The Republican Immigration Playbook:

BLOCK a bipartisan border bill.
PASS constitutionally dubious state laws.
UNDERMINE federal law enforcement.
VILIFY migrants.

We’ve confirmed three more judges this week, bringing our total lifetime judicial confirmations under President Biden to 193.

They’re diverse.
They’re highly qualified.
They’re lifelong arbiters of justice.

A must-read on Senate Republicans’ baseless smear campaign against Adeel Mangi.

“Senators’ insinuations that Adeel Mangi supports Islamic terrorism, along with attacks on his pro bono work, have no place in a society committed to justice and equality.”

Forced arbitration denies justice to millions of Americans. That can’t stand, as we heard in our hearing today.

End forced arbitration.

We should add Adeel Mangi to that list.

It’s no exaggeration: The Republican crusade against abortion is rolling back women’s rights to a time before women could even vote.

The Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs is a direct cause.

More than 99% of consumers have no clue that they’re subject to forced arbitration.

Forced arbitration clauses deny you your day in court, and it has real harms.

Hear from three victims now.

The Seventh Amendment guarantees the right to a jury trial, but that right is an empty promise for millions of Americans.

Forced arbitration clauses buried in fine print deny them their day in court.

We’re looking at the issue now. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

The attacks hurled at Mr. Adeel Mangi from Senate Republicans are baseless and unfounded.

Just now, 125+ civil and human rights organizations denounced these anti-Muslim attacks and called for his confirmation.

Adeel Mangi will be a remarkable federal appellate judge.
