1/ Today, ProPublica is running a piece I've been working on for a bit. It's about what happened with a devastating wave of bird flu earlier this year, as egg prices hit record highs.
And it's a story that illuminates the ways the U.S. is failing to control what could become the next pandemic. 🧵

I want to take a moment to thank the entire Elias Law Group team who worked on the Texas redistricting case as well as our fearless clients. The thirteen Black and Latino voters we represented stood up to challenge Texas's unprecedented mid-decade redistricting. We all ow them a debt of gratitude.

Breaking: A Trump-appointed judge just ruled that Texas Republicans CANNOT use their new gerrymandered map in the 2026 midterm elections.

I’m still thinking about “quiet, piggy.” No president should be able to speak to a member of the press that way and remain president. That moment encapsulates how vile, misogynistic, and horrible that man is.

That they have lived with this trauma & pain for so long is truly heartbreaking. How anyone can support protecting the perpetrators any longer is hard to believe & a complete disgrace!

The first paragraph should make this clear...first line.
The second paragraph of every article about Trump freeing House Republicans to vote to release the Epstein files should make it clear that he could order them released himself and chooses not to.

A bad thing is unfolding at NIH this week: It looks like the Trump administration is trying to replace key civil servant scientific leaders, the Institute Directors, with political hires. These directors control the NIH budget, tens of billions.

Telling that he only counts Republican Congress members and Senators...not all.
Trump pulls his endorsement of Marge Greene, says he is done with her for good, says she’s “a raving lunatic”, and he’s going to endorse someone to run against her. The Epstein Meltdown continues.

Clearly another distraction from Epstein files...when will GOP wake up and stop him? He is a danger to our world.
Looks like we’re going to war with Venezuela to distract from the Epstein files.

Khanna: You know, someone said to me, “Well, this backbencher from the House is calling for Schumer to step down.”
I said, “The point is the backbenchers need to come to the front.” Those of us in the back — we need to move to the front. And a new generation of leadership needs to emerge.”

BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow.
She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

Come on! We know members of the Senate are “free agents,” but the fact is Schumer didn’t hold his caucus together & isn’t doing his job as Leader
We’re supposed to believe it’s a coincidence that none of the Dems who voted yes on the CR have anything to lose in 2026?
@schumer.senate.gov STEP DOWN!

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.
A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.
When will party leadership learn this lesson?

You mean the pinkie promise by the GOP the 8 Dems believed is not holding up??? It's gotten to the point that whatever Trump or his GOP cronies say...the truth is the opposite...when he says he will always do something...it's never...when he says lower prices/gas/groceries...it's higher......Get it?
In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies
