Could you imagine the response if a democratic president said they didn’t know if they had to uphold the Constitution? How fast would the articles of impeachment be drawn ? 20 minutes at the most

this guy hates this country, its laws and its traditions

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

it is fun to read profiles of this guy which play him up as some diabolical mastermind and then watch him in action and see a huge loser

All of this on a weekday we’re in complete awe of you. You always rise to every call to action. You’re amazing, and words can’t express how much we love and appreciate you all.

Plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle feel threatened by rising class consciousness.

As the weather gets more inviting and things get crazier, please remember to enjoy quiet or time away. Spend time with friends and loved ones who share similar interests. Nature is beautiful and a reminder that things, such as an 🍊wrinkly 🤡, are only temporary. Living happily is resistance, too.

I fought damn hard to create the 988 Hotline because help should not be hard to get – regardless of who you are or where you live. This is wrong and cruel – and you can be sure I will fight this. www.axios.com/2025/04/23/l...

Sometimes you just have to ask—why? The Senate voted to strike down a rule capping most bank overdraft fees at $5, a measure introduced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that was expected to save Americans billions each year.

What the actual fuck:

I had legit completely forgotten this.

The tragedy of the incompetent drug, alcohol and sex addicted cabinet is, we are raising a generation of children who think it’s ok to cheat, be a racist and rapist and still be president

Democratic House Rep. Ro Khanna: “GOP reps are attacking me for holding town halls in their districts. Maybe if they spent more time doing their job and talking to constituents, I wouldn't have to.” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Sen. Tammy Duckworth calls on Pete Hegseth to resign: "Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could've gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately."

We are heartbroken and outraged to learn that Alfredo "Lelo" Juarez was violently detained by ICE while dropping his partner off at work. He is reportedly being held at a private detention facility in Tacoma, Washington. 🧵

As more information is revealed, it is clear that the cover-up is even worse than the crime. Every single person involved has no business being involved in our government. At minimum, there should be resignations. And prosecutions.

Every member of this administration should go to prison for the rest of their natural lives.

Musk keeps firing us, and with all this free time, we’re organizing America. They call us “paid protesters”—but seriously, where do we sign up for that paycheck? We’re open to those “Soros bucks.” Every day, we spill the tea, knowing retribution is coming.

Look, folks, this is it. The entire ballgame. Either we're a Republic of laws & the Constitution, or we have a dictator. This is fascism, & the impeachment vote should be happening today. Every single university president in the country should be out, in front of microphones, condemning this.

Warning: Fascists believe a very wide array of First Amendment activity is “anti-American.” This will not stop here.

Since it apparently needs to be said: As a Jew who works on a university campus, I am safest in a country that protects academic freedom and liberal values of due process of law. Anyone who supports extrajudicial detention of students for "wrong" ideological opinions is not doing it for my safety.

It’s amazing to find out at this late date how much the rule of law depended on people simply deciding, on a voluntary, daily basis, not to break the law.

Can you all just admit that the GOP never gave a fuck about veterans?

I hope it passes!!

No shortage of selective outrage

i'm no internet lawyer but i'm pretty sure i now own all of cillizza's stuff

Kaine: "You can talk about sending education back to the states. Yeah, that's where we were before Brown v. Board of Education. The states got to decide, and the states made a hell of a lot of decisions that were really awful."

It's the entire email list for all DOGE employees. Have fun!
