Why isn't Trump's clear and open call for federal law enforcement to arrest a Democratic governor based on zero lawbreaking of any kind leading every single news site right now?

Since every accusation is a confession, I’d like to know the story behind Trump’s statement that he did not sign the order invoking the 1798 Alien Enemies Act.

Stunning details now emerging: this was an operation planned a year and a half in advance, involved smuggling drones into Russia, placing them in containers on top of trucks, arranging for them all to open simultaneously and to strike.

More sanewashing, this time of John Roberts. The guy who blew up 100 years of campaign finance law, devastated voting rights, and spearheaded the catastrophic immunity decision. Presiding over the most unethical court in history. Supreme Court walks a tightrope as it confronts Trump’s power moves

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Between this and the Venezuelan TPS ruling, #SCOTUS has now cleared the way for removing more than one million non-citizens who, until now, were legally protected against removal. This also ratchets up the stakes in the "third-country" removal case, since many of these folks can't be sent home.

Dems need to start explicitly, publicly, loudly, repeatedly promising oversight, investigations, subpoenas, hearings, prosecutations, & jail time for those ransacking our country. I want specifics, timelines, inevitability. The new Dem House will get sworn in on 1/3/27. What happens on 1/4/27?

Imagine how massive the tax breaks for billionaires must be when cutting $700B from Medicaid, $500B from Medicare, and $300B in food assistance STILL leaves a $4T deficit.

No other developed nation in the world would tolerate the monstrosity that is the GOP's Murder-Suicide Pact with America. It's time to face the fact that virtually every other leading democracy on the planet serves their people better than we do here. My latest. www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-big-b...

Update: This happened last night—Senate Republicans went nuclear, overruling the parliamentarian and blowing up the filibuster to repeal California's vehicle emissions standards. Many Republicans will likely cite this precedent as reason to bypass the filibuster to pass the reconciliation bill too.

Most of my friends think I'm wasting my time and, I probably am. But I had to try. Here is an open letter, and an honest plea, to Clarence Thomas, in hopes that he might do the right thing this decision season. He hates me as much as I hate him. But I had to try.

Comey’s 8647 and Grok’s tampering both experiencing the Streissand effect within 24 hours shows that even though the Trump regime and its billionaire backers can at times seem all-powerful, they’re actually just a small group of incompetent fascists who are way in over their heads.

Just awful: Buried in the GOP bill is a provision that gives a NEW AND EXPANDED TAX BREAK TO WEALTHY INVESTORS, tax experts tell me. It was a bad idea to credulously accept it when Trump claimed to want to raise taxes on investor elites. Details here: newrepublic.com/article/1952...

The Republicans tax bill is here. It does NOT ban taxing tips. It does NOT ban taxing overtime. It does NOT ban taxing Social Security. Trump LIED to you — y’all got PLAYED.

Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey. They are random people, basically. But in the late 1920s, with fascism taking over Europe, they made a choice that profoundly changed the world: 🧵

Failing to understand the long-term consequences of critical developments during the past half century have brought us to where we are. A failure to imagine the worst case outcomes we are currently facing will make them far more likely. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

It appears very likely that the Supreme Court will force Oklahoma to approve and fund a Catholic charter school that reserves the right to indoctrinate students in Catholicism, force them to attend mass, and discriminate against non-Catholics. The three liberals sound increasingly exasperated.

This is getting overlooked: Trump openly admitted he hasn't even asked Bukele to return Abrego Garcia, claiming his lawyers haven't said he has to. Either Trump is knowingly flouting SCOTUS or his lawyers have deceived him. Exchange w/ @speechboy71.bsky.social: newrepublic.com/article/1945...

Not the same thing but it's related to it. A friend pointed out to me last night something kind of uncanny abt the present moment which is that there's actually not a lot of 'debate' about the tariffs, which is weird when you consider that it's the biggest and most salient issue in American ...
