Seems to me that the Executive v. Judicial will need Supreme Court Justices to weigh in. ASAP.

Trump 2.0 reminds me of Little League. How many legal comeuppances have to occur before he forfeits the presidency? (In Little League, we called it the Mercy Rule.)

If we are deporting all men who have extremist tattoos without hearings, this dude would be in El Salvador by now.

Trump suffered narcissistic injury today, at a level he hadn't since the election. Putin humiliated him, made jokes on air, kept him waiting, and waiting. Trump didn't meet press after - WH made a false feeble statement. Putin showed him who's boss. There's some kind of Kompromat there. HAS to be.

The Constitution makes it motherfucking abundantly clear that presidential pardon power is absolute and there is no fucking magical unicorn provision for subsequent presidents to rescind “void” or “vacate” said pardons…

Don’t listen to what Republicans are saying, watch what they’re doing: 🚨Proposing tax increases on the middle class and tax cuts for their rich friends 🚨Cutting funding for PBS and NPR and controlling what you can and can’t read in the newspaper 🚨Absolutely nothing to lower the cost of groceries

Vance is completely wrong here. US military sales to Ukraine served as a catalyst to rebuild our production capacity for our own potential military needs. I bet you'll never hear him say the same thing about US missiles fired to defend Israel, though that did deplete short-term stocks.

Trump has surrounded himself with billionaires worth a combined $450 BILLION. His government isn’t for the people—it’s for the ultra-rich, at our expense.

Protestors skiing with signs to humiliate JD Vance is fantastic

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.

In the past, when presidents tried to trim the number of government employees, the result was not lowering the cost of the government. This is because those jobs were often given to private contractors at higher rates. So it is no coincidence that a big private contractor is running this DOGE scam.

I wrote much of what I think about this election before it happened, so I am going to put it all together here. My book, Autocracy Inc, described the network of autocrats who seek to undermine democracy, inside their countries and ours www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/725302...

So, by not providing free healthcare for all, aren’t we essentially limiting competition in the marketplace? If we don’t let poor and underprivileged people live and thrive, then we are deliberately handicapping their ability to compete for jobs, resources, etc. This is antitrust crony capitalism.

The Republicans and Democrats in Congress who voted for the Laken Riley Act, and endorsed its notions of detention and deportation without the rudiments of due process, facilitated today’s announcement of Trump concentration camps. They’d be wise not to go a single step further down that road.

People can call out immigrants and rat on them to the feds and get rewarded. If people are committing crimes, then sure. But these are law-abiding humans. Reports of some ICE agents even posing as food delivery. This is getting ridiculous. It’s terrorism. We are literally allowing it. Not OK.

I’m not a lawyer, but due process being completely arbitrary to POTUS is literally terrorism towards immigrants. This is not okay.

When politicians like Keir Starmer claim there is no money, it is always worth recalling what money actually is.

This asshole is: 1. Railing against someone who actually practices their faith as Jesus instructed, something he never does; 2. Railing against people who release criminals from jails when he released over a thousand just this week; and 3. Railing against refugees, when Jesus was one in Egypt.

Trump "saved" TikTok in the same way an arsonist "saves" a house he set on fire by throwing a glass of water on the flames.

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be. You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion. Which is more powerful?

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆

The Founding Fathers always knew a king-like tyrant would try to rule as personal dictator and use the powers of the presidency to live above the law. But they never foresaw that all branches of government would abdicate oath to be complicit or that a citizenry could get so seduced by obvious deceit

Y’all, if you’re still focused in 2025 on follower count, you’re lost. Popularity, fame - it doesn’t matter. At all. What matters is what you stand for and how you treat people. A whole lot of popular, famous ppl out there don’t treat people well or stand for shit
