Mr. Rogers' famous advice to "Look for the helpers" was meant to help parents comfort kids in a terrifying world. For adults, there's an implied second part: ...And if you can, be one yourself. This member of the Brown University community is a hero.

Imagine risking everything for your country… only to be met with violence from ICE. Brutalized by the very government you served. George Retes deserved better. America deserves better. 💔

Yesterday, Gerald Neuman, Kris Collins and I filed an amicus brief arguing that the birthright citizenship executive order is clearly unlawful on statutory grounds. clearinghouse.net/doc/160190/ 🧵

Another Reason Trump’s #BirthrightCitizenship Order is Unlawful By Professors Kristin A. Collins, Gerald Neuman and @rosenbloom.bsky.social "The EO is unlawful for another reason that has received far less public attention: it violates the federal birthright citizenship statute." #SCOTUS

Reminder - birthright citizenship is upheld by constitutional AND statutory law. Check out this amicus brief filed back in May. ⬇️ 🗃️ bsky.app/profile/rose...

A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.” It’s almost as if there were signs!

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.

R. Lakanwal, the Afghan suspect behind the DC shooting, served in the CIA-backed Zero Unit in Kandahar. He suffered from mental health issues even before the Taliban takeover and was disturbed by the casualties his unit had caused. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/27/u...

...I have just seen someone saying "servicemembers should refuse orders...that clearly violate the constitution" and while I agree, there is a distinct messaging problem here. Friends, SCOTUS often can't agree on what violates the constitution. You want 22yo business majors to figure it out???

📣📣📣 HOPE FLOATS? Bipartisan House team introduces #ACA enhanced tax credit extension bill which...isn't terrible! acasignups.net/25/11/21/hop...

“I want their morale as low as possible because a team with low morale is ineffective.” Meet the veteran who chases ICE on a scooter

EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: my staff is releasing a new report showing JPMorgan Chase executives – all the way to the top – enabled Epstein's sex trafficking operation. You're going to want to read this.

The ppl who drafted the bill that passed Congress were smarter than admin & anticipated what they would try to do.

Very good thread on how difficult it will actually be to Epstein redact files. The people who drafted the bill appeared to know exactly what this admin might try to do and wrote this bill accordingly.

"Agencies within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, including ICE, ERO, and CBP intend to implement a comprehensive plan to target Spanish-speaking churches across the country during the upcoming holiday season between Thanksgiving, Nov. 27, and Christmas, Dec. 25."

If anyone has wondered, as I have, where the Epstein investigation went after he died, this is the answer. Also answers bs question about why files not released during Biden admin. And raises huge question about why Trump admin quashed investigation once in office. This info should be everywhere.

Heartbreaking. And the fact that he’s 15 has added resonance right now as ppl post pictures of their 15 yo selves in response to Megyn Kelly clip about Epstein. A child - a child who is a citizen - fleeing because he has no confidence he’d be treated as such if those masked men caught up with him.

Julie K. Brown is a journalism hero for everything she has done to bring a measure of justice to Epstein’s and Maxwell’s victims when our govt failed them so badly. More needs to be done of course. She’s providing more context to newly released emails than I’m seeing elsewhere.

Share this video. Every American needs to see it. Trump's masked forces seize this blind US citizen, Quinn Haberl & brutalize him. Then they called this guy who was simply dancing outside their facility, a rioter. The Trump administration is corrupt & violent. Tell everyone: Vote blue this Nov. 4🧵

It’s crazy when you see the numbers like this. Trump’s 2017 tax cuts were the most expensive in history - increased the deficit w/most benefit to wealthy. But they had nothing on BBB. Why are we losing every good thing government actually does in this country to give more to millionaires?

Powerful words from someone who knows better than most of us what it means to sacrifice for your country. Thank you for your words and your service, Mr. Wofford.

Strange that McCain & MTG might’ve allied in 2017 when McCain did his thumbs-down. Yes, MTG voted for the BBB that created this situation, but she understands now what McCain knew then: you can’t take away people’s health care w/o good replacement. Didn’t have one then, don‘t have one now.

The start of another great thread, this one on Russia disinformation campaign on Ukraine. Trump didn’t even need to pay a campaign staff. The Russians were doing it better than they were.

