This is the kind of thing that the Founders explicitly designed our constitution to prevent; a president who has seized wealth for his own benefit without any intervention from Congress, which in our system is supposed to be the holder of the power of the purse.

Hegseth was the guy in college who got drunk early at every party, tried to get everyone around him drunk (esp the girls, who had to defend against onslaught of SHOTS), and then tried to rally drunk people to go blow something up, like frogs or toilets.

It’s very important to women in the legal profession that men take their full parental leave. They don’t call it “mommy track” for nothing. #LadyLawyerDiaries

Speaking truth

That’s an “interesting” legal argument against judicial supremacy

Big: Wyoming supreme court just struck down abortion ban. And get this: The reason is a constitutional amendment codifying a right to make health care decisions... passed in 2012 by conservatives who thought it'd screw Obamacare! Quite the backfire. We explained this lawsuit a few years back:

Just call him Hans Frank

I feel bad for their familiy but there is no general duty to guarantee safety against [checks notes] cars flying through windows

But we can’t afford SNAP

I wrote section 230 to protect user speech, not a company's own speech. I've long said AI chatbot outputs are not protected by 230 and that it is not a close call. Given that the Trump administration is going to the mat to protect pedophiles, states should step in to hold Musk and X accountable.

What if the whole plan is to see what Maduro is willing to pony up for a pardon

Ok it’s a satire acct but who can tell anymore

Senator Mark Kelly has more patriotism in his pinky toe then Hegseth has ever exhibited in his entire life

Um, no we weren’t, we were super excited. And anyhoo what does that have to do with the price of tea in china

Money. It’s run by money.

So hostages. Got it.

This would be funny without the war part

With this regime anything is possible…

@maddow.bsky.social: “There are very few Americans right now who have any idea why the United States did this. If this was about drug trafficking then why did President Trump just pardon the former President of Honduras who was convicted of sending hundreds of tons of drugs into the US?”

#JanuaryMovieChallenge Pastor or minister in a film A River Runs Through It (1992) Reverend John McLean (played by Tom Skerrit) who teaches both the gospel and fly fishing

It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

Tweets we would have seen from Hitler in 1938, but with a map of Russia and Europe, if there had been social media

Getting up to speed on the news

So we arrested a foreign president and brought him to NY to prosecute—no UN sign off, just policing other countries—how does due process work here?

If Trump had succeeded in toppling govt Jan 6 we wouldn’t have wanted eg Russia to bomb DC and “run the country”

I’m sorry what does it mean that we are going “to run Venezuela”

We just took their president and his wife from their bed?!
