Grave lack of honor. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/o...

Putting Musk in charge of remaking the government is like asking someone to do your neurosurgery because you think he’s a cool billionaire.

Any member of the House can, by invoking Rule IX, force a floor vote on anything relating to impeachment. Johnson can't stop it. At most he can intervene with a resolution of his own to do something else with it, but that then requires a floor vote also, which becomes effectively the same thing.

If we're actually calling this SignalGate, felt compelled to make this point: “Signal is a tool. If you misuse a tool, bad things are going to happen," says @matthewdgreen.bsky.social. "If you hit yourself in the face with a hammer, it’s not the hammer’s fault." www.wired.com/story/signal...

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

This arrest is the latest in an alarming pattern to stifle civil liberties. The Trump admin is targeting students with legal status and ripping people out of their communities without due process. This is an attack on our Constitution and basic freedoms — and we will push back.

MASKED SECRET POLICE arrested a student on the sidewalk in broad daylight FOR WRITING AN OP/ED We are absolutely at that point now

Think about this....

They function on a three-year-old level. If you understand that and have experience with toddlers you recognize it for what it is.

I am truly terrified for Hamdan. If you don’t know who Hamdan Ballal is, he is the director of No Other Land and he and Yuval both won the Oscar for Best Documentary this year

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.

"Hey Alexa, are you recording this?" Yes, the answer is yes. Amazon is killing its “Do Not Send Voice Recordings” privacy feature on March 28 as the company aims to bolster Alexa+, its new subscription assistant. Let's get into it...

Trump is calling for James Boasberg, the federal judge questioning why the administration failed to follow his order halting some deportations, to be impeached. But can Trump impeach judges? The short answer: No. Only Congress can: www.democracydocket.com/analysis/elo...

What are we even doing? Are there any adults in charge at all?

I strongly suspect this recent piece from Prof. David Knoll is about to be come extremely relevant and widely read. "Even a rogue marshal’s service, in other words, is not an insurmountable obstacle to courts enforcing the rule of law. If courts have the courage, the legal tools are there."

Someone needs to explain to me why the individuals who facilitated the deportation DESPITE the clear court ruling they should not, have not had any consequences for breaking the law. Thoughts?

Is this not a case of Rubio blatantly breaking the law? Shouldn’t he be held responsible for defying the law? Wouldn’t something be else be arrested for breaking a judges ruling?

Holy crap. The DOJ is arguing that the President can unilaterally deport anyone he wants without ANY statutory authority, just on his inherent authority as President over national security. That is a terrifying claim to make and not one that has ever been recognized before in US history.

The Trump regime will arrest you in the middle of the night because you spoke your mind. And federal agents in plain clothes who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it. If you think I'm being hyperbolic, watch this clip.

So disappointed in my senator king and these democrats. They handed their power to trump and musk.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

On her way to an emergency medical checkup, a 10-year old little girl recovering from brain cancer surgery and her family were stopped by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. This is the heartbreaking story of a mixed-status family. Four American-born children and their undocumented parents were…

Congressman Dan Crenshaw does not know what a law is. Absolutely wild exchange here.

“…the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.” - FDR, 1938

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

If Russia wants peace, they should end the invasion.

I'm not convinced this will happen, but if it does, I would imagine that a LOT more people will suddenly start paying attention to DOGE.
