A reminder:
If you hear someone saying that they hope lawyers are ready to go to court to protect free and fair elections, I suggest you let them know that my law firm is already litigating more than 80 voting and election cases in 40 states.

A reminder:
I watch a lot of thrillers and I find the mood music overwhelming. For me, music is always whelming, but often overwhelming. Suspense music is hard for me to take, bordering on impossible sometimes. I guess it's a sensory thing and I'd like to be able to turn off the soundtrack.

Today, instead of my normal daily writing, I'm baking cookies to give to my neighbors. I'm fairly new to the neighborhood so I'm giving out my best cookies and introducing myself. I want the people around me to feel safe and supported during this troubled time.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

This should be big news, but it’s barely a whisper.
The Trump admin is focusing on the wrong problem. The fraud isn’t w/SNAP recipients, it’s with outside scammers.
USDA let outdated SNAP cards stay vulnerable, and families lost about $555 million in food benefits, not to “cheating,” but to theft.

People want to have their basic needs met.
They want to be paid a living wage.
They want to stop being nickle and dimed by powerful corporations who control so much of our lives.
They do not want Venezuela.

When people argue that renewable energy sources are too expensive, remember that we don’t invade countries to seize wind farms and there are no solar cartels. Fossil fuels have enormous geopolitical, public health, and climate externalities.
