Never before in the history of this nation has such a large redistribution of income been directed upward, for no reason at all. It comes at a time of near-record inequalities of income and wealth. This budget bill is a nightmare.

This should be bigger story. Connect the dots… 📌 Rep Khanna asked Defense Sec Hegseth if the Pentagon would obey a federal court order. Hegseth refused to answer. 📌 DOJ whistleblower says officials told staff to ignore judges and deport people anyway. There’s a coordinated plan to defy the courts

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

Good for now, but just wait until the MAGA cabal on the U.S. Supreme Court cede judicial authority to the President by limiting the injunctive relief powers of federal courts.

ICYMI — Some harsh self-criticism here: “Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective.” (He was talking about Obama 😬)

Thanks for sharing this. We can and should denounce bad actions and spend less time demonizing the flawed and misguided humans that engage in those actions.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but this analogy of “Lady Liberty’ held captive, is exactly how I feel about this presidency & administration and what their attempting to do with our rights and freedoms… The New Yorker captured the feelings perfectly… One word, UNACCEPTABLE!

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Republicans are going to force 7.4 million Americans into hunger so billionaires can continue to write off the full cost of their private jets and yachts on their taxes. 8 of the 10 states hardest hit will be Republican states. Republicans call this "America First."

I had no idea Siri could be such a wiseass, but here’s her (and my) last reminder for DC Bar members to vote for Diane Seltzer (and not Brad Bondi) before the end of the evening on Wednesday, June 4. Maybe I should change the settings on my iPhone???

A Nazi salute isn't created by how you hold your hand at the end, it is created by how you get there, with a vigorous thrust, not a gentle wave. This is why Musk is using photos instead of videos to obfuscate.

Trump reduced the tariffs on China in exchange for nothing. He paused the tariffs on Canada & Mexico in exchange for nothing. He postponed tariffs on EU in exchange for nothing. He threatened Russia with sanctions if they didn’t sign ceasefire & did nothing. Art of the Deal.

If the GOP Tax Scheme is so beautiful, then why are they voting on it in the wee hours of the morning? Maybe because it’s irredeemably ugly and cruel.

Jordan, a law school grad who never took the bar exam or practiced law, thinks it’s ok for Congress to shoot from the hip when meddling with citizen access to courts to vindicate their rights and the courts’ use of temporary orders to preserve the status quo until issues are fully litigated.
