No. Wrong. Fail. Zero points. She simply does not understand our system of government, laws, the principles underlying our democracy or the reasons for our success as a nation. She's an idiot and a menace and I'd focus on the menace part and stopping/resisting her first.

WOW. Federal judge orders the release of Kseniia Petrova, the Russian researcher detained by ICE for months and recently charged for allegedly smuggling frog embryos into the United States.

The Trump administration is set to expand social media vetting of visa applicants. The policy has done little for national security, says @jameeljaffer.bsky.social, but "it is very effective at chilling free speech."

When you hear Trump regime officials and GOP members of Congress slam the rulings of "unelected judges," please understand that is their way of saying they reject the US Constitution and want Trump as King.

He never stopped. He laughed at Trump and continued the killing, because Trump is an international joke and his foreign policy team is filled with bumbling, weak, appeasing incompetents.

Targeting a private educational institute because it won’t conform its governance and curriculum to what the state wants is…communist.

For those of you who knew Victoria Brownworth on Twitter, she passed away from cancer yesterday. She was a fearless journalist who reported on AIDS in the 80s (when Reagan was ignoring it), lifted up the LGBTQ community, & rooted out corruption. Her wife, Maddy Gold, died of cancer in 2022.

The law couldn’t be clearer. I gave him weeks to review the language. I read it out loud to him for good measure. He still refused to say the simple truth: it is illegal for the president to weaponize the IRS against his political enemies.

Phang: It’s time for federal judges to acknowledge that they have lifetime appointments—and that should give them the courage to uphold the rule of law, but also to put some damn teeth into the court orders they’re issuing. it’s time that we start seeing action from the judiciary. Grow some balls

Casar: What we discovered last night, which is really breaking news, is that they’re not just robbing Medicaid—it turns out they’re also planning to rob Medicare of nearly half a billion dollars if they pass this bill.

The fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. It may not be the battle we wanted, but it is the one we face. The state of our democracy and the future of our country depends on our willingness to take risks, ignore the naysayers, weather setbacks and fight fiercely for democracy.

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

This is the most corrupt AND incompetent administration in our nation's history. It was on flagrant display during the hearings and every single day since they took office and were confirmed. They've done so much damage - we aren't even sure it's reparable - and it's only been 4 months.

This is real life, y’all. These aren’t “democratic talking points”—this is a real mother and real babies at risk of going hungry, all because Republicans want to be greedy. Somebody please tell me how you can feed a growing family of 6 on $15 per day… you can’t.

My Saturday PSA: Joe Biden isn’t the president anymore. Instead, we’ve got a mentally deranged and ethically compromised old man with the nuclear codes trespassing in the Oval Office. Stop talking about Joe Biden. Start talking about the Convicted Felon, Donald Trump.

The Trump administration is facing backlash for its acceptance of white South African “refugees” into the U.S. while actual displaced groups facing violence and persecution have been locked out of the country and stranded.
