🚨And locally there are municipal elections in Pinellas County, Florida on March 11, 2025. The deadline to register to vote for that election is Feb. 10, 2025 which is in FOUR DAYS. 🗳️ www.votepinellas.gov/Election-Inf...

Justice Jackson: “When Congress tells us why it has included certain language in a statute, the limited role of the courts in our democratic system of government—as interpreters, not lawmakers—demands that we give effect to the will of the people.” #tariffs

Yet another failed redacted allegation: "Epstein also instructed one or more Epstein Enterprise participant-witnesses to destroy evidence relevant to ongoing court proceedings involving Defendants’ criminal sex trafficking and abuse conduct." #doj #epstein files 👀⚖️‼️

Since February 15th is coming up, a friendly reminder that mouthy women get stuff done even way back in the day: constitutioncenter.org/blog/on-this... #belva #lockwood #women #lawyers ⚖️♀️

On this day, women first allowed to argue Supreme Court cases

On February 15, 1879, President Rutherford B. Hayes signed a new law that would admit women as members of the Supreme Court bar and allow them to submit and argue cases at the high court.

Fact check. True ☑️⚖️👇🏾

Following an illegal order is still illegal. ⚖️

It was always a lie that the focus would be deporting the worst of the worst. To get Dreamer/DACA status basically meant you were a Girl Scout or Boy Scout. And it's silly because many of these people got educated here since 2012 and now we're losing that talent and skill. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Mother Jones @motherjones.com

Dreamers were once obvious candidates for a path to citizenship. Now, they’re getting picked up, detained, and set for potential deportation.

Then they came for the Dreamers

Immigrants brought here as children were told they wouldn’t be deported. Now, they’re being targeted anyway.

good grief 🫤

The Brits are savage 🔥

As a few folks have said, having the White House say that Trump is in a private event is a big admission under Trump v US which says official acts are immune & unofficial private acts ARE NOT IMMUNE. ⚖️🧐

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator. In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

Marks, an architect of Operation Warp Speed, warned that a recent measles outbreak shows how confidence in science and public health is being “undermined.”
