A 3rd grader knows better than him…

Over 75% of folks in ICE custody this year had no criminal record beyond immigration or traffic issues. Less than 10% had serious convictions. Fear sells, but facts matter. #ImmigrationTruth

@maddow.msnbc.com Grassroots and #Indivisible groups like ours will keep on standing up, rallying and fighting for democracy! Thank you for coming to #longIsland tonight and talking to us!! #savedemocracy #strongertogether What did you do to save democracy!!💪💙

this is a bit of meta-analysis here, but one of the benefits of members of Congress engaging in direct challenges to the administration is they become personally implicated and pissed off at how they are treated. And that’s good! They should be!

🚨 BREAKING: The European Commission has upped the pressure in talks with Donald Trump by putting forward retaliation worth nearly €100 billion of imports — including big-ticket items like aircraft — that could get tariffed. Full story: ow.ly/1oCv50VPaFJ

NEW YORK: “Please detail what your red line is, and at what point you’ll actually stand up for the constitution you swore an oath to defend.” An older woman is carried out by law enforcement for asking questions @repmikelawler (R) doesn’t like.

Happy Sunday! This is the way.

Immediately MAGA began believing recessions are good.

The real reason why the fascist is defunding the NPR - more than 40 million Americans listen to NPR public radio each week, and 36 million watch a local television station from the PBS network each month. #MOMSky #SaveOurDemocracy

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

Harvard Law professor Michael Klarman gave an inspiring lecture about the need for lawyers to protect democracy. I was honored that he noted the attacks and threats aimed at me. His words serve to steel my spine and make me more committed than ever to fighting for democracy. Thank you professor.🙏

Tom Homan is evil personified in an administration where it’s hard to stand out for that.

"Magistrate Judge" Stephen C. Dries signed the arrest warrant to arrest another judge in Wisconsin, Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan. She was charged with obstructing a U.S. agency and concealing an individual to prevent an arrest. #GestapoJudge #NurembergNow www.jsonline.com/story/news/b...

This is a real Constitutional crisis. The FBI and the Executive have started arresting judges who interfere with their fascist agenda. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec... abcnews.go.com/US/judge-han...

Historically, hygiene and health are reasons to have effective government. Without it, people senselessly die. Demolishing the federal government will have terrible costs. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

HAPPENING NOW: Hundreds of protesters have now gathered outside a federal courthouse in downtown Milwaukee to support Judge Hannah Dugan

Maddow: 88% of the country says no, no, he cannot defy a supreme court ruling. Only 9% say yes he can. And you know, it's not the same thing. But I should mention that 9% is also the proportion of Americans who told yougov this week that they have a favorable view of the black plague

Yes - Trump lied about it all

Removing the goalposts entirely

Q: "What would have happened to you if you had shared battle plans like this when you were a pilot?" Rep. Mikie Sherrill: "Like everyone else except Pete Hegseth, evidently, I would've been court-marshaled and drummed out of the military. This is absolutely ridiculous."

JD Vance demanded that Russia and Ukraine agree to a U.S. peace proposal that would “freeze the territorial lines,” and would force Kyiv to accept other Moscow-favored terms. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. declared that “sugar is poison.” Follow live updates on the Trump administration.

There is no bottom to this barrel.

Even as Pope Francis was hospitalized in the last months of his life, he still occasionally kept up what had been a near-nightly ritual: calling the hundreds of Palestinian Christians huddling in the only Roman Catholic church in the war-torn Gaza Strip.

Facts matter

1. This is a legitimately courageous stance in a moment when many elites are choosing the path of appeasement 2. Strategic alumni organizing will be crucial to make it stick. What I'm saying is: if you went to Harvard and you want everyone to know but in a humble way, THIS IS YOUR MOMENT
