So to sum up the Wisconsin arrest issue: ICE didn't have a juridical warrant. They only had an administrative warrant. The DOJ has not convened a grand jury to indict the judge. They only got a criminal complaint before a magistrate judge. This is ridiculous.

We believe in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, separation of powers, and checks and balances. The U.S. was founded in opposition to monarchy. We fought for democracy over dictatorship. What the Trump regime is doing is the antithesis of the values this nation was founded upon.

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows: An immigration or administrative warrant is not a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

The circle of top advisers in Pete Hegseth’s orbit has shrunk recently to little more than his wife, lawyer, and two lower-level officials—leaving the Pentagon’s lead office without longtime expertise or clear direction. This had led to fears about dangerous slip-ups, such as weapons program delays.

No, @slotkin.senate.gov — Dems shouldn’t stop using the term “oligarchy”. They should make it a household term. And they should be wary of anyone telling them otherwise. People know what it means. And if they don’t, tell them. That’s what leaders do.

Yesterday, a federal judge hit pause on an Anti-Voter Executive Order. She wrote that a president “cannot make new law or devise new authority for himself—by executive order or otherwise. He may only wield those powers granted to him by Congress or by the Constitution.” Full statement bit.ly/3EOwtGS

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

I was a social security recipient from the age of 12 through 18. That’s not some weird thing or corruption. It’s called survivors’ benefits. You don’t have to know this. You’re blessed if you don’t. But if you’re going to speak publicly abt the program you need to know this.

This is an absolute lie from Rep. Rob Wittman about voter suppression in the SAVE Act. There are already laws in place to keep non-citizens from voting. This is a Trojan horse to take away our voting rights. Call Rob Wittman & John McGuire immediately and tell them: NO to the SAVE Act.

Nostalgia for mid-20th century manufacturing jobs is really nostalgia for strong unions and the wages/benefits/conditions they got, yes. And 1950s life wasn’t actually that good, especially if you weren’t a white man. But also, every other industrialized economy was trashed. Not happening again.
