If we only fight for OUR rights what are we really accomplishing? America is only great if we fight for everyone’s right to life, freedom and the pursuit of happiness. And for gods sake EDUCATE yourself and stop being brainwashed by a dictator. You have a brain, you have tools, use them.

In one go, Trump adds two new actions to my democracy spreadsheet: both undermine rule of law, and one is also about controlling access to information. I've also had to add 3 other actions to my overall spreadsheet in just the last hour! christinapagel.substack.com/p/a-republic...

Pam Bondi: “That’s up to El Salvador if they want to return him…If they wanted to return him, we would facilitate it, meaning provide a plane.” Nayib Bukele: “How can I return him to the U.S.? Like, I smuggle him into the U.S.?” No, you put him on the plane the AG just said the US would provide!

Another court order that Trump is now openly defying. Republicans in Congress assured us repeatedly that Trump would never defy a court order. It is obvious that he simply doesn’t care though after the Supreme Court gave him immunity.

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury. This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

The televised Oval Office meeting with Bukele is mockery. They’re mocking the press, their opposition, the courts, and the entire concept of justice. They’re mocking everyone who isn’t them. The abuser’s playbook yet again.

It really is utterly obscene that an individual can have so much "personal wealth" that in 3 months they can lose more than the GDP of most countries (Musk has apparently lost $130bn this year) and still be the richest person on Earth. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

You can complain about the Supreme Court giving criminal immunity to the president (and I certainly have), but we should also be appalled that TV networks give Trump a different type of immunity: They broadcast his lies every day without pushback. It's lousy, fascist-enabling "journalism."

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

The "freight train" coming for the separation of church and state is receiving scant coverage. Before I left my job at POLITICO, I was heavily researching the case at the center of it all -- started in Oklahoma. Justice Barrett's good friend helped seed it, which I reported. I have more to share 👇

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

The four law firms that it was announced are now Trump collaborators -- Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins, Simpson Thacher, and A&O Shearman Sterling -- ALSO agreed today to "Disavow DEI" as part of a settlement with EEOC. Why would any new associate join such a place? Why would any partner stay?

Called both Senators to encourage them to vote against the SAVE Act, which is intended to disenfranchise millions of women. Then called my Congresscritter to express how disappointed I was at her voting for it. It really does make one feel better.
