#NoKingsDay Protest Song "When Donnie Goes Marching Home"

Kimmel is indeed awesome. But WTF? Why is it that the best programs to learn the real truth of what's happening are comedy shows and monologues? Maybe MSM journalists need to get some comedy training.

How an obscure budget provision could upend judges' contempt power reut.rs/3Z7JQcj

Judges need to start ordering that officials giving answers like this be jailed for contempt.

Unreal. The Trump administration is disappearing migrants to places that aren't even their origin countries, then refusing to say which countries they were sent to by claiming this is "classified," then refusing to say *why* the info is classified:

I don’t think he gets to just go back to being an eccentric billionaire. His DOGE madness has done substantial damage to the United States of America.

In case you missed my readout of yesterday’s SCOTUS argument in the birthright citizenship case, here’s the THREAD.

Tonight Kilmar Abrego Garcia will try to fall asleep in a concentration camp in El Salvador because… the President of the United States sent him there with no due process and in defiance of the court. It will be our eternal shame if we do not resolve this. Please call your reps: 202-224-3121

ICE opened their detention center in Newark WITHOUT permission from the city, and in violation of state law. Mayor Ras Baraka has been fighting to close it down. RT this to THANK Mayor Baraka!

staffers are still cleaning up the Kristi Noem mess after she got gutted/filleted by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social this is A MOMENT. #MustWatch 🧢 @trumpfile.org

In a major win for voters, a federal court blocked Republican Judge Jefferson Griffin’s efforts to overturn the North Carolina Supreme Court election and disenfranchise thousands of voters.

The most corrupt administration [sic] in US history.

So that's what Big Balls did with the terabytes of data he stole from the National Labor Relations Board a few weeks ago.

This is an astoundingly good interview. The LA Port Director explains very clearly how profoundly trade is coming to a screeching halt. This summer will be tough.

The average American has three friends.

Rep Eric Swalwell walked out in *shock*—and who could blame him? Every single GOP member on the House Judiciary Committee just voted to let Trump “deport” American citizens. This is illegal, authoritarian, and unforgivable 🤬 Time to call, write, & protest before the full House votes.

Hell yes! It's like hearing a furlong-by-furlong call of the race between fascism and democracy .... instead of focusing on the evils of fascism itself.

Agree - excellent speech! As an American, I'll say - man, I miss competence!

Totally agree. I was a long-time supporter of ADL but this is a betrayal of what they used to stand for. They've lost their moral compass. I do hope they see the light at some point.

Gavin Newsom is wrong. Due process & the Constitution aren’t “distractions.” And if Democrats won’t fight to defend due process & the Constitution, then they don’t deserve to be in power.

The refusal by the Trump regime to provide Kilmar Abrego Garcia due process endangers every American's civil liberties www.americaamerica.news/p/due-proces...

Few of his cabinet are qualified, but Hegseth has always been obviously, monumentally unqualified for running an organization of any size and scale, much less DOD. And that’s *before* you get to his staggering unsuitability in judgment and character. Only 3 GOP sens said no. Make them own it.

We are gravely concerned that Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been subject to enforced disappearance. His deportation was unlawful. The denial of access to a U.S. senator, combined with propaganda by political figures, demands immediate proof of life. We urge international human rights bodies to act now.

Totally agree!

Thanks, Senator! @markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov Join the fight please!

open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa... @markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov As one of your constituents, I urge you to follow this battleplan ASAP.

This isn't a democracy. But this is a five-alarm fire for us, the people.

"Apparently"? You should absolutely go arrest those very real 25,000 people right now. You have their addresses. Go! In fact, if you *don't* find every one of these absolutely real fraudsters and convict them all in court, then that's clearly a sign of your utter failure in office.

This is why you never capitulate. This would be the end of Columbia university. It would be a testing ground for the direct fascist takeover of private universities by a dictator. www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

The fact that #SCOTUS hasn't yet ruled in Abrego Garcia isn't proof of *how* the justices are going to rule. But the longer it takes, the more it suggests that there isn't a majority of the Court who views this dispute with the same *urgency* that so many of us do. And that's a problem unto itself.

Destroy the rule of law, threaten and insult your allies, demonstrate that you have ZERO economic sense and... ...nobody wants to invest in your country. Result: Fiscal pressure and perhaps even crisis - on top of what Trump's already doing.
