The lawyers who have taken on the job of bad faith prosecutions of people Trump dislikes are really failing their professional obligations. Simply put, purely making stuff up because the boss resents someone and wishes to destroy their lives is unethical.

Very proud to have had the chance to work with the folks at Borrower Protection in representing AFT in this important case. Hugely important work, although there is still much to do. AFT has shown such leadership in standing up for its members, and it has been enormously effective here.

Are we already at the point in the collapse of democracy where the entire Trump regime is above the law? FBI Director Kash Patel Under Oath: “There’s no credible information that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked minors” 40 minors gave sworn testimonies that they’d been trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein.

I worked for Joe Biden in the mid 80s l, and Rev Jackson was a key ally in the fight against Robert Bork. He was perhaps the most compelling and charismatic man I ever met. Later, when I was at a legal public interest nonprofit, he lent his support in ways that were very important. A great man

If FOX prominently told the truth that Trump is barring funding for necessary repairs for a bridge and a tunnel because he wants them named after himself, his approval rating among Rs would fall The state media are protecting him from himself by suppressing such stories

The Bari Weiss hire, who appears in the Trump-Epstein files 1,838 times, wrote in a 2016 email: “I go into JE withdrawal when I don’t see him.” www.theguardian.com/media/2026/f...

Greg's point here also goes to a larger one -- it's not enough for Democrats to be against Trump's chaos, cruelty and corruption. They need to STAND for positive things, and express their own vision, on immigration, economic injustice, the environment and civil rights.

I'm not always a fan of Bill Gates, but he was clearly objectively right when he noted early in 2025 that the world's richest man was taking actions that would cost several hundred thousand of the world's poorest people their very lives. This terrific journalism proves this further

A friend remarked that there is literally nothing less positive that Tom Steyer could do with his enormous amount of money than continue his vanity campaign. If he actually cares about anything he says he cares about, he would drop out and throw support to either Porter or Swalwell

Kaliane Bradley's Ministry of Time is one of the most beautiful and thoughtful novels I have read in years. I adore this book and recommend it unequivocally, wow.

The Regime really wants to select their voters, as opposed to letting ALL the voters choose their leaders

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

When you put people in important government positions who do not believe in government, and pick people solely for loyalty with no consideration of competence or relevant experience, you get outcomes like this.

It's always about money with this regime. Foreign policy governed by the interests of billionaire major donors. One grift after another.

James Comer spent years and millions of taxpayer dollars trying and failing to prove that there was a policy connection between Hunter’s appointment to the Burisma board in 2014 and his VP dad. But Comer won’t spend a day or a dollar investigating this.

The banking industry lobbyists who got Rs to repeal most of the reforms in Dodd-Frank have made all of us far more vulnerable the next time the economy lurches. As bad as the 2008 crash was, it would have been a lot worse if you didn't have competent people come in as regulators

It's crazy how much terrible racist policy of caging human beings is being driven by the political contributions and profit margins of the private prison industry. It's a repulsive mistake for us to have a system in which powerful people get richer by warehousing huge #s of people with no oversight

The Trump administration censored this report. Why? They don’t want you to know just how much of a mess they’ve made with student loans.

"Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax in 2025. Meanwhile, thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined. See the problem here?" ~ Robert Reich

When Trump took actions in the first few months of his term they would predictably lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths, there was very little attention. Americans should learn to also care about lives of people who live in other countries and are not necessarily white

I know the Supreme Court has gone a long way to help Trump in a wide variety of ways, but would they really want to say that he can block funding of major public works projects in Blue cities unless they name airports and tunnels after him? Is that really the legacy they want?

So many people protesting peacefully in extreme cold and demonstrated intense danger is so inspiring. The people of Minneapolis have modeled genuinely good citizenship for the whole country. The right claiming that they were paid, or that they're terrorists, is just so much desperate lying.

