Trump treats immigrants from Mexico and Central and South America worse than we treated Germans and Japanese subject to the Alien Enemies Act in World War II. He is a monster, not just a tyrant.

This Paul Weiss capitulation is the most disgraceful action by a major law firm in my lifetime, so appalling that I couldn’t believe it at first. Any lawyers at that firm—partners or associates—who don’t promptly resign will defile their moral and professional reputations beyond repair.

This is one of the saddest capitulations I have ever seen. A law firm honored for its bravery has more than bent the knee and kissed the ring: it has paid the ransom demanded by Trump. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/u...

Trump today suggested it was dangerous for judges to issue court orders against his illegal firing of federal workers. But it will be far more dangerous – for our country and our democracy – for him to ignore them.

Welcome to autocracy. The Republic we have known for the last 240 years is gone. This is going to keep getting worse. Much worse. The courts mean nothing, the law means nothing, Congress is irrelevant. He is a malignant psychopath.

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

It is one thing to watch a dictator grab power. It is another to hand it to him. I’m headed to the Senate floor now. To cast an emphatic “no.”

It’s totally unacceptable, Elon Musk is giving Trump political operation ANOTHER $100 million as he giggles with a chain saw and cuts staff, veterans, and needed services. This is NOT what our founding fathers envisioned, an oligarchy in all but name.

Donold is now classifying protests at Tesla dealerships as ‘domestic terrorism.’ Protest at a Tesla dealership and you get arrested as a terrorist. But attack the Capitol and you get a pardon.

1/ This is wildly illegal. That is not a question on which reasonable legally informed folks can disagree. It doesn't fucking matter that he ran on doing illegal things. They are still illegal. And striking at Congress's power of the purse is worse than illegal. It's anti-constitutional.

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.

Pete Hegseth has gotten the Pentagon to scrub a photo of a B-29 Superfortress ‘The Enola Gay’ (named for the pilot's mother). It was the plane that dropped a nuclear bomb on Japan, but the pilot's mother's name was "Gay." We are not just a country being run by bigots, we are one run by stupid ones.

For all the TRUMP = STRONG propaganda this is exactly what his “leadership” was like in Covid. Constant zigging and zagging, self-contradictory, incapable of commitment, wanting to have it both ways. It was a disaster!

The reason why congressional Republicans are so upset about the SCOTUS ruling is because now they have to actually do their job and legislate on cuts to government spending that they claim to favor, when they would much rather prefer an unelected oligarch do it for them.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?
