How many days does it take for a president to tank an economy? I guess we got our answer...less than 100. www.cnn.com/2025/04/28/p...

REPUBLICAN MATH… Red states slash taxes, cut services because of less revenue than blue states like California have to make up for their shortfall.

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

JUST IN: Deputy Assistant to the President and "Counterterrorism Czar" Sebastian Gorka says anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be viewed as "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and be federally charged. (h/t Philip Germain)

The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships. The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

This is where we are headed. If you don’t believe me, ask what basis the government had to send me and my family to a prison camp in Arkansas. We “looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.”

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

How does Curtis Yarvin feel about seeing his short-sighted fascist fantasies come to life under the dumbest authoritarian government in the world? (editorializing). 😬 According to Gil Duran - Not super great. 👀 www.thenerdreich.com/curtis-yarvi...

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

THIS IS IMPORTANT! THIS IS THE ADMINISTRATION'S DAILY UPDATE IN THE ABREGO GARCIA CASE AS ORDERED BY JUDGE XINIS. NOTE ITEM #9. Why is this important? (1/3)

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

He wants to build prisons in El Salvador for American citizens he doesn't like. Enough's enough. He needs to be stopped.

I just attended a conference in the US. We had one speaker detained and two others turned away at the border.

Who voted for “Freedom Cities”?? www.wired.com/story/startu...

When scholars of authoritarianism and fascism leave U.S. universities because of the deteriorating political situation here, we should really worry.

If we’re going to find our way out of this it’s going to be through art, through love, through love that seems foolish and naive and reckless. It’s going to take a reawakening of what it means to be human, to be connected in a fearless way. This bloodless machine has to be dismantled, destroyed.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

A side by side — RUSSIA and TRUMP Krasnov confirmed 👇🏼

Really ominous. Earlier this month someone threatened a sister of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett with a mail bomb. The escalating verbal attacks by Trump and his GOP allies against judges whose rulings they dislike are going to lead to violence www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/u...

I am tracking 3 separate cases where the government is violating court orders. The question now is whether judges find willfulness and hold officials in contempt. Democracy Docket members will receive my latest on this and more in their inboxes tomorrow. Join now. www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

Every day in America, a pastor or police officer is arrested for rape, abuse of child, or possession of child pornography. EVERY DAMN DAY

Our future. Argentine President's, Javier Milei, economic policies which echo Trump's policies are being received like a guest pissing in the tequila party punch bowl. This was recorded today. youtu.be/s-IJTR8LV7o?...

Rep. John Larson (D-CT) in today’s Ways and Means Committee hearing. This is what we want! Do you hear us Democrats? No more of your DC decorum. Fight!

There were signs…
