No attorney general should ever speak like this. She's Trump's advocate, not the people's lawyer, which is what the AG's job is. Whatever state she is barred in should start disciplinary proceedings immediately. This isn't subtle or arguable, it's wrong.

Don’t let the arrest of a Federal Judge distract you from the announcement that ICE can enter anyone’s home without a warrant to look for migrants.

The FBI is arresting judges. We just blew through Constitutional Crisis and into fascism.

Funny how the paperwork only matters when it’s a woman or minority voter.

Get it yet?

BREAKING: The constitutional crisis has arrived. We knew it was coming, just not when.

. NOAA scientists warn the agency is being pushed onto a ‘non-science trajectory’ with massive layoffs and defunding. Climate change? Never heard of her. Congrats this administration doesn’t even believe in science Just guns and grifting. .

If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

THIS IS WILD‼️ Florida got $67M from a Medicaid fraud settlement. Instead of using it for actual health care, Casey DeSantis funneled $10M to a “charity” she controls. That “charity” passed it to anti-abortion and anti-marijuana groups—who then helped fund GOP campaigns. Both measures lost!

This should be the top story in Axios’s morning read. But it isn’t. It’s the FIFTH top story. @axios.com www.axios.com/2025/04/23/t...

Jake Tapper: "One 60 Minutes source tells me, 'The lawsuit was baseless. Bill Owens wouldn't apologize. He wouldn't bend. He fought for the broadcast and for independent journalism and that cost him his job. It's shameful.'"

"'She’s a very talented scientist with huge potential … the capacity to be the best of the best,' he said..." www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Gélineau advanced the term "narcolepsy" in 1880 while de la Tourette described his eponymous syndrome in 1885. "Autism" was coined by Bleuler in 1911, with full diagnoses soon after. But what do I know? I'm not the Cabinet secretary in charge of the goddamn Department of Health and Human Services.

this is basically just a big plan to impoverish the united states

Priorities.

He did it. He crashed the entire economy. In exactly 90 days.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The Golden Age of Corruption

Pete Hegseth is a pretty despicable human being, on top of the other, many deficits he brought to the Pentagon But you should be even madder at the 50 senators who knew Hegseth was an alcoholic, a serial abuser of women, and a poser massively unqualified for the post and yet voted for him anyway

I always look forward to funerals too. Good times.

The Supreme Court says we can and MUST

Sending the 300 migrants to a prison in El Salvador is a violation of 13 international laws and/or treaties, US law, and 3 Constitutional Amendments.

But sure, meritocracy. Got it.

i’m getting van hollen pilled

Today’s my birthday 🎉I’m grateful every day in part bc of surviving lung cancer + another major op w/in a year and having a recovering darling grand! For some reason I’ll be humming the 77 sunset strip theme song 🤭 we did a 5K on Apr.5 we walked :) I’m so proud of this young man! ❤️

Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "My whole point here is if you deprive one man of his constitutional rights, you threaten the constitutional rights of everybody ... if you threaten the rule of law for one person, you threaten if for everybody in America."

Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "I'm not vouching for the man. I'm vouching for the man's rights. His constitutional rights to due process."

Always great when the agency in “turmoil” is … {checks notes} … the United States Department of Defense.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Good morning and happy Saturday. Ordering 30,000 real eggs to waste rolling down the lawn of the White House on a Christian holiday, during an egg shortage, after promising to lower the price of eggs, is the peak analogy of this administration. He spits in their faces and they moisturize with it.

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

Odd, how the United States doesn't have enough money to give sick veterans healthcare, impoverished seniors Social Security, or hungry schoolkids lunches, but it does have enough money to pay a Central American dictator millions to torture American residents in his brutal concentration camp.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Auchincloss: "This issue about the Maryland man is not about border security or immigration. It's about freedom. Freedom in the US means that if your feet are on American soil, you get to stand in front of a judge on an equal basis to the awesome power of the state and put forward the facts."

As a lawyer, I can tell you why Abrego Garcia must remain in El Salvador. If he were free, he could sue me for defamation and win. by Pam Bondi

Put up or shut up time for the Supreme Court

This "WHO'S NEVER COMING BACK" document published by the White House should be "EXHIBIT A" in any forthcoming hearing where a judge/justice has asked the White House to prove how it is "facilitating" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

they want us poor, sick and desperate

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us

September 2024

The President of the United States is utterly out of control and possibly out of his mind, and only the Supreme Court of the United States can deliver the absolutely vicious permanent slapdown this moment requires. If that does not happen, the options for Americans appear to dwindle precipitously.

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason
