Senior advisor to President Obama, consultant for HBO, Netflix, A24, former White House and Senator Schumer flack.
- “When White House staff feel confident in their internal processes and in each other, there’s little incentive to speak out of turn. The rupture between Stephen Miller and DHS could prove to be a major breaking point for the administration.” www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-h...
- it’s easy to get discouraged about politics. But the implosion of this once-juggernaut—until quite recently untouchable—didn’t happen by accident. it took years of organizing, advocacy, determination. www.washingtontimes.com/news/2026/fe...
- with ICE and Epstein dominating the news, this is getting overshadowed -- but it may be the most consequential if we want free and fair elections this November.

- Reposted by Eric SchultzI don't think legacy media is reading the room correctly on the Epstein Files. Many of us are asking why they have ignored this story for the last decade? Why did they dismiss all of us who were concerned that Trump might be compromised? And where is their fucking contrition and apology now?

- "With the Senate negotiating a budget bill that would outright ban states from regulating AI for the next decade, parents stand to be left alone to navigate yet another grand social experiment conducted on their children - this time with graver circumstances than we’ve yet encountered."
- To mark the 10-year anniversary of an historic week, @barackobama.bsky.social chatted with @garrisonhayes.bsky.social, an online creator about the themes from that moment that resonate today – that making progress in a democracy relies on ordinary people doing their best to make America better.

- Shari Redstone thinks she’s saving her company from financial peril. But her legacy will now be the who oversaw the decimation of what was once the most revered news operation in the world.

- I get that people have to sell books. And I get that DNC Vice-Chair elections matter. But if a Democratic President accepted a $400 million gift from the Qatari royal family, coverage would be breathless, non-stop and wall-to-wall -- no room for any other story.

- smart of @rep-jeffrieshakeem.bsky.social These so-called moderate House Republicans have claimed they are opposed to cuts to food assistance and Medicaid - now they can prove it: all we need is five Republicans to join Dems to prevent massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP.

- another blockbuster story on Trump's self-enrichment as he wrecks the economy for the rest of us. the scale of the corruption is unfathomable for any other President - Democrat or Republican. Dems should be hammering.
- The media's ongoing, preemptive surrenders to Trump only strengthen his hand and prove the intimidation tactics work.
- "Do you just cower in the corner? Do you just try to disappear? Do you just leave democracy to-- fend for itself? Or do you stand tall and do the best you can every day to-- represent your clients and try to preserve the rule of law?" -@marcelias.bsky.social
- President Trump signed orders targeting law firms that had connections to investigations or legal cases related to Trump or his allies. A senior partner at one firm told 60 Minutes the orders were “diabolical” and “intended to bankrupt [us].” cbsn.ws/43btfGV
- Not a complicated political message: Trump is enriching himself while the rest of us get clobbered.

- couldn't be more clear: Trump and his cronies are getting richer as they wreck the economy for the rest of us.
- this is just the beginning. hearing of multiple corporate clients leaving law firms that capitulated to Trump. it’s only logical: if you’re in a face off with federal government, you can’t retain a law firm with conflicted interests.
- the corruption unfolding in plain sight is of a massive scale. dems should be all over this.

- where we are
- Heading into WHCD Weekend: -head of longest running news program resigns citing corporate pressures -WHCA fires comedian after she criticizes Trump -one of POLITICO’s own says he was asked to censor critical reporting about Trump.
- a recognition that could not be more deserved. if you want to support an organization that is doing the hard work of protecting our country's values, check out @democracyforward.org and its fearless leader @skyeperryman.bsky.social
- an important and smart move from Harvard. law firms and universities caving to Trump have exercised horrible judgement.
- an aggressive, smart play from one of our Party's strongest leaders. if Democrats are going to regain our footing, we have to offer a cogent pitch to improve peoples economic situation. Ro is doing just that here. 👇
- the news gets even better for Paul Weiss, Milbank, and Willkie. wonder if this will be enough for attorneys to get out.
- most effective way to rebuild the Democratic Party is to support down-ballot races. lots of new energy here 👇

- "The Trump approach is dumb power. Instead of a strong America using all our strengths to lead the world and confront our adversaries, Mr. Trump’s America will be increasingly blind and blundering, feeble and friendless." - Secretary Clinton www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/o...
- makes Paul Weiss cowardice even more self-defeating

- Smart and important move from @democracyforward.org As law firms struggle to respond to attacks on their profession, this should not be difficult. Lawyers should not be punished for defending democratic institutions or participating in the legal process.

- these days democracy can feel hopeless. but grassroots groups like @everytown.bsky.social @momsdemand.bsky.social led the charge against ghost guns, the Biden Administration issued tough and life-saving regulations, and today the court affirmed it. progress is achievable when we engage.
- this is a major win for the gun safety movement and a tough blow to those who profit off the manufacturing of ghost guns, responsible for deadly shootings across the country.
