If you feel like being inspired by a big law firm, here's the opening to Sussman Godfrey's lawsuit against Trump and his executive order targeting the firm. It still is amazing other firms caved quickly to Trump's mob-like and unconstitutional shakedown. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

At least we can still laugh. 🤡

Literal LOL “.. 64% of US imports from Taiwan are now exempt from the 10% reciprocal tariff, 44% from Malaysia, and almost 30% from both Vietnam and Thailand. 10% to 12% of imports from India, Korea and Mexico will also now be exempt.” 🤡

Seeing more and more of these bumper stickers on teslas in LA

A very, very good question.

Trump is also saying that the once the US has rounded up individuals, with minimal or zero due process, on whatever pretext they choose, they can send them out of the US to face torture, death, life imprisonment, slave labor or other fates that are unconstitutional or illegal in the US.

Has anyone produced the contract by which El Salvador is holding folks for the US?

It is very good question and one I’ve been asking for months. If there is an international agreement with El Salvador for these renditions, the Trump administration is legally required under the Case-Zablocki Act to share it with Congress. To my knowledge, they have not done so.

Trump now saying — contrary to his previous statements and those of federal officials — that people removed from the U.S. to El Salvador are in the “sole custody” of El Salvador

In recent weeks, the number of people travelling from Europe to the U.S has plummeted — by as much as 35%. The sharp decline in tourism is a direct response to Trump’s punishing policies — including tariffs and the horrific treatment of immigrants and foreigners.

The Constitutional crisis all Americans fear is here. A battle between the executive and judicial branches is underway. The Trump regime defiantly refused to meet another court-issued deadline in the case of Kilmar Abrego García. Dismissed was a federal judge’s deadline to disclose steps…

15,000 people RSVP’d for this monumental event. OVER 36,000 people stepped up and showed up to be part of the Fighting the Oligarchy event in L.A. on Saturday!! Our movement is absolutely massive, and building by the day!!

Why are monks so good at protesting? The more ohms you have, the greater the resistance. @mersyme.bsky.social @eggzbacn.bsky.social @wessmith123.bsky.social and I went out protesting today! It was so much fun! 🪧

Taxes are rising the fastest since 1968. Prices are skyrocketing. Families are hurting. Markets are breaking volatility records. Business uncertainty is off the charts. International demand for US treasury bonds is becoming shaky, risking total collapse. Donald Trump is golfing.

🚨BREAKING: North Carolina Supreme Court rejects Republican effort to disqualify more than 60,000 votes in close judicial election. However, GOP dominated court rules 4-2 that several thousand other ballots must be "cured" to be counted. Democratic candidate will continue legal fight in Fed court.

Just in case those of us fighting for democracy in court didn't need another challenge, Big Law turning collaborators is here and growing. My firm and others continue to fight. We will never back down. We will never bend a knee. We will never obey.

If this is winning, man I shudder to imagine what losing looks like.. #Resist #BlueCrew #MidtermMayhem #Build42028

Around 18% of the population will not be impacted by the man with a broken brains' tariffs. The other 82% will bleed hard earned money for the next 3 years. For those that can scrape through or retire with a depleted 401k the Midterms are our next chance to deflate his balloon and weaken his power.

The Orange Shitgibbon is the ultimate sleazy car salesman. He floods the zone with a cacophony of confusing noise desperate to find our trigger and sign the contract. As his "BS mandate" power slips, the lies and misdirection are revealing his art of the deal doesn't translate to politics. #resist

NASA’s budget would be slashed nearly in half under Trump’s current proposal to Congress—a move that would wipe out billions in ongoing and future missions. Wonder who that benefits? (Sarcasm, of course.)

The Trump administration defied a judge’s order to explain how it planned to bring a wrongly deported Maryland man back to the United States.

The Trump administration is recommending the elimination of the scientific research division at NOAA.

Trump administration opens half of National Forests to logging. An emergency order lifts protections on over half of U.S. Forest Service lands as the Trump pushes to increase timber production.

As we’ve warned before, the Trump administration has subjected around 80 staffers to lie detector tests. America, please understand—this is not normal.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

So the State Department admits Kilmar Abrego Garcia is alive and in the infamous Salvadoran prison. President Bukele will be at the White House on Monday, but Trump says he can’t do anything to get him back — like ask Bukele directly! What complete and utter bullshit.🤬

Couldn't have said it better myself, Rachel! talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/doge-...

You know who we’re talking about here.

So all the White House political reporters are spending the weekend getting up to speed on the Abrego Garcia case and litigation related to the gulag in El Salvador so that they can prep good questions for Bukele’s visit on Monday, right? Right????????

Zero. Zero days before he exempted phones, chips, computers and other tech.

I pray you’ll read my latest. We are being challenged as a nation and this is a test we must pass. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Not surprised in the least.

JUST IN: Abrego Garcia's lawyers cite Trump comments yesterday to indicate US can bring their client back to US and should. And Trump admin appears to have missed 5PM deadline to report to judge. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Show cause! We’re on the road to contemptville.

MAGA: these tariffs will bring China to its knees! Trump: oh btw electronics are exempt
