#Bove a #DOJ senior official told staff to "ignore court orders" & deport migrants anyway. That’s not just contempt of court. It’s obstruction. Democrats should immediately tee up an investigation b4 even considering starting his confirmation hearings. Rule of law is not optional. Do something!

Why do these guys look like villains out of central casting? Emil #Bove, now a nominee to the federal bench, proposed defying court orders, former #DOJ colleague says. The account from a former DOJ lawyer comes as Bove is scheduled to face questions from the Sen. Judiciary Committee on Wed. #Resist

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

@cnn.com #ErinBurnett #ClarissaWard This has got to be the biggest military failure in history by #tRump and #PeteHegseth on #Iran. Now #tRump is trying to further cover up support of #Genocide and #EthnicCleansing with regime change. Now is the time for #Impeachment over unconstitutional Iran war.

“Bombing for peace is like fucking for chastity.” - a bumper sticker I had in high school

Elie Mystal: Democrats should form a shadow government like de Gaulle did during Nazi occupation. Democratic leaders need to act like we are war--because we are. Elie Mystal in my interview had some great ideas for lessons for Dems. My new article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/elie-mysta...

"We 100% need a Democratic press secretary who is known and responds daily to the lies of Trump’s Baghdad Barbie." Spot on from @deanobeidallah.bsky.social in conversation with @elienyc.bsky.social. open.substack.com/pub/deanobei...

open.substack.com/pub/deanobei... Hey Democtats: if you want us to contribute more $ you need to start doing something meaningful in the face of encroaching fascism. Here's a suggestion from Elie Mystal:

“In about two weeks, l'll be releasing my big, beautiful healthcare plan, my taxes, the Epstein list — or we'll be bombing Iran." - Grandpa Grifter-Rico

We are witnessing an epidemic of the abuse of the power of the federal government, including the criminal system, to target and intimidate Democrats and their supporters. Trump will escalate this until people stand up to him. It is time we all have the courage to peacefully stand up and say enough!

The Kremlin's ongoing cognitive warfare effort aimed at preventing future Western military assistance to Ukraine is rooted in fear and the acknowledgment that Russia's only real hope in defeating Ukraine is by isolating Ukraine from its allies. isw.pub/UkrWar052625

Might be a good idea to look back at how Netanyahu tried to weaken the judiciary in Israel, and was met with mass protests. Much of Trump's rhetoric about the US courts matches his friend Bibi's. www.bbc.com/news/world-m...

Stop saying “democrats are failing” because that includes AOC, Frost, Crockett, Booker etc - and they’re NOT failing. Name the people failing you, and don’t let them drag the whole party down with them.

Union members make 18% more on average than their non-union counterparts and are 60% more likely to have health benefits and almost twice as likely to have retirement benefits. Unions can also provide you job security if the boss fires you for no reason -- or no good reason. #UnionsForAll

MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING I SHOULD BE POPE

The most concerning part about the DOGE / NLRB story is that the whistleblower claims a login attempt using VALID DOGE credentials was made from Russia shortly after DOGE started moving data.

The New York Times declares dignity, professionalism, and courage in law firms “nearly impossible.” I suggest this framing exposes more about legacy media’s own problems than it does about the legal profession.

"President Trump, during your first term, you told 30,573 lies. Which one is your favorite?" "I don't lie." "That one is my favorite, too."
