Josh Hawley acted like he was going to fight the Medicaid cuts that will hurt many thousands in his state - most his voters in rural areas. Then he ran away.

ICE is now changing tactics and arresting people who have been granted asylum hearings.   This is both a violation of US & international law that demands immediate attention from all New York elected officials & underscores the urgent need for legal service providers to be at all of these cases.

Miami just canceled its November election & pushed it to 2026. No public vote, just canceled. Mayor Suarez & Joe Carollo get to stick around an extra year. This feels like a power grab. If one city can delay elections for “participation,” what’s to stop others from doing it to silence opposition?

If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until *now* to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

It appears I made little Mr. Not Funny upset. I mean 🤷🏼‍♀️

The Navy named a destroyer after Oscar Peterson in 1943, one year after he died. Pretty sure his family was aware of that honor even if Jake Tapper was not.

Just re-read Nicky Hagers 'Dirty Politics' book from 10 years ago. Those tactics haven't gone away. #nzpol One of the key aims of negative politics is to stop people participating in politics. Exhaust us. Lower turnout is a strategy My take is to hang in there and do what I can. Tnanks Nicky.

If the first word you see as your enemy is liberal, communist, socialist, far-leftists while the fascists are taking or have taken over all our institutions and armed forces, then you are an absolute idiot that is failing to meet the dangers and seriousness of our present reality. We are in a war.

Seems like the Democratic establishment is underestimating the potential downside of extinguishing the enthusiasm for Zohran when it comes to other races down the line. Then they’ll wonder why the energy isn’t there, and blame everyone but themselves. Lather, rinse, repeat.

I eye rolled so hard I think I sprained something. I mean it's the law right? A winner of a mayoral primary instantly becomes the leader of a national party?!?!

I guess “Right-Wing Republicans And Unscrupulous Democratic Senators” is too wordy

Tapper writes this without acknowledging that Milk himself served in the US Navy during the Korean War, or that Milk was assassinated while serving honorably in public office

Raskin: "If you can opt out of mandatory classroom readings bc it offends your religious objections, you can do it bc it offends your philosophical beliefs... you're gonna have a lot of cases where ppl say 'Our family doesn't believe in evolution. We don't want our kid in class when it's taught'"

The world knows we have a spoiled child as a President. www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

If I were a hero I think I would probably not be happy to know that my name had replaced another guy’s entirely because the secretary of defense hates gay people

Our pressure is working. Stay strong — keep calling, texting, writing, and sharing. We MUST stop this bill, and we CAN.

You might ask: who is the Trump administration targeting? Here’s one story. Madonna “Donna” Kashanian, a 64-year-old Iranian woman who has lived in the U.S. for 47 years, was detained by ICE while gardening outside her home in New Orleans.

"No one disputes that the Executive has a duty to follow the law. But the Judiciary does not have unbridled authority to enforce this obligation-in fact, sometimes the law prohibits the Judiciary from doing so." --SCOTUS

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this? Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids. She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms. Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen. 🧵

I mean, if everything is going in the shitter, there’s no reason to have anti-gay people have all the fun; start making religious objections to all sorts of stuff. The Ten Commandments getting put into class all over, for instance. That’s at least 40% religious orthodoxy.

True.

Today’s procedural decision by the Supreme Court is an abdication of the judiciary’s role to protect all Americans when the President violates the Constitution. Importantly, birthright citizenship, which has been a core tenet of our Constitution for more than 150 years, remains.

I just want you all to know that Samuel Alito, Edith Jones, James Ho, and the rest of the Federalist Sociey are VERY disappointed with the tone of your comments about all this.

Charlie Kirk. What a weird guy. 🤣🤣

We just unanimously passed a bipartisan bill honoring the lives of Melissa and Mark Hortman & condemning political violence. As their kids Sophie and Colin said - let's continue honoring their memory by doing something to make our community just a little better for someone else.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

Wow was that fast--an immigrant advocate group already filed an amended complaint seeking class action relief in its birthright citizenship case in federal court in Maryland

Holy Crap. Just straight up looting at this point. Or like was already looting. But just bringing in a semi to haul out the loot faster.

I predict something will not be as bad as we feared and something will be far worse than expected.

“No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates.” –Justice Sonia Sotomayor. One of the most chilling sentences I have ever read.

Most important of 6 last Supreme Court opinions is also the most predictable. Court holds, 6-3, Alito writing, that parents of religious children who object to public school instruction of LGBTQ+ material have right under free exercise clause for kids not to participate. Sotomayor dissent for 3.

Oh no doubt.

Kenneth Chesebro, the lawyer who helped orchestrate the fake elector scheme to overturn the 2020 election, has been permanently disbarred in New York.

what a load of crap. And our brave board completely bent the knee to the orange emperor rather than fight.

At some point universities and law firms and whatnot will figure out that they can all band together and fight this stuff successfully rather than getting picked off one by one. But right now they only do this stuff for really important things, like college football.

WTF??

Brilliant. 10/10. No notes.

💰 WATCH: “How is that happening?” 🤷🏼‍♂️ @aoc.bsky.social informs a confused RFK Jr. that his own HHS is stuffing the pockets of insurance companies by doubling the rates taxpayers pay them even as they defraud us. 🤔

Hope and solidarity won tonight, and will win again in November. Congratulations, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social
