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.

The Constitution disagrees. The Emoluments Clause, part of Article I, Section 9, Clause 8, bans office holders from taking ANY gifts from foreign countries. There is no mention of quid pro quo. That is because the Founding Fathers knew that even the *appearance* of corruption promotes corruption.

More of this please. Expose their scam reporting at every chance.

If you have to repeatedly break the law to arrest those you claim have broken the law, you’re not enforcing the law. ICE has morphed into a terrorizing Gestapo-like goon squad. They must be held accountable.

⚽️ fans of @nashvillesc.bsky.social not attending because of the ICE raids… @TNHighwayPatrol @GovBillLee are y’all proud of yourselves?

Perfect sign for the parade protest

Donald Trump’s humiliated face after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada will never be for sale made my day. 🍿

Why is the Emolument clause accepted as meaningless meaningless for Trump . Section 9 , Clause 8 of the Constitution prohibits any person holding a government office from accepting any present, emolument , office, or title from any "King, Prince, or foreign State ," without congressional consent.

Trump's new playbook for defiance of judicial orders Supreme Court: We affirm the order requiring US Government "to facilitate Abrego Garcia's release from custody in El Salvador." Trump-Bondi DOJ: That's not how we interpret the Supreme Court decision. Easy to see: criminal contempt.

When A President Isn’t A Criminal Propped Up By A Corrupt Supreme Court…

This should really be all anyone needs to know. He only cares about giant corporations and the oligarchs that fund him. Everyone else? Good luck.

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Indoctrination.

Don't ever let these things happen in secret. Raise your voices as much as you can.

Hell yeah! Put this on loop—this wise man speaks for me. 🔥

NEWS: Labor Party has won Australia's national elections today, defeating their conservative opponents. So Labor will continue leading the country for a second term. The right was leading in the polls in 2024 and early 2025, when the lead reversed — in part due to Trump, just like in Canada.

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: We value human lives, not parades. That’s why we believe — and the world believes — that there is no reason to wait until May 8. The ceasefire should not be just for a few days, only to return to ki##ing afterward.

A three-judge panel in a North Carolina court blocked a Republican scheme to gain power over the state’s election board — the agency charged with running elections and enforcing campaign finance laws. Paige and I explain. youtu.be/b91PmDsvX3Y

Rupert Murdoch’s NY Post. 👇

“Unleashing” has a really bad sound to it in this context; as in, unleashing from the Constitution. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Trump directed officials to investigate ActBlue, the financial backbone of the Democratic Party. The platform helped Democrats raise $400 million in the first three months of this year. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

NEW: In a win for voters, North Carolina settles with voting rights groups and DNC to permanently block part of SB 747. The law required officials to reject some voters' ballots due to address verification issues and offered no remedy to fix the problem.

In an extraordinary on-air rebuke, one of the top journalists at “60 Minutes” directly criticized the program’s parent company, Paramount, in the final moments of its Sunday night CBS telecast, its first episode since the program’s executive producer, Bill Owens, announced his intention to resign.

If members of the press are worried they didn’t give enough coverage to the cognitive decline of a sitting president, they have an amazing opportunity to make up for it right now.

99 defendants in one case appeared in court yesterday in Istanbul, Turkey to face charges of participating in unauthorized protests organized to protest the arrest of the city's mayor, Ekrem Imamoglu. Erdogan has gotta go!

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

Bring him home and free this innocent man!

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

Fox News has resorted to just straight up lying about Abrego Garcia, who has never been convicted or even charged with a crime
