Goldman on Trump threatening to deport Americans to a gulag in El Salvador: "This is the stuff of dictators ... Republicans in Congress have completely acceded to his wishes and turned over all of their own authority to Donald Trump. There is no check and no balance from Congress."

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it. Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids. Don’t let this go!!!

Quick point. Congress can use the spending fight in September (remember Chuck Schumer surrendered till then) to prevent a single dollar from being used to house prisoners in El Salvador.

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution. This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

This woman is a hideous soulless bitch. The world would be better off without her. I said it.

The only reason we ever became concerned with a “trade deficit” was in the 80s when Japanese car companies were eating American companies lunch. That’s it. It’s not meant to be an economic strategy. I have a trade deficit with Applebees but we’re fine

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

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

When American citizens have to worry about returning to their own country from travel abroad, you ain’t living in a free republic.

We knew exactly what this administration was going to do because it was written in Project 2025. Folks can be surprised at how quickly it has moved, but no one can act like they didn't know.

Cohen: Take MeidasTouch Network. They’re beating Joe Rogan, they’re beating Fox, they’re beating the lame stream news. So when there’s a march, all you have to do is contact the Meiselas brothers — next thing you know, you’ve got ten million people showing up. That’s an army.

BREAKING: The SAVE Act is a THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY that will limit access to the polls, gut the National Voter Registration Act, and lead to voter purges. We must stop this bill! #HandsOffHerVote

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

WE ARE IN A CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS. NOW WHAT?

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of NC Alliance for Retired Americans and VoteVets AF, my firm has filed an appeal to the Fourth Circuit to block the Republicans' efforts to steal a North Carolina state Supreme Court election. Follow Democracy Docket for full details. www.democracydocket.com/cases/north-...

Gross: The GOP is planning $5.3 TRILLION in tax cuts for their Sugar Daddy donors. And WE are going to PAY for them through tariffs and cuts to our healthcare. #MAGABlowingYourTaxes

We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

We haven’t reached bottom yet. Because there is no bottom to his moral depravity.

AOC: “Donald Trump is a criminal. Convicted on 34 felony counts of fraud. He is lying, and he is manipulating the stock market too. At his best, he enriches himself, the billionaires who back him, and the members of Congress who trade with him. Not you. Not me. Not the people.” More here:

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?

Nobody is saying this. They have to conjure up imaginary libs to argue with since they can’t win a debate with real ones on this issue.

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov :: you better not be playing cute with your language about stopping the SAVE Act. I hope you intend to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE, as opposed to what you did with the CR when you told us you'd vote no on the bill, but still voted YES on cloture. We are in no mood for games.

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots. The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination. This should outrage every single Member of Congress.

According to media reports, the list of Trump collaborator Big Law firms may grow to include: A&O Shearman Cadwalader Kirkland & Ellis Latham & Watkins Simpson Thacher If they do, they would join the already disgraced: Skadden Arps Paul Weiss Milbank Willkie Farr

Well said, and the truth hurts like hell…

I still can't get over how rapey the vibe of this tweet is from the White House, shocked it's still up. It sounds like trump wrote it.

The U.S. House of Representatives voted Thursday to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, a major voter suppression measure that, if it became law, could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters and badly undermine U.S. democracy. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

That is MY GIRL...RIGHT THERE, RIGHT NOW!

"Wouldn't it make sense to prosecute him?" -- even Fox News thinks it's suspicious that Karoline Leavitt can't cite any actual evidence justifying the administration's deportations to a gulag in El Salvador without due process (note Leavitt claiming "this administration is doing things differently")
