My latest at @msnbc.com: "Every member of Congress, like the nation as a whole, faces a binary choice: It’s Trump or the Constitution. We can have one or the other but not both."

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

@markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov filibuster the SAVE act!!

Let’s break this down: in summary- he’s shat his pants because US treasury bonds were being sold off like lemonade in a desert. He’s fucked up big time. And any other spin is bullshit.

Never fails

Yep. I’m hopeful that he’ll learn something from the market rebounding when he paused tariffs, but the fact is that he’ll probably only learn how easy it is to manipulate the market.

Trump‘s asslickers are on CNBC right now telling everybody that Trump kept the trade war with China, because China escalated it. Far be it for me to side with China, but He fucking started it!

Citizens cannot, by legal definition, be "deported." What she's describing is kidnapping and forced imprisonment without cause. She and many, many others in this administration should face prison one day. bsky.app/profile/ones...

This Supreme Court is utterly corrupt and broken and serves only to further Trump and MAGA's cruel agenda.

We wouldn’t be here if SCOTUS had allowed the January 6th trial to go forward as scheduled.

ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them. DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it. Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them. Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it.

On this day in Nationals History…

Remember that Navarro's last job (other than prison) prior to his current gig was "international ambassador" for the "New Federal State of China," a mostly fake org set up by a since convicted fraudster and Bannon that was part of an international fraud scheme. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

As the economic news keeps coming out over the coming weeks keep one thing in mind: this is the fault of one man and didn’t need to happen.

News: FEMA must "immediately comply" with an order to disburse federal funding to 22 states and Washington, D.C., a federal judge ruled. Judge McConnell finds the agency's "manual review" of grant payments violates his injunction. Doc storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Today's stock market crash was the worst since the Spring of 2020. Can you guess who was president during *both* crashes? I bet you can!

Omg this is so stupid I can’t believe how stupid this is

The tariffs are catastrophic. But so too are the abuses of power, so is the corruption, so are the police state tactics, so is the destruction of our health care infrastructure, so are the ways our national security is being endangered, so are the attacks on our core freedoms.

Don’t look at me, I voted for the black lady who didn’t want to burn down our economy.

Asked my smart economist friend about how #TrumpTariffs help Americans or even the rich, because I couldn't see it, and he said, "It doesn't. He's destroying stuff. It doesn't benefit anyone...except our enemies."

If you thought Brexit was the best example of a nation committing collective national suicide you would ever see…you were wrong.

NEW: No fewer than 10 principle scientists at NIH investigating emerging infectious diseases and neural disorders were among those fired by RFK Jr. today. One is an esteemed scientist awarded for breakthrough research into the causes of Parkinson's disease. By me and @emilymullin.bsky.social:

Keibert!! #nationals

Longest Senate filibusters ever: Strom Thurmond - opposing voting rights for black people Ted Cruz - opposing health care for poor people Cory Booker - opposing fascism #filibuster

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥
