A MORAL CRISIS “The rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored. If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.” Take 3 minutes. This is important.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

With trump now defying the SCOTUS on returning an innocent human being from an El Salvadorian gulag we’ve forgotten about Signalgate, tariffs and that he’s a fucking adjudicated rapist.

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

The Israeli military struck and destroyed part of the Ahli Arab Hospital, a mainstay of Gaza’s decimated health care system, on Sunday. A child being treated for a head injury died because of the rushed evacuation, according to the Anglican Church in Jerusalem, which oversees the medical center.

One of the hallmarks of Trump, his admin, and abusers in general is they do a whole bunch of immoral/unethical/illegal stuff, which they escalate into something so egregious that people call for the most egregious crime to end, but become more lax and permissive around the other stuff.

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots. The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination. This should outrage every single Member of Congress.

I was a social security recipient from the age of 12 through 18. That’s not some weird thing or corruption. It’s called survivors’ benefits. You don’t have to know this. You’re blessed if you don’t. But if you’re going to speak publicly abt the program you need to know this.

My 10 year old sister and I got Social Security payments after my father died from exposure to Agent Orange. It helped my widowed mom when the family lost his income. He paid into it his whole life. They even took it from his check while he was serving in Vietnam. Jeanine can go fuck herself.

My family got these payments when my dad died at 34 years old after serving in the Navy for a decade from what he had paid in. I was five. Jeanine is an incurious ignoramus. Thanks @jessicatarlov.bsky.social for correcting her, which is God’s work.

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

And to top it all of, THIS AFTERNOON the House of Representatives is set to vote on a rule for the budget that would ALSO block any votes to stop these new tariffs in the House (i.e. the Meeks-Neal resolution) until the end of September. Scripts to tell them to fuck off (politely) here.
