This is how it’s done.

GO AOC! www.nytimes.com/2025/03/30/o...

“Goldberg has responded to questions about the photo, telling CBS News: ‘If your eyeballs see us together, then I guess your eyeballs are seeing us together.’”

"We have to have it." - The quotation. Putin re Ukraine? No, Trump re Greenland. Surprise? www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

An excellent emendation to Paul, Weiss’s Wikipedia page. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul,_W...

Absolutely. The cap is antidemocratic and fundamentally unfair. But the oligarchs love it. And we are now living through a not so slow-motion oligarchic coup d'etat. Just say NO.

Yes. There's a consistent pattern of case outcomes - the Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that constitutional rights, including those under the First Amendment, extend to anyone physically present in the U.S., regardless of immigration status.

Hitler would be proud. We now have our very own Gestapo. MAGA - 'Make America Germany Again - Nazi Germany.'

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Trump claims the law firms are saying "where do I sign, where do I sign." To which I say: Pound sand. We will see you in court.

The only thing standing between Donald Trump and his authoritarian dream is the courts. But to defeat him, we need lawyers willing to litigate against him. Trump is trying to intimidate lawyers and law firms to stop fighting. At least for me, it won't work. I wear his scorn like a badge of honor.

Teen Warned Not To Accept Group Chat Invites From National Security Advisors She Doesn’t Know

Trump and his Oligarchs . . . "They were careless people, Tom and Daisy – they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made." - The Great Gatsby

The biggest, most enduring scandal of the last few days is Trump's attempt to use an Executive Order to seize control over elections. It will not work, but it is a sign of what comes next. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

💯 — not to mention the guy who chose them all

Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf. abovethelaw.com/2025/03/one-...

Despicable.

"Say it ain't so, Joe!" 'The Dodgers have accepted an invitation to visit the White House in celebration of their World Series title.'

Clown show; they can’t keep us safe.

The national security group fiasco reflects a form of maga/trump DEI ... appointment of morons - people historically excluded from positions of power.

"DOGE is considering slashing up to 50% of the Social Security Administration's workforce. That means longer lines, and more errors. For everyone who gives up or who dies before they get their benefits sorted out, it is a benefit cut." - @warren.senate.gov

Hegseth, Waltz and company texting war plans to a reporter on signal is just the tip of the iceberg. This whole administration is full of incompetent, inexperienced, and unqualified clowns. Our national security is compromised in ways we’re just beginning to understand.

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

I think AOC is right.

I never cease to be shocked at the utter stupidity of right-wing talking heads. Thank you, George.

The Fifth Amendment says due process is due all persons, whether the number eight or eight million. And if there were a mass-violation exception to the Constitution, why have a constitutional at all?

Stupidity to the Nth power.

Is say unbelievable, but all too believable. Shame is right!

Note to Jay and RFK: The measles virus is trying hard to tell you this is exactly the wrong moment to be revisiting a manufactured vaccine risk based on a fraudulent study. MMR vaccine does not cause autism. It does prevent measles. #episky www.reuters.com/business/hea...

Was he afraid to quote Patrick Henry?

Shame on him, trying to be anywhere near Patrick Henry!

If a law firm won't risk everything to defend itself, what makes you think it will risk anything to defend you? My advice: Find a law firm that will not back down and will never bend a knee.

March 22, 2025 Happy Birthday William Shatner. Today, completing 94 trips around the Sun. Congratulations on your 55-billion mile journey.

I think AOC's time may be coming to be our next President. We're looking at a leader with heart and vision.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right. The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy. We must end that international embarrassment. Yes. We need Medicare for All.

Overflow crowd for Bernie/AOC rally in Greeley, CO — the small one today, big one is in Denver later

The guy whose daddy bought his way into Wharton, the guy whose grades were so shitty he's never disclosed them – that guy just destroyed the Department of Education. This is what dystopia looks like. This is what Fascism looks like.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.
