And yet, you're unwilling to even discuss articles of impeachment for a suspected child rapist. You cravenly voted "Present" the last time it came up (7 days ago) Is this obstruction of justice impeachable, or is it not?

FUCKIN FACTS 💯

the USA has a population of 348,109,673, and every day I think about how we managed to select the actual worst one of those people to hold the codes that control the apocalypse

Hearing this is payback for Colorado not honoring Trump/Peters ‘pardon’

Robert, please, this is just crazy talk.

Awfully tedious getting “just do popular things” lectures from people who recommend conceding to the stance with 17% support on a high stakes issue against the stance with 79% support.

Every single reporter there needs to hold the line on this too. Don't throw him a lifeline with another question if he dodges. Have each other's backs and demand he answer the question.

hey look, popularism!

This NYT story failed the reader by not digging deeper. One subject dropped out of college after one year (five years ago) and lists "Windows" as his skillset. Story should be: young conservatives who blame immigrants for their personal failures and whose lives won't be improved w/ fewer immigrants

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.

Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

These are quite literally Nazi/Stasi tactics. There is no place for them in America. ICE must be eradicated, every “officer” must be barred from federal employment and many must be jailed for their crimes.

Fortunately, as @hurricanexyz.bsky.social and others have said, the entire Trump presidency is void an initio under the 14th amendment so we can just ignore those pardons if they happen.

this is a general warrant and it's specifically the kind of warrant the framers passed the 4th amendment to outlaw

Trumpers envisioned the torment of Abrego Garcia as a showcase for their lawlessness and assault on constitutional protections, and a demonstration that resistance was futile But due to the efforts of advocates, legislators and lawyers -- and resolute adherence to the law by judges -- they've failed

This is an impeachment offense, and if our press were worth half of a quarter of a shit, it would be all over every single channel, kind of like Joe Biden being a bit slow with a name now and then.

I would never give ANY government all this information, let alone the Trump regime.

so, this right here? this is one of the absolutely most lawless, brazenly unconstitutional impeachable offenses ever committed by any president other than trump in the history of our country. like, this is an open and shut case. and it's a case which targeted *republicans.*

he's weak and he's flailing and he's never had less juice in his political life know that, even as he does untold damage on the way down, we are going to win

still thinking of the Smart Bros nodding sagely and saying how it's a terrible tactical mistake for dems to raise the salience of immigration

Jeffries has got to go. He has no idea what to do about Trump and it shows. Almost every Dem victory has been in spite of him rather than because of something he did.

God what bullshit

🚨Judge Xinis finds that, incredibly, Mr. Abrego Garcia was never ordered deported in 2019. She notes that every since this saga began all the way back in March, the government has NEVER been able to produce any evidence that the immigration judge actually issued a removal order.

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

There's a Hill bubble narrative, posing as savvy realism, in treating impeachment as some radioactive poison and so Democrats must squash any talk of it. But there's zero evidence for that. No polls back it up, nor recent history. It's all just pundit-brained conventional wisdom eating its own tail.

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

"Trump is an outright racist and he appeals to 10s of millions of US citizens who are also outright racists" is both fundamentally, obviously true ... and something that mainstream journalism has decided is impermissible to say.

Dem consultants: Too far left! Out of touch! Typical middle-class mom: I WILL LITERALLY EAT AN ICE AGENT

wow!

The Take Care Clause was a byproduct of the lessons learned from the Glorious Revolution that the executive should not be able to dispense with the law promulgated by the legislature. It was not a constitutional provision to empower the executive branch— but to constrain it!

We are dealing with such corruption in every aspect of our government, I don't know how we undo the damage.

The GOP enacted civil service reform. The GOP will destroy civil service reform. The GOP is NOT the same party that it was. Keep this in mind when they claim Lincoln as their own

"I saw the video and what if a bird flew by and one of the shipwrecked used a paper clip and squid ink to write a message to attach to the bird's leg to get a message to Suriname so they could continue their mission?" - Tom Cotton probably

Senate omertà mostly kept Democrats from ripping into Jacky Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto over this even though Rosen and CCM's reasons for opposing Mangi were so ludicrously racist they wouldn't put their names to them in public until an angry Biden administration called their bluff

reminder that Emil Bove only gets a lifetime position because the Dems had Islamaphobes block Adeel Mangi

The correct response to anyone going "but what about" to argue against jus soli is "fuck you"

They don't want traditional masculine virtues, which is something they give; they want traditional masculine rents, which is something they get.

If a man personally implicated in war crimes can remain atop the Pentagon, why would he stand by and risk his freedom should Vance (or Trump again) lose the 2028 election? And unless Bradley sees the inside of a brig, the message to USSOCOM's chain of command is that no action is impermissible.

@starshine.bsky.social you’ve probably already seen this but just in case

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime. If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder. It’s that simple.

This entire admin is full of just the worst human beings. Truly the scum of the scum.

Former US military lawyers speak out: "The Former JAGs Working Group unanimously considers both the giving and the execution of these orders, if true, to constitute war crimes, murder, or both." Statement on Media Reports of Pentagon “No Quarter” Orders in Caribbean Boat Strikes 1/2

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

Jack Goldsmith is not some liberal Dem squish. He ran OLC for GWB and has what one would generally describe as a “conservative” (in its pre-Trump usage) view of a lot of constitutional provisions, but he is principled and he says flatly that these strikes are murder.

💯. It's not these patriotic citizens' fault they're being used as performative props by a corrupt, mendacious, and deranged president. They deserve our kindness and respect, and now, devastatingly, our deepest concern and sympathy. 😢

One of so many victims of Trump and the GOP’s authoritarian cosplay. Her blood is on their hands.
