That awareness thing has left the MAGA building …

To everyone shouting “no one is above the law” referring to that Milwaukee judge: We have a criminal in the White House. A guy who’s proven to be utterly lawless. And you’re perfectly fine with that. So take your “no one is above the law” bullshit and shove it up your ass.

How can anyone with a conscience be okay with this?

Im with Judge Hannah Dugan

Remember

We have now arrived at the "arresting judges" level of fascism.

Senator Tammy Baldwin's @baldwin.senate.gov statement on the arrest of Judge Dugan (posted elsewhere):

Funny how the paperwork only matters when it’s a woman or minority voter.

“Since Putin is clearly set on continuing the war while dividing the West…threats (by America) to walk away only incentivise him to carry on. It is a counter-productive approach in defiance of all recent experience of bringing peace talks to a successful conclusion.” A must-read: virg.in/4jCtvUE

Megyn Kelly … STFU!

A "60 Minutes" source tells @jaketapper.bsky.social that Bill Owens "sacrificed himself hoping it might make our corporate overlords up and realize they risk destroying what makes 60 Minutes great." Here's the full quote >>>

Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

'Roadkill': U.S. farmers and businesses are 'completely screwed' by Trump tariffs, @amyklobuchar.com says www.msnbc.com/the-last-wor...

Reading Obama’s tribute to Pope Francis is a stark reminder of how far presidential dignity has fallen. Where there was once eloquence, compassion, and moral clarity, we now endure a swaggering caricature—petty, reckless, and painfully unworthy of the office.

Jake Tapper: "One 60 Minutes source tells me, 'The lawsuit was baseless. Bill Owens wouldn't apologize. He wouldn't bend. He fought for the broadcast and for independent journalism and that cost him his job. It's shameful.'"

We're week away from him promoting "racial hygiene."

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: "The United States government quite literally disappeared these people. It won't say where they are. We don't know. Their families do not know where they are. And they have essentially no recourse in U.S. courts because there are no records of their whereabouts."

The Dow Jones is on pace for its worst April since 1932. Are we feeling great yet?

The convicted felon who has benefitted from due process his whole life wants to remove due process for everyone else.

"'She’s a very talented scientist with huge potential … the capacity to be the best of the best,' he said..." www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

BREAKING: we won! A federal judge has enjoined the administration's shut down of Voice of America Another success for the Constitution and for us @sddaction.bsky.social & our many wonderful partners & clients More details to follow--stay tuned!

🔥 @ninajankowicz.com to the European Parliament: "Before I describe the details of Russia's recent online influence campaigns, I would like to call upon you to stand firm against another autocracy: The United States of America."

“I’ve never missed a court appearance. I’ve never missed an appointment with immigration or ICE,” Daboin Rall said. “The truth is: I don’t have any criminal record. I’ve done everything correctly according to the rules of this country.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Happy Earth Day

Facts matter

Van Hollen: I should also just say, I mentioned the fake margarita, they actually wanted to have the meeting by the side of the pool in the hotel. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar. Which of course is a big, fat lie.

250 years ago today America began its march toward independence at the Battles of Lexington and Concord. The battles marked “No Kings Day, Part I.” Today millions of Americans will take part in “No Kings Day, Part II.”

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Excellent. Here’s the habeas lawsuit filed in DC for all the men disappeared to CECOT we were waiting for.

Man whose tax exempt charity was shut down for embezzlement says what now?

For those breaking the constitution on behalf of Donald Trump with the assumption that he has your back: he may. But he’s 78, never exercised in his life, and will be president max another 3.5 years. There will be not statute of limitations for violating it

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

"We have instances now in western countries where people are being arrested [...] the cop comes knocking on their door, you're going to go to jail for 60 days for posting something online. You know, this is crazy stuff that's happening all over." Marco Rubio on April 16, 2025, if you can believe it

The administration’s lies about this case are insane.

The only reason we ever became concerned with a “trade deficit” was in the 80s when Japanese car companies were eating American companies lunch. That’s it. It’s not meant to be an economic strategy. I have a trade deficit with Applebees but we’re fine

Says the guy whose charity was shut down by the state of New York for making illegal campaign contributions.

🚨BREAKING: Judge finds flying migrants to El Salvador after orders not to "demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt." Visit www.democracydocket.com for full details and analysis.

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..

Coup!
