Frost: You want to talk about courts but the highest court in the land told Donald Trump what to do. Facilitate him coming back to the country. And guess what they did? They flipped the bird to the supreme court. That is not the rule of law

There was a time in the recent past when being a 9/11 truther would've been seen as disqualifying for a U.S. senator. Ron Johnson appears to know that this time is apparently over, and he can expect to get away with peddling fringe 9/11 conspiracy theories. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

The United States of America had THE BEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD when Trump took office. www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...

Social Security is OUR money– we make contributions with every paycheck. Our earned benefits will not be used as a personal piggy bank for greedy billionaires!

The most staggeringly corrupt administration in American history. It's far worse than anyone knows.

The lies Pam Bondi and Stephen Miller just told about Abrego Garcia on national TV... ...I have no words for them. I am sick of calling things obscene or deranged. These are obviously evil people charting an obviously evil course for our country. The idea of Hell was devised for people like this.

To everyone who told me to “calm down” in 2016 - The sociopathic sexual predator business fraud felon you put back in the office he tried to steal just stood in the White House & said that he wants to send American citizens to concentration camps in El Salvador. So, fuck you.

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury. This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

We haven’t reached bottom yet. Because there is no bottom to his moral depravity.

Deporting America citizens to a foreign gulag seems…dictatory.

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

What we all just witnessed had all the earmarks of a criminal conspiracy to deprive Abrego-Garcia of his constitutional rights, as well as an impeachable offense. The fraud scheme was a phony agreement engineered by the US to have Bukele say he lacks power to return Abrego Garcia and he won't do it.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

Attention, Musk — and your sidekick, too. We are the OPPOSITION, and we will NOT be intimidated. We do not fear you — WE DESPISE AND REJECT YOU. We are a massive, glorious force — tens of millions strong. Hands Off! demands an immediate end to the billionaire power grab. HANDS OFF!

By nearly every metric, Bidenomics was a roaring success. It would be a mistake to ignore or forget the lessons that can be gleaned from the administration’s robust economic policy. Published December 17, 2024:

BREAKING: Trump's National Security Advisor Mike Waltz used GMAIL to discuss NATIONAL DEFENSE INFORMATION. That's LESS SECURE than Hillary's private email server. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

One person stepping up and and meeting the moment is the kind of courage we need in this moment. If we do only what we’ve been doing, nothing is going to change. @booker.senate.gov is showing us a different path 👊🏻🇺🇸🔥

PUTIN PUPPET TRAITOR TRUMP will try ANYTHING to undermine & destroy our Constitution, our Rights, our Freedom for his own fascist power-mongering and GREED. Felon, rapist, fraud, insurrectionist traitor POS Trump want's a Russian style crony capitalist, corporate fascist authoritarian dictatorship.

Breaking: Trump’s National Security Advisor Michael Waltz and his team used their personal Gmail accounts for work, including to handle sensitive military positions and powerful weapons systems.

It’s well known that I was on The Apprentice. We were all covered by NDAs at the time, but mine has now expired. And do I ever have some tea to spill. I’ll post it later today after consulting once again with my attorneys.

#Wisconsin Susan Crawford is the choice for your kids, your community and your state. Elon Musk has bought and paid for her opponent, he won’t stand up for you, but she will. Make a plan, make time and make a difference and vote Susan Crawford today for #WISupremeCourt #DemVoice1

Good morning to all who voted for and everyone who supported Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris. ✊ 💙 ✊ #Hillary #JoyfulWarriors

If there's just God, Tom Homan and Kristi Noem are going to the Hague.

Today, April 1st, in NYC: I am honored to be delivering the annual Robert B. Silvers lecture at the NYPL. The topic will be: "The New Paganism: A Framework for Understanding Our Politics." Livestream registration is available: www.showclix.com/event/timoth...

I was ripped to shreds on #CNN for standing up for the safety of the American military before Hegseth was hired. Told I was a “disgrace” who should be “ashamed of myself”, berated through the commercial break and threatened with defamation. Look where we are now.

Just a straight-up, brazen, demonstrable lie from the Vice-President of the United States. They have no shame and they seem to be able to get away with it too. Abrego Garcia is not a ‘convicted MS-13 gang member.’ This is flat false from Vance.

Quid Pro Quo is what Musk and his million dollar giveaways are... and illegal!~ What is disturbing is the Wisconsin courts did not interfere...refused to. WHY? How much were they paid? #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntds...

GOTV WISCONSIN! Don’t sit this out! The very success of your children & the integrity of your Supreme Court is on your shoulders. But- it’s not too great of a burden to get out there and vote! Don’t get doged! Do the state proud! #ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue

💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙 #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #ResistanceUnited

Hey folks! If you're in Florida and Wisconsin today, GET OUT AND VOTE!

#ProudBlue Trump's priority is enriching himself. It's even higher priority than punishing his enemies, which is saying a lot. Here's Ithe proposal. If you hear him speak of "lowering tax burdens," these are the burdens he has in mind.

Trump, like all despots, fears nothing so much as the truth. He and his inner circle know that independent thinking and the courage to doubt pose the greatest danger to them. So they are waging a war on truth and knowledge with roots deep in the past. davidrothkopf.substack.com/p/putting-de...

WISCONSIN VOTE FOR JUDGE SUSAN CRAWFORD FOR THE SUPREME COURT. IF YOU’RE NOT A WISCONSIN RESIDENT PLEASE SHARE THIS POST!! THANK YOU AND HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY! 💙

Everyone needs to understand what Elon and DOGE are building, an AI driven panopticon that will know everything about you and will be used to ensure compliance with their fascist agenda. They are creating a unified database of everything the federal government has on every single American. 🧵1/

Ah, yes -- the ol' "head in the sand" vaccine.

“Beautiful thing to watch.”

Elon Musk handed a $1M check to Nicholas Jacobs who looks a lot like Nick Jacobs, Chairman of the Wisconsin College Republicans, a Junior at the University of Wisconsin — who locked his X account. The second winner is Ekaterina Diestler, whose TikTok account is now private.

America has never been subject to this level of authoritarianism, and quite frankly, sheer incompetence. Out of the ashes, this moment should radicalize us to embark on an era of new reform — of our economy, our democracy, and our commitment to social justice and the law.

Wisconsin. Get out and VOTE tomorrow. Vote for Susan Crawford. #YourVoteIsYourVoice #WisconsinVotes

📍 Mequon Brad Schimel led the charge to ban abortion, even hiring a top deputy that developed the strategy to overturn Roe v. Wade. Let’s reject Schimel on Tuesday.

🚨BREAKING: Federal court rules that the Pennsylvania date requirement for mail-in ballot violates the First and 14th Amendments. Counties cannot reject ballots from counting undated and wrongly dated mail-in ballots. A HUGE victory for my law firm, our clients DSCC and DCCC and the voters of PA!

Judge Susan Crawford has spent her career protecting the rights of all Wisconsinites. Over the years, she’s fought to defend abortion access, healthcare, and workers’ rights—and now, she’ll be a fair, common-sense voice Wisconsin deserves on the state Supreme Court. Vote for her by April 1st!

Writers at SNL super sad because this was going to be their skit. prospect.org/politics/202...

Wisconsin residents are receiving text messages from a (202) D.C. area code, falsely urging them not to vote in the upcoming election. These messages are not legitimate.

@nedprice.bsky.social: "The irony of this is that Jeffrey Goldberg probably did more than all of these supposed custodians of our national security combined to protect our national security by reporting on this. If this gets them to stop this practice, that is to our collective national benefit."
