The People’s House has seen few days as glorious as this. Lost it when Her Honor said “My family went from segregation to the Supreme Court in one generation” and quoted Maya Angelou: “I am the dream and hope of the slave.” Looking around, I wasn’t alone.
Happy KBJ Day.

One of the greatest privileges of my life was to serve the American people as Assoc Atty Gen of the US, not least bc of the amazingly courageous DOJ career attorneys who always put the independence and integrity of the US Justice Dept first.
Fourth prosecutor withdraws from the Roger Stone case. This is an extraordinary development about the Justice Department and a marker about justice in America.

Folks in Congress each take an oath to preserve, protect and defend our democracy. So if you’re one of those privileged with the honor of representing the American people and you’re not calling BS on this naked attempt to cling to power, find another line of work.
Everyone depends on the USPS. Seniors for their Social Security, veterans for their prescriptions, small businesses trying to keep their doors open. They can't be collateral damage for an administration more concerned with suppressing the vote than suppressing a virus.

Mr. Floyd is the kind of credible, relatable witness I always dreamed of having in my case whenever I was in trial. And his explanation about cash? Exactly what my late father—born in 1940s rural Georgia—taught me.
DA Fani Willis' dad Mr. Floyd having to explain that keeping cash is a "Black thing" is peak Black History Month. This was a really effective moment bolstering Fani's explanation.

Few in public life have served with more commitment, more perseverance, more authenticity or more courage than Rep Elijah Cummings. His loss may be felt most acutely in Maryland, but it reverberates in every heart that loves fairness and seeks justice.
We lost a giant today. Congressman Elijah Cummings was a fearless leader, a protector of democracy, and a fighter for the people of Maryland. Our world is dimmer without him in it.
