every single Democrat who voted for the NDAA voted for him to be able to do this

in fairness that actually did it for me

I hate that we have two Dakotas. Republicans got greedy for new states in the 1880s and we're still paying for that a century and a half later. Two states that, when combined, have the same population as The Bronx. They shouldn't get four senators.

Many major companies have abandoned or scaled back their climate commitments because that’s the way capitalism works.

I worked with Todd Blanche at SDNY. He shouldn’t be AG. Two years ago, I warned he’d become Trump’s Roy Cohn for a top job. Now Cohn’s playbook is DOJ practice: Deny facts. Defy courts. Target political enemies. Congress will confirm him. Defending the rule of law is up to us.

Impressive pushback, and something every other sitting judge should be doing.

I want trials for every last one of these mother fuckers.

The Democratic presidential debates need to have spring loaded traps underneath each candidate and any time one of them says "we need to move on" or "I'm focused on the future, not the past" they should be immediately launched through the roof of the auditorium.

An actual three point program to thread the needle: (1) draconian anti-corruption & anti-scam program (2) pack the court (3) proportional representation & expanding the house (It all comes down to Congress unfucking itself and moving into high gear)

TBH I would also haven voted to end all taxpayer funded aid to Jordan because it's a shit hole monarchy that oppresses my people too, that being said, the main reason these 103 Democrats voted against it is because Jordan 1) doesn't kill children en masse and 2) actually listens to the US.

Congress has always had the power to shape the federal court system, and as part of that, the number of SCOTUS justices has expanded and even shrunk before. The idea that the current setup is not only permanent but also somehow vital to our existence is just incredibly stupid.

Rep. Himes: "The president was setting the basis for him to turn around on election night and say, 'I warned you that the Chinese were doing x, y, and z. It happened tonight. I'm deploying federal officers from DHS to 7 states. They will be seizing ballot boxes.'"

Warnock: "Look at this from a common sense perspective. I won two elections -- in '21 and '22. Our congressional delegation is majority Republican, so are you saying that on the same ballots that elected my R colleagues, their ballots are legit and the ballots that elected Ossoff & myself are not?"

Fuck Jimmy Dolan

"According to Ashley Brouillette, he once threw boiling water at her while she was holding their child — an incident her mother Avis Collins also recounted."

An absolute disgrace. A Black man can’t even rest at a North Carolina bus station without being targeted. If fellow travelers hadn't filmed and aggressively shut down the white officer's false claims, this escalation would've been buried. Bystanders saved a life from systemic bias! 🎥 atlblackstar

I think one reason data center outrage is so pronounced is people spent decades recycling and composting and otherwise scrimping to offset energy use and protect clean water, and the second we hit an inflection point for cheap electricity the banking industry said we’re taking all of it, fuck you

An entire personality rooted in "YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME ANYMORE, MOM!" Hey, Eric, the government says you shouldn't idle an old car in your garage with a tube running from the exhaust pipe into your mouth either. Why don't you go stick it to those nosy liberals? Show them who's in charge!

This is how Trump rigs the US prosecutors. He just fired a legitimate US prosecutor assigned by federal judges in Seattle. He dominates an interim prosecutor, then lets the term run out without Senate confirmation, then assigns him as an assistant US prosecutor. Not legal or constitutional.

He didn't know him ... www.amazon.com/Perversion-J...

no one wants to be human any more

You don't get to do this when AIPAC spends 15 million dollars through United Democracy Project alone.

Guess which candidate for Senate in Michigan just voted to continue giving Israel free weapons for forever

Blanche just ADMITTED IT. Violent Oath Keepers and Proud Boys got their gun rights back because Blanche’s DOJ erased their convictions — the same man who defended Trump in matters tied to Jan 6. He’s not denying the conflict, he’s owning it. Call your senators NOW. #BlockBlanche

it amazes me how many people have made it to adulthood and not noticed yet how many if not most vocal critics of Rural America are people who are themselves FROM rural America, and who would rather eat broken glass than go back

They have $35M from AIPAC, but we have the power of the people on our side. 20 days to victory.

Blanche protects pedophiles. And a vote for Blanche is a vote to protect pedophiles.

I'm tired of the woke mob (The Department of Homeland Security) smothering time-honored American traditions

A federal judge blocked the orange felon’s illegal effort to ban IRS from auditing his taxes, his disgusting family’s taxes and his company’s taxes. The judge accused him of corruption and referred his attorney for disciplinary action. He should be in jail, not demolishing the WH.

REP. @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social: “They don’t want body cameras, they don’t want the 🇺🇸 people to see up close & personal the death & destruction. If there was body cam footage of these 2 incidents the level of outrage across 🇺🇸 would be exponentially higher.”

As it's being reported now that ICE has killed yet another person, I feel that it is important to bring up the fact that ICE has, as of this month, begun to cosplay as the media/press while conducting operations on the east coast. It is likely that this is happening elsewhere, too.

Gosh, I hope Durbin got a pinky promise from him. You can't go back on a pinky promise. Everybody knows that.

he needs to be ousted as leader immediately

Thank you Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov for speaking out against integrating the US and Israeli militaries in the upcoming Pentagon bill - a measure that would reward Israel at a time when they are wrongfully detaining Palestinian American student Sama Safi under abusive conditions.

NDAA 219 should be the biggest news. It will permanently merge the US military with Israel. Why are Dems and Republicans supporting it?

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota prosecutors obtain hard drives, car in investigation into fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

I agree with others who've said this article feels like more exploitation of a vulnerable woman. So here's a link to a gofundme.

Exactly. The president is going to spin some incredible lies about the 2020 election and the media -- and every single Democrat in the country -- has to be ready to smack this bullshit down immediately. Not a mealy-mouthed fact check or, golly, this is weird. Call it out as an assault on democracy.

You can and should point out that police killing people daily is the "norm" in America. But that doesn't mean you *accept* the normalization of this violence and the way some people rush to smugly point these things out contributes to collective fatigue. Your horror has been stolen from you.

Ana Navarro: Let’s remember that lCE has kiIIed before, just kiIIed again today. A lot of times has lied about it, has explained it in a way that does not fit the video that we see and, testimony from people on the ground. Over 52 people have died in lCE custody.

hear that guys? entirely new war. total reboot of the franchise, nothing before this is canon.

It really is that simple: there's no reason for an agency tasked with "Immigration and Customs Enforcement" to function as a gestapo that invades neighborhoods and shoots people. Why do they have military weapons and use military tactics? They're supposed to be paperwork clerks.

In my opinion, this is litigious thuggery. Amnesty spoke their truth and it hurt the feelings of the anti-trans brigade. TERFs destroy everything they touch. I mean, imagine suing Amnesty, of all organisations?

This is a video of ICE agents pulling a man out of a car and handcuffing him after shooting him in broad daylight in Maine — just days after killing Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Texas. (1/2)

Maine is in absolute outrage! Protesters took over Senator Susan Collins’ office chanting "VOTE HER OUT" after an ICE thug brutally executed a 26-year-old Colombian man. We demand immediate accountability for this state-sponsored murder! Enough is enough!

Last month the UK, France and Canada sanctioned "Ahavat Gilad", an Israeli Jewish nonprofit that systematically assists settlers in building new colonies in the illegally occupied West Bank. Yesterday, the Israeli National Security Ministry gave it millions of dollars.

BREAKING: Federal judge finds that Trump's IRS suit was improper because Trump controlled both sides of the litigation. Judge Kathleen Williams also sanctions Trump's lawyers, issues monetary sanctions, and harshly criticizes DOJ's "untenable" conduct. More to come at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com
