This is extremely, extremely bad. Our legal system cannot function if the govt retaliates — and if courts allow it to retaliate — against lawyers who take matters the govt disfavors.

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

It's not his instincts most people are concerned about. It's the blatant lies that are more troubling.

Please share this fact sheet on Ukraine with anyone who needs it understandingwar.org/backgrounder...

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.

This is why we need independent media outlets funded by the public. Our Byline Times story is still available to read despite attempts to suppress it.

Lady in stripes, "UK should do more to unite Europe" "Recent polls show only 30% of Brits support Brexit, maybe it's time to reverse the process and make Europe stronger" Fiona Bruce, "Wow, you want to re run Brexit"

pmsl lol

Fascist open season. They’re no longer hiding it, are they?

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you’re under absolutely no obligation to justify yourself to anyone if you decide to spend the weekend reading and eating croissants.

Translation: That’s a nice country you’ve got there. Would be a shame if something happened to it.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

When Rupert Murdoch’s rags turn on you …

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

We’re in a timeline where I agree with Mike Pence 🤯

I so want to witness that! 🤣🤪😜😝😋

I saw the below tweet just after I read this one:

Donald Trump just announced a credo… …that is so obviously stupid, dangerous and anti-constitutional… …that no one with a brain will be surprised, but it might just puncture through to the skulls of some US Republicans with their thick-boned heads still deep in the sand.

I love this cat.

Schrödinger's free speech Europe is backsliding on free speech And You can't call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of Mexico or we'll cancel you.

Thanks Trump voters for destabilising the whole world! 😫 Are you particularly stupid and gullible? Or worse - evil, self -interested fanatics? Let’s hope the gullible ones eventually realise they’ve been conned and they turn on him 🙏🙏🙏

Insurrectionist supporter, Vance, lectures European leaders on democracy. Who the hell do these people think they are? They supported a violent coup to overthrow a democratic election in their own country, pardoned the guilty and now lecture us? Unbefuckinglievable. And yet also, tragically, not.

Is this the US speaking or Russia? Thank you for the lessons, Mr Vance, but if you speak of democracy while supporting Europe's far right, you have no legitimacy. #MSC www.politico.eu/article/us-v...

Wow.

Who’s the deep state now? This is Saturday Night Massacre level shit—Manhattan’s top federal prosecutor and five other senior officials resigned Thursday rather than obey a Justice Department order to drop corruption charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams.

Historically, legally and generally clueless.

Thrice married, adulterous, convicted felon claims to be all about Christianity. No publisher would accept this - it is far too implausible.

Plese share.

REPORTER: Is there an acting FAA director? DUFFY: *walks away* (The FAA director resigned on the day of Trump's inauguration under pressure from Elon Musk)

Donald Trump 47 is already the second most unpopular President in history. Beaten only by Donald Trump 45.
