When do we start winning?

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

Whatever you do, don’t share this gif of poor Taco being laughed at by his daddy Vladdy.

Phang: If you have to resort to deceit to get something done, that tells me what you’re doing is wrong. What’s happening is a dup-and-scoop: people are being duped into going to court, their cases get dismissed, and then they’re scooped up by ICE and deported under expedited removal.

"Let cash registers ring!"

Getting ready for another week of fighting for democracy in court.

We will now raise our flags, beginning in ET and continuing across the country at noon, from half-staff to full-staff. This honors those we’ve lost in service and symbolizes our nation’s resolve to carry on the fight for freedom.

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the inevitable defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy.

The Dishonorable Marco Rubio brought The Addams Family's Thing to the hearing.

A heated exchange between Van Hollen and Rubio: "Writing an op ed to the Tufts newspaper is disrupting the foreign policy of the US? That's pathetic, Mr. Secretary."

Is it too much to ask for an IRS Commissioner who understands the law?

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

Kristi Noem incorrectly defined habeas corpus as the president’s right to deport people. Huh? That’s… not even close.

DURBIN: How can we give hope to people across the country who are suffering from so many diseases when our government is cutting back on that research? RFK Jr: I do not know about any cuts to ALS research D: I just read them to you! R: I didn't know about them until you told me about them

Crockett: That’s why they hired everybody from Fox because all they’re trying to do is put on a show.. I want us to refocus our attention on the American people and stop demonizing every person that ends up in ICE custody… *Applause* Van Drew: *bangs gavel*

Imagine being this small, weak, fragile and unfocused on things that are relevant to voters; even your own voters.

yes. this.

Prom time

When shooting your dog in the face isn’t the worst thing you ever did.

A thing I think is kind of messed up is that we’ve stopped considering ‘being evil’ to be a moral failing in a person

Can we just fix the airports and work on planes crashing?

arguing against birthright citizenship in front of the supreme court while at the same time pitching a netflix show where immigrants compete for citizenship is such a perfect microcosm of america right now that it feels fake

🤢

It's official. I filed a Senate Resolution of Disapproval. RFK is CLEARLY in violation of his constitutional oath. He must resign.

Murphy: "There's no guarantee that we are gonna have a free and fair election in 2026. He's trying to rig our democracy, to destroy dissent, to cripple the opposition, so that even if his approval ratings are in the 30s next year, there isn't the ability for his opposition to muster a real campaign"

The Trump administration cut federal funding for a research project at Cornell University aimed at developing a heart pump designed for babies and children with congenital heart defects bringing the effort to a halt.

Deportation for honking his horn at an undercover ICE officer

McGovern: You guys make Marie Antoinette look down to earth. Trump’s cabinet is like an episode of the lifestyles of the rich and famous. These people are totally clueless. They don’t shop for their own groceries. They don’t buy their own food.

Look at the Trump official’s tie.

The Afrikaner stunt is the kind of thing that has backfired so far -- it creates legal arguments for other refugees about animus. But holy hell he's not hiding the white sheets.

Both exactly right. Total Trump surrender of his own boneheaded tariff disaster. The US is a global embarrassment.

If you are a member of the DC Bar, please watch this video and VOTE for Diane Seltzer for DC Bar president. If you are not a member, please share with others who are.

Odd that those criticizing @gtconway.bsky.social for endorsing Diane Seltzer because he isn't a member of the DC Bar, ignore the fact that I have as well and I am a member. Vote Diane Seltzer for DC Bar president.

Fired a black person who was qualified, hired a white person with no qualifications whatsoever. The Trump administration in a nutshell bsky.app/profile/axio...

So many layers of corruption.

There is no plan. There is no 3D chess. The president has a toddler’s understanding of the economy and will continue to just do things (and then undo them, and then do them again).

The fact that the attorney general's last job before this one was lobbying for the Qataris is a little on the nose.

as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

I know Great Barrington well and it is extremely hard to imagine any scenario on this earth in this small town that would require cops to roll out like they're going to war.

It’s really striking how irregular the bands of mostly men conducting federal immigration enforcement are. They seem to have no particular uniform, they wear a variety of different agency initials on their tactical vests, or none at all, they’re inconsistent about displaying a badge…

Our trade deal so far is no tariffs on Rolls Royces and Bentleys and our refugee policy is white South Africans only.
