House Republicans have proposed a 50% cut to the Government Accountability Office and a 12% cut to the Library of Congress in a bill to be marked-up tomorrow. This would destroy Congress's non-partisan expert agencies and blow up the Legislative branch.

Younger people will be shocked to hear this, but way back when I grew up, anytime you saw a movie where some government official stopped someone on the street and demanded to see their identification papers, that was supposed to let you know they were the bad guys.

A senator celebrating the murder of political opponents should be expelled. Not debated. Not excused. Expelled.

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

Watch as this LAPD cop takes deliberate aim at an Australian reporter, then shoots her at close range. I would fire the police chief over this. Inexcusable thuggery.

Musk's Starlink was having a hard time getting permits abroad. Then Trump slapped tariffs on basically everything we buy from overseas—and suddenly countries negotiating trade deals started giving Starlink sweet deals! Looks like textbook corruption—and we're all paying for it.

Why should we pay federal taxes when they’ve cut federal funding to our states’ agencies? Shouldn’t we be paying only state taxes now?

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants. So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House. The hypocrisy is outrageous.
