When I see memes, I like to fact check them. I thought for sure this was a distortion at best, or flat out made up at worst. It is neither. It is true. Presidents' words: Analysis puts Iowan Herbert Hoover at 11th-grade level, Trump at 4th-grade www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...

"The fact that they did not offer that courtesy (self surrender) to (Judge Dugan), and instead went out of their way to treat her harshly, I believe is an act of performative cruelty on behalf of the Dept. of Justice, which is not the way any Dept. of Justice should be acting." Andrew McCabe

I truly wish him the best and thank him for his service. The Dems now have to demonstrate that they are prepared to forge a new path forward in which leadership is selected based on the range of skills we need to effectively navigate this emergency, not exclusively on “next man up” seniority.

There was a flurry of news about tariffs. It passed. The real consequences will hit US consumers around Memorial Day. Important then to remind everyone of cause and effect.

Attorney General Pamela Jo Bondi says she is going against corrupt judges. In case you wonder why she hasn’t gone after the most corrupt, Clarence Thomas, there is a professional courtesy between lawyers who take bribes.

I make music. In 2016, when Trump was elected, I recorded the song “Make Them Hear You”. The message is even truer today than it was then. “Will justice be demanded by 10 million righteous men? Make them hear you.” drive.google.com/file/d/11WgE...

NEW: Crowd now growing at the Capitol where Cory Booker and Hakeem Jeffries are staging a sit-in on the steps. Is this building into something? If you’re in DC, they’re encouraging folk to come down there & support. #Resist (📸 Sen. Brian Schatz)

Deportation has been used incorrectly for everyone forcibly removed by Trump. Deportation is a legal term and it is a consequence that can be assigned by a judge, ONLY. They’re concentration camps, kids. They’re putting Americans in concentration camps.

I am not attending parties with the White House tonight. If you want someone that mingles with Trump officials as if we are all part of a DC club, I'm not your guy. If you want to understand how to fight Trump to stop him from destroying democracy, sign up to Democracy Docket now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Donald Trump isn’t just illegally removing U.S. citizens from the country without due process. He’s illegally removing U.S. citizens who are literal children undergoing care for cancer. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Jimmy Carter had to get rid of his peanut farm because it might look like he made an unseemly profit from being president. But Donald Trump is being allowed to shake down foreign countries to personally pay him protection money with his cryptocurrency to stave off his insane, illegal tariffs.

This. Sort of. It’s never one thing that will stop a dictator. It’s the sum of a lot of little things. And these poll numbers are one of those little things. Celebrate it. But don’t lean on it, or depend on it. Keep doing small things every chance you get.

I just posted a new video breaking down the troubling arrest of a Milwaukee state court judge — why the case looks legally weak, and how it fits into a broader pattern of attacks on the judiciary. Stay engaged. #Judiciary #RuleOfLaw #Milwaukee #LegalAnalysis #Democracy

This is an era where it’s really important to know your rights and to make sure others around you know their rights, NO, ICE cannot enter your home without a judicial warrant. Not an administrative one like what they were trying to use with the WI judge to arrest someone. A judge-signed warrant.

They’re detaining US citizens, arresting judges, and subpoenaing journalists because they want to scare us into silence about their authoritarian agenda. It’s not going to happen. Let’s show them what we’re made of.
