Federal prosecutors are not the president’s lawyers. Prosecutors take an oath to support and defend the Constitution, not to implement the president’s agenda faithfully. My thoughts in @MSNBCDaily.

“Zelensky survived a dozen Russian assassination attempts including a special forces assault on his presidential complex.He stood up to Trump. I’m sure he’ll be deeply impressed to learn our Congressional Republicans live as terrified hostages of their own party leader.” ~ @michaeldweiss.bsky.social

The author of this piece was an associate WH counsel under Reagan. He has a very polite way of explaining that what Trump is doing with DOGE is a coup. wapo.st/4hSE7Ox

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

Here it is in a nutshell: 1. Trump is an authoritarian. 2. With the GOP controlling Congress, courts are key to protecting democracy. 3. So far, courts are doing a good job on #2. 4. GOP will next attack election rules like they did in 2021. Don't let the cynics convince you not to fight. FIGHT!

Damn is this country filled with fragile white men. How scared are you of people of another race? It’s laughable, but I get it, your daddy gave you 400 million and you lost it, went bankrupt six times and had to borrow your way out of failure after failure, you feel like a loser… cuz you are.

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

Remember that many of his executive orders are in direct conflict with existing law. He can't just wave a magic wand and undo laws that Congress has passed. The shock and awe is the point. It is his wish list. He wants to see what we let him get away with. We can challenge & ignore unlawful orders.

Want to know what a federal funding freeze does? It takes money from families that just lost their home in a wildfire. It takes resources away from vets. It leaves 72M Americans without access to healthcare. Trump, Elon, & their billionaire buddies laugh their way to the bank while Americans suffer.

Never forget that first and foremost, Trump is a criminal enterprise that uses fake culture war outrage and bogus religiosity as a smoke screen as they raid the public coffers, run scams, and privatize/auction our infrastructure to their corporate buddies.

It was never about "criminals" at all. It's about scooping up as many brown people as possible, meeting arrest quotas, and getting video of them being herded on to planes. Just take a step back and imagine it in black and white but a railroad car instead of a C-17.

I was a dedicated hater of the Tom Brady Patriots. I am a lifelong dedicated hater of the New York Yankees. Why? I hated how often they beat the Chiefs and Royals. It never once occurred to me to claim that those teams won because the NFL or the MLB ordered referees and umpires to fix games. 😂
