We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

He’s weakening our country. He’s weakening our economy. He’s weakening our alliances. He’s weakening the free world. He’s weakening our influence around the world. And Putin keeps smiling every single day.

If you think your rights won't be violated by the Trump regime because you're not "ethnic" like Kilmar Abrego Garcia, remember that Trump ordered his attorney general to go after Jack Smith.

The most notable thing about this clip from the president's address to the governors is the way Maine Gov. Janet Mills stood up to Trump. And the second most notable thing is the absolute stone-faced silence from the other governors in the room. www.c-span.org/clip/white-h...

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Thanks to George Conway for posting Caroline Kennedy's letter so everyone is informed about RFK Jr. Please repost far and wide.

Message sent to my Senators: Doctors are sounding the alarm on RFK Jr.'s nomination. Do you trust RFK Jr. as HHS secretary? Have the republican standards dropped so low that you feel you have to confirm this idiot? Is the goal to destroy the foundation of this country? What the hell is the matter!

Trump fired 17 Inspector Generals. The purpose of Inspectors General is to serve as watchdogs, investigating and preparing reports on fraud, waste, and mismanagement by the Executive Branch. Congress relies on these reports to help them do their job and ensure the rule of law is respected. 👹

I just contacted my senators and urged them to oppose Pete Hegseth's nomination to lead the Defense Department. Trump's pick would undermine our national security. app.sosha.ai/s/uP1tCVGi

Our economy is thirsty for workers. But Trump is thirsty for power, and he holds it with his hate campaign against immigrants. His deportations are going to tank the economy, and then he'll lie about why it tanked.

In holding that anyone born in the U.S. is automatically a citizen, race was the central issue — asTrump and his advisers must know. This makes Trump’s order an act of performative racism that tells us what kind of U.S.-born Americans he wants to exclude. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

In my latest @npr.org story, officials and data users warn that the reliability of the U.S. government statistics used to track the country’s economy and population is under threat because of budget concerns. That's before any new funding cuts by President Trump and Congress.

Yesterday, House Republicans wrote to Trump urging him to terminate the IRS's new free tax filing program. They've also been trying to strip the IRS of its funding. The GOP wants to make it harder for you to do your taxes while making it easier for the rich to dodge theirs.

The most important thing to keep in mind when seeing all of the opinion pieces on the president pardoning his son is that Donald Trump is assembling the most extreme and dangerous administration in our nation’s history and we really should be focusing our attention on that.
