“we will work to stop something that isn’t happening and then take a victory lap because the thing that wasn’t happening still isn’t”

an executive order is not a law an executive order is not a law an executive order is not a law an executive order is not a law an executive order is not a law an executive order is not a law an executive order is not a law an executive order is not a law an executive order is not a law

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

Thank God we still have an independent judiciary.

thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning: "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

IMPORTANT

There are tons of reasons to despise Greg Abbott. @dutchessprim.bsky.social nails the biggest reason.

y’all are wild

As more information is revealed, it is clear that the cover-up is even worse than the crime. Every single person involved has no business being involved in our government. At minimum, there should be resignations. And prosecutions.

The only thing standing between Donald Trump and his authoritarian dream is the courts. But to defeat him, we need lawyers willing to litigate against him. Trump is trying to intimidate lawyers and law firms to stop fighting. At least for me, it won't work. I wear his scorn like a badge of honor.

The only way someone can be added to a Signal chat is if the person who started the text group--the admin--directly adds them or directly approves their request to be added. There is no way Jeffrey Goldberg could wish his way into that text group. Mike Waltz accidentally added him. That's it.

Brit is apparently not willing to go along with the New Big Lie being pushed by Hegseth and Fox hosts.

BOOM! 💥 and Mic drop… 🎤✨

I saw the work by Olga Lautman and he findings were disturbing: Steven Witkoff was in Russia when he was added to the signal chat. Russia has infiltrated Signal and used against Ukrainians. Very possible they have the classified signal info:

Because Republicans. Hiding from their voters. The Party of PAB. Shame.

2016 Hegseth would be calling for the impeachment and imprisonment of 2025 Hegseth.

On the bright side, the countries formerly known as America's allies now have a really nice excuse to stop sharing information -- that it'll just end up in some drunken cabinet member's cell phone.

‼️‼️

If Dems ever get power again - assuming free and fair elections (big assumption) - they will never again have the excuse of “we can’t pass laws through congress and the president is powerless.” Presidency is now a king level position capable of law by EO alone apparently.

The NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER added the EDITOR OF THE ATLANTIC to a PRINCIPALS COMMITTEE TEXT CHAIN set up for the DEFENSE SECRETARY about PLANNED MILITARY STRIKES. Here's a thread of involved parties talking about the need for secure communications (when Dems are involved):

Reminder. Pass it on.

Top intelligence committees need to begin an investigation into Pete Hegseth's epic Signal chat mishap. ASAP. There should be televised hearings so all Americans have transparency on how such an enormous breach of national security could take place in first place.

The fact that a reporter was inadvertently given access to this in real time shows that Pete Hegseth & the rest of this crew are bumbling incompetents who are going to get a lot of intelligence officials and others killed at some point. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Democratic House Rep. Jahana Hayes: "What good is it if I can feed my children if my neighbors' kids are hungry? And all of these people who think that we need to recede to our own corners and make sure that as long as you're taken care of you're okay, that is as unAmerican as it gets." Nailed it!

Boycott any company that sponsors. Let make sure it’s just Balance of nature, my pillow and relief factor and whatever else Foxnews one

PSAKI TO DEMS: “Schumer’s party is so mad at him he had to cancel his book tour — maybe it’s time to start thinking about new messengers.”

He wants to be Mussolini so bad he can taste it

When you want to whitewash history you do this.

The distance between a legal resident who's not a citizen being deported without due process and a citizen being deported without due process is a hell of a lot shorter than many folks seem to believe, and when it does happen to a citizen, just remember it started here and who was quiet in response.
