I’m no lawyer, but if a president doesn’t support the Constitution, then maybe he should just run for mayor instead. We’ve got a country to run, not a guessing game about the rules. If a president’s not sure if he’s supposed to support it, maybe it’s time we put the ‘fine print’ in big bold letters.

In case you're wondering... it's been 17 days since a reporter was added to a Signal group chat where our government officials were sharing war plans. And nobody has been fired... Don't stop talking about SignalGate

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me

Now that Wall Street correctly believes, in light of his tariffs, that Trump is insane, is it really going to look with favor upon the law firms that shamelessly caved to him? Asking for a profession.

Direct evidence of criminal election bribery under Wis. Stat. §12.11: “‘My name’s Ekaterina Deistler,’ she said in a video posted Monday morning. ‘I did exactly what Elon Musk told everyone to do: sign the petition, refer friends and family, vote, and now I have a million dollars.’”

I cannot possibly tell you how proud I am of my NJ Senator Cory Booker. He is still going! He wanted to make sure, on this Special Elections Day in both Wisconsin and Florida, that America knows the truth. "I will yield for a question from my colleague but not yield my time on the floor." Go Cory

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns. Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity. It’s been the plan for decades.
