America was founded on the basic protection against unlawful imprisonment. Due process is a fundamental right in our constitution. Denying it or defending those who deny it is unamerican and illegal.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

We are so lost! The idea that "laws and the courts will save us" has no meaning when dealing with a monster who believes in neither.

I don’t want to sound like an alarmist but.. We Americans don’t have much time left to stop this. There won’t be a constitution left to save.We need to dismantle this movement and restore faith in democracy. It needs to be a cohesive multi- front resistance. And it needs to happen NOW.

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

Imagine being a small business with debt, that you used to import products you had manufactured in china. In the time it took to make the products, tariffs were added, that more than doubled your cost. They are crushed Are there any states offering support for their businesses ?

Mahmoud Khalil and Kilmar Abrego Garcia have become symbols in a larger struggle for the soul of America. Their fight to remain in the country–and how our justice system chooses to respond–foreshadows the kind of nation we are becoming. #Velshi

The President of the United States engaged in insider trading, and laughed about it. He is not exempt from the law. Where the fuck is Congress?

I thought Jan. 6th was a deal breaker. I thought all of his moral shortcomings was a deal breaker. The constant lying would be a deal breaker. His ties to Russia was a deal breaker. I thought for sure him embracing nazism would be a deal breaker. Then I realized there are no deal breakers in a cult!

pro tip: if your government claims to have no money for children's heathcare but will eagerly waste millions on a gaudy military parade to stroke the fragile ego of a broken-inside president, you just might live in a shithole country

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens. The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago. Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

I’ve been around politics for nearly 50 years, trying my best to stand up for the little guy. But my generation of Baby Boomers failed to stop the bullies. In my new memoir, Coming Up Short, I examine what went wrong — and what our children can do to build a better America.

Some pardoned Jan. 6, 2021 defendants should be reimbursed for the restitution they paid for Capitol repairs, the Department of Justice said in a court filing Tuesday. How fucked up is that! There was 2.7 million in damage.

What some people aren’t factoring into their analysis is the reality that companies were buying tons of inventory to beat the tariffs. That’s cash taken from being able to invest or hire. In fact the probably cut costs and jobs as a result. #econsky

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

I can’t possibly vote for a bill that would burden our children with additional trillions in debt to give a tax break to billionaires. This is irresponsible and reprehensible. It’s sad that this is what Republicans stand for.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Crockett: "If we are gonna talk about efficiency, let's talk about the fact that as of March 30, Trump's golfing has cost us approximately $26 million. And the last time I checked, we're not getting anything in return for that ... he decided he was going to golf instead of receiving four heroes."

Pundits hate simplicity. If something is simple you don’t have to have pundit expertise to explain it. Trump Cabinet now has a public record as the stupidest Cabinet in history. This isn’t complicated. They are stupid rich people. Any analysis that doesn’t begin with their stupidity is stupid.
