Thank you & your crew of legal eagles!šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øšŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øšŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øšŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øšŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øšŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øšŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øšŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øšŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø

One thing this decision drives home—simply by reciting the facts—is that Ozturk was violently abducted with only the thinnest veneer of legality. I know we’ve all seen the video, but it’s also wild that her captors refused to let her speak with her lawyer for a full day. Looks like a kidnapping.

Xi Jinping has arrived in Moscow, Russian media report.

The Republican Police State. Coming to your state soon - if you don’t vote out every Republican on every ballot everywhere.

A MUST READ! This is what Stephen Miller, Trump & Republicans want for detainees.

Trump campaigned that he will prevent World War III. More nations are now fighting under his watch.

More evidence Republicans don’t give a damn about We The People - particularly needy people.

Miami Herald: Just weeks after Ron DeSantis' admin steered $10 million from a legal Medicaid settlement to a charity spearheaded by First Lady Casey DeSantis, the Hope Florida Foundation gave that same amount to two political groups favored by the DeSantises. www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

If Oct. 7 had never happened, Trump would right now be pulling funding from Columbia and Harvard because of DEI policies or admissions requirements or what research they were doing or all of the above. The right hates universities and that’s it.

Ed Martin, the acting US attorney for DC, has harassed medical journals with letters accusing them of acting as ā€œpartisansā€ in scientific debates. Those letters may have been inspired—even directed—by RFK Jr. @dfriedman.bsky.social reports:

Your School House Rock moment......

I’m not sure how Duffy can fix any of the issues with air travel when he’s on Fox 24/7 complaining about it and blaming other people. STFU for 5 minutes and do your job! This isn’t a reality TV show - people’s lives and livelihoods are in the hands of these unqualified dipshits.

Republicans have the keys to hold Trump accountable but they’re cowards & traitors unwilling to stand up for democracy & the constitution.

Trump & Republicans are traitors.

Must-read new Bloomberg analysis: Most of the top holders of Trump’s memecoin - who are vying for an ā€œintimate dinnerā€ with POTUS and a White House tour - are likely foreign. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Cruel Trump/Republicans want immigrants to suffer.

Don’t look away. This is what Libya’s migrant detention facilities look like. This is what Trump is doing. Amnesty International called Libya’s migrant detention centers a ā€œhellscape,ā€ where beatings and sexual violence are rampant and there are many reports of trafficking and even slavery.

There is always some thermostatic shifting with a new president but Trump may have persuaded both his own supporters and opponents not to trust public institutions

Trump’s path to Fascism.

Columbia University to lay off 180 researchers due to Trump administration funding cuts https://twp.ai/4inH87

What Netanyahu is doing is genocide - Full Stop.

Senator Adam Schiff’s hold on the execrable Ed Martin was a huge mitzvah for which history will give him credit — especially if the great Judge Boasberg ends up naming the US attorney for DC, a post that wields great power at a crucial moment in time.

#MAGAGOP

When asked if the United States should have a military parade to show off its might, President Eisenhower responded: ā€œAbsolutely not. We are the pre-eminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak.ā€

The dumbest thing about Trump's desire to manufacture dolls in the US is that many of the jobs would be bad ones: Connecting plastic body parts to torsos, attaching nylon hair, etc. I talked to toy industry people who laid this all out. Striking stuff: newrepublic.com/article/1949...

Promises made. Promises kept. Latinos for Trump - Go straight to El Salvador. No due process. Thanks for playing. Blacks for Trump - you’re DEI. DEI bad. Pro-Palestine for Trump - Gaza is being cleared out to make room for Trump resorts. You’re welcome. 🧵

Hegseth’s gotta go - NOW!

WTF is going on? Where’s Hegseth?

Trump Is Spooked by Putin’s Nuke Threats https://twp.ai/4inJre

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Elizabeth Warren just exposed a crypto scam where Trump and his family stand to make more than $60,000,000 from a $2 billion Saudi-Binance deal, where the purchase will use Trump’s coin. This MUST be exposed.

Hegseth’s gotta go - NOW!

What a walking national security problem this man is. Order By Hegseth to Cancel Ukraine Weapons Caught White House Off Guard "Top national security officials — in the White House, the Pentagon and the State Department — couldn’t provide answers."

WTF? India attacking Pakistan a la Putin’s attack on Ukraine.

Just noting - Trump is bragging about decorating the Oval Office in gold while telling America's kids to cut down on buying toys.

WE WILL RESISTšŸ’™šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øšŸ’™šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øšŸ’™

Reporter: I was watching your face during the meeting.. what was going through your mind when the President talked about erasing the border.. Carney: I’m glad that you couldn’t tell what was going through my mind Reporter: Oh I could

ā€œWe are not broken and we are not behind. We are being blocked from maximizing our full potential.ā€ #StateofthePeople www.theroot.com/black-papers...

A polite FU.

I joined Ali Velshi of MSNBC this morning and Ali’s first question was about the President’s jarring answer ā€œI don’t knowā€ to the question ā€œDon’t you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States as president?ā€

This is a shockingly mistaken understanding of due process by Stephen Miller. It is likely this misunderstanding that is informing the President’s misunderstanding.

ā€œOn Monday, Luttig told MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace that Trump's comments ā€˜are perhaps the most important words ever spoken by a president of the United States.’ He added that the story is ā€˜one of the most important stories of our times.ā€™ā€ www.rawstory.com/trump-consti...

So Trump wants law firms that caved to him to start defending dirty cops now

Good for @microsoft.com (and Jenner&Block). Print headline even more pointed: "Msft Drops Firm That Settled" Reminder for Simpson Thacher / Paul Weiss / world at large: Appeasing bullies does not pay off. Govt in Beijing well aware of this in trade negots. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/b...

ā€˜Interesting there’s no mention of Baron. Isn’t he involved in crypto?

But Hunter Biden! www.nytimes.com/2025/05/05/u...
