This isn't going to end until the judges start holding lawyers and DOJ officials in contempt and throwing them in jail. Even that might not end it, but there's no point trying to delay the inevitable. They're just getting bolder and more destructive as they go.

“.. judging only from price action, we are suddenly witnessing a comprehensive turn away from US assets (stocks, USTs, corporate credit and the dollar). this is the single most important theme to monitor over coming weeks. .. for the moment capital is flowing out of the US.” - GS Desk/Pasquariello

Many of the voters Griffin is seeking to disenfranchise in the NC Supreme Court race are military voters who used an absentee ballot, just like Griffin did in 2020. These voters followed all the rules and voted legally, and should not be harassed simply bc Griffin is a sore loser. #OurVoteCounts

They never learn, do they?

If Prince gets involved, things are about to get really, really bad, and not just for migrants 😱

Three weeks ago, 238 Venezuelan migrants were taken from Texas to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador. The Trump administration invoked a rarely used WWII law, branding them as terrorists and gang members. Investigations show that most have no criminal records whatsoever. cbsn.ws/42oS14J

Trump removing inconvenient truths. Thread.

Imagine your own congressman screwing you over just to “own the libs.” Speaker Johnson: Working overtime to hand more cash to billionaires and big corporations — you know, the ones really struggling. He’s up for reelection along with the rest of the House. Stand up. Vote him out.

Full blown #constitutionalcrisis. The executive branch is refusing to NOT facilitate the return” of Abrego #Garcia by claiming he is now “in the sole custody of El Salvador.” If you or I violated a court order like this we’d be arrested. The #Trump regime has broken the law and snubbed our courts.

On the one hand it’s a great time to be a legal historian. Feeling so relevant! On the other: holy sh*t.

PA Governor Josh Shapiro's home was attacked by arsonist on the 1st night of Passover. Did you know there were over 10,000 reported incidents of antisemitism in the US last year? Even words have consequences. They create an environment where this can happen. abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...

I keep puzzling over how Rubio thinks it'll bring PROSPERITY to kidnap gay hairdressers based on their tattoos & then pay $20K/year to detain them in a slave camp. We could have spent that $6M on supporting trade with Congo instead, but Rubio has decided torture is better for profits?

On April 26, rural civic leaders, rural organizers, and rural Democrats will gather to develop strategies for opposing Trump and Musk's take-over and outline steps we all can take at the local level to rebuild the Democratic Party from the bottom up. Join us! us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Unless the real goal is to simply sow chaos, in which case they’ve succeeded marvelously.

Cruise ships were already floating petri dishes. Could barely get through one. And done.

Dear SCOTUS - Tapping the sign.

Join me in Farmington, Missouri on April 19 at 6pm at Long Memorial Hall. Let’s discuss what we can do to help organize rural Missouri and build the party from the bottom up. Rural Democrats are here and we can help take our country back.

I am old enough to remember when the first Trump administration met to work on healthcare, including maternity and abortion care. Here is a picture of the event. Do you notice anything?

DOGE already has cost tax payers money (at the very least $500B/year in IRS revenues, but that's before other huge costs are accounted for). And as I keep noting, Elon's $150B/year estimate is what some of the IGs who got fired were finding--w/o cutting services.

Another thing to point out about this statement from Trump: Trump refers to people who were removed to El Salvador as “alien enemies” — but the government has claimed in court that some people it sent there, including Kilmar Abrego Garcia, were *not* removed pursuant to the Alien Enemies Act.

Brace yourself for public figures to be even smaller and more cowardly than you thought possible, and some neighbors and family, too. (Even if you thought they couldn't disappoint you any more than they have.) But we can't give ground. This is deliberate evil. They're testing how far they can go.

Let me clarify, bc there are a lot of other facts that are important too. These all take Trump at his claimed word, to want to combat fraud, antisemitism, and China--that's what right wingers claim they're getting w/Trump. Only Trump has failed them all.

Musk and his imbeciles strike again. Musk’s Latest Fraud Finding Isn’t What It Seems www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/u...

The United States Supreme Court, as packed by the Federalist Society, as supported by the Randy Barretts and Ilya Shapiros and Jonathan Turleys of America, is suited to squabble over what “facilitate” means but not to achieve justice or protect or defend the United States Constitution.

As I’ve said, yes, this was their aim all along. That’s why they didn’t just send these people to Gitmo. This is an attempt to find a step beyond Gitmo where the court says, “Well, our hands are tied.” It’s an awful, lawless gambit that must fail, but that is what they want it to be.