This whole thread worth a read. Terrifying. Just hope the smart people on our side can stop the incompetently malevolent people on theirs.

Great article & program. Hope NY can keep it going. Trump & co cut funding for violence prevention programs.

This needs to be Dems message on shutdown. Clear, concise & absolutely true. Trump & Repubs care about hiding whatever is in those files. Dems care about American people.

At this point, I presume everything this administration does is corrupt or illegal unless presumed otherwise.

HR1 cut payroll taxes, but Trump's IRS hasn't actually implemented that cut, so that people will instead get a big refund next year. Every working American is being taxed excessively, intentionally, so that Trump can send us all checks next year and call it a gift.

He was of his time and of our time at the same time.

1/38 Yesterday, I highlighted how Kash Patel's poor handling of the case could put it in jeopardy. But today the FBI's lead-podcaster, doubled-down on *STUPID*, in a public interview that is a defense attorneys dream! Let's breakdown the incompetence: x.com/adamscochra...

Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/h... Alt text: "President Trump is committed to protecting the lives of unborn children all around the world," the statement said. "The administration will no longer supply abortifacient birth control under the guise of foreign aid."

This is the ironic thing: people posting about how horrible Charlie Kirk was don’t seem to realize they are 1) drawing attention to his message & thus ensuring it lives on & 2) giving the right wing fodder for their narrative that lefties don’t care about violence; thus they are owning the libs. 1/x

It's way past time to impeach him.

This is so damn petty. Tom Hanks has done so much for vets. There is the well-known stuff like acting in Saving Private Ryan and less well-known like fundraising for WWII memorial & work for military caregivers. The announcement nominating him for award is still on website & shows how worthy he is:

This peace vigil has been running continuously since 1981. Now it’s being dismantled. That man wants to destroy everything with his grubby bruised hands. www.reddit.com/r/law/s/cfPD...

NEW: (Gift) Follow the Money: Miami Herald, NYT seek to unseal Jeffrey Epstein estate records www.miamiherald.com/news/local/a...

This is the journalist whose 2018 Miami Herald reporting on Epstein, his victims, and his sweetheart prosecution deal is credited with the case being re-opened. She’s a hero, and she knows her stuff.

RELEASE THE FILES!!! (Trump’s FBI files, that is. Plus Epstein files. We want them all now.) Pretty sure all Mike Johnson has done has revealed Trump’s criminality was so deep that FBI offered him a deal: snitch or get convicted too. We’ve seen this movie, Mikey.

My rep Virginia Foxx isn’t fighting this? Wow, for once she is doing the right thing. Maybe today’s announcement will be about the snowballs Trump saw in Hell.

the one time I think dems should get on Fox news and demand to know why RFK Jr hates Trump's vaccine

This man has a compelling story. I wish he & so many others hadn’t voted for Trump when so many of us knew he would try & do exactly what happened to this man. But he’s owned up to making a mistake & is speaking out & fighting powerfully w/ACLU to help prevent others from being targeted as he was.

This is the whistleblower who exposed that all of our social security info was uploaded to an unsecured cloud server by DOGE. Please thank him and check out tips from @altssa.altgov.info on credit freezes and other ways to protect your data.

🚨🚨 Pre-Labor Day Massacre We don’t know the why but several of our (excellent) leaders are resigning, effective (we think) immediately. Is this an act of resistance or a purge by our anti-science government?

Like anything that truly matters in politics, this does not happen without organized labor.

Donald Trump’s and Pam Bondi’s corruption of the Rule of Law in America will continue apace until the American People stand up and cry out “No More. We’ve had enough. We are a nation of laws, not of men.”

NEW: Judge orders DOJ to give more info on subpoenas targeting trans minors' medical care. Children's Hospital of Pennsylvania staff warned of "traumatic" effects if forced to provide patient information to the Trump admin. DOJ called the claims "meritless." Tonight, at Law Dork:

Trump’s circus is the distraction. Rockbridge is plotting the next 20 years of right-wing power. JD Vance’s SECRET BILLIONAIRE CLUB is funding media, rigging courts, and stacking governments. Trump is just the puppet. Rockbridge is the machine.

For once, it feels like the fight isn’t one-sided. For once, it feels like someone on our side finally stopped polishing the participation trophy while the other side is busy smashing the trophy case with a sledgehammer. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...
