I had no idea Siri could be such a wiseass, but here’s her (and my) last reminder for DC Bar members to vote for Diane Seltzer (and not Brad Bondi) before the end of the evening on Wednesday, June 4. Maybe I should change the settings on my iPhone???

I am not a lawyer so I don’t know what it would take to use the 25th amendment, but as a psychologist, I could put together one heck of a report of factual evidence that would indicate this person does not have the mental clarity to have a job where he wasn’t closely supervised.

Oh ffs. I hate this man. Trump said Wednesday he would look at pardoning the men convicted in a scheme to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, and swiped at the legitimacy of the case, which was brought during the first Trump administration. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Trump wants us to lose faith in the justice system by undermining it with pardons, even while denying others due process. But wrong is still wrong, and we must continue to fight him.

Trump seems to have entered into a new and wilder stage of authoritarian neofascism. No holds barred. Nothing out of bounds. But tyrants cannot succeed where people refuse to submit to them. And we will not submit. https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/donald-trump-and-fascism

It is completely obvious that RFK Jr., Makary, Prasad, and Bhattacharya plan to take away as many vaccines as possible from Americans. Republicans approve of this. You may be tempted to ask why, but if you don’t understand it, it’s probably because you are not an egomaniacal sociopath.

"In particular, one Trump adviser recently told Hegseth that he did not think Caldwell – or any of the fired aides – had leaked anything, and that he suspected the investigation had been used to get rid of aides involved in the infighting with his first chief of staff, Joe Kasper."

🦋 King Charles III is the first monarch since 1957 to preside over an opening of Canadian parliament; the speech is usually given by the governor general “Canada has continued to set an example to the world in her conduct and values, as a force for good. The True North is indeed strong and free" 🦋

The Trump administration claims to be “ending the weaponization of government," but behind Trump's Orwellian day one executive order is a blueprint for turning the DOJ into his own personal political weapon. We’ve seen it used against judges and now, it’s being aimed at a sitting member of Congress.

If there are any f*cking lessons learned, the media better start demanding real transparency on Donald Trump’s health, unless they honestly believe he’s 6’3”, 224 pounds, and passed his cognitive tests with flying colors. He’s not just getting a pass; it’s a cover-up. And everyone sees it.

“Habeas corpus is the legal principle that requires the government to provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people. If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens, and hold them indefinitely for no reason.”
