If members of the press are worried they didn’t give enough coverage to the cognitive decline of a sitting president, they have an amazing opportunity to make up for it right now.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

Kilmar Garcia was mistakenly deported. The WH mistakenly sent a demand letter to Harvard. A US citizen was mistakenly arrested and held by ICE in Florida. ... these aren't mistakes. They're tests.

Raskin: There are some people who are so rich and equip themselves with battalions of lawyers that they feel that the law doesn't apply to them, they can get away with anything. That's a major threat to the rule of law.

Raskin: The president derives his powers only either from the Constitution explicitly or from an act of Congress and Congress certainly has never given the president the power to relocate prisoners to foreign countries and there's nothing in the constitution that remotely vests that power…

If Lloyd Austin had sent sensitive information about strikes in Yemen to an encrypted group chat that included his wife and brother, Republicans would be calling for his fucking head.

Intuit donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He's now planning to end the free IRS Direct File program. Apple donated $1M. Trump exempted most of Apple’s imports from tariffs. Coinbase donated $1M. Trump’s SEC dropped a major lawsuit against them. See how this works?

National security ain’t supposed to be a family affair, but apparently Pete Hegseth missed that memo. Leaking classified military plans—TWICE—the second time on a personal Signal chat to friends and family? That man has no business being Defense Secretary. He’s a threat, not a leader.

This isn’t a plan to raise birthrates, it’s a plan to give money to people already having lots of kids, primarily religious families. A singles and small families to big families transfer. A plan to help people who want kids have them would address healthcare, not give a one-time $5k check per baby.

The reason Republicans wrongly believe the Hands Off protestors are paid is because Republican donors ABSOLUTELY pay protestors to show up at school board meetings and pay people to attend Trump events.

1. Call it what you will, detailed military strike plans were discussed. 2. If such plans were not classified, that is a separate security failure. 3. If that guidance allows such use of a commercial app, that is yet another serious national security failure.

I'd like to remind you, Russia's GDP is smaller than Italy and Texas. Their millitary has been decimated by this war. Trump gave all the cards to a nation with very little chips left to play... His intelligence knows this, as does Europe's and yet he still was on Russias side.

When Russia privatized its old Soviet assets, they mostly went to a small number of oligarchs who still monopolize their respective industries 35 years later. I guess “efficiency” means America will streamline its oligarchy to one. www.theverge.com/news/614078/...
