Yikes, anybody else think the Oval Office looks more like a Hoarder’s Estate sale now?

We Are In A Constitutional Crisis….

Our constitution is in mortal danger.

JD Vance is such an embarrassment. Look at him trying to hold up the trophy of The Ohio State championship football team. He fucking broke it! What an embarrassment!!

Again… Impeach. Convict. Remove.

Make a difference. There is no cavalry coming to save us... 5calls.org

VoteVets Action Fund, the North Carolina Alliance for Retired Americans, and two individual voters all working with Democratic operative Marc Elias’ law firm filed a separate appeal. www.carolinajournal.com/riggs-groups...

I want to write a report fully detailing the conditions in CECOT via curatorial journalism—there is so much people don't know—but I'll tell you honestly that writing my last three reports on this subject has broken my spirit. My health has been affected. This is the worst topic I've ever written on.

Just captured the most amazing rainbow I have ever seen!

Folks who are citizens of other countries and are considering travel to the United States for a vacation or work or whatever: I strongly advise against it. You will not have protection from the illegal actions of this administration. It's not worth it. Don't roll the dice by traveling here.

So much winning…

Oh. They’re putting tariffs back on semiconductors now? This administration is an inept clown show.

Big Law's capitulation to Donald Trump is a billion dollar betrayal of democracy and the rule of law. I write about this and much more in my Tuesday tip-sheet. Join Democracy Docket now to receive it straight to your inbox tomorrow morning. newsletters.democracydocket.com/member-signup

“If we normalize this, there’s no end.” This is what @schumer.senate.gov said he was waiting for. Defying court orders. We are there. Now what?

BREAKING: Days after a Louisiana judge ruled that the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil can proceed, thousands are holding an emergency Passover Seder at the ICE headquarters in New York City, saying: If you come for one, you face us all.

We’re sending the guy with 0 felony convictions to a horrible prison in El Salvador and keeping the guy with 34 to run the country? Insane.

We are going to have to have contempt hearings in Abrego Garcia, and the district judge is going to need to start putting people in jail until they comply with the very basic order of “tell me where he is and what you are doing to find out.” I don’t know what else to do.

"Kevin Hayden, I think, needs to ask himself, is it necessary and proper to abduct somebody in the middle of their constitutionally protected jury trial? That’s really what’s at stake.” I am not a lawyer, but it seems like charging this ICE agent is one of our few tools for pushing back right now.

So by paying our taxes, we pay for a Central American dictator who runs the 116th-richest nation in the world to build five more supermax concentration camps slated to be filled with our countrymen and wholly innocent legal permanent residents of the United States? Is that right?

The trade war between the US and China has spurred Brazil’s agricultural sector and pummelled American farmers. “It is a boon for farmers in Brazil and Argentina, and it will help their industry a lot,” points out a lead agriculture analyst. on.ft.com/42oB1f2

If the farmers wanted those grants, maybe they should’ve voted for the person who gave them the grants.

Before Cody Balmer, the man charged with the attempted homicide of Gov. Josh Shapiro, stopped using social media in Summer 2023, he repeatedly posted anti-government sentiment and memes that seemed to advocate for violent acts.

YAY Bernie and AOC!

Frank Zappa was a brilliant man born before his time 💯

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

JUST THE FACTS…👇 Enjoy. 😎✨

Volodymyr Zelenskyy should get the Nobel Peace Prize. Can you just imagine the temperament he has had to show to stay on focus and stable for the world to see. Who wouldn't want him as a leader, regardless of whatever happens.

In fairness, China's pronouncers of state propaganda have a much better game then America's.

No American can afford to ignore the systematic erosion of what it means to be American. We are way past political and ideological disagreements. What’s at stake is our adherence to the Constitution and rule of law. What safeguards all of our rights. Without it, we cease to be America.

How much you wanna bet that soon we’ll find out it’ll cost $100 billion or some such amount to fix everything he broke?

WATCH: “The Chinese told the 3 largest 🇺🇸 soybean distributors in China they can no longer do business there.” Tennessee’s #1 cash crop. Another Trump trade war farmer bailout won’t be far behind.
