Trump and his MAGA thugs want to put a bullet in justice’s head

So he's about as qualified to be a running back as he is V.P. Vance fumbles championship trophy www.rawstory.com/jd-vance-ohi...

At what point do people call this what it is, extrajudicial kidnapping?

It only took us a little over 3 months to get to the “concentration camps for mean tweets” stage of our national collapse.

They are giving deportation notices to US citizens now. A mistake showing how careless they are? A threat to this lawyer? A threat to all citizens who defy the Trumpists? A trial balloon? Or It’s really started?

Sobering.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Trump is engaging the full power of the presidency to settle scores,” our columnist Maureen Dowd writes. “The White House was not meant for petty tyrants on revenge tours. In the biggest job in the world, Trump seems like a very small man.”

Harvard University faculty sue to block Trump review of nearly $9bn in funding

The Constitution is clear that Trump cannot serve a third term in office. But do he and his allies care about that? www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Climate experts expressed shock and dismay at the move. “It would be a bit like unplugging the equipment that monitors the vital signs of a patient that is critically ill,” one said. By @fastlerner.bsky.social

Bernie Sanders rally in LA draws thousands to protest Trump: ‘We can’t just let this happen’

It gets worse: The order found that the administration was covertly withholding millions in FEMA funds from blue states.

AOC: “36,000 people. Biggest rally Bernie or I have ever done. Thank you, LA!”

Senator Sanders and Reps. Ocasio-Cortes, Jayapal, and Khanna rising to the occasion.

The United States is the richest country in the history of the world. But who benefits from those riches? Consider: the richest 10% of Americans hold nearly 70% of the nation’s wealth – while the bottom 50% hold just 3%. See the problem?

Imagine being a small business with debt, that you used to import products you had manufactured in china. In the time it took to make the products, tariffs were added, that more than doubled your cost. They are crushed Are there any states offering support for their businesses ?

Fighting the oligarchy with 36,000 new friends today. Thanks for pulling us together, Bernie.

There’s a special place in HELL for anyone who stands before the Supreme Court and argues that a man they wrongfully sent to an El Salvadorian death camp should stay there.

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

I have a few words for Stephen Miller starting with he should be behind bars.

@booker.senate.gov: "Are we a nation that is going to tolerate this, or a nation that's going to stand up? As the great Frederick Douglass said, 'the limits of tyrants are prescribed by the people that they seek to oppress.' How much will we endure before we say enough is enough?"

@booker.senate.gov: "For a guy who spends the weekend on his golf course and brags to the media about him winning a tournament while the struggling-- this is the kind of gross arrogance of a Marie Antoinette saying, "let them eat cake" ... Screw him for telling people to accept pain."

MTG to be investigated for insider trading. SMITE!!

I hate to say this, and it gives me the chills just to think it, but CECOT is on (and not a short way down) the road to Auschwitz.

This story fails to mention the reason they couldn’t open the doors to save the people who died. Cybertruck doors can’t be opened from the outside when the electrical isn’t working, like when they’re on fire.

Garcia: She's playing cosplaying as an ice agent, running around the country, going down to El Salvador, to prisons. You know, holding guns, dressing up. She is a joke

Casar: At the end of the day, they believe you pay taxes to make them and their friends richer. They believe you should work longer hours for less pay—again, to make them and their friends richer. And maybe they can even squeeze in a little insider stock trading on the side.

Sure. Tell Grandma to just head on over to X to sign up for her benefits.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

WHAT DO THESE GENIUSES THINK WILL HAPPEN TO MANUFACTURING JOBS IN THIS COUNTRY IF THERE IS A RECESSION !?!?!?!?!?!!?

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

Let’s hope Louisiana voters will rise up against this fascist puppet when he destroys their health and livelihoods. Surely there’s some Democrat that can run against this dystopian fool.

🚨NEW: The NC Supreme Court's GOP majority will retroactively nullify 2,000 to 7,000 ballots from military and overseas voters unless they quickly prove their identity—but only those who voted in a few Democratic counties. Could overturn Justice Riggs' victory. appellate.nccourts.org/orders.php?t...

Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

Before folks overreact to headlines about the judge’s ruling in the Khalil case, please note that (1) it was an immigration judge (IJ), not a federal district court; and (2) the IJ had no power to consider Khalil’s constitutional objections. This particular decision was a fait accompli.
