Here we go: another “apology” demanded by El.Cheto. Will she fall in line like the lawyers and the universities? Will she see him in court, as she told him? This message is not just for Maine’s Gov. Janet Mills. This message is for every Governor in the USA. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

We will have no kings in America. 😡

For the Supreme Court's John Roberts, seen as deeply conservative and concerned about the court's institutional credibility and perception, chastising Donald Trump puts the chief justice in a difficult spot reut.rs/4c8wX7j

Supreme Court's John Roberts presided over the first of Donald Trump's two impeachment trials, and penned rulings that both boosted the president — including granting him broad immunity from criminal prosecution — but also constrained him at key moments reut.rs/4c8wX7j

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

Columbia’s capitulation is so disappointing. No statute authorized the Trump administration to make these demands, and many of them implicate or encroach on the constitutional freedoms of students, faculty, and the University itself. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/03/21/n...

Worrying about the future won’t change it, but showing up fully in the present will. Focus on what you can control and let the rest unfold.

The world is in chaos. Veterans are being left without healthcare. Judges are being threatened and harassed. Kids with special needs are about to be left out in the cold. People are about to starve because food banks' deliveries are being eliminated. Donald Trump is golfing.

Rebuking Donald Trump puts US Chief Justice John Roberts in a tough spot. It's drawn sharp criticism from Trump's allies and comes as the top court braces for the flood of legal challenges to the president's executive actions reut.rs/4c8wX7j

Has Howard Lutnick done anything of value as Commerce Secretary ?

Breaking News: President Trump revoked security clearances for prominent figures like Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and more.

Your worth isn’t measured by productivity. You don’t have to earn rest, joy, or love. You deserve all of it simply because you exist.

From 2010 to 2016 (latest data I have ), NIH research contributed to EVERY drug approved by the FDA

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

President Trump said on Friday that the Education Department would no longer manage the nation’s $1.6 trillion student loan portfolio or oversee special education services in a major shake-up of an agency he has sought to eliminate.

If this Judge in this Alien Enemies Act case does not hold the Executive Branch accountable, then we have no law. If they aren't willing to enforce their orders, we are all done as a country.

It's not illegal to have a tattoo. Being in the US illegally is not a criminal offense punishable by life in prison in El Salvador. You are deported to the country you came from. Venezuela takes immigrants back. Why are their citizens in El Salvador?

People around the world are choosing not to buy American products to demonstrate their anger at President Trump’s policies. “We all feel that we are doing something,” said one boycotter. “We are acting on our frustration.”

If those of us who claim to want democracy to prevail, don’t stand up and fight this, then we should at least have the self-awareness to never say, “This is not who we are.”! 😡😡 Thank you @timmiller.bsky.social for demonstrating the moral outrage we should all be feeling. youtu.be/fZXS-BerWz0?...

I recorded a special episode of my Bulwark podcast with @timmiller.bsky.social this morning to discuss Paul, Weiss’s appalling capitulation to the First Extortionist of the United States. I didn’t mince words. Link below. @thebulwark.bsky.social

We’re in this mess because of a fraudulent election. No one wants to touch the subject - even when there’s footage where DJT brags about it crediting fElon. THINGS ARE GETTING WORSE BY THE MINUTE. I’ll tell you this: HISTORY WILL SHOW THIS WILL BE OUR GREATEST REGRET AS A NATION.

I wrote this about news organizations that were settling with Trump, but it's equally true of law firms that are settling with him. Maybe even *more* true, since the spectacle of *lawyers* surrendering to Trump is especially dispiriting. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/04/o...

AOC, @aoc.bsky.social, making the case for free speech alongside universal healthcare is so KEY for the left, because it's time progressives reclaimed the mantle of fighting for free speech from the faux free speech warriors of the right.

When life gets overwhelming, remember this: You don’t have to solve everything at once. Just take one deep breath, one small step, and trust that you’re moving in the right direction.
