Being uninvited from the White House caused Rand Paul to lose a lot of the respect he had for Donald Trump that Trump’s two impeachments, insurrection, four criminal indictments, criminal conviction, and sexual abuse damages verdict did not cause him to lose. Got it.

I don't know who needs to hear this, and it will go over some heads, but we have a President who is obsessed with manufacturing chaos. If you pull your heads out of your asses long enough and realize that; the enemy is not you or I, it’s the one causing the disorder among us……….

This is so bad. The justices can’t both be the smart lawyers making the big decisions interpreting our laws and so incapable of choosing what words to say when announcing those decisions that the public can’t be trusted to hear them.

The DOJ just charged a Russian national with moving hundreds of millions through the system—mostly using a foreign stablecoin called Tether. The GENIUS Act includes a massive loophole that allows Tether to evade basic safeguards. It must not move forward without real fixes.

Sen. Rev. Raphael Warnock on Trump deploying troops to Los Angeles: “He is using the symbolism and the uniforms of our service members in a campaign to do what he's been doing for 10 years, and that is to convince us that we are at war with one another.”

The Trump's DOJ is paying $5 million to the family of a woman who got shot because she 1) trespassed on federal property; 2) tried to break into a closed chamber of federal officials; and 3) ignored law enforcement commands to stop. 🎶 just a reminder 🎶

Does everyone realize that America had to listen to MAGA bros whine and cry and sniffle and rend their garments over their made-up definition of free speech for TWO YEARS, just to have those same far-right snowflakes scream TEAR THEIR HEADS OFF!! the second everyday Americans came out to protest? 😡

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

Why is the AI company Nvidia pushing for a 10-year ban that'd stop states from putting in safeguards around AI? Because they want to shape the rules so they can make more money. This is just one more example of Nvidia putting its profits over consumers and national security.

Trump’s federalization of the CA National Guard under 10 USC § 12406 is illegal. The law requires that orders be issued “through the Governors of the States.” Gov Gavin Newsom has not issued the orders. Guard troops in LA are following unlawful orders. law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10…

Bonta: We brought a lawsuit today on behalf of the governor and the State of California, challenging as unlawful the president’s federalization of the National Guard.. The authority he relies on does not permit him to unilaterally call in the National Guard.

"On the trail, Trump declared he would deport massive numbers of 'criminal aliens.' When he came into office, however, he faced a problem: The vast majority of undocumented immigrants are law abiding. But he came up with an answer: Create fake crimes and thereby turn the law abiding into criminals."

Are Trump's actions in LA a distraction? @gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "A hundred percent. It's all about news cycles. Whatever he can to distract. I mean, disastrous economic policies... Even his his biggest sycophant in the country, Elon Musk, said likely a recession in the second half of the year."

The correct political tack here is NOT “oh good, maybe now we can get Elon to back some Democrats” It’s actually, “This convicted criminal sexual predator and his drug-addled Nazi billionaire just raped and robbed the US government and now they’re fighting over the loot.”

A billionaire who profits off the presidency is feuding with another billionaire who bought access to the government to line his own pockets. Neither should have ever been able to amass so much power. What we're witnessing is a failed experiment in billionaire governance.

Trump's abomination of a reconciliation bill is a deal to sacrifice the lives of 50,000 of us to pay for more luxury for billionaires. That's 50,000 deaths a year. 500,000 deaths a decade. Gives new meaning to the term "obscenely wealthy." The rich have put out a contract on the lives of the poor.
