Has the Executive Branch become an enemy of the Constitution? jasonstanford.substack.com/p/guest-post...

What would #StarTrek ‘s version of Andor entail? Who would you like to see write and direct it?

We need a new amendment to the Constitution that declares no one, not even the President while in office, is above the law.

I will vote for and help support the first candidate who I believe will: •bring to justice the monsters who have attacked all of our rights by perpetuating this evil upon the American people and

Thomas Massie to CNN on the Epstein files: "This vote is gonna be on your record for longer than Trump is gonna be president. And what are you gonna do in 2028 and 2030 when you're in a debate … and they say, 'How can we trust you? You covered up for a pedophile back in 2025.'"

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it. Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators. Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.

Trump is going to start a war with Venezuela to try and Wag The Dog around the Epstein stuff… #DumbestTimelineEver

I’ve been trying to get a dental issue addressed by the VA since August. I was supposed to have my appointment today. They called me this morning and cancelled due to a sick employee. They told me the earliest I can be seen is February. The VA has never been this bad. Trump & MAGA broke the VA.

The threat of martial law in America isn’t hypothetical—it’s being written into the playbook right now. Here’s how you can fight back. jasonstanford.substack.com/p/guest-post... #Democracy #Resistance #CivicDuty #3point5percent

I went to war to defend the Constitution. Now I’m watching it be dismantled from within. We are in a constitutional crisis — and only We the People can stop it. jasonstanford.substack.com/p/guest-post...

I think I may write a book — Conversations with Scout: What I Learned from Talking to My AI. Here’s a conversation we had last night.

How long have I and others been warning about this??? When will the PEOPLE rise up to prevent it? No one is coming to save us but ourselves.

Stephen Miller is, rightfully so, the most hated man in America.

It’s insane that Trump is using the National Guard from the former Confederate States of America to occupy the former states of the Union.

Dear @mlb.com I once again renew my request — allow the regular home season announcers for each home team to call the national broadcast during the post-season.

Every. 👏 Single. 👏 Word. 👏 This. 👏 Lady. 👏 Says. 👏 If you voted for Trump, this is what you’ve helped bring about. Unless we all stand up & stop it, it’ll only get worse. Today it’s immigrants, tomorrow Democrats, & the day after, you. #ThisIsntNormal #ThisIsWrong #EndICE #StopICE #AmericanGestapo

Chicago isn’t a “warzone”… but the Broadview ICE facility is. That’s why it’s time to say enough is enough. But to do that, we need our leaders. And your help:

What I can’t figure out is where are all the GOP types who screamed about government overreach and a police state when Obama and Biden were in office. This is literally their nightmare come to life and they’re either cheering it on or crickets. Are they all hypocrites?

@pitchingninja.com any chance you could do a comparison of Kershaw’s curveball to Barry Zito’s?

The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

The Trump admin has begun to target Afghan interpreters and their families who are legally in the US for deportation back to be murdered by the Taliban. www.newhavenindependent.org/article/35_y...

"ICE isn’t helping anyone. They’re not making us safer or more prosperous. With every new headline, I find it harder to understand what role they’re playing that would allow us to even call them public servants." I published some thoughts today on ICE and the meaning of public service.

I never thought in my lifetime that fascism would come to our country and most Americans. So many just kind of shrug and go, “Oh well nothing I can do about that…” when there absolutely is something we can do about it.

Do folks realize all that ICE is doing and with the budget they’ve just been given - this is all a dress rehearsal for suppressing the vote in future elections. Think ICE style raids on polling places in contested areas with key Democratic turnout.

I fear that Iran has/will have a deal with Russia - military aid and support (hundreds of thousands of drones for example) in their war with Ukraine in exchange for Russia hosting an Iranian nuclear development program on its soil (where it would be presumably safe from Israeli and American attacks)

Who is in charge in this admin, President Trump or Stephen Miller? www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

There will be times when the truth feels buried—drowned out by chaos, distraction, & outrage. When facts don’t seem to matter, when cruelty is applauded, and when the institutions we trusted feel hollow. But in those moments, remember: freedom is not a gift—it is a demand we must make, again & again

There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

If you think this is bad, just wait until you see them rolling down Constitution and Independence Avenues.

Stephen Miller is fulfilling his high school wet dream of terrorizing all the Brown people in Los Angeles. My daughter's friends who went to SaMo High with him said he used to seethe while the morning announcements were repeated in Spanish. Hell, they did that when I went there. (Mesozoic age.)

Biden and Obama never called out the Guard like this on Americans. Just saying. Why is the GOP, the party of small government, the one that always reaches for the biggest government tool of all - the military - to solve problems?

Lately I've seen many references to the 3.5% rule. A few years ago I pulled together this Q&A on potential uses and misuses of this statistic. www.hks.harvard.edu/sites/defaul...

I fear the protests in LA and Trump’s use of the California National Guard to suppress them is the precursor to Trump invoking the Insurrection Act - all during a time when DC will see the largest ever gathering of active duty troops and machines of war ever. Here’s how I fear it all may unfold 🧵…

Here we go again. This time with just all the fascism. Thanks to Trump I doubt anyone will ever trust America again in any partnership. Why would they? He continues to exemplify the worst of us.

Lee Jae-myung, the South Korean politician who climbed the fence of the parliament to get inside and vote against martial law, has been elected president. Pretty cooool

The Trump admin continues to pardon convicted criminals and return them to our streets. Some return to law and order 🙄

A couple of years ago I put out a series of warning messages about what I felt was the inevitable & relatively soon collapse of Afghanistan to the Taliban: www.armytimes.com/opinion/comm... time.com/5955477/afgh... www.militarytimes.com/opinion/comm... jasonstanford.substack.com/p/guam-or-bust

I just got this from my friend who is a local jeweler here in Aspen, CO. It’s a ring to honor America - the red is Red Jasper from Kremmling, CO, the white is Marble from Marble, CO & is the same marble used to build the Lincoln Memorial, & the blue is Azurite from Grand Junction, CO. $75 a piece.

#Andor is masterful. Give Tony Gilroy the keys to the #StarWars franchise and pair him team up with Dave Filoni ASAP.

I'm calling for an army of volunteers to build a massive wiki that enumerates the things that Trump has broken and that will need fixing: presswatchers.org/2025/05/we-n... Are you with me?

People are NOT understanding what empty cargo ships from China means. It means no work for dock workers. No work for truck drivers, no work for retailers, fewer dollars circulating. The cascade effect is just mind boggling.

This is accurate. And to be blunt, it's because it's very difficult to remove an authoritarian government that's supported (or simply tolerated) by a clear majority. If most Americans are ok with fascism, then fascism is what we're going to have. Turning public sentiment is vital.

This is absolutely bonkers. Trump maybe just a puppet President.

Bukele is going to end up blubbering before an American military tribunal about how Trump *forced* him into their partnership and he never really had a choice.
