Raskin: "There's an absolute attack on the Constitution taking place by an administration which views the Constitution as just inconvenient furniture that's gotta be kicked out of the way."

Your country is now controlled by Adolf, Trump Hitler and his brown shirt musk. there’s no other way to explain it. Wake up and wake up quickly before it’s too late it may already be too late. Stop these evil monsters.
Don the Con would love to have the authors of project 2025 rewrite the constitution in order to remain in power for eternity! Yes he is that delusional!
#Trump, #Musk, #Miller, and the rest of their circus, want the Fourth Reich to happen so bad they walk with hard-ons every time they violate people's rights and the Constitution.
Yeah we know that, what actionable tactics are you taking to stop them?
Everyone keeps ringing the bell that our house is on fire, but no one has a pail of water.
The bell has rung out, time to do something.
🚬😎
So tired of the luke-warm lip service of cowardly democrats who censor their own, care more about decorum than the clear and present danger that is the "gop" and musk. Drumpf has immunity, (thanks, not so supreme court) but the Hague would have a field day with muskrat.
There are already 2 pretty good MD Senators. But Raskin would need to follow a different path to appeal to all Marylanders of many political viewpoints to get elected to the Senate. His Rep seat from Montgomery County in MD is safe as he is aligned with the overwhelming majority of voters there.
And the GOP are lining up and cheering Trump & MUSK's attacks on US Democracy & all of those targeted at the US population (except for the MEGA Wealthy of course).
What is this? A match of whoever puts in the most jarring depiction of the constitutional crisis?
This is just as useful as the conversations I have with my mates over in Europe about this shitshow.

