I may be the only lawyer targeted by Trump willing to speak on camera, but for me it wasn't a choice. All of us have an obligation to speak out against what Trump is doing. All of us have an obligation to fight for democracy. I am fortunate to be a lawyer and to have a platform -- and I will use it.

Proof this guy is full of SITH.

Thousands of protesters made it out in the rain in New York City for the Hands Off! protest! Bravo, NYC!

đź’™ DC never disappoints. #handsoff

All these protests around the country are massive. Democracy ain’t dead yet.

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

there are like three overlapping scandals with signalgate — illegal distribution of sensitive government materials by top members of the administration, illegal attempt to circumvent records laws and possible unlawful use of military force — and democrats should be screaming about them all

In case you missed it: the Pentagon--that's Hegseth--got warned about using Signal a week ago.

Imagine if The Atlantic’s editor chose blackmail over journalistic integrity. There’s a lot of blackmail potential here. Isn’t that exactly why security clearances get denied?

#Hegseth back in the day: “If it was anybody other than #Hillary #Clinton they’d be in jail right now” “Not be reckless with dangerous things” “Snowden isn’t a hero he’s a traitor” Mmmhmmmm Y’all are gonna arrest yourselves now right? #RESIST

Anyone who thinks Pete Hegseth will resign doesn't understand TrumpWorld. They have no shame. They have no introspection. They have no respect for consequences.

Duckworth: "Hegseth is the most unqualified sec def in history & this is further demonstrating his incompetence. He's literally leaking classified war plans via group chat...if you're our allies, I'd be thinking twice about sharing classified information...All these people need to lose their jobs"

Ossoff: This was a huge a mistake Ratcliffe: No Ossoff: This is an embarrassment. We will get the full transcript of this chain and your testimony will be measured carefully against its content

This seems like an important datapoint

Holy shit. In a shocking unearthed video, Marco Rubio completely destroys Donald Trump for being a full of shit bully. Marco was hoping people would forget this…so don’t repost right now this very second!

US Supreme Court Weakens Rules on Discharging Raw Sewage Into U.S. Water Supplies www.ecowatch.com/supreme-cour...

BREAKING: Ontario’s terminating its $100-million deal with Starlink, and US companies will be barred from future contracts. They warned NY, Michigan, and Minnesota if the tariffs persist, Ontario will impose a 25% surcharge on electricity and may cut off the supply entirely.

This reality show premise of finding the dumbest MFer in the country and making him president isn’t going well. Season 1 sucked. Season 2 is much worse.

KEILAR: Can you guarantee that veterans benefits and care will not be affected by these cuts? REP. GREG MURPHY: No, I can't guarantee anything

A Federal Reserve bank is now projecting the US economy to shrink in Q1 of 2025 by even more than they projected last week. It was projected to grow when Biden was still in office.

NEW: A source tells me that response teams for FEMA set to deploy to the South Carolina wildfires are unable to travel because their government issued travel cards have had their limits reduced to $1. FEMA response team cards were supposed to be exempt.

Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.

He’s threatening the constitutional rights of Americans. He’ll eventually get to the 2nd one…

Dems should run this as a TV ad tonight

Gaetz is a sexual predator.

He didn't wear a suit, but he received a pardon and was treated better than Zelenskyy was.

My trousers stayed up and no one rushed the stage and slapped me, so all things considered… a pretty good night. #Oscars2025

Leaders of the free world stand united in London The United States is not among them

Pro tip - when the Kremlin is praising your foreign policy, you have the WRONG foreign policy.

Conan O'Brien on Anora having a great night at the Oscars: "I guess Americans are excited to see somebody finally stand up to a powerful Russian." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

🚨 BREAKING: Thirteen prime ministers and two presidents are attending today’s emergency Ukraine summit in London. America is no where to be found. American First is America Alone.

@meetthepress.com @facethenation.bsky.social Every time they mention, waste fraud and abuse, ask them why they fired the actual independent people that investigated waste fraud and abuse – the Inspector Generals ?

There’s nothing wrong with Billionaires having billions. There is something inherently wrong with billionaires cutting your benefits, and help to the poor through USAID, and running around with a chainsaw giggling. You can have power or billions. But we refuse to be an oligarchy

HAYES: “The United States siding with Putin against democratic allies will have massive consequences for global politics for decades to come.”

Zelensky stood up to Trump more in that 30 minutes than the entire Republican Party in the last 8 years… And that’s JUST A FACT!

Wow! What a great cover!

Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds. Gov Mills: See you in court

Oh my God if this is true

Former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe was arrested at a city council meeting after stating, “MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement. You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is,” before engaging in peaceful civil disobedience.

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.
