This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

“The reason we’re here is because the government of the United States wants you to leave the United States,” an immigration judge told a group of about a dozen children on a recent morning, including a 4-year-old girl, squeezing her pink plushy toy.

Harris: We are in the midst of seeing progress being rolled back, policies that we birthed, being rolled back, the terms that we used for what is progress in America being turned into a pejorative? Intended to deny the facts. And to deny smart policy…

Just watched the President's "Liberation Day" speech. Based on this, I can confirm many Americans will be liberated from: - Being able to afford groceries - Much of their retirement savings - Any hope of buying a home As for lower prices? Just the opposite.

The lesson from this whole Signalgate catastrophe? This administration will never, ever take responsibility for their mistakes, even when they endanger people. Especially when they endanger people. And it's the American people who will suffer.

Ossoff: He’s so consumed by his efforts to secure revenge, crush his enemies, and conquer Greenland that he’s doing nothing for the people who elected him. His entire domestic agenda is tax breaks for the wealthy, rounding up immigrants, revenge, and centralizing as much power as he can..

The founder of Signal releases a response to SignalGate: “There are so many great reasons to be on Signal. Now including the opportunity for the vice president of the United States of America to randomly add you to a group chat for coordination of sensitive military operations.”

Texted LITERALLY WAR PLANS

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Collins: Do you think someone should be fired over this? Buttigieg: Absolutely… if there’s not accountability for a screw up like this, especially from a president who used to fire people on television for sport, what are we even doing here..

🚨 “This isn’t just a screw-up—it’s the kind of breach that could get American Troops killed.” Pete Buttigieg lays it out: Anyone else in the military would face serious consequences for a failure like this. But Hegseth’s still running the Pentagon—and that should terrify all of us.

Pete Hegseth never should have been tapped for this job. It's too important. He should be fired immediately.

DNC Chair @kenmartin.bsky.social: As a Minnesotan, Pete Hegseth is the worst export Minnesota has ever seen. He needs to either resign or be fired.

This current administration cannot keep us safe. There is absolutely no reason to cut corners with national security measures. Some of those folks know better, but went along with it anyway. Yet they want to criminalise people who criticise their decisions. Insane.

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred. immigrantjustice.org/sites/defaul...

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.
