What if the President orders Seal Team Six to assassinate all the congresspeople who were likely to vote for impeachment. Still gotta impeach him first?

Alito says Presidents need immunity so they *won’t* try to stay in office, for fear of charges when they leave. Crazy enough. But Trump’s argument is that Presidents have actually always had immunity—and he tried to stay in office anyway. Now imagine if SCOTUS rubber stamps it.

In the big room upstairs with Governor Wes Moore, my Maryland Legal Aid colleagues & our stellar partners to sign historic expansions in housing access, renter protections & children’s rights. More wins coming all spring.

If you heard about the Supreme Court homelessness case this week & just want sensible, humane solutions, here’s one: give what you can to the heroes at Maryland Legal Aid who prevent eviction & lost income in the first place. We’d really appreciate it.

In 2022, the Ed Board wrote a thoughtful, humane piece about migrants bussed from Texas, telling DC to “step up,” “spend its own money,” & provide “shelter.” But when it’s run of the mill dirty poors sullying the Sunday walk to sweetgreen (& w/out the Abbott foil), we get this.

I represent poor folks at their toughest moments. Evicted, laid off, diagnosed. Biden’s made their lives a little better. Cheaper meds, more housing, lower crime. Trump made it worse. Billionaire tax cuts, tried to gut healthcare. So that’s the choice. Not for me. For them.

Nice SCOTUS win in Muldrow. Title VII doesn't require 'significant' harm from a discriminatory employment change, cuz that's not in the text.

Now square it w/ Brnovich, which added heightened, nowhere-in-text factors to prove vote discrimination under the VRA. TLDR you can't.

Yes I watch SNL on Sunday mornings (cringe), yes Ryan Gosling does the planned break in nearly every skit to get extra laughs, yes I am jealous.

This news may fly under the radar, because panic sells. But it is genuinely amazing news that media outlets should be shouting from the rooftops.

Crime in Baltimore has been *the* issue my entire life. And the number 1 solution has been to “bring accountability.”

What people need is help. They don’t need jail. They need support.

Addiction. Poverty. And the list goes on. People need support, not to be arrested.

We're not living in some hypothetical, day-after-Dobbs world, where 'leaving it to the states' means slowly finding out what they'll do. They have legislated. They have imposed bans, some at six weeks, some with no exceptions.

Donald Trump has now *endorsed those bans.* Period.

Donald Trump today:

* Endorses Florida's six-week abortion ban.
* Promises more tax cuts for billionaires.
* Doubles down on staring at eclipses, probably.
