By tying his voter suppression bill to the TSA funding, Trump is saying we’ll have long lines and TSA folks won’t get paid unless Republicans strip the ability to vote from millions of Americans. It’s not voter ID. It’s voter suppression.

PAYING ONE BILLION DOLLARS TO LOSE THE GREEN ENERGY RACE... a wild new low of a bad deal, even for this president. Literally paying money so that everyone else has to also pay more money for energy. A true lose-lose deal. Amazing. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/23/c...

The Constitution does not call before the maintenance of sewer systems or highways or the construction of airports or even the running of various public departments. But it does call for the right to counsel. Excellent op ed. mississippitoday.org/2026/02/27/p...

All these Doge Bros' sworn testimony is basically some version of "this thing wasn't about white guys so I canceled it" but exclusively phrased in the worst possible way

I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children. This is learned today: Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%. www.npr.org/2026/03/11/n...

This prosecutor objecting to Brendon's sane, reasonable request for basic equity is so embarrassing for them. Like how do you stand up and take the position "no let's not spend an extra couple of hours to eliminate a clear appearance of racial bias." apnews.com/article/juri...

GUESS WHO MADE THE INDIE LIST? I could not be more excited to have The Price of Mercy on this list---this is the *indie* list, meaning books that are selling well at real brick-and-mortar bookstores, and indie sellers online...ergo my readers are the coolest ;)

Can't wait to see you Philly!

abolish ICE is a majority position among INDEPENDENTS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC you have 23% among REPUBLICANS we have at least three more years of this shit what I am saying is: the next Dem president had better be ready to walk into DHS with a chainsaw on Day 1

Always prioritize Tupac

More than 70,000 North Carolinians have incomplete voter registrations. Check the database below to see if you’re on the list. If you are, you can still vote, but you should bring your driver’s license with you, and you may be required to cast a provisional ballot.

This report does a fantastic job of documenting a ridiculous crisis - there are only two ways out, arrest fewer people or hire more public defenders. Jdxs are going to have to do one or the other and continuing to drag their feet is only going to make the situation worse.

See you soon Iowa!!! law.uiowa.edu/event/36709/0

Santa Clara County Public Defenders! Today I got the deeply moving experience of walking back into the office where I began my path as a defender, and sharing The Price of Mercy with the brilliant champions moving us all closer to free and equal justice. My heart is so full.

In case you’re wondering how MAGA is taking the news. Let’s just say the group chat is in full meltdown mode. Here’s what the loudest right wing voices are saying: 📌 Tucker Carlson: the decision to attack Iran “absolutely disgusting and evil.” 🧵

WOW. 19 people, all who were imprisoned and mistreated in a foreign prison at the direct command of the United States, are brave enough to say “We are innocent, and we will endure more time imprisoned to prove that.” I can only admire the enormous courage such a move takes.

So thrilled to be on The Jabot via @abovethelaw.com to talk about The Price of Mercy! abovethelaw.com/2026/02/the-...

When people run on a tough on crime platform, what are they really promising you? Nothing. They are promising you this status quo. Zero innovation. Such a pleasure to talk with Michele Storms about The Price of Mercy at @townhallseattle.bsky.social !

See you soon Mill Valley!
