Punchbowl confirms what I suspected in a post last night. Thune reached a deal with Dems to fund DHS except for ICE and Trump rejected it. DONALD TRUMP is to blame for airport chaos - not Democrats.

The SAVE Act would require Americans to drive, fly, or even take a ferry to exercise their constitutional right to vote. Alaskan Senator Murkowski explains:

Trump's presidency is on life support. His approval rating is at an all-time low. Gas prices are soaring. He's waging an unpopular war of choice in Iran. His #1 priority — the SAVE Act — is floundering in Congress. The affordability crisis continues. And he's still hiding the Epstein files.

NEW: Confidence in the Supreme Court has dropped to a new low, according to the latest NBC News polling. Details: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Exactly right: “We’re long past the point at which there are neutral legal principles that can be deployed to persuasively reconcile all of the Court’s behavior … It makes the Court at least look like what so many regularly accuse it of being: a font of partisan political power, and not much more.”

Tonight, in an unsigned order on its shadow docket, the Supreme Court stepped in to save a Republican congressional seat in New York. The Court is a tool of the Republican Party. It must be reformed (term limits, expansion, enforceable code of ethics, and more). #scotus

Saddam Hussein was a really bad guy too. He didn’t deserve to live. But his overthrow in April 2003 wasn’t the end of the Iraq War — only the beginning.

He’s lost his mind. Like Trump, Sen. Fetterman thinks war is a comic book — a fun story of good versus evil. But in real life, killing one bad guy can trigger a prolonged regional war, and geopolitical instability, that endangers American lives, kills thousands and turns millions into refugees.

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close! New: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

New poll: 65% support Supreme Court term limits and 39% support expanding the Court (only 32% oppose). www.gelliottmorris.com/p/two-thirds... h/t @gelliottmorris.com

👀 pretty clear message coming from Americans about Roberts MAGA #SCOTUS for next leaders of Congress: +7 majority for Court expansion. Massive majority wants some kind of structural reform liken term limits. People are sick of GOP operatives in robes running this Court.

Alex Pretti. Renee Good. Has anyone been held accountable for their murders? Anyone?

How many lies is that? I can’t keep track.

Trump threatens us with a good time: "They'd like to pack the court. They want to put on 21 people. Pack the Supreme Court. Maybe they should do it. Maybe we would be better off if they did it."

Trump thought he could gerrymander his way to a House majority. But Virginians are fighting back. Election Day is April 21. Learn more: @fairelectionsva.bsky.social 👏👏👏

Republicans trying to sell new SAVE America Act as voter ID bill. It’s much worse. Requires proof of citizenship such as passport or birth certificate to register to vote which could disenfranchise millions & forces states to hand over voter rolls to Kristi Noem www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This absurdity was obvious even in 2016. Republicans blocked Obama from filling Scalia’s vacant seat. Even John McCain said they should refuse to fill it if Clinton won, effectively reverse court-packing. That same year, Republicans packed the state courts in Arizona and Georgia. Now it’s Utah too

Maryland state Sen. Arthur Ellis says he won’t participate in Senate votes to protest Senate President Bill Ferguson blocking the chamber from voting on Democrats’ new congressional map

Utah is the third state in the past decade where Republicans have packed their supreme court. Arizona and Georgia Rs did it in 2016 to secure right-wing majorities. North Carolina Rs tried it in 2018 to prevent the Dem court from overturning their gerrymanders, but voters rejected their power grab

Trump openly admitting FBI raid in Fulton County was a prelude to interfering with the midterms and attempting to seize control of state and local voting process

We will never stop America’s slide into authoritarianism if one political party plays hardball, while the other refuses to. Utah Republicans are expanding their state Supreme Court to stop abortion rights and nonpartisan gerrymandering. The GOP did this in GA and AZ too. Dem response: crickets

Utah Republicans just sent a bill to the governor to expand the state Supreme Court. National Democrats better remember this when they’re back in power. #ExpandSCOTUS

The new Epstein files production features numerous allegations made against Donald Trump and others.

Today, the Trump Administration arrested two Black journalists. This is a dangerous, unprecedented assault on our First Amendment freedom of speech. Release Don Lemon. Release Georgia Fort.

The Trump administration, especially the Department of Homeland Security, must be held accountable. Period.

ICYMI, ICE tried to invade Ecuador’s consulate yesterday. These thugs are out of control. www.nbcnews.com/video/ice-ag...

"Its acronym, F.A.F.O., references a slang term for negative consequences." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/u...

🚨 Federal judge says DHS has disobeyed "dozens of court orders...in recent weeks."

Senator John Fetterman won't vote NO on ICE/DHS funding if it's still attached to other spending bills moving through the Senate. His statement -- channeling Susan Collins -- expresses deep, genuine, passionate concern. But he won't do anything about it.

No one in America — citizen or not — is safe if DHS and ICE can roam the streets with guns and impunity. We must have accountability, local investigations, and serious restrictions imposed by Congress now.

Text SAVE to 63033 to tell your Senators to vote NO on the SAVE Act and stop voter disenfranchisement.

SCOTUS decision days don’t have to be filled with dread and anxiety. 😰 The Supreme Court could be a force for justice and equality under the law. Shocking thought, I know. But it will require Congress to reform the Court: term limits, a code of ethics, and expanding the court after Trump is gone.

National Democrats take note! Utah Republicans plan to expand their state supreme court, after it halted their gerrymandering efforts. If the GOP can pack state supreme courts, then national Democrats should be willing to expand the U.S. Supreme Court too. #SCOTUS

In 2016 and 2024, Trump railed against endless foreign wars and regime change. That’s partly why he won. But now he’s been captured and converted by DC-based neoconservatives who want America to run the world. This is not what the American people voted for.

Kavanaugh goes out of his way to pen a footnote not having to deal with the case at hand. He appears to be trying to narrow the forces he unleashed with his prior opinion allowing for race- and ethnicity-based #KavanaughStops

did a video a few days ago making the case for supreme court expansion www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjB_...

Jeffries and Schumer should say the following sentence publicly: “Republicans’ policy of court expansion leaves Democrats no choice but to explore the same option at every level.” And then let’s have that family conversation, in earnest.

Congrats to all the Hoosiers who fought for fair representation in Indiana! Special shoutout to the @standupamerica.com members who went to rallies and made 16,000+ constituent calls and emails to their state legislators! 🗳️

The Indiana GOP's new congressional gerrymander failed by a vote of 31-19. 21 Republicans joined the 10 Democrats in voting no.

SCOTUS heard arguments today on J.D. Vance’s case against limits on how much money political donors can funnel to candidates via political parties. If the Court bows down, the ultrawealthy and corporations will have even more influence over our government.

Today, at the Supreme Court, independent agencies are on the chopping block. Justice Jackson cuts through the noise and warns that experts who keep our food safe, air clean, economy growing, planes flying, and more, are all at risk 👇

The Supreme Court agreed to hear Trump's appeal to ban on birthright citizenship. This case is a right-wing fantasy, full stop. That the Court is entertaining it is the clearest example yet that the Roberts Court is broken beyond repair. Full statement from @standupamerica.com:

I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points

Democrats can retaliate against these GOP gerrymanders with new maps in Illinois, Maryland, Oregon, & Virginia. They could flip 7 GOP seats to make up for this & new GOP maps in Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, & possibly soon Indiana. Imposing costs is the only way to deter the GOP from doing this

👇

Justice Kagan’s strong dissent as SCOTUS hands Republicans up to five new seats in Congress.👇 It’s time to reform the Supreme Court. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Pete Hegseth is a war criminal and should be fired immediately.