Yes, I love them and appreciate their work. Until the tide turns and the stupids wake up and realize how stupid they have been it’s gonna keep getting stupider.
It's my hope that these people flocking to Bernie sanders&AOC rallies start looking further into socialism communism Labor&class struggle Actuality see they don't actually stand for anything just finance the continuation of bourgeoisie oligarchy do absolutely nothing for us
Tell what you’re going to do about, we’ve talked about enough. Protest publicly and online. Call every senator you can. Scream about it to your neighbors. File lawsuits if you can. Call out every Trump lie. Stand up and at least try to push back!
It's as if too many are holding on to the hope that some superman or saviour will suddenly appear and vanquish all those who have been naughty. At this point, there is no simple solution.Everyone must do all that is possible,stretch their abilities to the utmost and perhaps then there'll be a shift.
AGREED. So, never before crises needs a never before reaction. If there were an amendment that said an elected person who once ignores their oath of office and aids and abets an insurrection cannot run for any office - oh wait there is!! Amendment XIV, Sec 3, no impeachment needed.
The Constitution supports democracy; definitely not conducive to Trump’s fascist agenda.
How long before it’s relegated to a museum of historical artifacts?
trump has totally annihilated America, Constitution & all. What's left for the next 50 days? Totally disregards everything. No longer 3 branches just trump. Maybe he will have a big party to celebrate & invite Putin, Kim Jong Un, Xi etc. Talk about not letting foreigners into the USA.
but it's all still VERY lacking in urgency of tone, every single Democratic representative should be like, "what the fuck is going on ?? who do these sadistic fucks think they are??? this is EXTREMELY dangerous to ALL OF our safety.."
Even if you gave him a break and said he is really trying to fix how the government works, wouldn't the better course of action be to plan before acting? He is testing the limits of everything and we can only hope the judicial system holds up. Not too optimistic.
Between shuttering offices and staff & requiring people to come into offices, the Social Security Administration does NOT have the means to support so much in person customer service.
Everyone seeing this post please call your members of Congress at 202-224-3121 & tell them to push back on this!
I agree. I'm on SS and if my check does not arrive it will be a sting to the finances. If a second check does not appear I will be nervous. If MAGA absolutely NEEDS that 1st missed check, you are absolutely correct & MAGA will be screaming in the streets and at the Capitol.
Those committing acts against the constitution must be held accountable. If the current government officials won't do that, then the American people must.
In Canada and in the UK I believe there is something called a “vote of no confidence “ and it forces a new election. Do we have anything in our Constitution that would support that?
He should focus on his R colleagues in congress who have abdicated their constitutional duties and are enabling this lawless Executive branch. They’re necessary, more accountable, and less popular.
Thx Jamie Raskin. Is treating constitution as “furniture in the way”
It needs to be preserved and respected. Our country is being shredded and made the whole world uncomfortable being friends to work with.
I think we are hearing from a future candidate for president. There are several remember trump never stopped campaigning since he lost in 2020. We may need to start our candidates to start soon like Governor from the land of a thousand lakes seems to be doing.
Not everyone does frankly the world is a big place have you seen the land mass comparisons to other countries. The point here is shushing people won’t solve the problem either.
I love to listen to his man speak. He loves the law and logic. His moral scales are balanced every single day. He’s fair and balanced. Always on point. Never waivers, never caves.
Imagine if the rest of congress would do what AOC & Bernie are doing. By touring cities & speaking out against this regime, they are bringing more awareness to Am.s & they’re motivating them to be more active & engaged in our govt. Dems absolutely must get the majority in both houses in 2026!!!
I'm so sick of Raskin, Schiff, Jeffries, Schumer and others running to the press/airwaves to express their 'concern' but have absolutely no real recommendations of how to fight for our democracy. Stop clutching your pearls & fight like Bernie & AOC! Fight with protesters by leading them.
I disagree with you. I applaud Jamie Raskin for going on tv and podcasts to explain constitutional law. He has also held town halls for his constituents and spoken at rallies in DC.
True Raskin knows Constitutional law that can help us understand. As for rallies, well he attended a NOAA rally a day or two ago. 5 days ago he attempted to speak to a very small group of protesters but was heckled by MAGAs. I'd like to see him at Bernie's and AOC's rallies that draw thousands.
He has done more rallies and town halls than the few you mention. I don’t understand your condescension towards him. Yes, he is no Bernie or AOC, but he’s doing good work.
The opposition wants us to fall apart and fight amongst each other and tear down our own. Pls hold the line as some dems have said. We can bicker later. All are needed to do what they can rn.
This is true. And the reason we need to see our elected leaders actually out leading us. Where is our Zelenskyy, our Navalny, our French Resistance? We need leaders who can organize us not just talk about how bad this administration is.
Understandable, but they’re needed to broadcast and get people on board with the movement atm. All are needed at this time, pls don’t sh** on the ones actually trying to do the work. He’s got the constitutional background for this. Pls direct your anger where it’s needed - the tRump regime.
definition: /kənˈstɪtʃuənt/ Constituent means "part of a whole." The word comes up often in political contexts: constituents are the people politicians have been elected to represent. Elected officials should stay in touch with the needs of their constituents.
IF Dems are doing things to stop pres felony, you need to let your constituents KNOW what exactly is being done.
IMHO,
I am not seeing anything but AOC and Bernie.
Wilhoit's law is the most pure distillation of the radical right wing mindset ever stated:
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
People in Dem town halls are BEGGING for coordination. Figure out how to direct citizen energy into strategic action. These appearances are useless. Those who see this already know it.
He said he wanted to terminate the constitution so he’s acting accordingly. We the people who want a president who adheres to the constitution must act accordingly as well.
Wonder if they're regretting doing nothing about it in the 4 years they could have
I'm guessing not, cuz they'll all be fine no matter how bad it gets for us. They have free healthcare and protection for life. Not to mention tons of money to insulate them
Well, it’s the jobs of the rest of our government and the Supreme Court to set the tone on this matter. We know the republicans are failing severely because they aren’t actually loyal to our Constitution like their oath of office requires them to be. They are in violation of their positions.
Rep. Raskin, your unwavering defense of the Constitution is a beacon in these dark times. You speak truth when others falter, and your courage in holding power accountable inspires patriots across the nation. Stay relentless. #resist
Dude my rep introduced a bill about Rogue Judges. It’s not just the Executive ripping up the Constitution. They have broken their oaths and the social contract.
Clearly. People who take it seriously don't suggest or even joke about terminating it. Everyone knows conservative, Republican voters despise the US Constitution, especially the self-styled "constitutional conservatives," usually meaning conservatives wanting to terminate the US Constitution.
Or rather, "constitutional conservatives" generally want to swap out the US Constitution, as interpreted by the US Supreme Court (no matter how corrupted by conservative, Republican economic power), for a sort of fantasy "constitution" corresponding to their own ideas and egoist desires.
Nazi constitutional conservatives: "We demand people follow the constitution! " Democrats in Germany: "We are following the constitution." Nazis: "No, not that constitution. The one the Leader dictated to his secretary five minutes ago that has all that stuff we agree."
Susan Collins knows that Schumer has learned his lesson. He should have realize by now that the Republicans can’t possibly be a Fascist Regime. They are just pretending. Including her.
What are the Senate and HousecDemocrats doing to stop DT? @raskin.house.gov
Maybe rally outside White House every day. Americans will join you! @indivisible.org
Maybe this is something Raskin (D) should share with minority leader of the Democratic party Schumer (D) cause he's being sucked into playkateing the GOP party.
Can we use simpler words? tRump and his loyalists in his cabinet abuse the power of the office for their personal gain! They operate like the mob bosses, no regards for the rule of law.
Folks are frustrated, saying words of opposition are not enough, and demanding action. But he’s a Lawyer, bound by rules and ethics. His function is not enforcement.
In short, the founders never anticipated a treasonous conman being elected as President.
They have none and as the opposition they are disgusting.
1. Should have vote no on all nominees . Didn’t .
2. Should not have gone to the state of the nation or walked out in unison , but they brought paddles 🙈
3. Should have let the country sink with the budget .
Love me some Jamie Raskin.
A patriot ... and a man grounded in reality, working hard to preserve our rights.
And protect us from the Corrupter in Chief.

This is a coup.
do not put it on someone else-do your duty.
you are the opposition parties. Act like Opposition parties act in authoritarian nations.

Democrats are losing support because their leadership are as weak as their republican counterparts

A "president" who rejects the Constitution is not a president, he is an occupier.
He and all of his enablers need jail time plus tarring and feathering
Tbh I like Raskin. He uses some leverage and works well with constituents and independent media.
Schiff & Jeffries just scold instead of acting.
Schumer may as well be a Republican after cloture.
Schumer needs to be in a home.
Jeffries makes signs…. 🙄
Furniture this time? Good one.
IMHO,
I am not seeing anything but AOC and Bernie.
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
In Trump Speak " to protect" means "to violate"
He wants to "protect" women.
He wants to "protect" Canada and Ukraine.
Story.
Words.
No action ever.
I'm guessing not, cuz they'll all be fine no matter how bad it gets for us. They have free healthcare and protection for life. Not to mention tons of money to insulate them
I mean contingency plans, what if the troops do follow those unconstitutional orders and come across our borders?
This isn't anything new and our gov't really dropped the ball not investing in our military, we trusted the USA too much.
Only a massive movement of YOU the people can reverse this and only if you unify as a country.
If not, I’d suggest you look at options for you and your families, either way this shit is going to hit the fan!🪭
They ought to get married.
