Our own @lnicholls.bsky.social & @lu-ci-a.bsky.social are co-counsel for respondent on appeal to the #Wisconsin Supreme Court in this case looking at #standing in Wisconsin state courts. Read more here: www.publicjustice.net/case_brief/g...

If you are a member of the press or public and have been denied access to ANY immigration court, we want to hear from you! 2/2

Together with the ACLU of NorCal, we are challenging the reported lack of public access to immigration court in Concord, CA. Any decision to abruptly cut off public access to immigration proceedings would contravene the First Amendment and federal law. 1/2

Concord Immigration Court has jurisdiction over a large swath of California’s Central Valley (aka America’s bread basket). Immigration hearings are currently restricted to those with "official business." This is not normal. It violates the court’s own rules, federal law, and the U.S. Constitution.

Here’s Public Justice’s statement on the LabCorp DIG: nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

If you haven’t seen the news or heard the giant sigh of relief, LabCorp got DIGed this morning. Class actions survive another day.

📄 BRIEF FILED 🏛️ Will Wisconsin continue to recognize that ✨ statutory claims are enough ✨ to sue in state court, or will it follow the federal courts and require distinct concrete injuries to bring a lawsuit? @lu-ci-a.bsky.social @lnicholls.bsky.social www.publicjustice.net/case_brief/g...

So, the Biden admin issued some regs that sought to make a dent in spam calls. The 11th Cir struck them down, and the Trump admin was uninterested in seeking rehearing or otherwise engaging on this. So.

Can we all just please stop accepting this insane notion that the ABA is somehow now a changed leftist organization because it stood for the rule of law (as opposed to the administration going so far right it is off the rails?). Do we need a refresher on ABA history?

Thrilled that @publicjustice.bsky.social is teaming up w/ @youthvgov.bsky.social on behalf of these amazing young ppl "He's waging war on us with fossil fuels as his weapon, and we're fighting back with the Constitution," said named plaintiff Eva Lighthiser. www.commondreams.org/news/trump-c...

With @publicjustice.bsky.social & Correia Puth representing us, we've filed a motion to intervene in Abrego Garcia, asserting that future hearings should be livestreamed www.publicjustice.net/abrego-garci.... Remote access should be granted automatically but even more so in such an important case.

I'm David Seligman. I’m running for CO Attorney General. This campaign is about reclaiming our power from the billionaires who have stolen it from us, from working families. We will fight. And we will win. Because we love our country the core promise it made to us: The law belongs to us.

In the last 24 hours, I’ve thinking a lot about the Angels Unawares sculpture at the Vatican (more accurately the replica near my house) and how radical it feels. When it should not. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angels_...

this is exactly why people think the subway is unsafe even though, statistically speaking, it is far safer than driving car crashes are so common that we tune them out whereas subway crime is so shocking that it usually goes viral

My big takeaway from tonight’s DC Bar president candidates Q&A is that Pam Bondi’s brother is exactly who you think he is, and it’s very important that DC lawyers cast our votes for @whatajlp.bsky.social by the 6/4 deadline. Search your email for “Vote Today in the D.C. Bar Election” and do it now.

Not me rubbing down my child with vodka because we couldn’t find the rubbing alcohol.

The prize money in Liège-Bastogne-Liege 💰 Still a big gender gap. When will we finally see equal prize money in all WT one day races? The same appreciation for both genders, is that still asked too much for certain organisations in 2025? #cycling #LBL25 #cyclingbluesky

This is great to see—in my parents’ district & county. My dad has been calling Davidson’s office regularly these days, and maybe someday all of this pressure will mean someone else can get elected there.

Too many Americans lose their driver's licenses b/c of debt (which doesn't affect other people's safety) and too few b/c of reckless driving (which absolutely does).

The prior version of the Outback was already an SUV. I will die on this hill. (We test drove one while shopping for a station wagon, and a station wagon it was clearly not.)

Just to remind everyone: this is *our* fucking money--locally raised tax dollars--that Congress simply won't let our government spend, for no reason other than spite. This is why DC needs statehood. But also, this is just petty, petty bullshit by House Republican leadership.

🚨🚨🚨🚨 DC Bar voting begins today. A few of the candidates have ties to the Trump administration, and the winners will play a role is determining which DC bar members are subject to bar discipline. If you are a member of the DC Bar, vote here: my.dcbar.org/personalsnap...

Finally got caught up on Flanders, and the commentary for the women’s race was so so much better than for the men’s race—accurate rider identification, focus on what was happening in the race while providing interesting color, etc. I assume there is a patriarchy reason for this.

