My law firm is now litigating 85 voting and election cases in 40 states. This is the largest number of cases in the most states we have ever handled at one time. And, while Big Law firms mostly sit idly by, the need to protect elections in court is only growing.

Rep. Jason Crow on Rubio's Munich speech: "Not only did he say things I found disturbing, what was also important was what he did not say. He never mentioned Russia once. He never mentioned China once. There was historically revisionism."

1) Did you know the story of the Freedom House EMS in Pittsburgh, a group of Black men who became America's first paramedics and set the gold standard for emergency medicine around the world? Until the 1970s, if you suffered a medical crisis, your chances of survival were minimal. #ShedShed #Pinks

We’re only nine days into February, and Democrats have already won two state legislative seats in Texas and Louisiana districts that Trump carried by double digits. The average swing towards Democrats in these elections: more than 30 points.
