Why I'm glad Judge Dale Ho appointed an amicus curiae in the Eric Adams case today: www.muellershewrote.com/p/judge-dale...

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

So Pierre Poilievre is trying to brand Mark Carney, well regarded as one of the smartest and most ethical economic experts in the world, as “sneaky” in new ads. Seriously. Even if he wasn’t obviously wanting so badly to be Trump with the immature name-calling and such… …it’s just so amateurish.

Like, I know we've always been the "bad guy" in some shape of form, but we are unquestionably the super villain on the global stage.

Republican senators are traitors to the international order that has kept this country safe for the better part of eighty years. They are traitors to their own constituents. They are traitors to everything that has actually made America great.

This is, in no uncertain terms, a rout. The New York Times published an unfortunate op-ed trying to legally justify Trump administration's #Birthright citizenship order. Here, five leading scholars show, with analytic precision, how that op-ed was "fundamentally flawed and irresponsible."⬇️

Justice Connection, an organization that supports DOJ employees facing "unprecedented attacks," made public an open letter praising prosecutors who resigned or whose jobs were threatened over the Eric Adams case. It was signed by more than 850 ex-federal prosecutors. Among the signers: Jack Smith.

“In one of the most astonishing political transformations in the history of democracy,” Hitler destroyed “a constitutional republic through constitutional means,” writes Timothy W. Ryback. Read about how Hitler overcame democracy in just 53 days:

This is generous as Zelenskyy can be. What's obviously going on is Trump and Putin are spit-roasting him and proving every one of us who've been screaming about Trump/Russia for about a decade now 1000% correct.

❗️Asked whether he thought 🇷🇺Russian President Putin could be trusted in negotiations, 🇺🇸Republican Senator Roger Wicker, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said: “No. Putin is a war criminal who should be in prison for the rest of his life, if not executed.”

Trump spent millions in tax payer dollars today for photo ops at the Daytona 500 as storms in Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia killed at least 8 people, injured many more, and caused total devastation…Oh yea, Trump wants FEMA abolished. youtu.be/_yqIudpInQM?...

The people who made the tv show “The Apprentice” have more to answer for every single day.

Just saw the chairman of the Munich Security Conference break down in tears. He knows we will all be at war before 2028. Europe knows war. They can see the conditions falling into place. So many Americans are so naive & ignorant about the danger they have put the entire planet into.

A new law signed by Gov. Spencer Cox of Utah prohibits unions from negotiating wages and other terms for teachers, firefighters, police officers and all other public employees, joining just two other states that have banned collective bargaining in the public sector.

This is fascism.

Today would be a good day for Pierre Poilievre to prove to Canadians that he’s actually capable of passing the same, standard, normal security check and getting the security clearance he’s refused to get. Until he does, I’m assuming it’s because he knows that, for some reason, he can’t pass it.

After America's collapse into shambles January 20th, EU president Ursula von der Leyen could be called the true leader of the free World. Her speech at the Munich summit is a low key, yet impressive speech, full of sanity. It brings hope during these difficult times 🇸🇪🫶🇪🇺 #EU youtu.be/l4ht1AF25OY?...

From December 21st. And with the threat to Canada getting bigger every single day since, Canadian media are still not making Poilievre’s dangerous security clearance dodge a nearly big enough story. No person should hold power without proving they can pass a normal security clearance process.

A friend posted that she is "micro-dosing hope" these days—savoring small victories and delighting in tiny moments of joy as an antidote to this toxic timeline (see: Cabinet appointees, sociopaths). Here’s something that lifts me up. Share what helps you stay grounded in their hateful turbulence.
