Every Democrat in Congress should boycott Trump’s State of the Union address — or even better, walk out as he begins speaking. #SOTU

We can help shift the tide! Wisconsin must have fair electoral maps going forward. Answer Musk’s money with a blizzard of small donations. Give Musk the finger and support Judge Susan Crawford for the open WI Supreme Court seat. Our democracy depends on it. secure.actblue.com/donate/hrccr...

I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking “I’m worried about the deficit!”

So imagine what MAGA would say if there were so many airline collisions and crashes during the first month of Biden's presidency as he was attacking the FAA & removing the most qualified people in service of his billionaire Daddy Musk? What would MAGA do? They'd blame Biden. I return the favor.

Holy Shit. They're burning through people pretty fast now. After Sassoon refused/resigned, the next two people - heads of Public Integrity Section (DC) and the Criminal Division also refused/resigned. This all JUST happened. And these are all 'actings', so they're people the Trump crew chose.

I personally will continue to use "Gulf of Mexico" because our president is a wrathful felonious nincompoop with the intellect of paramecium and I do not consent to his cartographic buffoonery

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks. This is leadership. It’s also unprecedented. A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

I wrote a piece about what the Trump administration is doing to NIH sponsored research & what the lawyers are trying to do to stop it. Along the way, I got the chance to better understand the work my daughter is doing around climate change & nutritional food. joycevance.substack.com/p/cutting-ca...

BREAKING: AOC blames crash on Trump / Elon “I represent LGA Airport as well as workers for JFK. Trump gutted the Aviation Safety committee last week. Air traffic controllers, already understaffed, got Trump’s “buyout” this wk with a 1 wk ultimatum to decide. It’s not DEI - it’s him. And Elon too.”

No one knows what caused last night's tragic crash outside DCA. Investigations are ongoing, and no one - not Donald Trump or anyone else - should be drawing conclusions until all the facts have been released. But here is what we do know. (1/7)

THE MOST important legal analysis I have read on the Trump presidency. It offers a unifying theory of the administration's unprecedented claims to extreme executive power. The claimed power to override Congress at a policy whim. By two brilliant scholars. Trevor Morrison and @adambcox.bsky.social

I see some suggestions, in the reporting regarding the OMB impoundment order, that a mere delay in spending appropriated funds is legal. But that's not really true. The delay OMB has ordered specifically contradicts the Impoundment Control Act. A thread.

The people now in charge of the Office of Personnel Management apparently don’t know how to scrub PDF metadata, and have exposed the original authors of the guidance they’re publishing. Two, Noah Peters and James Sherk, have links to the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.

These are not the actions of an innocent man looking to uphold the rule of law and defend the Constitution. They are the actions of a guilty, vengeful tyrant looking to silence his enemies and remove every check on his power. Coward. abcnews.go.com/Politics/doj...

I'll note again: News orgs keep repeating Trump WH line that it's targeting "DEI". As most people understand these things that's false. They're upending anti-discrimination and anti-discrimination in federal contracting rules going back as far as the 1960s. Not trying to make a big point abt ...

With #SCOTUS about to stick its nose in NY’s business, #ManhattanDA should take the gloves off and ask the three Trump-appointed justices to recuse themselves, together with MAGA sympathizers Alito and Thomas. You’re gonna lose anyway; might as well go down speaking truth about SCOTUS’s corruption.
