As we begin a new month, my law firm is litigation 51 voting and election cases in 25 states. 6 in Arizona 6 in Georgia 4 in Florida 4 in North Carolina 8 involve redistricting
Public safety in California is on the rise. Last year, California had the second-lowest homicide rate since at least 1966, decreasing by nearly 12% overall since 2023. We're going to drive that progress forward up and down the state.
IT’S ALL NATIVE LAND!

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
Google developer #1: "That's it. Our search engine is simple, efficient, and reliable. It's perfect. We're done." Google developer #2, presumably: "But wouldn't it be *more* perfect if the first search result was always a robot who mansplained your search results to you incorrectly?"

The six reliably pro-Trump justices are "racking up a rap sheet of constitutional abuses of staggering import." ICYMI Philip Allen Lacovara on the coming judgment of history:
If we have to become an authoritarian state, can we at least get eco-cities, bullet trains, and renewable energy?
Did I mention that I love the ocean? 🌊 And though the Atlantic is still my favourite, in particular off the Outer Hebrides coast, I have forged a deeper connection with it here in the Baltic Sea this year. #ocean #balticsea #atlantic #climateaction #nature #photography #rügen #waves
Brilliant
Will be vacationing soon in your dynamic city and enjoy the awesome food
Great to stop by Hyde Park and see Chef Erick Williams. This Black Business Month and every month, we’re proud to show the world what Illinois is really all about.
“Let’s begin by saying that we are living through a very dangerous time.” So opens “A Talk to Teachers,” which James Baldwin delivered to a group of educators in October, 1963.

"Here’s the truth we cannot escape: If Ashli Babbitt is honored, then few things are sacred. If loyalty to the Constitution and an attempt to overthrow it are treated as equal, we lose the very meaning of service." www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
Honored that Mark is now a Democracy Docket member.🙏 The force of democracy must be with us!!!🥳
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.
I had a great time at the 3rd Annual Fire Truck Pull in Palm Beach Gardens, supporting Connections School for Autism. Events like this bring our community together, raise awareness for autism, and show the strength of Palm Beach County when we stand side by side #Florida
One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that Russia is attempting to destabilize Germany, including targeting its infrastructure, and therefore Berlin is in direct conflict with Moscow.
This new Missouri map was written by a 23-year-old bro in Washington, DC who has never walked into a public school cafeteria in Jackson, Clay, Platte, or northern Cass County. Own goal incoming.
Life for Palestinians in Gaza has gotten worse under Trump, not better. So where are Jill Stein and Cornel West now? They aren’t leading protests in DC outside the White House, no rallies. Almost like the whole 2024 thing was just performative.
If Missouri Republicans mid-cycle redistrict and break the law, they will be sued. That is a promise and I don't bluff. Just ask Texas. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I’m not really into tea, but when I walked into this tea shop in Kyiv, I was impressed. Just wanted to show you. In case someone still thinks Kyiv is stuck in Soviet or prehistoric times. 😉

Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.
Clean energy isn’t “woke.” It’s an essential part of our energy future and saves us all on power bills. This administration’s war on offshore wind and solar is just going to raise Americans’ utilities.
She was found on a heating grate in the middle of winter! The shelter gave her that name and we loved it so we kept it. She is now a little space heater. She has many nicknames including H, Heat, Heat Ray, Small Orange, Stripey Girl, and Little Teeny Tiny Tiny Teeny One. Please reply with more.

“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.

"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
Now is the time to speak up! The USDA is accepting public comments until September 19, 2025, and it’s vital that outdoor enthusiasts, and everyone who values public lands make their voices heard! We've made it easy to send a message here: bit.ly/4nqK2xd
Stephen Manning, this guy’s lawyer, is one of the best in the country. It’s very good news that he’s taken this case.

@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
The Pickett Fire appears to have ignited on a vineyard property that was preparing for a wedding celebration — even though Napa County famously bars all but a few wineries from holding such events.
Turns out when you treat teachers well, invest in students, and focus on improving schools, you get real results. Illinois now ranks third in the nation for our education system for a reason.
Just realized one of the advantages of moving to Europe 20 years ago is my kids never had to do active shooter drills. This realization has generated a composite emotion in me consisting of 10% sorrow, 15% contempt, & 75% rage.

Taylor Townsend, the underdog who never backs down, took center stage and shined under the lights at Arthur Ashe Stadium, defeating the No. 5 seed! When others tried to dim her light, she showed the world her power. Ben Crump Law is proud to sponsor this fearless force in tennis!
Morning Bluesky. Tesla had its seventh straight monthly decline in European sales in July, dropping 40% to 8,837. Chinese rival BYD surged past Tesla with 225% sales increase, to 13,503.
MAGA cowardice has become a familiar sight across America. They know Americans are growing angrier each day because of their destructive policies, incompetent governance, and want them out of power. Watch JD Vance try to avoid protesters in Wisconsin. Keep forcing them to see us, America! 🔥
Is that a prehensile tail??
Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie. (Seriously, that’s the answer)
Absolutely true. Absolutely chilling.

you just know somebody’s being called by their full name right now
Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.

The unprecedented step to redraw Missouri maps in the middle of the decade and without an updated census is not an act of democracy – it is an unconstitutional attack against it. My full statement on the effort to gerrymander Missouri here: cleaver.house.gov/media-center...

I put together a playlist of 130 different old school hip hop artists from the 80's. It's 10 hours and 54 minutes and you won't hear the same artist twice. This was no easy task. Enjoy. I❤️HipHop.

The problem isn’t that there is no way to alert the public to coming disasters. It’s that local officials too often don’t use it. My latest for @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/ipaw...
They don’t care if you have papers or not. What they care about is whether you look like an immigrant from south of the border.

Tesla said it didn’t have key data in a fatal crash. Then a hacker found it. The critical evidence was presented to a jury last month, which found the company partially liable for the 2019 crash in Key Largo, Florida. 🎁 wapo.st/46dCoQI
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
Sand batteries are literally just silos of sand that retain heat exceptionally well -- so well that they can be tied to heat exchange systems to serve as proxy *electrical* batteries. Finland's new model can store enough power (100 MWh) to heat an entire town for a week. newatlas.com/energy/large...