Just when rising prices mean you might run into an overdraft when you least expect it, House Republicans decide to keep it easy for big banks to steal money from you *every time* Miscalculate the grocery bill by $1? Congratulations, you could be out another $35!

No. AI can pry my em dashes from my cold, dead hands. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

The House schedule for next week doesn’t include the Senate bill that fixes the $1.1 billion hole that the House blew in D.C.’s local budget. If no action is taken next week, it gets bumped into late April or early May, pushing D.C. closer to having to start making actual cuts.

It’s, uh, pretty well established that it is unconstitutional to use deadly force to prevent *escape* (Unless the person is about to harm others, etc. But you can’t shoot someone in the back *because* they are running away.)

In a first for the Ivy League school, Columbia's new officers have the same powers of warrantless search and arrest as any other police officer under New York law. The state law permits the officers to use "physical force and deadly physical force in making an arrest or preventing an escape."

Eminem now being a grandfather feels pretty rude, tbh. I'm much too young to feel this damn old.

A federal judge blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to dismantle the CFPB, an agency that protects consumers from fraud and abuse. Backed by Elon Musk, the administration tried to shut it down before courts could intervene. We filed an amicus brief on behalf of 203 Members of Congress.

There’s lots to love (including references to the brief my amazing team @publicjustice.bsky.social drafted on behalf of members of Congress) in the opinion granting the PI in the CFPB case, but I think what I love the most is the calling out of the admin’s lies, gaslighting, and BS for what it is.

This is all just racism dressed up in garbage "history" and should be easy to ridicule and discount. Why don’t we all do it, more, en masse, so everyone can see us doing it?

“The #CFPB’s overdraft fee rule would put $5 billion back into the pockets of everyday people at a time when relief is desperately needed ... Congress should be laser-focused on addressing high costs & inflation, not increasing profit margins at big banks." #HandsOffCFPB www.nclc.org/nearly-every...

TIL that my kid’s daycare has a protocol for what to do if ICE shows up. WTF are we doing when a daycare needs an ICE plan? (The need is not hypothetical. ICE showed up at an elementary school in DC today. Fortunately, they probably also had a plan, and no one was taken.)

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

What happens when America's consumer watchdog walks away from cases it was pursuing? My @propublica.org colleagues want to hear from people on the ground. www.propublica.org/getinvolved/...

again and again (1) the order is patently illegal and nobody should do anything that it requires (2) even if it were not, EOs do not require anyone to do anything who is not a member of the executive branch Come the fuck on

Thanks Bernie Sanders and @aoc.bsky.social for the opportunity to speak today about how corporations and billionaires rig our economy and our democracy for their own profits and power. #copol

There's a lot more to the American legal profession than cowardly corporate lawyers who refuse to speak up for the rule of law. Listen to my friend @daveyseligman.bsky.social fire up a huge crowd yesterday, highlighting his experiences litigating against corporate abuses of workers.

If the #CFPB went away entirely, “You’re going to see a boom and bust in crypto. You might see a recession,” Scott said. “We’re gonna see foreclosures. People forget that. People don’t remember what that’s like.” #ProtectConsumers #HandsOffCFPB @newyorker.com www.newyorker.com/news/deep-st...

The House CR has lots of problems, but a big one is that it restricts how the District of Columbia spends its OWN money. This doesn't save a single federal tax dollar—it just treats DC residents like pawns. It's undemocratic and un-American. I will fight it on the Senate floor.

Why lay off teachers in the middle of the school year? Why cut police while working to reduce crime? Why defund Metro while it wins back riders? That is exactly what the CR does to DC — without saving the federal government a dime. It is undemocratic, un-American, and undermines self-governance.

A lot of people are saying the Senate Dems are in a "tough spot" or have to make a "hard call" and... I don't really think so. I think you can definitely make *some coherent argument* for supporting the CR... but that argument is weak and wrong?

Also this. The Republican CR would take $2m out of my kid’s school’s budget. It’s not hypothetical. DC has a balanced budget and the $$ in question was raised from local taxes. It’s just retribution.

Senate Democrats— A vote AGAINST the Republican CR isn’t a vote to shut down the government—they’re in charge and need your votes. But a vote FOR the Republican CR is a vote to allow Elon Musk to continue shutting down the government and nullifying the role of Congress.

Musk claims Social Security is a "gigantic magnet to attract illegal immigrants." In fact, immigrants here illegally do not collect Social Security. But they pay $25.7 billion a year into it, a recent study found, so these undocumented workers are actually subsidizing Americans.
