For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.

In normal times, DOJ wins most of its cases because it has the resources to ensure that presidential actions are lawful. But under Trump, the Department is run by a sycophantic election denying enabler. The result is DOJ's credibility with judges is in tatters and it is losing case after case.

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

The Trump administration is threatening to arrest Congress members who were performing their oversight duties. Targeting elected officials for opposing the president's agenda is straight out of authoritarian playbooks. We won't allow Trump and DHS to intimidate us into submission.

AOC: This administration — and Noem — spits on the American flag every time they engage in that nonsense. So I don’t want to hear anything about “America First.” These people, and this administration, are putting America last by acting like their allegiance is to a man instead of the Constitution.

Trump’s entire brand is built on a projection of strength, but it’s a facade. He is weak, impulsive, insecure and easily manipulated. Putin knows it. Xi knows it. The entire free world knows it. But because the GOP has decided to fall for his pantomime dictator act he is an actual threat.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

Before folks overreact to headlines about the judge’s ruling in the Khalil case, please note that (1) it was an immigration judge (IJ), not a federal district court; and (2) the IJ had no power to consider Khalil’s constitutional objections. This particular decision was a fait accompli.
