What has DOGE been up to lately? Defense of due process is important, maybe the most important, and resisting the Trump extortion machine is also important, and the economy is important, but we must keep the spotlight on what DOGE is doing too. We can handle many spotlights.

Our secular Democracy implicitly grants religious freedoms to all. A good thing. But if you're Christian and want to vote into law tenets of Christianity, you open the possibility of a different religious majority in the future out-voting you, instituting their laws instead.

SCOTUS ruled that the Trump administration had to “facilitate and effectuate” the return of A. Garcia, but courts can’t interfere in foreign affairs. So disappearing someone is part of foreign affairs? Likely Trump won’t do anything since no deadline. Weak ass shit from SCOTUS. Not surprised.

I heart @brooke — telling a suicide bomber who blew up the economy due for no reason that he is brilliant is peak beta chode for Ackman.

There has been a lot of attention on the Signal scandal, which is important. But the greater danger to our Republic is the unlawful kidnapping of people by ICE (for now). When will DHS, the FBI, or local police just decide to “detain” someone without providing ID, probable cause, and warrants?

They didn’t detain her, they kidnapped her. No ID of any kind. Just masked men dragging a woman off the street to who knows where. Why would law enforcement officers act this way? apnews.com/article/tuft... Turkish student at Tufts University detained, video shows masked people handcuffing her

A quick question: Was the Boston Tea Party an act of domestic terrorism? If so, should we stop lauding their actions?

I have a question for America. “Do you feel better off now than you did four months ago, or one year ago?”

@schumer.senate.gov Time to resign. You specious argument for voting for cloture, and the CR I presume, shows that you aren’t competent to be the Minority Leader.

I think these truths are self-evident: 1. USA is stronger and safer with international partners and allies. 2: USA has prospered under the post WWII world order. 3. USA is a stronger and safer when it’s acts in accordance with its values and not just greed and self-interest.

What would happen to Elon’s government contracts if the Republicans don’t pass a funding bill this year. How will he get paid if we have shutdown?

Who agrees with Veronica Escobar that instead of pushing through the Tax Scam, we should be looking into Elon Musk's federal contracts or the fossil fuel subsidies?

READ Danielle Sassoon's letter to AG Pam Bondi, via @nytimes.com: "Rather than be rewarded, Adams's advocacy should be called out for what it is: an improper offer of immigration enforcement assistance in exchange for a dismissal of his case." static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...
