As we see Trump fragrantly violate due process of law, disappear immigrants, ignore a direct unanimous order from the Supreme Court, and ship people off to torture camps in other countries, let's all thank Merrick Garland for "sticking to norms" and not prosecuting Trump as the law required of him.

The lie that won’t die is that Republicans are "better for the economy than Democrats." By every measure possible, that is just not correct. Republicans crash our economy, Democrats fix it, then Republicans blame Democrats, and the cycle begins again. Every time. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Had a convo w/ a friend the other day. He's a naturalized citizen from Jamaica. He owns property there and here, and goes back regularly to check on his property. I told him he needs to not go there during dTrumpf's reign or he may not be able to come back. He agreed. What has America become?

The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

UPDATE: El Salvador’s brutal far-right dictator, Trump and Musk friend Nayib Bukele, has confirmed that he will never return any person sent to him from America. And Trump has confirmed he wants American citizens sent to El Salvador to die in a foreign gulag. This is a five-alarm fire for democracy.

President Bukele is calling innocent U.S. citizens who were swept up and deported by mistake, terrorists. Both he and Trump are lying to the American people and promising to make more places for American prisoners. These are concentration camps where people are killed. Republicans want this!

We are going to have to have contempt hearings in Abrego Garcia, and the district judge is going to need to start putting people in jail until they comply with the very basic order of “tell me where he is and what you are doing to find out.” I don’t know what else to do.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.

The attempt to burn down the Pennsylvania Governor's mansion is pretty clearly an assassination attempt, and it's likely an antisemitic hate crime. It should be referred to that way by political media.

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling. People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯. America, we have a problem!

Under the Trump budget plan just passed by Congress, a staggering 70% of House Republicans would personally financially benefit from extending major tax loopholes. More money for them, paid for by cuts to YOUR benefits.
