Thank you Bruce Hilpert on your Letter to the Editor in today's Arizona Daily Star! Trump has been clear in his language and behavior that there is only one rule of law; his law. We the people must continue expressing our outrage. Congress has the power to stop this regime. Demand them to act now!

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred. It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become

whats missing from all the coverage is that the president is using the military to harass, brutalize and punish areas of the country that didnt vote for him

From firing the local MAGA-allied police chief to calling for the abolishment of ICE, so much inaction by elected Democrats boils down to "but I'm scared!" I am very sorry, but you said you could do this job when you were hired. Please step aside if you can't.

Trumpian imperialism in action: kidnap the head of the regime, leaving the rest of it in place so as to access the oil reserves for the US companies. Then realize the oil is actually quite expensive to extract, so go ahead and SUBSIDIZE the oil companies. Perfect. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

We could've had taco trucks on every corner and free fucking healthcare. Instead we're invading other countries, kidnapping their presidents and doin war crimes.

I assume Schumer knows this is the end of his political career?

Speaking of dementia…

Government brief finally discloses its theory in Comey case. Alleged FBI leaker is Prof Daniel Richman. But he was not employed at FBI at time of alleged leak, AND it occurred AFTER Comey’s testimony. I’ll discuss on @MSNBC at 11:30 am ET. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71459...

(Miami Herald) - The Trump Administration has made the decision to attack military installations inside Venezuela and the strikes could come at any moment, sources with knowledge of the situation told the Miami Herald .. @miamiherald.com www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

Exclusive: The White House fired all of the members on the independent federal agency that had expected to review some of President Trump’s construction projects, including his planned triumphal arch and White House ballroom.

For the sake of posterity I thought I'd do a thread on all the epically stupid things Trump has done in recent days. 1) Let them eat ballroom www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

JUST IN University of Arizona joins other universities refusing to sign on to Trump 'compact' in exchange for funding preferences. view.comms.arizona.edu?qs=c546cae13...

The University of Arizona has rejected the proposed compact offered to it and eight other universities by the Trump administration. tucson.com/news/local/e...

University of Arizona also rejects the Trump administration's "Compact" 💪 president.arizona.edu/news/update-...

My thoughts exactly! #NoKings

#nokings Tucson,AZ

Swear her in! #nokings

Time is up. I gave Speaker Mike Johnson two days to swear in Adelita Grijalva. Arizona's 7th congressional district 813,000 Arizonans are now being taxed without representation. I have lawyers downstairs right now drafting litigation. youtu.be/9OBdjsGntQI?...

Another HUGE reason to go to a #NoKings protest tomorrow is because these fascist losers DON'T want you to. To hell with them. No Kings, NEVER.

They’ve canceled visas and deported people for much less. But when it’s their own, we’re all supposed to sweep it under the rug and move on.

It’s weird how the “young” Republicans are actually full-grown men and JD Vance treats them as children who shouldn’t face consequences for their racism, misogyny, or xenophobia. But pregnant 12-year-old little girls are treated as adults and must literally bear the consequences of rape and incest.

You can say amazing things if you know that the follow-up question will be "wow." (Smith didn't plant anything at Mar-a-Lago because he was hired months after it was searched.)

here’s more context to the videos DHS is putting out from Chicago.

“A soldier knows what to do when they encounter another soldier. But an air-humping frog?”

If an entire large city was on fire I’d think the president would be expected to go there to tour the damage.

Republicans, do your job. #TrumpShutUSDown

MIT rejects "compact" proposed by the Trump administration. MIT prez wrote: it "would restrict freedom of expression and our independence as an institution" and "is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone." orgchart.mit.edu/letters/rega...

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Come and get me.

This powerful JB Pritzker response to Trump's lawless threats is another reminder of what I tried to argue this morning: Pritzker understands Stephen Miller's theory of this moment, and he's responding accordingly: newrepublic.com/article/2014...

Pritzker: "This guy is unhinged. He's insecure. He's a wannabe dictator. And there's one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump. If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me."

In my “Fine, I’ll do it myself” - era.

What DHS pulled in Chicago on Tuesday is wildly unconstitutional. They smashed down almost every door in the building, dragged entire families into the street, and detained people for hours ("Kavanaugh stops"). Ms. Fisher was held for five hours and another senior citizen was held for three hours.

PLAYBOOK: “.. Fine dining on the first night of a government shutdown? Those Democratic attack lines almost write themselves.” @politico.com www.politico.com/newsletters/...

“It was heartbreaking to watch,” said Watson. “Even if you’re not a mother, seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.”… “Stuff was everywhere…people’s birth certificates, and papers thrown all over. Water was leaking into the hallway. It was wicked crazy.”

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion. Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.

My god. “Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

This is a VERY well crafted lawsuit. 1) Plaintiff is natural born. 2) He was detained 2X in a fast-growing part of Alabama, not in a city that Brett Kavanaugh could be easily duped into believing was all migrants. 3) Unwarranted detentions were on private property. 4) He showed Real ID both times.

America First. Really? Trump says we have to throw 15 million Americans off healthcare and significantly raise ACA premiums because we don’t have enough money. But somehow we have $20 billion to bailout the right-wing regime of Argentina? We can’t let that happen.

News --> Steve Bannon tells me he fully expects Trump to use the Texas ICE office shooting as the hook to unleash law enforcement on liberal immigration groups by connecting political violence to anti-ICE rhetoric. This is going to get ugly. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2009...

“.. We have a term: ‘groceries.' It's an old term but it means basically what you're buying, food. It’s a pretty accurate term, but it's an old fashioned sound — but groceries are down."

Nothing says “land of the free” like armed agents of the state saying “show me your papers if you want your daughter back” bsky.app/profile/nbcb...
