NEW analysis by the Congressional Budget Office shows the "One Big Beautiful Bill" 1.) Makes the bottom 30% worse off 2.) Finances tax cuts that make the top 10% in particular better off. This is not shared sacrifice--it's a fiscal transfer from the bottom to the top www.cbo.gov/system/files...

currency of the realm in republican politics is a blithe contempt for life and indifference to suffering

It’s now Marxist to understand that the Constitution only authorizes Congress to impose tariffs.

IMPORTANT: David’s research shows even further the depth of the inhumanity at play with the imprisonment without trial of hundreds of men in El Salvador.

Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate ⚖️. Even GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the admin 72% of the time. District courts are doing their job defending the Constitution. Soon the Supreme Court may be the only court unwilling to defend the rule of law.

Do you guys think John Roberts has ever heard of the WITAOD movement?

BREAKING: Judge John Bates, a George W. Bush appointee, holds that Trump's executive order targeting Jenner & Block is likely unconstitutional — "doubly" — and will be blocked in full. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Judge Bates grants summary judgment to Jenner & Block, enjoining the executive order in full. Proud of my alma mater for standing up for what's right. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The very definition of evil is incarcerating for life in one of the worst hellholes on Earth men who did everything right. But it’s beyond evil—beyond demonic—to then not try to do anything to save the men you consigned to Hell, *and* to in fact libel and slander them daily when they cannot reply.

My morning commute was good. How was yours?

I'm starting to think there is no modern right wing. There's no goal, no ethos, no coherent philosophy. Therefore, no true movement. What we call "conservatism" now is the parasite-host relationship between conmen who pretend to be strong and manly, and the insecure illiterate rubes they grift upon.

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts. Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

Trump wants you dead.

i am currently reading jacob heilbrunn’s great book on the American right’s love affair with foreign dictators, and one thing that is very apparent is that these people have always celebrated racism. no backlash required.

NEW: The order to temporarily suspend military aid to Ukraine came from the office of Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth, taking the White House by surprise-Reuters.

I think Trump and his sycophants are going to move forward with a severe tariff regime. They're not getting much negative feedback from the right-wing media ecosystem. Republican elected officials are still deferring to Trump. Save your money. This will last awhile, the consequences will be severe.

So many of you wrote to me about my appearance on 60 Minutes and offered such kind words of support. Thank you.🙏 I hope you read this, consider how you can speak out as well, and share with others. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-t...

Proof this guy is full of SITH.

May the fourth be with you, Illinois.

UPDATE: Rachel Cohen @cohen489.bsky.social and Brenna Frey—two former Skadden associates who resigned over the law firm’s response to Trump’s executive orders targeting lawyers—are joining a new firm launched by Abbe Lowell, the high-profile criminal defense attorney who represented Hunter Biden.

Trump has ordered criminal investigations into more than 50 federal employees so far, including former intelligence officials, political rivals, and even members of his own administration. He has declared some “guilty of treason,”

He is just completely disconnected from the reality of how his policies impact average Americans, and he is surrounded my sycophants 24/7 who tell him that he’s the greatest, everything is perfect, and everyone loves him. He lives in a fantasy world.
