Yes. We keep writing headlines that assign powers to the president that he does not have.

#HouseGOP #SenateGOP own DOGE and the destruction of our democratic institutions, severe pain inflicted on federal employees, gutting public health and NIH programs, and supporting gestapo tactics on US citizens. Hold them and trump accountable. #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

When confronted by Trump, so many people and organizations look to polling for guidance, get paralyzed, talk in circles or just fold like a cheap suit. Disabled American Veterans, on the other hand, has taken the right approach. This is how you respond.

Rep Eric Swalwell walked out in shock—and who could blame him? Every single GOP member on the House Judiciary Committee just voted to let Trump “deport” American citizens. This is illegal, authoritarian, and unforgivable 🤬 Time to call, write, & protest before the full House votes.

Everyone is freaking out about Hegseth for legitimate reasons & he must resign. But as a physician I can promise you, RFK Jr is an equal or greater threat than Hegseth. He can’t separate fact from fiction. He will kill millions. Exhibit A: www.usnews.com/news/top-new...

The media needs to call this what it is: This is a techno-oligarchic hostile takeover of the federal machinery of the United States of America. This is not governing. It is lawless. It is not based on principles of electoral representation. This is a criminal takeover of the federal government.

Look, all I know is that if Joe Biden had clearly fallen asleep at the state funeral for a pope, it would have dominated media coverage for days and been covered by political media as a scandal detrimental to the reputation of our country.

I really wish reporters would stop saying that there is an effort by the Trump administration to combat antisemitism. It is quite the opposite. There is an effort to foment antisemitism. forward.com/fast-forward...

I am so over the media's framing of these kinds of issues. Who effing cares if the Trump administration wants to "make" Canada a state? The correct framing here is: "Is the United States' position that it will no longer be adhere to international law when it comes to Canada?"

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

While y’all are busy chasing oligarchs, don’t forget about Trump’s Rasputin—Russell Vought. He’s still whispering into the soul of the MAGA state—and he’s not doing it for the money. He’s doing it for the kingdom. #Millenarianism

We’ve talked about this before, but we wanted to expand on it a little more. Late last week, Elon Musk’s so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) effectively took control of the Department of the Interior without a single Senate confirmation, public hearing, or vote.

This, to me, is the most obvious messaging opportunity ever for Democrats. Chuck Schumer should be on the ground in Arkansas within 24 hours and Democrats in both houses of Congress should be filing measures to provide federal funds to assist in recovery efforts. Force Republicans to say no.

Republicans in Congress have done a lot wrong, but their unforgivable political sin, in my book, is their conscious decision that making every American's life worse is an acceptable price to pay for not being primaried. They know what Trump is doing to America, and it doesn't matter to them.

Note that Trump asked for IRS investigations in his first term too: Strzok, McCabe, Comey, and he interfered directly in IRS investigation of Hunter Biden. This did not come up in Jack Smith's challenge to Trump's immunity claim, tho I raised it at the time.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit. ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law
