This is all insane. We literally lost service members because they refused to stop saving Afghan allies waiting at the perimeter. They died to save just one more and now the government intends to ship them back to be killed. It’s sick. It’s should infuriate every American including MAGA veterans.

NEW: the U.S. Army and military posted a net loss of $1.99 trillion in fiscal year 2024, mainly due to the fact the military and defense are a “public good” that benefit all Americans, according to economists everywhere and federal government numbers.

I think a lot about CJ Roberts writing this in 2024: "The dissents' positions in the end boil down to . . . fear mongering on the basis of extreme hypotheticals about a future where the President 'feels empowered to violate federal criminal law.'"

Lawyers who've chosen to represent Donald Trump in his criminal appeal invoke the hoary principle that defendants are entitled to counsel, and to due process. Yet their client, the President, is punishing lawyers for representing his "enemies," and attacking judges for affording them due process.

If Bill Clinton raped girls on Epstein’s island or other properties, he should rot in prison for the rest of his life. If Donald Trump raped girls on Epstein’s island or other properties, he should rot in prison for the rest of his life. That wasn’t so difficult, was it?

Going to regret this but.. Some of this is undoubtedly antisemitism. And a lot of this is anti-Israel, anti-war/war crimes rhetoric that is heated but in a way that reflects the horrors on the ground. As a Jew, I find the unrelenting equating of the two to be some of the most harmful antisemitism.

This is "I Put Up Tariffs" 🎶- perhaps the first ever parody song (?) to make reference to the Smoot-Hawley Act of 1930. It's based on #BobMarley's legendary "I Shot the Sheriff" and sung from the point of view of #Trump, unleashing his frenzy of #tariffs on the USA & the world. youtu.be/_DyNjjSxO8s

Today Donald Trump attacked me by name in a speech at the Department of Justice. Of course I am worried, but courage comes from acting in spite of being worried. I have made my choice: I will continue to speak out, I will continue to litigate, I will continue to stand tall. I will never bow down.

If we don't have free speech, we don't have a democracy. That's what's at stake with the detention of Mahmoud Khalil. Protecting unpopular speech from government sanction is vital because any speech can become unpopular. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03...

The White House, not even DHS, the White House itself apparently, is directly deciding which permanent residents should be detained and deported based on their political speech. If this doesn’t scare you about the state of our democracy and liberties, I don’t know what will.
