He is admitting that he doesn’t want lawyers to stop him from breaking the law. No one would stop him from issuing lawful orders, so this has to be about unlawful ones.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

A sovereign democracy in Europe was invaded by Putin. His forces have inflicted immeasurable destruction, pain and deaths upon Ukraine and its people. The notion that Ukraine should surrender land or pay US ANYTHING for providing help for Ukraine to defend itself is obscene.

Trump does not represent how the majority of Americans feel about Putin’s illegal war on Ukraine. The fact he is negotiating with Putin to end the war in Ukraine WITHOUT President Zelenskyy tells you everything you need to know.

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

US Attorney Danielle Sassoon’s single voice of principled protest should become a chorus loud enough to drown out the weasel-like treachery of Emil Bove on behalf of Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s co-presidency. Everyone needs to read her eloquent words: big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/athena/files...
