The Third Circuit unanimously upheld the ruling that Trump’s personal lawyer Alina Habba was unlawfully installed as acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey.

The rule of law prevailed.

Using official White House platforms to shame news organizations for their reporting is unconstitutional government retaliation against the press.

Trump announced a pardon for the ex president of Honduras who was convicted in a huge drug-trafficking case.

Meanwhile, he’s ordering extrajudicial strikes on alleged drug smugglers—state-sanctioned killings with no process, no charges, no evidence presented to a court.

This is authoritarianism.

FYI: There is no legal mechanism for a president to “terminate” a predecessor’s official acts by announcement.

Trump is asserting a power that doesn’t exist in the Constitution, statute, or precedent.

This power does not exist. He’s making it up.

The Washington Post editorial board decided the Epstein files have “no public interest” before even seeing them. That’s a stunning position for any newsroom to take. Praising Clay Higgins as the lone ‘no’ vote, too? No wonder no one trusts legacy media. Absolutely disgusting.

Mike Johnson and the Republicans shut down the government rather than cancel their cuts to healthcare. Millions of people will lose coverage or face skyrocketing costs if they get their way.

Call your member of Congress at (202) 224-3121 and demand they fund healthcare.

BREAKING: Jane Goodall has died.

She was my college graduation speaker and an idol of mine.

What a hero. I’m heartbroken to learn of her passing.

Her groundbreaking work with chimpanzees changed science forever, and her tireless advocacy inspired millions to protect our natural world. RIP 🥺

Most comments on my TEDx talk (which went up 8 days ago) have been thoughtful and overwhelmingly positive. And yet—one like this can still cut through all of that, trying to undermine the crucial points I made with a sexist, irrelevant remark. 1/🧵

MY TEDxHCCS TALK IS LIVE!!!

Here’s a sneak peek—just the first minute.

The full talk is on the TEDx YouTube channel now, and it’s one of the things I’m proudest to have done.

It’s about digital privacy, surveillance, and the rights we’re losing without even realizing it.
