In DC, the Democratic Party got creative and parked A “TACO” truck near the GOP’s headquarters. It featured an image of Trump in a chicken costume, with a sign that read: “Trump Always Chickens Out.” From Scott Dworkin’s column.

San Diego. Minneapolis. The urgency is showing and I’ve never been this confident that the people will win. I’ve never been this proud to be an American. From the bottom-up is how we fix this. We walk in fear but we walk together. Thank you. We have a role to play where we can. We all get to choose.

How are the MAGAs liking Musk today? 😂 We agree the bill is an abomination, but don’t get it twisted, Musk. It only took an international boycott to get you to change your tune. We’re still boycotting you. We haven’t forgotten. Foxtrot Echo Mike.

Parking Lot Lawyer Alina Habba gets sued for violating Newark Mayor Ras Baraka’s constitutional rights. My latest for the Katie Phang News channel on YouTube: youtu.be/9aI9FNidFGA

Sen. Booker (D-NJ): “I am sick and tired of hearing this kind of heated partisan rhetoric, which is one of the reasons we have divisions in this country. The attacks we see from POTUS, trolling and dragging judges is what we should be talking about that puts people in danger.”

Newark Mayor sues Alina Habba, alleging 'false arrest and malicious prosecution'

A guy who heads a right-wing group told Congress today that I am a "Democratic 'super-lawyer' whose partisanship is unrivaled." I feel seen...

I’m officially running to be the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee. These are not normal times—and this cannot be a business-as-usual moment. Read my full letter to my colleagues here: crockett.house.gov/media/press-...

On Meet the Press this weekend, Warnock responded to a question about Biden and the 2024 campaign by stating: “Here's what we absolutely know about last year's election—it's over.” Yes, it is. And corporate media needs to stop constantly criticizing Biden as if he’s still in office.

open.substack.com/pub/davidpep... Wasn’t this what Republicans didn’t want? I guess they don’t think it will bother them because they are MAGA.

Since he took office on January 20, 2025, Trump has taken just 14 PDBs, or fewer than one a week on average. In the same period, President Barack Obama took 63, and President Joe Biden took 90. From Heather Cox Richardson’s column. No wonder he only knows what he is told, he can’t read.

Spare us the fake outrage.

Dem Rep. Jamie Raskin went on MSNBC and didn’t hold back on his criticism of the Trump regime: “This is a gangster state … It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people.” From Scott Dworkin’s column.

TD COWEN: “Given Trump's public ire against previous court rulings and the press questions on May 28 around the 'TACO' narrative emerging in the media (Trump Always Chickens Out), we would not be surprised to see a meaningful tariff escalation/response from the White House sooner rather than later."

I absolutely agree with this! It’s so sad that millions don’t. #Pinks

Learning is fun.

Civics 101: presidents are not kings…

That would be awful. Don’t share this.

Jackson added a crucial observation. The court, she wrote, “allows the Government to do what it wants to do regardless [of the consequences], rendering constraints of law irrelevant and unleashing devastation in the process.” From Heather Cox-Richardson’s column.

BREAKING: Over 130 former federal & state judges have filed an amicus brief urging the court to drop charges against Judge Dugan in Wisconsin The charges seek to criminalize judicial discretion & set a dangerous precedent for executive overreach We MUST defend judicial independence👇

Is it just the ones who are inside someone’s womb? Asking for a friend. FFS.

NEVER FORGET: Donald Trump repeatedly stated during his campaign that he could end the Russia-Ukraine war within 24 hours of taking office. He suggested this would happen through negotiations with both sides, using his relationships with Putin and Zelenskyy.

A Constant Theme From That Political Party….

It is easy to forget that when Paul Weiss and the other law firms that capitulated to Trump cut their deals they thought they would be viewed as savvy dealmakers. Now they look like craven fools and gutless cowards.

On Memorial Day, there was a march and rally in Boston, MA, to honor Veterans and to stand up for immigrant rights. The crowd was fired up, with one speaker urging that ICE agents be prosecuted by the Massachusetts AG for kidnapping. From Scott Dworkin’s column.

open.substack.com/pub/davidpep... Ohio Tepublican’s shameful legislation.

Political scientist Adam Bonica noted last Friday that Trump and the administration suffered a 96% loss rate in federal courts in the month of May. Those losses were nonpartisan: 72.2% of Republican-appointed judges and 80.4% of Democratic-appointed judges ruled against the administration.
