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…

Basically: I don’t think people understand that 36 hours from now it’s possible that America will have a formalized system for abducting enemies of the regime and stashing them in foreign gulags, indefinitely. www.thebulwark.com/p/bukele-abr...

BREAKING: Days before she was detained by ICE, the State Department had determined Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk did NOT engage in antisemitic or terrorist activities. Rubio revoked her visa anyhow. Gift article: wapo.st/4j8d5Uh

MAJOR BREAKING: Senator Elizabeth Warren just told Call to Activism exclusively that she’s calling for a formal investigation into “insider trading” among Trump’s friends: "Did Trump or those with inside knowledge help wealthy investors cash in on his tariff flip-flopping?"

With all the chaos that’s going on around us, we needs some baby goats in our lives. Enjoy!

There are a plethora of reasons to be concerned about AI. But this is about the problem of *humans inappropriately* leveraging AI for unintended purposes. With lazy & greedy companies, this may be the bigger risk.

Oh look, Trump is threatening Mexico with tariffs again. At this point countries will just laugh at this ass clown. His credibility is shot. He can’t stick with tariffs because of the same domestic pressure he’s caved to 4 times already in less than 90 days. Just hollow threats.

BREAKING: Mike Johnson just PULLED tonight’s expected vote on the GOP budget blueprint, for lack of votes.

When this shitshow is over, and it will be over, there needs to be serious discussions about what federal government functions and departments should be moved out from under the Executive Branch. Think DOJ, Homeland Security, and the like.

I kind of want to go

This is big: House Republicans tucked language into the budget res “rule” that bans the House from voting to terminate Trump’s emergency declaration used to impose tariffs. TL;DR lawmakers who vote for this are officially giving up their power to revoke his tariffs until October.

Former DOJ pardon attorney Liz Oyer testified before Congress on Monday, accusing her former agency of “corruption and abuse of power.” She claimed that armed U.S. Marshals were sent to her home to deliver what she described as a “warning” from the DOJ, cautioning her about the risks of testifying.

60 Minutes“could not find criminal records” for 75% of the 238 men the Trump admin sent to a Salvadoran prison. Of the 22% that had records, the “vast majority are for non-violent offenses.” Trump admin still insists they’re “terrorists.” www.cbsnews.com/news/what-re...

•••••••ALERT••••••• Republicans in North Carolina are doing everything in their power to disenfranchise lawful voters and steal an election. The NCGOP is trying to steal a seat on the state Supreme Court. Republican Jefferson Griffin lost the 2024 Supreme Court race to Democratic incumbent…

#HandsOff in #Denver #Co Today! Looks like we had a little over 20,000 people there. Shut down traffic and the light rail system for a bit when we marched!… So Awesome to be a part the #Resistance LFG! #BlueCrew

Tiny, struggling Youngstown, OH just brought the FIRE—850+ showed up to fight for democracy in red Mahoning County. This isn’t apathy. This is a RISING. Even in the heart of MAGA country, people are wide awake and shouting: #HandsOff our rights, our votes, our future. 🤩

Prosecutors are seeking more than seven years in prison — 87 months — for disgraced former Rep. George Santos after he pleaded guilty to federal fraud and identity theft charges.

Dear, Elon Best wishes from Wisconsin

The message is: crowd large. Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift. Events like this puncture that delusion.

Imbeciles are running the United States Government

JFC. It never ends.

“‘It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the Secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies,’ Dr. Peter Marks wrote in a resignation letter referring to HHS Secretary RFK Jr.”

Breathtaking. A federal prosecutor in LA was fired Friday at the behest of the White House, after lawyers for a fast-food executive he was prosecuting pushed officials in DC to drop all charges against him White House ordered firing of L.A. federal prosecutor on ex-Fatburger CEO case, sources say

This is exactly how it started in Nazi Germany. The more we stand for this, the worse it will become

American Public Schools Didn’t Cause This. The Religious Right did! You Could See It Coming In The 1980s.

This executive order is bad — cartoonishly so. But it is also a wake-up call for those who believe the danger of election subversion has passed. To the contrary, it has only just begun. And so has our fight. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

They are arresting people on the streets, terminating their visas, and disappearing them for writing things they disagree with. This is where we are. Two months in. Right now. If you think they won’t begin coming after citizens soon, you are mistaken.

It appears that Kristi Noem may have worn a $60K Rolex during her visit to the El Salvadoran prison camp today.

The fact that the Department of Justice has not, and will never, launch an investigation into this massive national security breach tells you all you need to know about this lawless and profoundly corrupt Administration.

Grassley: "We want to cover up-- or, overcome some of that problem."

Very Well Said and Accurate….

No accountability?

The incompetence of this administration is staggering.
