There is no substantive difference between a government shutdown and what Republicans are already doing and intend to do in the future. The only thing that’s changed is that the GOP can now claim to have bipartisan assent for their wave of mutilation.

I joined Ali Velshi last night on MSNBC’s The Eleventh Hour to discuss the Chief Justice’s rebuke of the President. I explained that America is in a constitutional crisis when, rather than faithfully executing the laws, the President of the United States is defying the laws.

The idea of filing inevitably doomed articles of impeachment against Chief Judge Boasberg of DC is worse than absurd. It’s a way of saying you don’t respect the rule of law, don’t believe in checks and balances, and don’t understand — or have utter contempt for — the United States Constitution.

It's heartening that today the leaders of the two major parties in Germany are unequivocally anti-Nazi and anti-fascist. It's horrifying that today the president and vice-president of the United States of America are not.

We just sued DOGE. Under FACA, DOGE is required to comply with transparency, ethics, records retention and equal representation. DOGE is currently violating these requirements. So, DOGE has two choices: follow FACA requirements or shut down.

For the rest of my life I will never understand how MAGA is so furious about Dr. Fauci, who saved many lives, being pardoned by President Biden, but they're thrilled about January 6th thugs, who beat cops with flagpoles, being pardoned by trump.
