Ted Lieu plays the ProPublica audio of crying children in detention centers on the House floor. Karen Handel, who was presiding over the floor, repeatedly tries to stop Lieu. Lieu responds: "Why are we hiding this from the American people?" (via CSPAN)

To 45, The Law is not a constraint but an inconvenience. All he appears to care about are headlines as a strongman. nyti.ms/2Guornn

A powerful story about a Judge for all Seasons — one who abided by the limits of his role but knew when and how to speak moral truth to legal power even while bowing to those limits 👇🏼 teapawt.net/stevenmazie/status/979…
Judge Stephen Reinhardt, a force for justice on the 9th circuit for decades, died today at 87. Here's my story on his rebuke to the Trump adm for deporting a 43-year-old Hawaii coffee farmer & family man who came to America illegally at the age of 15 economist.com/blogs/democrac…

An American president does not lead the Free World by congratulating dictators on winning sham elections. And by doing so with Vladimir Putin, President Trump insulted every Russian citizen who was denied the right to vote in a free and fair election. mccain.senate.gov/public/ind…

Trump is neither subtle nor intelligent. His dishonest tweets are now overtly laying the groundwork for Mueller's firing. And this effort began the moment he found out the questions Mueller plans to ask him at a future interview. Trump's guilt could not be more painfully obvious. teapawt.net/realDonaldTrump/status…
Why does the Mueller team have 13 hardened Democrats, some big Crooked Hillary supporters, and Zero Republicans? Another Dem recently added...does anyone think this is fair? And yet, there is NO COLLUSION!

Trump’s unwillingness to criticize Putin makes you wonder what hold the Kremlin has over him; the Steele dossier looks more credible all the time. My @PostOpinions column: wapo.st/2FFWhpf

Wrong again, Mr. President. It confirms the FBI acted appropriately and that Russian agents approached two of your advisors, and informed your campaign that Russia was prepared to help you by disseminating stolen Clinton emails. teapawt.net/realdonaldtrump/status…
The Democrat memo response on government surveillance abuses is a total political and legal BUST. Just confirms all of the terrible things that were done. SO ILLEGAL!

Marjory Stoneman Douglas, after whom the Parkland School was named, was a writer, a champion of women’s rights and of the Everglades, helping it become a national treasure. Born April 7, 1890, she lived to the age of 108. Florida should make April 7 Marjory Stoneman Douglas Day.

I believe that in everything we do, we are here to help people. We are here to put others first, to live a day in their shoes, to understand what their life is like and try to make it better. Help me spread the word and bring more people to our fight. teapawt.net/60minutes/status/96285…

Wise words from @madeleine Albright 👇 teapawt.net/madeleine/status/95120… – at Washington, DC
Putin’s assault on democracy is undeniably real. I hope every American will read the Senate Foreign Relation Committee’s #RussiaReport and demand that our government take it seriously. We must protect our institutions and support our allies as they battle Russian interference. teapawt.net/senatorcardin/status/9…

We kept asking him and he was adamant there were NO meetings. You can only ask so many times. Many of us really believed that he meant it and that he was deeply offended when political hack intelligence officers pointed out that there WERE many meetings. teapawt.net/renato_mariotti/status…
