Spoken like a true dictator.

JD Vance's remarks here at the Munich Security Conference were an attack on our allies and a gift to the Kremlin. Exactly the wrong message right now.

If you’ve ever taken the oath to uphold the Constitution, this is the time to live up to it.

Oh, good grief. Do Republicans just stay up late at night dreaming these things up, instead of working for the American people?

This was always Trump’s plan. Art of the Steal.

Love it.😄🤣😄

As people are trying to understand how courts enforce their orders, this DOJ Org Chart may come in handy. The courts don’t have their own enforcement agency. The US Marshal’s Service is part of DOJ.

Bringing my pinned Tweet along with me as I migrate here because this still matters & because we cannot normalize what Trump intends to do to DOJ. Justice should never be a political tool for presidents & their pals.

This is particular move any two bit law prof can recognize and it is a trap. We can imagine hypotheticals that raise hard questions and the result might be constitutional crisis. But the sitting president is right now claiming power to disregard federal law across the board — this is not a hard one.

The moment we say it's ok to violate the law to shut down one agency – we say it's ok to violate the law to shut down anything.

Elon Musk wants to shutter the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, an agency that oversees corporate malfeasance and efforts to rip off consumers. As the CEO of some of America’s largest corporations, Musk wants to give corporate America a license to steal … from you.

Trump & Musk are making massive cuts to the National Institutes of Health. I know there is a lot going on right now, but this is one of worst things they have done so far, will affect cancer research and trials, the search for cures, innovation and competitiveness, our universities. Your lives.

Two lawyers, one Yale educated, one Harvard educated; one the VP, one a senator, suggesting that decisions made by courts aren’t legitimate if they don’t like the outcome. This is dangerous territory.

Liberals created Musk’s wealth with which he tries to crush liberals.

BREAKING: Lots of good news for the courts (and plaintiffs counsel) standing up for the rule of law.

This #BlackHistoryMonth let’s celebrate trailblazing American #biochemist Marie Maynard Daly (1921-2003), 1st Black woman to earn a PhD in #chemistry in the US! 🧪🐡👩🏾‍🔬 #histsci She made important research contributions to the biochemisty of the cell nucleus & cardiovascular issues & our knowledge of 🧵

It’s hard to overhype how dangerous this moment is. This a naked attempt to seize government by the right wing billionaire class so they can steal from the American people.

Why does China get lighter tariffs than Mexico or Canada? Why is USAID - the agency countering China's global influence - being shut down illegally? Follow the money. Musk and his SV bros will do anything - even pledging allegiance to socialism - to make $$ in China.
