He is admitting that he doesn’t want lawyers to stop him from breaking the law. No one would stop him from issuing lawful orders, so this has to be about unlawful ones.

“In some ways that’s even more chilling than firing the four stars,” Rosa Brooks, a professor at Georgetown Law. “It’s what you do when you’re planning to break the law: you get rid of any lawyers who might try to slow you down.” By NYT Greg Jaffe www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

I’ve been targeted for death in a bomb threat received at the Principles First Summit where I spoke today. To be clear, I’ve been threatened by far more capable people during my career. It won’t stop my advocacy for democracy and the Constitution: x.com/Acosta/statu...

United States support for Ukraine was never about securing mineral rights. Or providing security for money. It was about democracy and sovereignty. And a willingness to defend our allies and oppose our enemies. Trump is betraying Ukraine, but also our values. Our history and our legacy.

Remember when Senator Banks attacked a president who wasn’t engaged in litigation against almost half a dozen press outlets and stayed silent against one who was?

Good morning. We have a very bad man in the White House. A cruel, ignorant liar & tyrant. A man who’s 💯 compromised by Putin. A man who is the very thing our Founders feared. It is our duty, it is our calling, as free citizens in this democracy to resist this man & everything he stands for. Rest up.

Can’t help but be reminded of the words of Russell Vought, now head of OMB: “We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected because they are increasingly viewed as villains. We want to put them in trauma.”

A really important email from my friend Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social . As he says "this is a 5 alarm fire." America is under attack right now.

I'm dumb. I can't figure out how to end world hunger. But I do promise that I will continue to change healthcare in this country and make it more affordable, possibly setting a path towards Universal Healthcare.

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

Rep. Fitzgerald was booed by his own voters at a town hall after trying to defend DOGE's mass layoffs by referencing "waste, fraud, and abuse". Turns out, they’re not buying it.

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

Kash Patel can't do the job of FBI Director. He's patently unqualified. Those who vote for his confirmation will be accountable for the destruction he does to the nation's top law enforcement agency and to the rule of law.

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees with General Milley that Americans do not owe our allegiance to a King, Queen, or a wannabe dictator. We owe our allegiance to the Constitution. Fuck the nonsense trump says about being a king.

I lost my mother to Alzheimer’s. I’ve worked my entire career to help researchers find the cure. Musk, Trump, and their Republican enablers would rather use that money for billionaire tax breaks. Shame.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

President Zelenskyy tears down Trump's lies; states that Trump lives in a Russian Disinformation bubble: "The U.S. has provided Ukraine with $67 billion in military aid and $31 billion in budget support. .... Trump’s $500 billion fossil fuel claim isn’t a serious conversation." #StandWithUkraine 📹🧵

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children. We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread. www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-m...

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.
