tRamp is vermin… a Rat !!

Ten years ago today, the Supreme Court made it possible for couples like Brad and me to marry in every corner of this country. It was a moment we never thought we’d live to see and one we’ll never take for granted.

Most of this “press conference” is this lunatic yelling at the media. This guy is so obsessed with his press coverage that he can’t even function.

If even a fraction of what this letter says is true, Emil Bove should be prosecuted for criminal contempt and disbarred. In no way should he be confirmed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

This is what happens when unreasonable amounts of power is placed in the hands of a madman.

Amid allegations of inhumane and unsanitary conditions in ICE facilities, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is taking further steps to continue skirting congressional oversight. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Breaking: After a classified briefing with Cabinet officials, Sen. Chris Murphy says: "I walk away from that briefing still under the belief that we have not obliterated the programs."   "The president was deliberately misleading the public when he said the program was obliterated."

It brings me no joy to report this, but it’s been almost a full day of the Mamdani candidacy, I walked from Midtown all the way to Greenwich and back, and the city is in SHAMBLES. I saw a man doing pull-up sets on scaffolding. There was a *jazz band* playing in the park, in front of CHILDREN!

The Constitution makes clear that only Congress has the power to declare war.

After @petehegseth lashed out at Fox’s Jen Griffin — and she replied that he has “issues” — she points out European officials also say Iran’s uranium is “largely intact” 👇🏽

Term limits for Supreme Court justices would put an end to strategically timed retirements, which fuel the perception that justices decide cases based on personal views rather than the law.

Getting dragged away for asking questions continues. / This time in Miami-Dadeđź§µ

NOT A SINGLE DEMOCRATIC SENATOR should confirm Emil Bove for the 3d Circuit Court of Appeals.

Most people support taxing carbon even if it costs them, global survey shows

Certainly close enough to the real truth!

The Supreme Court asserts that issues like abortion and trans health care should be left to the democratic process. However, they fail to acknowledge that this process has been undermined by their own rulings, Susan Rinkunas writes. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/scot...

This piece www.thenation.com/article/soci... brought tears to my eyes. So true and so heartfelt. My mom was, in fact, Ms Graham's best friend in boarding school. And she too made bold tough decisions and I too never gave her credit for her strength.

A 49 year old Canadian has died while in ICE custody.

A convicted criminal, married to an illegal immigrant, is telling Americans that the real problem is criminals and illegal immigrants.

The American people strongly disapprove of the GOP’s one big ugly bill. It turns out that ripping healthcare away from millions of Americans is not that popular. #ProtectOurCare

After getting blocked the first time, Sen. Mike Lee is revising his land grab plan and trying to sneak it back into the “Big 💩 Bill.” The new proposal would force the sale of up to 1.2 million acres of public land managed by the Bureau of Land Management.

Senator Murphy coming out of private briefing on the attack on Iran’s nuclear sites: It still appears that we have only set back the Iranian nuclear program by a handful of months… the allegations that we have obliterated their program just don’t seem to stand up…

The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid

The United States is a nation beyond the rule of law. People are being kidnapped on the streets by men in masks. They are being disappeared and deported to foreign concentration camps. A Canadian died in their hands. We must demand full access and independent investigation of his mistreatment.

The world must think the United States has gone absolutely bat-shit crazy, led by a party of corrupt clowns! Republican Senator Mike Lee introduced a bill to withdraw the U.S. from NATO, which comes after a 2-day alliance summit in The Hague. Fffing unbelievable! www.newsweek.com/nato-us-with...