Not a single person I know wants to buy a car from a company headed by a guy who makes enthusiastic Nazi salutes on TV, and most of the Tesla owners I know have enormous buyer's remorse. The idea that the Board will give him a trillion dollars for ruining the brand is just nuts.

Bobby has multiple skills. Here, he demonstrates sucking up and lying, to go with his driving American health policy in a deadly direction.

This is amazing. This has completely made my day.

With this regime's foreign policy, it's always a good bet to follow the $. This kind of thing reminds me of the joke in "Don't Look Up" that America won't blow up the asteroid about to hit the Earth because a billionaire wants to mind the asteroid for minerals used in cell phones

Call it what it is: a concentration camp.

They're lying!

Another illustration of our current patrimonial style of government, where all policies and actions are to serve the impulses, whims, desires and resentments of one single (1) man. Rules, laws, institutions must all bend to his feelings

Greg is exactly right (as usual). It's what the regime is telling people -- if you publicly oppose us, we have the right to execute you. And claiming victimhood is a centerpiece of right wing thought

How can you help? Spread information. Spread it. It breaks through. It’s not meaningless.

This is a murder. Flat out obvious murder

Normally, belts of high winds holds the cold in the arctic. As climate change disrupts normal patterns, sometimes arctic air leaks out to slam areas further South, typically while the arctic has far higher temperatures than normal. Trump's trolling here is just ignorant

The world is laughing at us, and not in a good way.

Some of my fantastic colleagues @bergermontague.bsky.social are representing people, including children, unconstitutionally targeted by ICE in Minnesota. Very proud of this important advocacy, really on the front lines www.kare11.com/video/news/l...

When Vance is happy to directly lie about what happened in an incident where we can all look at multiple video tapes, and say that events were the opposite of what they actually were, it's going to be easy for him to deny what he said a week ago. He's a post-truth figure.

How did they snub Billy Crudup for Best Supporting Actor? He was amazing in Jay Kelly. And Sentimental Value was the best picture I saw all year, but how is Stellan Skaarsgard a best supporting nominee? He has about 1000 lines and is onscreen most of the movie.

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

Let's review the facts at hand here: A Democratic administration discovered and prosecuted a case of welfare fraud. Republicans are now using this case to smear hundreds of thousands of immigrants and militarize an entire city. And your conclusion is that Democrats need to do something different?

I often see people say "Trump's odd behaviors aren't a real problem, because grown ups like Bessent will keep them from doing crazy things." But NO ONE who works for the guy thought it was a good idea to link his desire to invade Greenland to his losing the Nobel Prize. The Mad King is unfettered

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

A Kavanaugh Stop in action. Who voted for some jerks to hassle and sometimes disappear anyone who they think "has an accent"?

The first sale of Venezuelan oil went to a guy who donated $6 million to Trump. The proceeds are now in a bank in Qatar.

Democrats have paid a HUGE price, and America has paid a huge price, to accommodate the egos and desires for legacy of older leaders who couldn't meet the moment. It really has to end now. The Senate Democrats need a better stronger leader who can rise to our challenges.

I wonder if enough other Republicans will show sufficient spine on this point to get the Mad King to back away?

This is a powerful and eloquent statement, and I hope that a LOT of people view this and think about what he's saying. While the regime goes on billionaire funded platforms and spreads lies, Walz is an important voice for the truth here.

There you have it; the Trump admin allows ICE lawyer James Rodden to stay on the job. His personal social media account praised Hitler, supported white nationalism, and said that America started going downhill the day that Lincoln was elected.

He wants to "run" Greenland because it looks big on maps he's seen, he has never even heard of the country's premier. He doesn't know or care how the people of the country feel about his dreams of conquest. All he cares about is what HE wants.

Rahm's "lane" is really the "Democrat" who sides with payday lenders, hedge fund owners, and huge corporate donors. A lot of us think his wing of the party has been way too powerful as it is.

If they are going to murder everyone who doesn't respect the way they're running the country, they're going to have to go after about 100 million people
