Imagine that. #SwampForceOne ✈️

Article I, Section 9, Clause 8: “no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

#ResistanceUnited #Voices4Victory We all know by now that ICE isn't deporting people with criminal convictions. They're taking our friends and neighbors. Two months ago, they "disappeared" 48 New Mexico residents. No one knows where they are. #OnYourSide sourcenm.com/2025/03/17/i...

The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?

🚨 MONTREAL WINS IT IN FOURTH OVERTIME 🚨 THE LONGEST GAME IN LEAGUE HISTORY ENDS WITH THE VICTOIRE'S FIRST EVER PLAYOFF WIN 🤯

What stage are we at with the Qatar jet?

The new head of FEMA warned staff, “Don’t get in my way,” and threatened to “run right over” anyone who tried to interfere with him.

After the mayor of Newark was arrested for protesting outside of a new immigration detention facility, a DHS official is threatening to arrest three members of Congress who were also present. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Someone tell the NY Times that Hillary is accepting a plane from Qatar. Then maybe they’ll stop being pussies and start covering it for the corruption that it is.

I expect another big week for democracy in court. The best way for you to stay informed and support the fearless efforts of Democracy Docket is to become a premium member today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqV0

As we begin another week, my law firm is litigating 52 voting and election cases in 23 states. Democracy remains on the docket.

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." - Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

To the mamas who raised us, loved us, held it down—and still manage to fix everything with a hug: we see you, we love you, we thank you. Happy Mother’s Day to the real MVPs.

Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development. Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system. Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.

When law enforcement starts looking—and acting—like a militia, it’s no longer about public safety. ⚠️ It’s about control. This isn’t protection. It’s intimidation. And it’s a human rights issue. ⚖️ #RightsUnderThreat #PoliceOrMilitia

Honestly? The $400M plane from Qatar is quaint compared to his crypto scam, memecoin con, insider trading, and tariff shakedowns.

AOC: If anyone is breaking the law in this situation, it’s not members of Congress — it’s DHS. It’s people like Tom Homan and Secretary Kristi Noem. You lay a finger on Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman or any of the Representatives that were there… we’re going to have a problem.

Tear off the masks when they show up. Take their photos. Get them on video. Expose them. Out them. Name them. They need to be made into pariahs where decent people gather. We cannot allow them to terrorize us. Eyes open. Phones on.

“The notion that I or any of my colleagues ‘body slammed’ armed federal officers is absurd. DHS is lying because they know their agents were out of line.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

When you watch these heartbreaking videos showing the cruel and thuggish behavior of ICE agents, remember that these people are not being FORCED to commit these acts — they do so willingly. They could quit their jobs at any time. They could say “enough!” ICE agents CHOOSE to do what they do.

This part

It’s a sad and deeply disturbing day in this country. We’ve seen moments like this far too often, including attacks against providers, advocates, and patients, both on the news or in our own backyards. We’re fighting back. But we shouldn’t have to do it under threat of violence.

Justice Sotomayor calls out lawyers caving to Trump: “If you’re not used to fighting losing battles, don’t become a lawyer," she said. “Our job is to stand for people who can’t do it themselves.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

I just wrote about Justice Sotomayor's forceful call to action for lawyers. Hoping Democracy Docket can get it out to members tomorrow. Sign-up now! hubs.ly/Q03jcjqV0

The rule of law is all or nothing and must apply equally to everyone. If there's no rule of law for some people in America, then there's no rule of law for any of us.

If you have to repeatedly break the law to arrest those you claim have broken the law, you’re not enforcing the law. ICE has morphed into a terrorizing Gestapo-like goon squad. They must be held accountable.

It is quite common for a person with dementia, especially in the later stages, to spend a lot of their time sleeping. Dementia can significantly disrupt sleep patterns, causing individuals to experience daytime sleepiness, potentially impacting their cognitive function and overall well-being.

As a German I will forever be grateful to all who fought for the liberation of Europe. But as a historian I am looking at front pages today and must wonder: What is the point of remembering #VEDay 80 years on, what is the point of our thanks, when we are failing to protect the sacrifices made? 🧵

Powell: "If the large increases in tariffs that have been announced are sustained, they are likely to generate a rise in inflation, a slowdown in economic growth, and an increase in unemployment."

#ProudBlue Trump unveiled his new Bitcoin business. So far, he’s made billions Sen Murphy authored legislation to block the avenues of fraud for Trump and others, and to prevent him from exploiting the White House and the presidency Ethical violations will be charged criminally and/or civilly

I know from experience: When we fight, we win. This week, we stopped the GOP from stealing a North Carolina Supreme Court seat. Democracy Docket reported every update on this case. Subscribe to its free newsletters for the latest on all the lawsuits to come: hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Your daily reminder that it is our judicial system that decides if someone is a criminal, not the criminal President or his minions in the executive branch.

More fantastic photos from Russia 🔥🤩

A Navy fighter jet failed to land on an aircraft carrier and plummeted into the Red Sea on Tuesday, marking the fourth major mishap involving the vessel and the third loss of a fighter jet deployed with it since the warship left home last year.

Thank you to everyone who wrote to me to offer support about my appearance on 60 Minutes.🙏 I will never back down or go silent. I hope that what I write might help others, especially lawyers, speak out as well. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-t...

The difference between one of the happiest societies, Norway and America is that in Norway they spend $300 million helping the homeless dude on the sidewalk, while in America they spend $300 million rebuilding Alcatraz. Do you get it yet?

Buttigieg: Like I love A1 steak sauce, but A1 steak sauce is not one of the most important things confronting humanity right now. Artificial intelligence is. And somebody who doesn't understand that probably should not be leading an important federal agency.
