Here's how I'm commemorating 100 days of Trump--with my 100th legal action👇 That includes cases, significant motions, arguments, regulatory & ethics complaints, major legal reports & much more. My colleagues & I & the democracy movement have met his "flood the zone" with rule of law shock and awe!

Imagine having an acute & conscious awareness of how it is to feel emotional, psychological & physical pain, knowing that this holds true for other sentient animals, & yet still, ignominiously making decisions that cause incalculable suffering to 100s of billions of sentient individuals.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Growing number of experts say that Trump is providing Russia with intelligence against Ukraine. Russian forces in Kursk miraculously had extremely precise coordinates for Ukrainian troop locations, logistics and ammo depots in Kursk after Trump cut off aid. A day before Russia was on the back foot.

From The Atlantic interview w Elissa Slotkin: "After her speech, the senator... headed down the street to a Teamster bar, and Slotkin told me the highest praise they hoped to hear from the owner and his patrons was: 'That sounded pretty normal.'" Huh, that about says it all.

This current Social Security riff by Trump is completely debunked 100% total made-up BS. No president has EVER lied this baldly from the podium. And Vance, Johnson, and the whole GOP just nod and go along with it.

US Rep Al Green removed by Trump's Nazi while others sat and watched or jeer at him. He stood up to Trump and told him he had no mandate to disrupt Medicaid for millions of people. Make a list of which politicians you are going to keep. So far it's a short list. #3E #SOTU
