Great/Important read by Frank Bowman. ⚖️🇺🇸❕ "In short, Trump is declaring that in all questions of either making law in the form of regulation or interpreting any law whatever—regulatory, statutory, or constitutional—the only executive branch opinion that matters is his." - Frank Bowman

Nice job, maga! Kings Musk & Trump don’t need Telehealth — so they’re taking it away from everyone: all of you who are not as rich, powerful or privileged as Trump & his Tech Bros. Why are Americans struggling to make ends meet be stripped of this invaluable healthcare tool? We have to fight!!!

Since last week, the United States is now pro-Russia, anti-NATO, and anti-democracy. Everything we feared is real. What can we do about this? Where do we go from here? @djrothkopf.bsky.social and @normornstein.bsky.social tackle all of these pressing questions. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

The GOP convicted felon has launched a war on the American people & our constitution. We have guardrails to stop a rogue president. But are our lawmakers? Happy to be part of it & obey, in the foolish belief that THEY will be spared. Wait for the final irony. #Opposition #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Let me say this again: walk away. Stop attending their briefings and tell viewers and readers why. Explain how press accessibility is being curtailed. Stop playing their game.

This is such a savvy move by Judge Ho. It’s not just that Clement has impeccable (conservative) credentials; he was the Solicitor General from 2004–08, and even Acting AG briefly, so he can participate with quite a bit of perspective as to the proper role of the Department of Justice.

It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry. Make sure everyone knows it.

MAGA-Republicans are coming after Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid benefits you and your family may rely on now or in the future. This isn’t my opinion—they just confirmed it. They're calling your benefits “waste, fraud, and abuse” to justify the cuts. More on their plan 🧵

"Vance did not mention Russia’s continuing aggression against Ukraine at all. Instead, he presumed to lecture America’s allies on their supposed failure to uphold our shared values.How so? By restricting speech too harshly and—the truly soul-crushing part—being too intolerant of neo-Nazis." - Charen
