You don't "not recall" telling DOJ lawyers to say "fuck you" to court orders. You either remember saying it, or you remember that you definitely didn't say it. Emil Bove saying he doesn't recall means he definitely said it, and there's a roomful of people that can testify to it.

@wilderness.org doing good work with this map. Really puts the Senate’s public lands fire sale in perspective. Western conservationists must call their Senators. #OurPublicLands #ForestService

This is an important thread. Please read and contact your elected representatives to let them know of your displeasure. This administration is corrupt and willfully violating court orders, trying to destroy the checks and balances of our constitution. Don't let them get away with it.

Trump’s brand has become so politically poisonous that the Republican Mayor of Omaha lost her race for a fourth term, simply because she had endorsed him in 2024. 100 days in and the voters have already had enough.

DeLAURO: Are you planning to break the law by impounding appropriated funds? RFK Jr: If you appropriate the funds, I'm going to spend them D: We have! You're cutting the NIH by $18b. Congress appropriated those funds. How can you justify cutting billions from the biomedical research budget?

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

When Kseniia Petrova moved from Russia to join a lab at Harvard Medical School, it felt like a dream. Now she’s been held for three months in an ICE facility in Louisiana.

A reminder: Both sheriffs and local police have the right to refuse ICE detainers. These requests are voluntary and not legally enforceable under federal law. Across the country, many sheriffs and police departments choose not to cooperate and that choice is fully within their legal rights.

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

There’s one way you go from the creator of a “hostile and political act” to a “terrific, good guy” in mere hours: you get on your knees and crawl.

Latest in @theatlantic.com . Trump's plan is a no win for Ukraine. Whether Ukraine agrees or not, Trump will end sanctions on Russia and get back to business with Putin. Can we finally hear the end of the arguments that Trump is anything but Russia's ally? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

“It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help. If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite." -Pope Francis

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.
