New episode: @leahlitman.bsky.social joins me and @johnfugelsang.bsky.social to explain how the Supreme Court may be handing Trump the power to gut independent agencies. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

I think it should be the TOP job and mission of the DNC to make sure not a single GOP held seat goes uncontested in 2026. NOT A SINGLE ONE. Do you agree?

Dear the media, When the US president claims he brokered a peace deal in a place with active combat—eg Rwanda and Congo—the story is (1) fighting rages on, and (2) US president lies. The story is not “president touts historic peace deal.” A peace deal involves peace. Sincerely, Factual reality

I'd like to see the next Dem candidate for president (and the entire party) run on a platform of immediately recognizing the ICC and supporting its prosecutions of all who violate international law including heads of state promoting murder, piracy, etc. Hold them accountable.

According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs. Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵

From George Orwell’s '1984': “The aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought. In the end we shall make thought-crime impossible because there will be no words to express it. Every year fewer words and the range of consciousness a little smaller.”

We have 24 hours before the Senate vote to stop the January premium increases - $6,200 annual increase for the average Connecticut family on an ACA plan. Republicans can still choose to do the right thing and vote with us.

NEW: Emil Bove, thumbing his nose at America, is making a mockery of the rule of law. Attending Trump's rally on Tuesday, Judge Emil Bove let it be known that his DOJ actions were just the beginning. Bove must face accountability, and ultimately impeachment. Today, at Law Dork:

This is still VERY illegal. The Trump admin says anyone who pays $1 million will be deemed to have "exceptional business ability" and become eligible for an employment-based immigrant visa. But there's nothing stopping someone from just getting a loan or using parents' money.

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

There is no question about it: Alito, Thomas, Roberts, and the three Trump Supreme Court appointees are all GOP partisan hacks. Pass term limits. Expand the court. Enact an enforceable code of ethics. We must keep pushing Democrats to enact court reform.

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control. All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”. If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

In what universe would an innocent man threaten the ICC?

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Who else can’t wait for this day?

1/ One thing that I think is getting understandably overlooked in the coverage of immigration overenforcement is just how wasteful and inefficient ICE is being even when they aren't kidnapping and caging people who should be with their families. Here's a quick example from my casefiles today:

Truth.

If you think Trump's bad polling doesn't matter, I hope you reconsider after tonight's elections. Maybe his unpopularity doesn't affect *his* behavior, but it definitely impacts tons of other people—including many GOP voters who are either switching sides or staying home.

Democrats—if they take back the House—already needed to launch an investigation into Bove’s egregious criminal conduct on Trump’s behalf before his confirmation to the 3rd Circuit. But they should also look into his brazen partisanship, which obviously violates the judicial Code of Conduct.

Woohoo!🎉

Same Supreme Court said Biden was overreaching when he tried to cancel student loan debt. This Court must be reformed. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

If you wonder whether these comparisons of Trump to Nazis go too far, remember that Hitler was present in the German political scene long before he created the first death camp And at that point, he was calling Jews “vermin” Which-of course-is not dissimilar from Trump calling Somalis “garbage”

Yeah. Go with that message

The most transparent administration in history is now hiding both the complete Epstein files and the complete video of the Sept. 2 boat strike from the American people, only releasing the parts of each that they want you to see while concealing the rest.

March 29, 2023.

Anyone else want to put Tom Cotton on top of a capsized boat in international waters miles away from Venezuela and see how helpless he is?

The number of convicted criminals in immigration detention is about 1.8x what it was when Trump took office. The number of people with no criminal record whatsoever — who are detained solely for immigration reasons — has shot up **25.5x** open.substack.com/pub/austinko... (via @austinkocher.com)

This story deserved a whole lot more attention. apnews.com/article/musk...

As alarming as Stephen Miller's latest comments are, today's lashing out is a sign of how weak he knows the absurd, made-up legal claims are. This is a man who knows his racism isn't an actual constitutional argument.

If you've seen my interviews w/members of Congress and testimonies, I say, I never know when I'll be able to make the next trip. It's sad for me to recognize it now. But again IF I have the energy & stamina I WILL return. I want to let YOU know it's been an honor & privilege for YOUR trust in me. 🙏💜

The Indiana House of Representatives is expected to vote this morning on the redistricting bill backed by Trump. If it passes, the state Senate is expected to take up the measure next week. If you live in Indiana, please call your representative and let them know you oppose this.

“OK, you can gerrymander to cheat in elections, but only if it hurts nonwhite voters.” - US Supreme Court

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

VA must redistrict after the Supreme Court’s decision in the Texas case. The last excuse not to is gone.

Color me shocked…not! This makes me want to 🤮 How can we stop this corrupt administration?

By the way, the real drug traffickers aren’t on the boats. Those are just mules getting paid a few bucks. Trump doesn’t go after the real kingpins, he either leaves them alone or pardons them.

Davidson County (Nashville) early/abs vote is in, and it is solid for Behn. 85% - a strong performance for the Dem candidate. So... now we have to see how long it will take to report Election Day vote, but kudos to the election officials in TN for getting a quick release of EVAV.

Fuck you if you support him.

🎉Way to go!!!!
