Honestly, even the Chinese and Russians never made me do this to get a visa. Even the North Koreans, who made me hand over my phone for the duration of my visit, never made this demand.

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

1. Our reporting displeased the world's richest man. 2. He spent $288 million to elect President Trump and other Republicans. 3. Trump's FTC has now launched a meritless investigation targeting us. 4. We're suing to protect the First Amendment. www.mediamatters.org/justice-civi...

This is a horrifying ruling that shows a disdain for basic human rights principles — made all the more unconscionable by the fact that the Republican appointees did so with no reasoning and on the shadow docket.

Congratulations to John Roberts, who will now surely displace Taney as the most scathingly hated Chief Justice in the history books, and to the Roberts Court, which m will go down as the one that probably did the most of any to destroy what is good about this country

If you are kidnapping your citizens with no due process to take away their freedom and trying to silence media, law firms, and universities for exercising free speech, you don't get to call yourself "Leader of the Free World."

Good morning. We knew the answers to questions like these when the JCPOA was in effect. Again, in a more serious country, unilaterally withdrawing from that agreement would have immediately ended Trump's first presidency & destroyed the GOP's reputation on national security policy for a generation.

Amazing. NYT has more confirmation that Trump's decision to bomb Iran was motivated in large part by the way the Israeli strikes were "playing" on Fox News, which drove him to want credit for it

This is: - a lie, as an empirical assessment (to distract from the illegality of what Trump is doing) - propaganda, as a political statement (to obscure what’s happening for the base) - a window into how MAGA conceives of foreign policy: “We get to hit you, you simply take it, we declare victory.”

New @msnbc.com op-ed from me: despite protestations from the right, the “big beautiful bill” really would add trillions to the deficit and would harm, not help, the economy.

House Republicans have proposed a 50% cut to the Government Accountability Office and a 12% cut to the Library of Congress in a bill to be marked-up tomorrow. This would destroy Congress's non-partisan expert agencies and blow up the Legislative branch.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

Strong feeling that Democratic leadership are DRAMATICALLY underestimating the desire amongst Democratic voters to punish the ICE thugs that are doing this. Voters want accountability, and this is going to boil over into D party fracture if @schumer.senate.gov keeps trying to ignore it

Why push for impeachment? Because politics is an exercise in moving public opinion as much as counting votes in the senate. The Jan 6 Hearings were not a criminal proceeding against Trump that would end in jail, but they focused public attention. Performative public investigations matter

As our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention. 22 years old. Recent work experience: landscaping/grocery clerk. Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But he’s a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job.

An amazing time for Congress to slash policies that have driven a massive private-sector boom of investing in clean energy and transportation technologies that can help break dependence on foreign oil / global oil prices. No notes.

This is the kind of excessive force case DOJ routinely prosecutes. They should open an investigation here, based on the misconduct not the victims status.

If you think this war with Iran won’t involve putting troops on the ground you are wrong. Army units are being deployed as we speak. They are being fear steal and lobster before they leave. That is NEVER a good sign. What’s worse is that our troops are under the leadership of the single most

And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

If people really find this to be such an easy conclusion, then Congressional authority should be easy to get. So why don’t they insist on a vote? They know this isn’t “progressive” resistance. They want to marginalize it as such because on top of this war being ILLEGAL, it’s also deeply unpopular.
