Perhaps Nikki wants to consult a mirror?

I’m having great difficulty right now seeing how our political system doesn’t devolve into violence.

Proud to be one of the 350 rabbis signing this statement — an ad in the NYT today and a declaration of our values. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... For more—and to sign— go to saynotoethniccleansing.org

Interestingly, in Loper Bright vs Raimondo, the conservative majority on SCOTUS ruled just last year that the judiciary can in fact overrule regulatory decisions made by the executive branch especially when those decisions are not specified by Congress.

This is hilarious. And true!

BREAKING: 10,000 workers at Kroger-owned King Soopers are now on strike in Colorado, shutting down 77 grocery stores. UFCW workers voted by 96% to strike after their contract expired in January. It's the first big strike of Trump's second term.

The data presented in here is pretty compelling. At a minimum, it should be investigated further.

Are we just going to ignore this??

Whoever did this deserves a medal. It's so true!!

It was so obvious what was going. When they said the tariffs would be postponed until Tuesday, I knew he would claim he did something wonderful so they're no longer necessary. His neanderthal base believes he's a brilliant bully beating up on poorer countries. They love the cruelty of it all.

We need a Democratic Party that has a spine and will do what is needed to stand up to Trump. Sadly, I'm not seeing such a Party today.

I absolutely love how quickly Canadians started placing signs in their businesses to discourage customers from buying any American products and I also love how Prime Minister Justin Trudeau specifically targeted Red States in retaliation. I love you Canada, I’m rooting for you.

Message to the grifter king from Canada: "We will have no parley with you, or the grisly gang who work your wicked will. You do your worst and we will do our best. We do not expect to hit without being hit back, and we intend with every week that passes to hit harder." - Winston Churchill

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

Trudeau: I think Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us. I don’t think there are a lot of Americans who wake up in the morning saying, "Oh, damn Canada. Oh, we should really go after Canada."

I really don’t think it’s happenstance that pretty much every remaining institutional safeguard broke down within 15 years of Citizens United

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment. One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

Glad to see that Canada and Mexico are standing up to the 'bully' in the US.

This is Sharpie gate but worse. Trump is caught foolishly saying he turned on the tap to fight CA wildfires. So he opens up some dams to try and make it true. Of course, this doesn't help the fires at all and is actually a dangerously, foolish stunt.

This is truly scary! They don't want information about how to prevent deadly diseases made available to the public!

Felon47 WILL NOT break us Canadians. We will not fall prey to a lying, grifting, rapist piece of 💩 We love our country and will unite because WE ARE CANADIAN ❤️🇨🇦 #SheShed

Hold the fuck on —- what?!?

I don’t fucking think so.

Don't call it a "detention camp" at Guantanamo. It's a CONCENTRATION CAMP.

We say that people don't notice constitutional regime collapse because it comes on too slowly but I'm not sure how much faster it could be happening; we are literally at concentration camps on day 9.

Recall that Garland could have done this himself given that Trump was obviously about to do it -- and then we would have had Jack Smith's report on these cases, without Judge Cannon's interference. 1/
