This brought tears to my eyes. *This* is the demographic & background whose opinions we need to shift to turn the tide

From the 2024 presidential immunity oral arguments: "But the liberal justices voiced concern that by offering presidents a shield from prosecution, the court could turn the Oval Office into a “seat of criminality,” as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson described it."

There are some very bad stories going around about the Mahmoud Kahlil case. The hearing today was before an immigration judge — which is located within the Justice Department. They are NOT a "federal judge" in the sense that anyone reading at least one nationwide story saying so thinks of it.

Yeah so don't go on a cruise ever again if you were thinking about it.

Republicans just passed a budget that guts Medicaid, SNAP, veterans’ benefits, and free school lunches. They swore they'd fix the economy—but this sure as hell ain’t it.

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

Thanks to everyone who isn’t following me just because they are bounty hunters.

Vacation?! What does that even mean? My kid is 8 & we've never been on a real one. The restaurant owners I've worked for balk at paying servers the $11.79/hr minimum wage Colorado requires. The state started requiring they give us 40hrs a year of sick time but i don't even know how to use it

!! CALL TO ACTION !! #Booksky please join me in the fight to save our libraries. EveryLibrary is working hard to save the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), which is the federal agency charged with distributing Congressionally approved funds to state libraries and grant recipients.

Ahhh...he'll be eating his hat over these tariffs if we can block the atrocious budget his party proposed. My disabled kid's Medicaid vs tax cuts for billionaires & corporations...easy choice, for me

As a reminder, when Trump says he is putting massive tariffs on China, or any nation, that means he is putting a massive tax on YOU. China doesn't pay a single penny. You, the consumer, do.

This new White House executive order says that the US Attorney General is going to prevent states from implementing democratically passed laws regarding climate change and clean energy. It scarcely needs stating at this point that this is wildly, unambiguously unconstitutional. Dictator shit.

Yup!

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, in a letter shared with members, has requested a one-on-one debate on the House floor with Speaker Mike Johnson on the budget.

When people scream about the 25th Amendment l can’t help but think they don’t actually know who the VP is and who the cabinet members are. Have they seen the current Speaker of the House? Maybe folks should just do better in the ballot box and then they wouldn’t have to imagine crazy shit?

The FDA’s former vaccine chief has claimed that he was forced out of his role after refusing to allow Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his team unrestricted access to a sensitive and influential vaccine safety database.

😂😂😂

If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

This is the truth. Republicans could put an immediate end to this insanity. They own this.

This would be hard to explain if you had a time machine to visit 2010

The thing is that Congress still does have the means to stop him, you know. His party has to turn on him, it’s as simple as that. And then we could, you know, go back to understanding that having bad faith narcissist malevolent ignoramuses in charge is bad for everyone.

I know others have said this, but all this tomfoolery could end literally tonight if Congress had 1 ounce of its historical forebears’ gumption

Republicans in Congress can repeal every tariff tomorrow and take Trump’s tariff authority away from him. But they choose not to. So every Republican in Congress owns EVERY SINGLE BIT of this. You can’t hide from the voters forever.
