Who is going to do something? This is Kim Jong-Un shit.

If Jeff Bezos can send Katy Perry into space, he can pay a wealth tax so every American has debt-free healthcare.

Trump must think America has had it too good for too long, because now he’s getting the world off the dollar as a reserve currency. Watch Barry Ritholtz explain what that means for us on the LP Podcast: youtu.be/9B3q5-3vjtY

The president who in 2020 had unidentified federal agents deployed against protesters is now encouraging a foreign dictator to build more prisons to accommodate "homegrown" "criminals," as he ignores a court order to effect the return of a guy sent to a foreign prison without any due process.

I’ve just posted this video message to members of the DC Bar, urging them to vote *AGAINST* AG Pam Bondi’s brother to be its next president. Please pass this on to anyone who is eligible to vote. www.instagram.com/reel/DIcQFxt...

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Trump is defying a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling against him. The Constitutional Crisis is no longer some abstract idea, it's right here staring us in the face.

The Case Zablocki Act literally requires the text of any agreements the executive branch enters into with foreign states to be PUBLISHED ON THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE WEBSITE within 120 days of going into effect (thanks, @bcfinucane.bsky.social for the reference!) www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...

Any judge found to be unethical while on the bench should recuse themselves or remove themselves from their bench. This is getting shameful in a time when our other branches of government are cracking.

Stephen Miller claims on Fox News that returning the Maryland father who was wrongly deported to El Salvador would constitute a "kidnapping" and "invasion of El Salvador's sovereignty." "He was not mistakenly sent to El Salvador," Miller lies. "This was the right person sent to the right place."

Oh look. Another bribery and extortion scheme.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

More in No, Other People: New poll: “America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.” • 80% of Americans agree • 20% disagree “I would be better off if I worked in a factory.” • 25% of Americans agree • 73% disagree • 2% currently work in a factory

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

@algreen.house.gov @repjasmine.bsky.social So basically, she voted illegally in Hawaii while being a resident citizen in my state of Texas, where I'd like to kick her out of because she cheapens it. Can someone file a suit against her? Have a spine someone. VOTER INTEGRITY! youtu.be/QqEUnmNzDFA?...

Human rights for all!

Trump working hard on his campaign promise to lower rent prices

What a pathetic little man

Karoline Leavitt boasted today that cooperation with El Salvador is at "an all time high." Wouldn't that indicate if the US asked El Salvador to return Garcia, it would be done? & isn't there a contract with El Salvador to jail deportees? Is there nothing in it about cooperating to bring them back?

Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) says it's "not realistic" to rule out cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

America Last, Putin First

47 MISUSES EXECUTIVE ORDERS As one Congresswoman noted yesterday, why has the media failed to even question, how the President used two executive orders to investigate two people involved in providing information during his impeachment trials in his previous administration? Chris Crebbs

Perfectly defines Deumpf's thinking.

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

Let’s make sure they all hear about it…👇 You know what to do. 😎✨

If you are a law student or associate who joined one of the Big Law firms that is now collaborating with Trump to do pro bono, ignore the bullshit management is telling you. Here is what Trump has in mind for you. Your spineless leaders will never say no to him.

Sure. Tell Grandma to just head on over to X to sign up for her benefits.

The Supreme Court has ruled. Kilmar Abrego Garcia must be returned home. Now.

The President of the United States engaged in insider trading, and laughed about it. He is not exempt from the law. Where the fuck is Congress?

gee i wonder why voters might've been confused about the existential stakes of the last election

Dear @apnews He is lying. You know he is lying. You also know that your framing and headline gives him support and will cause people to believe him. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM HERE apnews.com/article/auti...

Many thanks to @maddow.msnbc.com for featuring so much of @wired.com's DOGE reporting last night.

Exactly!

The fuss about all the insider trading is crazy. This is a guy who was caught coerced officials into gifting him votes, organized an insurrection where people and police died and sold and stole national secrets. And walked away laughing. Insider trading is like a parking violation

BREAKING: The country of Norway just entered a bill to give transgender Americans asylum in the country of Norway… LGBTQ+ STRONG! 🌈✨

It's small potatoes in the scheme of things but not sure it makes any sense for legal reporters to ask lawyers at firms that have caved to Trump for any expert analysis on litigation involving the administration.
