I met with Rachel Cohen and thanked her for standing up for what’s right. When her firm backed Trump’s agenda, she resigned and organized over 1,500 lawyers to defend democracy.

At the House Education & Workforce hearing on antisemitism, I questioned Professor David Cole, a lifelong defender of free speech. He rightly called out House Republicans’ McCarthy-style attacks on dissent—especially targeting pro-Palestine voices and non-citizens.
