The flurry of anti-Trump rulings suggests that, for now at least, the courts are mostly holding firm as a bulwark against the administration’s authoritarian power grab. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Koh: He said he was going to fix the economy. He has a 37% approval rating on the economy. He said he was going to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours. The war is still going. He said that he was going to fix immigration. His approval rating is underwater.

We have thoughts.... #CaliforniaStrong 💪

NEW: In a SCATHING decision, Judge Briones of the Western District of Texas absolutely SAVAGED the government over this case, tearing to shreds ICE’s hearsay “evidence” that this husband and wife were in Tren de Aragua as “completely and wholly unsubstantiated” — and ordered their immediate release!

BREAKING: Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre has died of suicide. Meanwhile Pam Bondi and Trump continue to sit on the Epstein Client that she claimed they had. Who are they trying to protect? Justice for Virginia!

It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books. It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse. www.chron.com/politics/art...

I’m old enough to remember when Republicans believed in states’ rights www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/u...

He’s a monster. Vought and Miller. Patel and Bondi. Hegseth and Noem. All horrific. Beneath contempt. And RFK will kill millions. I hope magas are miserable. They put us here.

Raskin: So on the logic of this arrest of Judge Dugan, all of the people in the trump administration who participated in defying that order by Judge Boasberg themselves, could be arrested for interfering with a legal proceeding and perhaps other criminal charges like kidnaping..

They make it sound like there are millions of dead people getting Social Security checks. But it's just not true.

Probably not a coincidence that Donald Trump is targeting law firms with executive actions, trying to dismantle Democratic Party infrastructure like ActBlue, and then starts arresting judges. Seems—hmm—I don’t know, is there a word for that? I wonder if there was a word for what that would be.

This is disgusting behavior from a government agency.

Bondi declares war on the courts: "What has happened to our judiciary is beyond me ... they are deranged ... we are sending a very strong message today ... we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you."

ICYMI: Georgetown Law students made a 853-row spreadsheet of Trump-caving firms. It drew national headlines. Recruiters noticed some talent looked elsewhere. Firms lobbied to change their designation. An organizer tells @www.AllRiseNews.com the background www.allrisenews.com/p/skadden-st...

Less than a week until the next rally against Trump, Musk, and the rest of the oligarch class. Don’t be afraid-show up (if you can). We’re building a movement, and we need every voice, every warm body. You are not alone. Link to your closest protest below! #MayDay2025 #50501Movement

Government officials were quietly developing a plan to bring back Kilmar Abrego Garcia before Trump appointees muscled their way in and halted it, per the Atlantic: www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

“Super Genius” Elon Musk Hit With Community Note Over Basic Math Error The Space X CEO was fact-checked on his own platform in a post about the moon landing meidasnews.com/news/super-g...

George Santos in 2020: “I get a lot of pleasure in seeing people pay for their crimes in jail.” Today, Santos was sentenced to over 7 years in jail.

George Santos, who has fewer charges than Trump, was just sentence to over 7 years in prison.

"The Order" on Hulu is based on real life, the 1980s neo-Nazi cell led by Aryan Nation dropout Bob Matthew's, and features The Turner Diaries, a novelized map for neo-Nazi revolt that Timothy McVeigh kept under his pillow, and apparently influenced Jan 6 participants. Well done, worth a watch.

“My simple-minded tariffs have made ‘beautiful’ American goods prohibitively expensive so foreign countries are cancelling orders. THIS IS ALL THEIR FAULT!!!!!!!! WHAAAA! WHAAAA!”

75% of people deported to Bukele’s CeCOT torture prison DO NOT have a criminal record. They’re innocent. Let that sink in. 60 Minutes did the work—this is state-sanctioned cruelty, not justice. This is why due process exists. @farronbalanced.bsky.social

#ProudBlue Monday, CEO’s met w/Trump about rising costs, empty shelves, & the supply chain Our country would be hell on earth in 2 weeks - He promised to be nice Tues, he backed off of China, & the Fed Chair’s job is safe Wed, stocks opened with a rise & bonds are safe Thurs, he bullied China

New in PN: Lisa Murkowski reveals the ugly nature of Trump's rule "Trump is not a normal president who governs through persuasion and political savvy. He constantly resorts to coercive threats. A system where that becomes normal isn’t a democracy. It’s a reign of terror."

Wall Street thought, "The only thing keeping us from raking in all the cash is these pesky regulations! If we could just break the laws everything would be better!" well - you got the break all the laws guy - how is that working out for you?!? www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

It’s time for accountability. When we get back to Congress next week, articles of impeachment need to be filed against Pete Hegseth.

China is icing Trump “10,000 Tariff Grandpa” ☠️😂

This is too good. 🔥 Since MAGA Republicans like Richard Hudson (R-NC) are hiding from their constituents, Dems like Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social and Rep @maxwellfrost.bsky.social are holding the town halls for them! I think Senator Murphy would make a fantastic Senate minority leader.🔥🔥🔥

Our cover this week.

Jon Ossoff: "Trump's hand-picked candidate to challenge me for the Senate seat in GA is executing magnificently-timed stock trades around these tariff announcements...It would not surprise me at all if the inside information is flying hot and heavy around Mar-a-Lago." #ProudBlue #FuckTrump

Donald Trump is going after small donor fundraising platforms that support progressive candidates, because he knows that while he might have the billionaires, we have the people on our side.

What further proof is needed? Full on autocracy is here.

The circle of top advisers in Pete Hegseth’s orbit has shrunk recently to little more than his wife, lawyer, and two lower-level officials—leaving the Pentagon’s lead office without longtime expertise or clear direction. This had led to fears about dangerous slip-ups, such as weapons program delays.

Dr Phil a Trump supporter, has sent a bus to tour Canada in support of Poilievre. This was posted on Bruce Fanjoy’s page (Liberal candidate for PP’s home riding) and was reported to elections Canada for election interference. The dirty games of the Trump administration #never51 #neverCONServative

Chinese officials have insisted that no tariff negotiations are occurring, even as President Trump — whose trade war has rattled financial markets and threatened to disrupt huge swaths of trade — suggested on Friday that he has been in touch with Xi Jinping.

Dear #GOP You are running out of time to decide if you take him down or he is the concrete shoes that drown you. Thanks, Sane America

"This May 22 dinner is a high crime and misdemeanor. A president of the US can't use the office to enrich himself in this way, from potentially anonymous donors for whom he might do favors. This is as textbook as corruption gets." newrepublic.com/post/194420/...
