The US attorney found dead this weekend was working on Russian money laundering cases involving the GOP and was probably killed by the Terrorist Trump crime family. 🤷

I feel confident in predicting history will judge this decade or so as the absolutely stupidest time in American history. Honestly our kids and grandkids will read about this time and be shocked that adults existed.

This is the worst fucking take. A: HE IS DEFYING LOWER COURTS RIGHT NOW. THAT SHOULD BE ENOGH TO MAKE DEMOCRATS "FIGHT IN EVERY SINGLE WAY" B: We should not need to wait on a 6-3 Republican Supermajority to determine if Democrats should "FIGHT IN EVERY SINGLE WAY" WHAT THE FUCK EVEN IS THIS?

Iconic Golden Girls actress Bea Arthur, who served in the Marine Corps, has had her contribution scrubbed from Department of Defence website

"Give the power to the states" was also the pro-slavery argument in the 1850s -- and the pro-segregation argument in the 1950s.

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

You're not overreacting

Paul Weiss agreed to "dedicate" pro bono services to the "President's Task Force to Combat Antisemitism. The head of that "Task Force" is an antisemite.

NASA drops its plan to land the first woman and the first person of color on the moon. That promise was a central plank to the space agency’s Artemis program, which is scheduled to return humans to the lunar surface in 2027. 🌖

"On October 8, 1931, a law went into effect requiring every Italian university professor to sign an oath pledging their loyalty to the government of Benito Mussolini. Out of over 1,200 professors in the country, only 12 refused. All of them were immediately fired." www.chronicle.com/article/what...

Trump: "People are coming to me and talking about tariffs. And a lot of people are asking me if they could have exceptions." (this sort of patronage system is the point of Trump's tariffs)

Nothing to see here—just the President of the United States suggesting that Americans who vandalized the cars of the company owned by his biggest political donor should be sent to a notorious prison in another country. This is insane.

THIS IS INSANE: A thread 🧵👇 Yesterday, the acting commissioner of the Social Secrity Administration, Lelnd Dudek, notified Rep. George Latmier that he rejected his and Rep. Lawler's bipartisan effort to keep the only Social Security hearing office in the Hudson Valley open.

This Paul Weiss capitulation is the most disgraceful action by a major law firm in my lifetime, so appalling that I couldn’t believe it at first. Any lawyers at that firm—partners or associates—who don’t promptly resign will defile their moral and professional reputations beyond repair.

It seem insane for a US Senator to say we've all been subjected to "a relentless bombardment of Marxist propaganda." But what he means by this is 1) there was a Burger King ad with an interracial couple and 2) Star Wars Episodes VII-IX had a female lead.

It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.

NEW! Sworn declarations filed last night confirm the Trump admin sent INNOCENT people to rot in prison El Salvador, including a professional soccer player jailed and tortured by the Maduro regime, who entered this country LEGALLY to seek asylum, and who has NO CRIMINAL RECORD in either country.

I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

The Trump administration just shut down a food safety committee to prevent bacteria in baby formula. They are also threatening to fire employees who prevent deli meat from being infected with Listeria and applesauce from being laced with lead.

As Trump attempts to re-segregate America, never lose sight of the fact that Elon Musk stands to financially benefit from the federal government no longer enforcing anti-segregation laws. My latest in @thenation.com

Wow

I had to compose myself before posting—because this breaks a part of my soul. If you’re a contractor with a segregation policy, say it loud—so non-white dollars don’t fund your business. It won’t go how you think. And if anyone uncovers businesses doing this, put them on blast. #NAACP #BlackSky

We reached DEFCON F*CK Trump repealed Pres. Johnson’s 1965 EO prohibiting federal contractors from having segregated restaurants, waiting rooms, & drinking fountains. Enter Jim Crow 2.0 tinyurl.com/Trump-segreg...

I feel like I'm a scientist in a disaster movie who spent years trying to warn people of the impending disaster. Only nobody listened. And now that the disaster is upon us, the authorities are like "Yo, smarty-pants, what should we do about this here disaster?" And I'm like: "THE FUCK DO I KNOW?"

You can’t make this up. The Trump admin is erasing images of one of the servicemembers who raised the flag at Iwo Jima. What an outrageous act of disrespect to one of America’s heroes. His name is Pfc. Ira Hayes, and he deserves to be honored. wapo.st/4bzcQPe

This is a disgrace!

Seriously, WTF??????????

A rare statement from Justice Roberts in response to Trump's post this morning: “For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.”

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

White House redoubles aggressiveness in advance of hearing. They move the DC circuit to reassign the case from Boasberg. That ain’t happening. And they claim he has no authority to determine the law here. We are in very troubled waters. And hearing starts in five minutes.

!!! NEW: DOJ tells Judge Boasberg that he should CANCEL the 5 p.m. hearing "because there has been no violation of the Court's orders, and because the government is not prepared to disclose any further national security or operational security details." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

the vice president of the united states follows this guy on twitter!

This is Pete Hegseth’s Department of Defense. Labeling the highest ranking black Medal of Honor recipient “DEI.” Pure racism. My latest post. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Those looking to DO SOMETHING today, we have three special elections coming up to fill seats vacated by Trump’s cabinet picks. If we win all three, we will have control of the House - a HUGE deal! Two are in FL (April 1) one in NY (TBD). Will post links.

"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say

The State Department has quietly terminated a contract that was in the process of transferring evidence of alleged Russian abductions of Ukrainian children—a potential war crime—to law enforcement officials in Europe t.co/rks4bBFOrN

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed. No one knows why he was detained.

Within minutes of showing up at the IRS, a twenty-something software engineer dispatched from DOGE began demanding access to the tax collection agency’s most protected internal databases — including the one containing the personal and financial data for millions of American taxpayers.
