We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

Reminder: DOGE isnt real. Its a fake department. Fugazi

I'm not generally a "the MSM is the heart of the problem" guy, but it does strike me that a screaming New York Times banner headline reading "TRUMP CLAIMS TO REVOKE BIDEN-ERA PARDONS" would be both appropriate to the moment and entirely consistent with pre-Trump NYT practices.

Wrote about Trump's claim that Schumer is "Palestinian," and why it's antisemitic as well as anti Palestinian racism. claiming Jews are inauthentic and have no real identity is using tropes around Jewish rootlessness and not belonging. www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-schu...

When ICE Administrator Homan says "We're not stopping. I don't care what the judges think." - that is exactly the evidence that I would want if I were bringing a contempt motion against him. The contempt is clear. I do not know what the court's response will be - and there are only bad choices.

This indicates deliberate intent to disobey court orders. US District Court Judge James Boasberg, who ordered the Trump Administration to halt deportation flights, should charge those who ignored his ruling with criminal contempt of court under Rule 42 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.

They claim they can snatch people up, put them on planes, and deport them to a country run by an authoritarian, where those people will be forced to work slave labor at an inhumane prison. All without due process, and in defiance of federal courts. The hypotheticals are over. This is the nightmare.

How disordered discourse has captured US institutions, part 1,001:

"I don't care what the judges think" should be grounds for impeachment for any public official, but especially for key actors in the national security system.

Wow. What a bunch of garbage. He can’t explain it. They will need to outline something real in court.

How is "Administration declares itself above the law" not the giant screaming headline everywhere

Leavitt: "He is now the chairman of the board of the Kennedy Center, where he hopes to restore arts and culture that embrace American tradition, don't disparage it, as we have unfortunately seen over the past several years."

This is sociopathic behavior. Full stop.

No, dumbass.

Dictator shit

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

The crazy thing is every bit of this underperformance is self-inflicted.

“White House officials took the unusual step of ordering a stop to the background check investigations after they deemed the process too intrusive, sources said” It’s a fucking background check. It’s SUPPOSED to be invasive.

I completely understand Schumer wanting to avoid a shutdown - they’re destructive, and they harm a lot of folks who don’t deserve it. What I *don’t* understand is Schumer saying that Dems were unified in opposition only to change his mind a day later. He looks like a jackass.
