Republicans use the "I'm not familiar with that" dodge several times a day now, and if a reporters or anchor isn't ready and willing to shut them down as soon as they try it, that means they're either incompetent at their job or a willing accomplice to the lies. Either way, never trust them again.

Just heard a great line from the writer Paul Waldman: Trumpism is based on the idea that "our worst selves are our truest selves". It is fundamentally a bleak, brutal view of human nature ā we all secretly want to be sadistic and corrupt so let it all out. It's not true but it explains a lot.

Something Iāve thought about a lot is that the WH has decided to govern the country like Missouri or Brownbackās Kansas, and most people have never lived in a deep red state so this is all a fairly new experience for them

One plan. Six pillars of international law demolished. Trump's Ukraine plan requires the US to violate 71 international commitments, @EerikNKross has calculated. It systematically contradicts the legal order America built over 80 yearsāfrom the Geneva Conventions to NATO's founding treaty:

DOJ is basically arguing in Court that if the President "determines" that literal martians have landed from Mars and are attacking the United States, Trump can invoke any emergency power he wants and the judiciary can't question it.

great article. one thing i will add, i think, is how for many libs the election was a traumatic event. they deeply believed that it "should not be close", that democrats should *obviously* run away with it, and the fact we didn't must mean americans just LOVE trump's policies

Good morning. The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you. Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for peopleās wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.

Letās make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. ā Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

's take on Kirk is the correct one: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it." On point. So glad Democrats are saying this.

The real theme of the last 5 years of discourse is that liberalism sucks because it didn't solve all of our problems, many to most of which were caused by not enough liberalism existing. This is a great example

I'm going to re-up this. Lisa Murkowski just gave a two-minute, unintentional master-class in why the GOP of the MAGA era will be studied forever in chronicles of cowardice. These are the two minutes she should be remembered for. (She could have stopped this bill.)

ICE fled the scene after ramming a car in Boyle Heights! ABC-7 in L.A. reporting what police said. They're saying there was an incident involving "a federal agent." "They fled the scene." "Hollenbeck Division is even saying they're investigating this, possibly as an assault with a deadly weapon."

Itās crucial to keep emphasizing that these EOs were lawless. There was never a plausible argument they were constitutional. This administration has nothing but contempt for the constitution and the rule of law.
