does not have. This kind of press contributed to authoritarian regime change.

JD Dunce, from the Confederacy of Dunces.

OMG!! Randy Fine, GOP candidate Congress District 6, was booed during a meeting on Tue. The way he spoke to the public was disgusting, including using the term "terrorist rag" when referring to the scarf worn by a woman. What a condescending pig (my apologies to pigs) VOTE FOR JOSH WEIL !!

Republicans can cry and deflect and blame all they want, but they’re shook. Elise Stefanik’s nomination was pulled today for UN Ambassador. They’re TERRIFIED of their margins in the House of Representatives after their national security crisis. Florida is in play. apple.news/AD52UVcx_Qr-...

We don't need to outspend Musk to defeat him. We just need to outvote the people he's motivating. Join our phone banks and chip in some dough to help us do it. Volunteer: wisdems.org/call

He's got to keep pushing on this because, now, he's so deeply tied to the outcome. If Schimel loses, Musk loses too. His need to win creates a huge vulnerability. And Schimel's attachment to him creates political weakness. bsky.app/profile/benw...

Musk is now way over $20 million deep into his attempt to buy Wisconsin's Supreme Court. The direct effects of Wisconsin's majority will be enormous. But there's now another huge question at play: can Musk buy whatever election he wants? If Crawford wins, his perceived political power collapses.

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

"It will be the first time a Democrat has held the seat since it was redistricted in 1980." www.wgal.com/article/pa-s...

Right now, there’s an important race happening that will shape the Wisconsin Supreme Court for the next 10 years. Judge Susan Crawford is ready to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of all Wisconsinites. Make a plan to vote early today — don’t wait until April 1st: wisdems.org/vote

Hegseth: The DOD will be merit based and colorblind. You will be judged on how good you are at your job. Full stop.

This is the biggest news of the last 24 hours—not the Signal Scandal. Trump watchers have long said that early in his presidency he would begin a push to utterly destroy the U.S. voting system and disenfranchise millions and millions of voters. Here we go.

If you ever needed any evidence that the two parties are not the same, here’s a sliver.

Did you hear that the much trumpeted mission to house 30,000 immigrants at Guantanamo Bay has completely failed and ended? Nah...they don't want you to know they burned over $16M for 290 people. But they got the pictures! Really. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...
