Five things to remember about war:

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

To be clear, this is what an insurrection looks like:

Well done, Terry Moran. History will remember him well.

Trump wants to deliberately escalate tensions. Don’t fall into his trap. Please do not give him what he wants. We cannot be silent in the face of Trump’s dictatorial moves. But we must not succumb to violence. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/a-time-for-non-violent-civil-disobedience

EXCLUSIVE: We dug up a video of Donald Trump trashing Qatar in 2017 calling them “funders of terrorism.” I’m sure he would hate if this clip changed their mind to give him a $400 million plane - so definitely don’t repost it.

Tear off the masks when they show up. Take their photos. Get them on video. Expose them. Out them. Name them. They need to be made into pariahs where decent people gather. We cannot allow them to terrorize us. Eyes open. Phones on.

Trump was never serious about a real negotiation to end Russia’s war in Ukraine. Now Vance says they’ll “walk away” if Ukraine doesn’t accept terms that serve Moscow’s interests. Bullying is not negotiating. Nor is pretending to be a negotiator when you’re just there to serve Putin. Appalling.

Van Hollen: "This case is not only about one man, as important as that is. It is about protecting fundamental freedoms and the fundamental principle in the Constitution for due process that protects everyone who resides in America."

Merely mentioning this is an outrageous abuse of power. Our president is a convicted criminal and a mob boss wannabe. He holds the office unconstitutionally and must be removed.

🚨Attention Members of the DC Bar🚨 Ballots went out today for key positions in the DC bar. Please vote for: Diane Seltzer for President Amanda Molina for Treasurer Note: Seltzer is running against Pam Bondi's brother. Get your ballot and vote ASAP.

See how this works?

Trump could make one call and Garcia would be on his way back to America, where he belongs. Trump's refusal to bring Garcia back as the courts ordered, warrants his immediate removal from office.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Under the Trump budget plan just passed by Congress, a staggering 70% of House Republicans would personally financially benefit from extending major tax loopholes. More money for them, paid for by cuts to YOUR benefits.

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

The only thing being liberated today is money from the bank accounts of hard-working Americans.

You cannot have a functioning democracy when one party lets an unelected parliamentarian block raising the living wage for 50M Americans, while the other party tramples the parliamentarian to pass $4.5T in tax cuts for 800 billionaires. That's how you affirm oligarchy. Yet that's where we are.

Midterms can’t come soon enough.

Why is it okay for Musk to commit felony bribery and election fraud but it’s not okay to give people water who are waiting for many hours in long lines to vote as a direct result of GOP voter suppression laws?

It may be breaking, but @booker.senate.gov's voice has never been more powerful. Thank you, my friend, for speaking out for freedom, justice, and the country we love.

X is not worth 33 billion. He basically just paid himself $33B from another company, presumably to pay off his debts from the initial buy because he knows he'll never be able to raise the capital from X itself. He is his own ponzi scheme.

Top White House officials used disappearing messages on Signal for top-secret national security discussions—violating federal law & risking our security. Even worse? A participant was in Moscow. Congress must investigate. This betrayal cannot stand . adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-signal...

Maybe we shouldn't have deleted those Navajo Code Talkers from the Defense Department after all.

I’m old enough to remember when Secretary Hegseth tried to publicly mock Judge Reyes—suggesting that she didn’t know what she was doing when it comes to protecting our national security. It was … two days ago.

Hey guys remember the Hillary Clinton email server? Seems kinda, small today, doesn’t it?

Pete Hegseth never should have been tapped for this job. It's too important. He should be fired immediately.

When you send innocent people to a foreign gulag, you are not fighting terror. You are practicing it.

America broke itself just because it couldn't stand women and people of color finally getting a small piece of the pie. Alas. Same as it ever was. White supremacy and greed. Dangerous, wild, self-destructive drugs.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

War sucks.

Merkley: "The best time to take on a tyrant is as early as possible. And this is the moment."

Rep. John Larson (D-CT) in today’s Ways and Means Committee hearing. This is what we want! Do you hear us Democrats? No more of your DC decorum. Fight!

It’s totally unacceptable, Elon Musk is giving Trump political operation ANOTHER $100 million as he giggles with a chain saw and cuts staff, veterans, and needed services. This is NOT what our founding fathers envisioned, an oligarchy in all but name.

"If hero means a lawyer who courageously stands up for their oaths and commitment to the rule of law in this era then, yes, we have many heroes among us." -- This Fordham U. law professor and past federal prosecutor in NY (2001-17)
