If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

The authority to wage war rests with Congress. This impeachable action is the reckless behavior of a man granted near-total immunity who feels unleashed to do anything.

Here’s the thing. There are over 18,000 law enforcement agencies in the USA. Many of us have been tracking the right-wing capture of law enforcement for years and years. We’ve been talking about it. It’s well known.

If you took the $1.1 trillion earned by just 100 billionaires last year and mailed every household a check, it'd be $8,700 each. The thing is most billionaires don't actually pay taxes anymore. What the GOP bill is really doing is selling off public lands and cutting Medicare to pay off oligarchs.

The global aid sector is quite literally on the brink of death right now and the human fallout globally is already obscene and will keep getting much, much worse. People in the U.S. need to be far more aware of this - and angry - than they currently are.

If you live in the United States, you are in greater jeopardy today than you were 6 months ago. So is your family. So are your friends & neighbors. Virtually all the important parts of the U.S. government created to protect us are being shut down, gutted, or marginalized. — @djrothkopf.bsky.social

It was never about deporting violent criminals. If that were true, where are the examples? Trump would be shouting the victims’ names from the rooftops. What we’re actually seeing are heartbreaking videos of families torn apart by masked men who look more like white supremacists than ICE agents.

The first thing you need to know about Elon Musk is that he’s a liar. And like Donald Trump, he doesn’t lie to be believed. He lies to be repeated. He lies because it works. And he lies because when he’s caught, he generally suffers no discernible consequences.

Basically the musk story boils down to: immigrant on drug-fueled rampage massacres hundreds of thousands of innocents and robs your social security checks and Medicaid plans as law enforcement shrugs.

This should be seen as evidence of the crisis: federal judges fear that Trump will order U.S. Marshals to stand down on securing the safety of judges whose decision they don’t like. This is just devastating. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Phang: It’s time for federal judges to acknowledge that they have lifetime appointments—and that should give them the courage to uphold the rule of law, but also to put some damn teeth into the court orders they’re issuing. it’s time that we start seeing action from the judiciary. Grow some balls

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few: 1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

This one is largely on Democrats. They could easily make Stephen Miller the face of the administration — emphasizing how out of control Trump is and how far right the actual policies are, prompting the media to follow their lead — but they’re largely giving him a pass. It’s bizarre.
