The constitutional remedy for a president who launches a war of acquisition against an ally is impeachment, removal, disqualification, and ultimately a criminal trial. And the same is true for every member of his cabinet involved in such an illegal undertaking.

remember to leave bullet casings out for ashli babbitt tonight ❤️❤️✝️

Being a civil litigator right now is also deeply strange. My work is fairly intense plaintiff side stuff, death and disease is my job, but then one of my coworkers comes in and it's hard not to feel like an intro scene before we become partisans. Hard to voir dire a jury nowadays given *all this*.

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.

I think the most straightforward framing that captures the severity of the situation is that the government of the United States has been seized by a mad authoritarian regime not meaningfully distinct from Putin or Kim or, well, Maduro, and its members must be brought to harsh justice

Chairman JCOS: “Months of planning…” soooo not an imminent threat justifying self-defense

[verb] this [noun]

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

Our Solar System is orbiting the center of our Galaxy at about 220 km/s so in 2025 we collectively traveled something like 7 billion kilometers across the Milky Way. Once in a while, when you have a moment, it’s worthwhile to take a look around, see where you are, and appreciate how far you’ve come.

WSJ breaks significant news reporting that Mar-a-Lago’s spa *for years* regularly sent young staffers to Epstein’s home purportedly to give him massages, contorts its scoop to find a more flattering angle for Trump, and still gets an icy blast of a comment from Leavitt. www.wsj.com/us-news/trum...

The year is 2035. California's entire base of taxation is young renters and their entire budget goes to insuring suburban McMansions built in fire hazard regions. Half of Florida is underwater financially and the other half literally. Illinois is fine but still fucks up transit funding constantly.

"Academics literally cannot make genAI go away" we also can't make underage drinking go away and we're not advocating for installing bar carts in every classroom.

DK should be able to do whatever he wants to this guy, rt if you agree

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky appeared to wish Russian President Vladimir Putin dead, saying “May he perish” in a Christmas Eve address.

they should have just shot everyone at malheur in the head and walked away

no notes

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

the vice president is a klansman

Donald Trump interrupted national tv today to promise a million people (with guns!) two billion dollars he doesn’t have on a timeline he cannot meet to buy Christmas gifts he has personally fought to make less affordable

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

All the centrists who rushed to fondly eulogize Charlie Kirk should have to read Trump's Reiner post every morning before they get out of bed.

I'm not even going to repost a screengrab of his post about Rob Reiner but man it really needs to be said every single day: Trump truly is the biggest piece of shit in the world, a man of absolutely no good qualities and seemingly limitless bad ones. Support for him is just so damning.

It’s so cool that every website is just Like This now. We used to send guys to the chair for putting pop-up ads on their sites. Now if I want to read something I have to read single lines between autoplaying video ads that use so much RAM they force the browser to reload every 5 seconds.

Every legal story now is either Ancient Circuit Judge Delivers Crystal Clear 100 Page Rebuke To Trumpist Overreach or In Unsigned Shadow Docket Decision, 6-3 Majority Declares Trump Can Hunt People For Sport

some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think

I’m kind of new to the Democrats, but I thought we were FOR respecting the legal process, and also that we were AGAINST political corruption. And that it was especially important to hold to these principles at this time. But I guess there’s some insider memo I didn’t get that would set me straight?

The numbers in here are hilarious. Do you use AI on the job? Execs: 87% Managers: 57% Workers: 27% Planned investment by 2030: $5T "Necessary" annual revenue to justify that spend: $650B Current annual revenue: $50B

TPUSA needs to be banned from campuses and students associated with them need to just be expelled. no legitimate reason to allow an organization that exists only to harass students+faculty and violate student government campaign finance rules

I regret every joke I’ve made about how our elected officials were so old they didn’t know how to use a computer. I would give anything for another administration that doesn’t know how to use a computer

There are specific reasons Trumpists want war on Venezuela, but there‘s a generic one: they crave power to make war on anyone, any time, for completely fabricated reasons, and then to use the guise of war to increase violence and repression everywhere, including home. They are lawless bestial scum.

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

“Oh you think that was easy” youtu.be/--HXlMZvdl8?...

tfw you’re fucking the lasagna man for lasagna

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Connie Chan caters to NIMBYs — e.g., opposing zoning to allow apartments & affordable housing, helping kill rapid bus service & opposing new transit funding — & will try to ride NIMBYism to Congress. She is no champion for affordable housing.

The 4200 Geary affordable housing for low income seniors & veterans was “built” using: SB 35, a permit streamlining law I passed that’s resulted in thousands of new affordable homes in San Francisco State density bonus law that allowed more units & more height $52M in state housing funds

This is rich. Connie Chan says she “built real affordable housing, not the Sacramento version that destroys our neighborhoods.” She points to new affordable housing on Geary: housing that she didn’t build but that *was* built using “Sacramento version” housing laws & $52M in state funds. 🧵

I honestly didn't even know this was a mistake you could make. Impressive!

the problem here is that republicans dont read

I urge members of the legal profession to realize that prosecuting individuals who seek to overturn the constitutional order is not "retaliation" in any normatively significant sense.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

The press contact for FACE THE NATION is [email protected] if anyone wants to explain to them why people might care about a massive pedophile sex trafficking ring that apparently implicates the president and several other powerful men.
