This is evil. Pure evil.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Holy Shit. They're burning through people pretty fast now. After Sassoon refused/resigned, the next two people - heads of Public Integrity Section (DC) and the Criminal Division also refused/resigned. This all JUST happened. And these are all 'actings', so they're people the Trump crew chose.

This is the essence of it. You can do any and all of this stuff by passing laws. They're not because they lack the votes. So all of this is illegitimate and frankly illegal. I'll go one step further and say there should not be a senate filibuster. You should be able to do any and all of this by ...

Trump may have pardoned the rioter who viciously attacked officer Michael Fanone on January, but Judge Amy Berman Jackson made a few things clear when she dismissed the case, as she had to:

Dems should take a hard line: no CRs or debt ceiling increases without full reinstatement of fired federal employees with back pay and an independent special prosecutor that Trump can't fire to investigate what happened over the last week with Musk.

Such a relief to hear that the 'experts' who now have access to 'a vast range of sensitive information about tens of millions of citizens' are a bunch of Red Bull-fueled interns who believe the law is just a bloated legacy system in need of a quick rewrite. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

The foundational policy of the new administration seems to be that women, people of color, other minorities, the physically challenged and foreigners are responsible for all this country's problems. In other words, everyone but white men.

Excellent post

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

NEW: My staff just got ahold of this memo from House Budget Committee Republicans. It's lengthy and hard to digest but it tells us exactly how Republicans plan to sell out the American people for another round of tax cuts to the rich. We're breaking down the highlights as we go:

Trump pardons #J6er Peter J. Schwartz #BearSprayMan Schwartz has a criminal history of 38 prior convictions going back to 1991, several of which involved assaulting or threatening officers or other authority figures. This is MAGA

To understand the moment we are in as a country, this is incredibly important to take in:

So far Trump has issued a lawless order reinstating TikTok, pardoned 174 people who assaulted police officers, incorrectly identified the Gulf of Mexico, and the media is so scared they’re not showing the Shadow President’s Nazi salute. It’s not yet 9:00 on the east coast.

Did we just have a pastor say we only answer to God 30 minutes after Trump swore to uphold the Constitution??

Trump has exactly two talents: hitting the serotonin button of America’s worst people, and separating marks from their money. We’re going to see a metric ton of both over the next four years.

So all for college teams with a “bye” lost. Which makes total sense because given teams a warm up game after a month off before playing at a neutral site seems like the obvious advantage.

This level of wealth concentration is indefensible
