IMO Karoline Leavitt will require ***a lot*** of therapy in a few years. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Her 2025 lies have been gobsmacking.

How should I integrate this into my teaching of South Dakota v. Dole's anti-commandeering doctrine next semester?

Trump has made America a place people are afraid of. A place people don’t like. A place that’s cruel. So people aren’t coming here. Even for vacation. Well done MAGA.

One of the most disturbing things about the U.S. government getting themselves into the anti-vaccine game is that it is a time-release poison pill. It will take a few years before the worst of the harm is visible to enough people that they will truly understand what has been done to them.

Same headline. Seven years apart. 🤡 @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

this is a fundamental principle of self-governance, in the end. the constitution is not in heaven. the constitution is not hidden away in some vault somewhere and tended to by nine priests in black robes. the constitution is in all of us, or it is nowhere.

If they pretend they haven’t heard about the story of the day, end the interview right there. “I’m sorry, Senator, we wanted to get your perspective on this story, but it seems you’re not fully aware of what’s going on.”

You are literally in high office or a position of professional trust to do the hard thing. And the hard thing is not to kvetch about how “some aspects of birthright citizenship are 50-50 in this pew research poll”. What was German opinion in the 1930s? What was US opinion on slavery in 1850?

I’ve now had multiple sources tell me the UK NHS is removing the CDC from its list of reliable sources. Welcome to irrelevance.

💯 I’ll take “disingenuous legal scholarship” for $200 Alex. Pathetic.

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

Siri, show me a room full of people whose grandchildren and great grandchildren will one day look back on them in disgrace and deny any familial connection.

Unsettling heavy-handed behaviors by certain hospitals in Chicago ….

NEW data I've received: Just 5% of people detained by ICE since October 1 have had violent criminal convictions, 3/4 had no criminal convictions at all. Most "criminals" had immigration, traffic, and vice offenses. Not the "worst of the worst"...

at the the of the day, you can try to litigate and legislate lying, but you can’t force good faith and no amount of regulating the truth can fix society if its participants aren’t good faith members of the same project

Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?

Unbelievable. No words ….

The number of ways this is disgraceful behavior from the Secretary of Defense is...a lot. Service members do have a duty to refuse illegal orders All Americans have a 1st Amendment right to say that out loud.

I lived life as an autistic person for 41 years, and frankly it's wild to see someone who views your existence as a blight elevated to a position of such consequence. I generally see no reason to discuss being on the spectrum publicly, but I'll make an exception for this vile eugenicist. 1/x

When news media share Homeland Security's version of incidents during immigration enforcement, they need to remind the public that the feds have been caught lying repeatedly about what happened. "Homeland Security, whose accounts of past incidents have often been proven untrue, said today ..."

It’s all bribes and extortion and corruption for $$. Say it loudly. Don’t let them gaslight us.

I want this complete release because it will show that the calls for baseless investigations of me are nothing more than political persecution and slander. I was never a client of Epstein’s and never had any engagement with him other than fundraising for MIT.

The “jig is up” with the GOP. It’s zero governing and 7x24 campaigning, and blue state “hit jobs” on the Sunday shows. There’s nothing there, and the deplorable end result has been Congress allowing Trump to “control the purse” and conduct rampant extrajudicial terror. GOP: Someone lead!

the thing that strikes me about this — again, besides it being false — is the venom and disrespect for the people who come here to work and build better lives. they aren’t “servants.”

Been sayin'. "They'll vote yes to get out ahead of what's coming." (David Shuster last week). Over 1000 FBI and DOJ analysts had their eyes on the unsecure files during the review this past March. That's a lot of potential leaks. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Low class and completely unnecessary. And McAfee just chuckles. smdh

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

Yes. Memory jogger: Donald Trump fell asleep in the oval office for ~20 minutes last Thursday. This is the proverbial “house of cards”.

Newsom near the end: “… on our toes, not on our heals; a resurgent Democratic party.” 🎉 👍✌️ #resist

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt? He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

These operations would be unlawful even if those murdered had all been criminals. But it's important to show just how much deception is involved from start to finish in this gruesome charade.

Well when you put it that way. #UMich

💯 Facts. Despite what GOP/MAGA tells you, FDR and LBJ’s welfare programs did not come from a motivation for federal power (or political party power) for power’s sake. There was nothing “evil” about the underlying motivations of the main proponents of these programs.

The Heritage Foundation, which staffs the current presidential administration and wrote its agenda, spent this past week defending Tucker Carlson’s decision to mainstream actual Nazis. Also this week, a thousand rabbis told me Zohran Mamdani is the greatest threat to my safety as an American Jew.

Watching “Mr Scorcese” documentary on AppleTV. It’s so good. Scorcese: “Artistry involves cruelty.” 🤯🔥 (He was referring to “Mean Streets” and its depiction of his neighborhood friends in NYC.)

Archie Bunker vibes …. Not surprising. Fox News is a stain on our society.

HOW VOTERS PICK A CANDIDATE: -they observe the social environment (largely through media) -they decide what role they want to play in that environment (respected? savvy? oppositional?) -they pick the candidate they think fulfills that role -they reverse-engineer an explanation for their pick

"The Right in 2025 Sounds a Lot Like the Nazis in 1925" Today’s far right may know it’s wrong to talk about a “superior race,” so it just frames it as a “superior culture” instead: zeteo.com/p/the-right-...

For an administration that came out of the box threatening Canadian independence, Greenland’s sovereignty, the Panama Canal, etc., it sure has a glass jaw. 🤡

LOL. Collegial, “aw shucks” Ronald Reagan now part of psyops from his grave ? I view the TV ad as an attempt to deprogram the “off their rocker” GOP. Good job Canada!
