The vast majority (75%) of Venezuelan men taken to CECOT had no criminal convictions in the United States or abroad according to @60minutes.bsky.social. Call your representatives to demand that they speak out to protect due process. #JusticeforAndry #FreeAndry www.cbsnews.com/news/what-re...

Tim nailed it 🔨

Catastrophic. This is what Mike Johnson has allowed Musk to do.

Donald Trump has taken over the GOP, he is neutralizing the business and legal communities. The biggest obstacle to his ambition are free and fair elections. That is why he is attacking them via executive order and it is why we are fighting back in court.

The moment Cory Booker broke Strom Thurmond's speaking record: "I'm not here because of his speech. I'm here despite his speech. I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people are more powerful."

Breaking: Cory Booker has officially delivered the longest Senate floor speech in US history, surpassing Strom Thurmond’s filibuster against the Civil Rights Act.

Booker, just minutes away from the speaking record: "This is when the most precious ideas of our country are being tested, where the Constitution and the question is being called -- Where does the constitution live? On paper? Or in our hearts? This is the moment."

Cory Booker just passed the 24 hour mark. He's been speaking for a full day straight. 20 more minutes to break Strom Thurmond's record.

Thank you Senator Cory Booker. This guy truly cares about the people he represents.

If you're an Indiana resident and would like to know what Sen. Jim Banks will do to make up for the slash-and-burn approach to health care *besides* taunting unemployed workers like an asshole, give him a call! DC office: 202-224-4814 Fort Wayne office: 260-321-7130

Fourteen hours later, he's still going. Thank you, @booker.senate.gov, for using your voice to alert people to Trump and Musk's wrecking ball to Social Security and other vital services Americans rely on.

The Trump administration can run from this national security scandal, but they cannot hide. The so-called Defense Secretary must be fired. And that’s only the beginning.

Let me get this straight: we can't "afford" to track disease, research cures or make sure food and drugs are safe, but we can afford to spend $4.5 trillion on tax breaks that mostly go to the rich?

Unbelievable. Apparently Trump and Musk think people have to freeze in the winter and roast in the summer so that there's more money to spend on tax breaks for the rich.

In just 71 days, Trump and Republicans have screwed over veterans, families, seniors, and children—Senator Cory Booker has been on the Senate floor for 17 hours straight calling them OUT.

Unbelievable. Sen. Cory Booker is on hour 20 of his speech on the Senate floor.

Cory Booker

I woke up absurdly early for no good reason this morning, realized that something interesting was happening in my town and decided that I should go bear witness. Sen. Cory Booker was 12 hours into holding the Senate floor overnight in protest of Trump's lawless immigration policies.

The press conference about the Tesla service center cars that were set on fire has been turned into an informercial for Tesla with this guy praising the Las Vegas police department's purchase of Cybertrucks for their fleet. 🙄

One close Trump adviser simply says that the president’s ultimate leverage against certain judges who try to stand in the way of his agenda is that the judiciary does not command an army, while the president of the United States does.

Per the @apnews.com: Chief Justice Roberts rebukes Donald Trump, saying impeachment isn’t the ‘appropriate response’ to disagreeing with a judge’s ruling.

"We suspect that someday they may commit a crime and we're preventing that by sending them to a maximum security prison in El Salvador."

Totally agree with this. Flying a person to a third country that they may never have been to, directly into a prison where they are going to be forced to do hard labor, is not a deportation; it's something else entirely.

The Proclamation itself contains a similar nonsensical contention; TdA is a foreign government because it's an arm of the Maduro government, and also it's a foreign government because in Venezuela, it's the "de facto" government in places where Maduro has lost control. Both can't be true!

My niece, Sarah Boim Sarah, worked at the CDC. Let go by the Trump administration and Musk. Another reason @schumer.senate.gov did not fight for us. Schumer, did not fight for my family or science . 😠🔬 youtu.be/XtQx7_ZGLQk?...

“Did they have an army? I mean, if the president has given his top campaign donor the ability to use physical force, the ability to use the force of arms against other parts of the U.S. government, we are in a different place than we thought we were.” www.rawstory.com/trump-doge-2...

“Venezuela’s government on Sunday rejected the use of Trump’s declaration of the law, characterizing it as evocative of ‘the darkest episodes in human history, from slavery to the horror of the Nazi concentration camps.’” The law applies only to wars declared by Congress. apnews.com/article/trum...

Day by day, we come closer to the moment when a Trump official expressly defies a federal court order and the judge runs out of patience, holds the official in contempt, and orders them jailed. But the US marshals work for AG Bondi. So . . .

Trump now says Biden’s pardons of those who investigated his J6 insurrection are void. Total BS. That’s not how the pardon power works, dummy. If any pardons were subject to second-guessing, it’d be the ones you handed out to the J6 mob you unleashed to keep you in power for life!

This is 💯% TRUE!! And it all starts with the "higher ups!" As we are seeing IRL, via #47. They sow division amongst people with their racism,etc., because they know that we are much stronger together!!!

This is a PhD student in *epidemiology*

We have overcome near-death experiences before. We shall overcome this one too. Not by denying we are in a constitutional crisis. We are. But we can and will prevail if we face the truth unflinchingly and never abandon the long twilight struggle against evil. open.substack.com/pub/roberthu...

Religion and Oligarchs are a plague on society that we can't seem to get rid of.

I mean.

Here’s the thing, fuckface — we knew you were going to try this shit, but you can’t “void” another president’s pardons. The Constitution is extremely clear on this, you traitorous piece of shit.

President Zelenskyy is an ally of our country who protects Americans’ freedom by holding the line against an authoritarian regime. He doesn’t bow to dictators—neither should our leaders.

When I was 22 years old, I took an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States. The only oath Elon Musk seems to have made is to his billionaire buddies and his own bank account.

This President has orchestrated a callous witch hunt against our patriotic civil servants. In his attacks on them, he is attacking the people they serve – the American people. #TeamMaryland is continuing to do everything in our power to push back against this Administration.
